Wiki markup tables
Hi all, I am trying to make my userpage and I'm using some templates and userboxes. I want 'em a bit organized so I put all my userboxes in a table. My character template is also in a table. Now I want the char table to be align left and the userboxes right (same height from the top). I just can't seem to get is working. Any wizards around who can help me? Check my user page to see what I mean. Please don't just correct it tell my what I need to do different. Carnelain 09:31, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Survivor Title
I may be wrong, but wasn't there an update a while back that allowed players to earn survivor title even after having incurred at least one death simply by earning the required xp for each level?
 * Think you're wrong there. See Game updates, lots of people want it to happen, but I don't think it ever did.Jam[[Image:Jamster Sig.gif|19px]]ster 09:34, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

 * GW may still be processing the massive change (deleting 999 files is a lot) so perhaps you need to purge the cache and restart GW/computer. If that doesn't work, as a last resort you could reinstall I guess... [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 01:23, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

mini pet dragon
Is there any way to get a dragon other then buying the Factions Collector's edition? If there is how and how much does it cost? If not maybe the online store could start selling the mini pets.
 * Don't think so... and thank goodness it dosn't RT | Talk  19:45, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
 * You can only get a Kuunavang by getting the Factions CE, or by buying it from other players. It's market price is probably still over 100k. And no, selling Collectors Edition exclusive items in the store is a bad idea, and thankfully it will never happen. &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 20:30, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Owning Outpost
Is there an article about the mechanics of alliances acquiring factions outposts? I couldnt find on. What is the benefit of owning non-capitals? do you save massive amounts of faction, then buy one and hold it until another alliance saves up more? what mechanic allows them to change hands as luxons/kurzicks daily push eachother back in the alliance battles? can a kurzick alliance buy a luxon town, even if they are currently losing in the AB arena?
 * I think Kurzick-Luxon border has most (if not all) of the info you're looking for. --Shadowcrest  22:10, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

So is Kurz/Luxon affiliation unrelated to guild ownership then?
 * You'll never take HzH if you're luxon... so kinda --Shadowcrest  01:21, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

I mean besides the capitals. So even if a outpost shows up as red on the map, it can still be owned by an alliance that is kurzick aligned? Also, does faction invested in acquiring an outpost degenerate with time? What i mean is, does an outpost get cheaper the longer a single alliance owns it, or does a new owner have to 1-up the previous owning alliance (and therefore each outpost continually gets more expensive as time goes on)?
 * As noted in the Alliance Faction article, your alliance loses 10% faction each day. If you want to own a town, you just have to be in a "top ten" alliance. The alliance that has the most faction in the game takes the capital. The next alliance in line takes the next free outpost furthest from the border and so on until all outposts are owned by someone. If the border moves, more (or less) outposts become available for that faction. If you want to take a town, you'll have to get a few million faction going and keep it up daily. &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 04:39, 1 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Essentiallly, as i understand it, for a faction (luxon or kurzick) to take an outpost that faction has to own the surrounding outposts (usually this means causing the border to go over that outpost). Now, once an outpost is under the control of a faction, it gets ascribed to one of the alliances of guilds belonging to that faction with the highest amount of alliance faction. The order in which outposts are designated is detailed on the Alliance Faction article. So, when the border moves, if the Harvest temple is under luxon control, it gets assigned to the luxon alliance with the 9th highest amount of alliance faction. If it becomes kurzick owned then it is assigned to the kurzick alliance with the 10th highest amount of alliance faction, because it is normally a luxon outpost, so if the kurzicks have taken it, they already possess their 9 outposts so the kurzick alliance with the 9th highest amount of faction has Durheim Archives. Of course, only 5 outposts for each faction can be taken by the other side, all others are permanantly assigned to alliances belonging to the faction with which they are alligned. E.g. Cavalon is always luxon, no matter where the border is. The benefit of owning an outpost is that it allows members of the owning alliance to access the restricted area of that outpost and gain access to a discoutn merchant who sells things cheaper, as well as some other NPCs depending on the outpost. Owning a capital allows you to gain access to elite missions.The movement of the border is decided by who has won the most alliance battles and by what margin in a 3 hour period.--Cobalt </B>| <font color="Green">Talk</B>  18:51, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

New Quests on Desert
When I started playing Guild Wars, about one year ago, I've noticed that many people were getting lost, because there were no prymary quests in the Cristal Desert (Prophecies), but now there is a prymary quest!. I've checked the Updates and there was nothing about it. When did this quest appeared? I'm sure I haven't done it and I don't receive anything when I talk to Hosthly Hero in Amnoon Oasis...
 * The Sands Of Souls quest was there all along. It was a while since I've done Prophecies, but I think that many people miss it because the Ghostly Hero is quite big, and the quest marker isn't above his head, but "inside" his model. I don't see any Primary quests that would lead you to the 3 mission outposts though, so that may be the main reason. Personally I think it would be good to go exploring once on your own instead of following some green arrow... &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 10:07, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Formatting of Wikipedia links
I have noticed that i cannot use HTML font colour tags to alter the colour of wikipedia links such as <font color=Yellow>random link. I was wondering if there was anyway to change the colour of these links?--<font color="Blue">Cobalt </B>| <font color="Green">Talk</B>  18:56, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Official Wiki Links
I have noticed a number of anon IPs creating links on talkpages to the official wiki. I was wondering wether we should remove these as Perhaps we should create a policy on the subject?--<font color="Blue">Cobalt </B>| <font color="Green">Talk</B>  12:01, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The official wiki has already done enough damage to the numbers of people visiting this site
 * The official wiki removes all links to here that get posted on it
 * The official wiki fails
 * I didn't know what links from the official wiki to here are getting deleted <.<. As far as linking to the official wiki, it depends. I made a link to Gaile Talk in the update that limited Taiwanese users recently, and I think that link is important, so not every link would be bad... &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 13:11, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * No, but I'd like to talk to them for being anticompetitive <font color="Blue">RT </B>| <font color="Black">Talk</B>
 * Yeah, it's rather silly, they're the bigger wiki after all (Taking users into account). Guess people will always dislike competition. --[[Image:OrgXSignature.jpg]] 13:25, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * As an editor on GWW, I have to say I have never ever seen a link to GuildWiki in an article, and have seen many links to GuildWiki userspace, and never have I seen one be removed. Please provide examples.--Wynthyst 13:32, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree with Wynthyst, I am an active editor on GWW and I have linked to GuildWiki before and they have never been removed. Could you provide examples, as Wynthyst stated -- Shadowphoenix  13:42, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Regardless, we dislike you nubby GuildWarsWikians.. =P. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png]] Warw/Wick 13:48, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Untrue! I only dislike GWW, not GW2W. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png]] Warw/Wick 14:16, 7 April 2008 (UTC)


