Rounding
Hm, not sure this is the right place to ask, but couldn't think of a better one: How does GW handle rounding? If you halve the recharge of a skill with 15-sec recharge, does it round to 7? Does it stay at 7.5? NightAngel 15:18, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Button, Button, How do you delete the button???
Ok, you can drag mini buttons for the menu on to the screen. Great and wonderful use of a mini button. Ok, I have a button I didn't mean to drag on to the screen, how do I get rid of a menu mini button? User:Lady Rah 11:05 EST January 9, 2008(UTC)


 * Drag the minibutton back to the menu --Gimmethegepgun 04:24, 10 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Ok, I tried the above suggestion, it gets rid of the button during the time on, but once I log off and log back on the unwanted button has returned. Any other suggestions?

Automagic footnotes/references.
Wikipdia can do footnotes with the and keywords, but these don't appear to work here? Other keywords, or is there another build-in method? Amy Awien 18:26, 3 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I myself don't see the need of it, anywhere. And I wouldn't know if we have such a thing implemented. I think not... --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]]-- (s)talkpage 18:50, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't understand how one could not see the need for it, there are footnotes on many pages. Manually adding and maintaining them is stupid, especially if the wiki-software can support automatic numbering, updating, placement and hyperlinking of footnotes. --Amy Awien 00:32, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * If you're talking about footnotes made on pages that are like 2 then there really aren't many articles with those. Otherwise I don't know what you're talking about...the normal "Notes" sections aren't footnotes. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 15:58, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, I was talking about the 'superscript-numbers' and the regular hyperlinked wiki implementation. I suppose they wouldn't be used frequently if the mechanism is not available. If it's a standard wiki-thing it can be useful to turn on, I am not going to do them manually. --Amy Awien 16:28, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

The staff Handsmasher
i was wondering if i could purchase the staff Handsmasher through guildwars website. i have tried fighting the boss multiple times for the drop and was unsuccessful. please respond as soon as possible. thank you.


 * GuildWiki is not the place to buy or sell items. Try Guild Wars Guru for that sort of thing. And no, ANet doesn't sell in-game items either. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 18:58, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Nightfall Warrior Nightmare
Bought GW:EN at Christmas and loved it. Decided to bring my warrior over. Had not played GW since June. While looking over that character, noticed she had a 9 strength. The 9 is in red. Nothing alters her strength; do you know why? 24.92.169.191 00:54, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Discontinued premade builds
Why dont the build links located under at http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Premade_build work?

I remember a while back that these links actually worked. Can anyone shed some light on the situation?


 * Earlier these were in-game builds that you could select when creating a a new PvP character (even if you didn't have the skills unlocked), that feature was removed and most of these builds no longer see much use.
 * All builds have been removed from this wiki and current builds can be found at the pvxWiki project. Amy Awien 14:52, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Lost attribute points
Hi just wonder.. Im a lvl 20 Ranger, and when u are lvl20 u should have 200 attribute points but i only have 170 now.. how come? did i do somthing wrong?? ore is it any way i can get the 30 i lost back? i cant use any build now..
 * Are you sure you did the 2 attribute quests? --Shadowcrest 02:32, 17 January 2008 (UTC)


 * There are a total of 30 attribute points given to you by quests. The quests are:


 * For Prophecies characters:
 * Forgotten Wisdom
 * The Hero's Challenge
 * For Factions characters:
 * Lost Treasure
 * An Unwelcome Guest
 * For Nightfall characters:
 * Rising in the Ranks: First Spear
 * Rising in the Ranks: Sunspear Master Sergeant
 * --Gimmethegepgun 02:34, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Done all of them.. Done whit Eye of north, Prophe, Faction and i have rank 7 in sunspear
 * What campaign is your character from? --Gimmethegepgun 03:26, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Prophecis
 * That's bizarre. Have you tried to get Forgotten Wisdom, The Hero's Challenge missions again? If not, then ... well, i'm actually at a loss for words. Try leaving a message on Gaile Gray's talk page, see what she can recommend. Good luck. :) [[Image:Bigrat2sAvatar.jpg]] Bigrat2  Talk  04:01, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

i am stuck
ok so i have done every mission and quest on the little island of nightfall, but i cant get the quest the time is nigh to make it to the docks. i have been ferryed to the docks and have traveled all over that island looking for something that i have missed. i am very confused. i have a warrior that i have made it across with but i cant with monk? somebody please help me!!!!
 * You have done the three quests from Castellan Puuba? Those are the ones I would have missed. You must complete all three. --Shadowcrest 04:25, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

PUG Bulletin Board
How about a page where people can sign up for PUG's for certain missions, areas, or dungeons? Not everyone has a wonderful guild with someone designated to be Julie the Cruise Director. A page with a table that lists missions, areas, and dungeons down the left side and dates across the top might allow people to fill in their names for the dates and places? If a table won't work, can we add sections to the appropriate area/mission/dungeon page that list proposed PUG dates and times and provides a space for people to sign up?

Any thoughts?
 * I'm not sure how this would work. The people who contribute to wiki are spread across virtually all time zones. And imo this isn't really a wiki-page type thing, this really is find a guild/ask friends/hero+hench things. --Shadowcrest 23:51, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

ferry from Night Fall to Proficies
how do i get a character from Night Fall to Proficies?


 * From some point on, I thought Venta Cemetary, you can get a quest in Kamadan to take you to Prophecies. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]]-- (s)talkpage 19:31, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
