Skills right now are sorted into 3 catagories Chapter 1 skills, Chapter 2 Skills, and Core skills. In factions you only find chapter 2 and core skills you need to go back to Tyria for the chapter 1 skills. http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Skills_by_Campaign


Glass Arrows can be found in morostav trial If you stick to the southern end of the map on your way to durenhim archives you should see him. Also larelle Glass Cutter can be found in Rhea's Crater near the Auriois Mines.

I have found some chapter 1 skills in cantha such as Signet of Judgement not just on 1 enemy but 2. 2 different bosses had this skill. So they may just be hiding.

"Victory is Mine!" and Gladiator's Defense are both Chapter 1 skills only. Hundred Blades is a core skill, so in Cantha, Tyria and all the chapters to follow.

Spike Trap: Nundak, The Archer (Dredge, Melandru's Hope), Meynsang (Am Fah, Pongmei Valley just south of the Sunjiang District gate) and Ryvar Mossplanter (Warden, Arborstone explorable area)

I don't if by explorable area you mean actually in the mission, but their is a boss that sometimes spawns at the start of the Arborstone mission with Spike Trap IIRC. (didn't read other posts so don't know if this has been mentioned)

Ok, I confirmed it. I switched to ranger secondary and capped Archers Signet off of Nundak. EDIT: I didnt see spike trap on him.

I'm at work, so you'll have to wait for a map

Having heard it was "n/nw" of Senji's Corner, I spent half my life in the undercity and Wajjun Bazaar trying to find an entrance into Xaquang Skyway, only to find the entrance locked. Bah. Y'know, as I've given up (commercial) running due to the glut of runners and lack of customers, I think it's kind of amusing how they've stopped that whole running thing in Cantha.

But I digress... Nahpui Quarter mission done, I headed out from Senji's directly into Xaquang in the company of a guildie, still in my resolute search for AFG. I simply tried to keep in a northerly (and vaguely west, but mostly north) direction, using 'ctrl' and scanning around. He was further away than I expected, so be persistent. Eventually, after killing a lot of Jades en route, my guildy spotted him on the far (northern) side of a bridge.

I hope that helps a bit and I'll try to get a map when I get home (but it's early morning here in the office, so that will be some hours away).

Anyone at all seen assassin's promise? I'm guessing it is in some ultra un-explored area like wanderlust was.... last elite I need

For maps overall, I'll have to refer people to http://www.xennon.co.uk/eliteskills/ because I don't think I could dedicate the time to compiling those as well. However, if it's not on that page, you can still request others to post them here.

Have you tried the entrance to Xaquang Skyway in Bukdek Byway? it's just east of the Marketplace-Bukdek portal. I think that one was open for me...

Reason being that NQ is the Canthan ascendance equivalent and Xaquang gives access to Senj's Corner and the profession changer therein. No profession changing without ascending.

I'm more than prepared to believe any amount of blocked exits are open into Xaquang after NQ.

I'm more than prepared to believe any amount of blocked exits are open into Xaquang after NQ. Okay, I believe you. I was just trying to map out all of Bukdek and stumbled across the sign for the Skyway. I can't confirm whether it was unlocked or not, and you have good reason why it wouldn't have been.

To put this back on topic, The Afflicted Kam also appears in the Vizunah Square mission. I know this because I capped Mind Burn from him there.

Thanks It could be intermittent spawn, requiring rezoning, or possibly quest-related. I'll put the question into the entry on the list. (Orange -- thanks for the map BTW)

I'm starting to think Anet might of not put a Coward or Whiriling Axe boss in the game I have 85% of the map explored and I have No clue where a boss or even a normal character would be with these skills.

I been leaning towards the idea that an Luxon or Kurzick Boss type charachter would have it but no luck finding any. The Vasburg General has no elite skills from the gayla hatchery quest.

