Double Vanquish
I know what I'm doing this weekend Zefir 22:52, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll join you! [[Image:Jamster Sig.jpg|19px]] ---Jamster--- 22:53, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * After spending several months vanquishing, if my schedule stays as it has been, I will become a legendary vanquisher on Friday morning. Merick 02:37, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Several... months? You do what, one area every 2-3 days? :) As for me I think ill complete all the eotn vanquishes but gettin another legendary vanquisher title.. ugh. probably not. NightAngel 12:02, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * It was an estimate. I did about 3 a day in Elona and Cantha and have been doing 4-7 in Tyria. Merick 13:38, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Double Faction
Which Faction? Balthazar and/or Kurzick/Luxon ? Unindal 14:36, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
 * As always, you gain double Luxon/Kurzick corresponding to the side on which you're playing AND double Balth faction. Yikey  >:(   [[Image:Something for Yikey's sig 2.PNG|25.px]] 15:09, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Both. (edit conflict, I don't care) [[Image:Jamster Sig.jpg|19px]] ---Jamster--- 15:10, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
 * However, you will NOT get double faction for the alligence rank Timir222 12:15, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Correct, that's THIS weekend =)[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]Entrea Sumatae  [Talk]  22:44, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I think Timir meant double faction for giving over your faction to the Kurzick/Luxon scribes or whatever they're called now. [[Image:Jamster Sig.jpg|19px]] ---Jamster--- 22:51, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, fine. Still, this weekend is good too.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]Entrea Sumatae  [Talk]  22:52, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Double Rep
Time to max out my necro on everything. And finally get that Monument armor for my sin. Zefir 03:48, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Books? Vazde 16:40, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * "Points for completing books are unaffected." D: [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 16:44, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, missed that one. Vazde 18:52, 27 February 2008 (UTC)


 * So if books are unaffected, what would be the best way to take advantage of this event? -Meridan 09:47, 28 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Farming for points while filling in books? I mean doing dungeons will fill up the book and let you accumulate dwarf points. I guess that the points you get for completing the dungeon quests will be doubled as well giving you ample opportunity to get other points when doing the dungeons as well. --Winterbay 10:07, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Dungeons don't give you anything other than Deldrimor points. You get reputation points for Ebon, Norn and Asura as quest rewards, but those aren't doubled. It's also not the most efficient method of gaining Deldrimor points. --[[Image:Scottie_bow.jpg|19px]]  Scottie_theNerd  (argue)  10:59, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
 * So what about additional rewards while under the bounty? Defeating a Norn on res shrine? Bosses additional rewards? If these won't count... <.< Not that great unless you're going to Vanquish or clear whole area in NM just for points. J Striker 11:02, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

You will probably gain double points from bosses and Norn at res shrines (though they give barely anything anyway). The best way to make use of the event is to run any of the popular farming areas, as outlined in the respective title track articles. For example: Magus Stones for Asura, Secret Lair of the Snowmen for Deldrimor, The Path to Revelations for Norn and Dalada Uplands in a Siege Devourer for Ebon Vanguard. There's not much thought to this: if you want the most points possible, you farm them. Vanquishing an area will give you points, but it may not be the best use of your time if all you want is reputation. Same thing with Sunspear/Lightbringer weekend: the reason why we have 25k+ minutes of Favor is because players ran the Sulfurous Wastes route. --  Scottie_theNerd  (argue)  11:07, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Time to do some Path to Revelations in HM at weekend then. Do want 900 points per boss (after 251 kills ofc x_X ). ^^ J Striker 11:21, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I just tried doing that farm for the first time and man.... after about an hour I almost had 250 kills and I wiped so often once I got to the mixed Vaettir and Modniir groups, almost seemed more trouble than it was worth -Meridan 18:39, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Its possible to get 1800 points per boss with Hunt Rampage this weekendApu of Kwik E 15:32, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

removing announcements
So yesterday I moved the special weekend to the archives, but seeing as they still dropped, someone reverted my move, which is fair, of course, but my GW client had already removed the announcement, so when do we move this, when GW stops displaying it, or when it actually ends? -- GamerJ ( Talk  ! ) 10:18, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
 * When it ends imo. Otherwise people won't know that the event is still occurring. Its odd that they took down the announcement in the game early. &mdash;&clubs; Jedi &clubs; Rogue &clubs; 10:21, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, this event's announcement was lifted off early. J Striker 10:22, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry about doing that, though; I hadn't actually started up GW to check on the login announcement until after I reverted. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 16:35, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * And I hadn't checked whether the event was still running :P -- GamerJ ( Talk  ! ) 13:37, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Sweet Treat Weekend" text=This Weekend
Anyone else see this in their login announcement screen? Unindal 23:34, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Yep, I wonder how long until they notice and fix it. Ezekiel  [Talk]  23:42, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, someone failed with the formating xD, Funny ;]. In any case: Easter is coming people! Woo!! :D &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 23:52, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Maybe a not-so-well-hidden Easter Egg ? :D Topinambour 18:59, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Only now do I realise the pun (intentional or not and disregarding the fact this isn't an easter egg) -- GamerJ ( Talk  ! ) 13:38, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * There's one more thing to say: like last year, it says "Tyria" but it's actually all the continents of the three campaign + EotN. Topinambour 07:22, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
 * That's not a mistake, see Tyria (world), the whole world is called Tyria. Ezekiel  [Talk]  07:27, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