Another possibilty is that Anet might of made of mistake by putting a cultist fervor boss in Unwaking waters exploreable I only mention this possibilty because when i cleared out unwaking waters I killed the same necro boss twice in different spots and there are already two other easy places to cap the skill.

I tried looking in the exploreable areas of missions after you beat them nothing (Did you know that the tahnnakai temple has multiple levels as an exploreabel area?) .

Right now I'm doing all the active quests then rezoning and searching the areas for warrior bosses hoping that an quest I have might of disabled the boss from spawning but I doubt it.

Someone had a screenie of whirling axe, and it not showing up as an elite. I was going to cap it but did'nt want to in case it screwed something up.

Not putting every elite in the game or making it only spawn on a one off mission would not make sense as it would make the 180 skill title unobtainable until ch3

I've looked everywhere for the following also.

Assasins Promise
Psychic Instability - tho the Kurzick amubshers use this skill when you are running the supplies mission..
Heal as one

Anyone found any of the above??

The only thing I can think of, is that these bosses are in some challenge mission, but i've not done enough of them to check.

We must be missing something..

The full name is Meynsang The Sadistic.

EDIT:
Cultist's Fervor - Cultist Mithuran (necro) - Rhea's Crater (directly outside The Aurios Mines)
Possibly Air Of Enchantment - The Afflicted Jingme (monk) - Unwaking Waters Mission

Larelle, Glass Cutter (Rhea's Crater near the Aurios Mines)
Its Lorelle Jade Cutter.

Grasping Was Kuurong: Synn Coiled Grasp (Naga, Archipelagos)
Its Ssyn Coiled Grasp.

S'skai, Dragon's Birth (Naga, Boreas Seabed)
No ' between the S's.

Energy Surge: Milesfaun Mindflyer (Warden, Mourning Veil Falls NE of Amatz Basin) and just above where you get the Urn of Saint Viktor (Arborstone mission)
Its Milesfaun Mindflayer.

You might be thinking of Furious Axe, which was misidentified as an elite.

There may yet be bugs preventing the bosses that have these from using the skills, so we never see them. Until these are found, identified and fixed by A.net, the best call might be to attempt caps off any pertinent boss with our characters, and see what shows up on the list.

Turns out that if you have Fight the Kurzicks quest active, the Escape boss will not spawn. You will have to go back to Maishang Hills without this quest in order to find that boss.

I went out and bougth the strat guide to see if it had any info according to it "Skyguard Eli" is suppose to have Coward. Since it also list skyguard gita as the boss with powerleech Im guessing they meant Seaguard Eli, My guess is someone changed the henchie builds and inadventenly changed the Boreas Seaboard Bosses builds and therefore there is no boss to cap Coward from right now.

It also lists the Luxon rangers as having heal as one but doesnt list any specific bosses as having that elite

Regarding Escape: I found the boss in the indicate location during the repeatable quests that are available outside the Luxon outposts in the area. I had 2 quests active at the point, so I don't know which triggered it, if it's triggered by a quest. It can also be a random spawn, that doesn't happen all the time.
I know that he wasn't there for 2 times that I explored the area, and he appeared the 3rd time. If you wanna try your luck by picking the repeatable quests, try the one outside Eredon Terrace first (Scouting Maishang Hills), as I suspect it's this one: The boss spawns near the last Kurzick group to kill, so might be this that triggers the spawn.

Beguiling Haze can also be found on Razorfang Hazeclaw in Gyala Hatchery explorable about half of the zone straight north of Leviathan Pits.
Edit: Just checked front page, do we not have tainted flesh? Thats in Gyala as well on an island in the northeast part of the map. Its a yeti boss named Lukrker Foulfist.

It must just be me, but I cannot get to the constructs in Sunjiang District or find a quest to get to them. I know theres the gated tunnel at the bottom of the one hill but I have no idea on how to get in to cap the Ranger skill in there. Anybody know?

Sir Mad et al. We're still drawing blanks on:

Assassin's Promise
Psychic Instability
Ferocious Strike
Heal As One