 * And the big difference between the two is...? --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]]-- (s)talkpage 14:19, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

{{ri}}This is not about who did what, other than whether or not GWW removes links to GuildWiki. I still would like to see examples of where that has occurred. Until then I think the request for a policy to remove GWW links is a bit unwarranted.--Wynthyst 15:03, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I doubt there will be a policy <font color="Blue">RT </B>| <font color="Black">Talk</B>  15:05, 7 April 2008 (UTC)


 * It's userspace. The only rule there is obvious stuff, like NPA, YAV and the likes. Why forbid GWW links? Yes, the number of people here has decreased, but it's better than to have it dead (say, if Gravewit just unplugged it, rather than handed it over to Wikia) --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]]-- (s)talkpage 15:16, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Regarding the original question, I think it is important to distinguish between generic link spam, relevant reference/additiona-info, and personal user links to other wikis. The original question was talking about anons on talkpages, so links to GWW on user pages isn't an issue. I personally haven't actually noticed much posting of links to the GWW on talk pages by anons to tell if they are mostly in the link-spam category or useful/relevant reference category. I think we should just the links purely based on that, independent of whether GWW is being anti-competitive or not. -User:PanSola (talk to the ) 18:05, 7 April 2008 (UTC)


 * {{ec}}Hmm, i seem to have started a massive argument about wether GWW removes guild wiki links or not. That is besides the point. My main question was wether or not we should change GWW links (i beleive we changed them to the guildwiki equivalents for an article from guildwars.com news, so i was wondering wether they were OK to be posted on talkpages). PanSola managed to answer that question with 1 post, so imo there was little need for a debate as to wether i was making unjust assumptions about activities on GWW. However, my resentment for the official wiki largely stems from the fact that this fansite existed well before GWW, and then Anet created an official version and this wiki is not mentioned on any list of fansitse etc. I think that creating a wiki was a fair sign of commitment by the fanbase and Anet somewhat damaged that, perhaps due to the fact that we allow more negative comments about Anet, which they cannot police on an un-official site. Is GWW anti-competitive, of course not, it's pro competetive, but competition in this area is, imho, not a good thing--<font color="Blue">Cobalt </B>| <font color="Green">Talk</B>  18:43, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Going away party for Galie and the frog
I was wondering why the going away party for Galie and the frog ended 12 hours sooner than it was supposed to end?
 * The same reason they started 12 hours early: Anet is used to starting/ending at midnight. It also might have been to make up for the extra events before they were supposed to start. And they supposedly still had the final event, just missed the 3:00 and 6:00 ones.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]<font color="#4682b4">Entrea Sumatae  <font color="#4682b4">[Talk]  22:21, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Profile
Hi, this question is for Entrea Sumatae. I was wondering on your profile, how did you get all the boxs and a picture of you(nice brick wall) and put on your characters/ skills ect.? Thanks alot! Also how did you get the boxs at the top that say all the things that you have achieved?

-Zaroc
 * haha. If you have a question for someone, the best place for it is that person's talk page: User talk:Entrea Sumatae. Also, by clicking on the edit button you can see the source code of the page (and on the bottom are links to any templates used on the page). You can see how pages "work" and copy something if you want. If you copy something though, it's nice to give proper credit back. &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 20:18, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Which is better? Seriously though, is there any difference between them and are there situations where one should be used instead of the other? If not, why have both? :S-- - (<B><font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green"><B>Contribs</B> ) 19:31, 13 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Both have their uses. Generally, substing should be used always when the the inserted thing is something that isn't going to be changed or shouldn't be changed, like your signature. Inclusion is used for repetitive information that might change or the information entered to the template should be easily changeable, such as monster and skill infoboxes. -- [[Image:User Gem sig.png|Gem]] (gem / talk) 10:58, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Account Management and contacting Anet/NCSoft
I have a friend that has bought NF, but he doesnt play anymore. I dont have NF in my account. He offered me his account, because he won't play. How can I switch that NF to my account? Is it possible? Do I have to contact Anet or NCSoft? I have tried to mail them but noone answered me... What is the right email for answering them?
 * No, I'm afraid that's impossible. There is no way to merge two existing accounts. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 10:49, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

But does anyone knows how I can mail Anet/NCSoft?
 * Sure, fill out a support ticket. There you go. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 08:22, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

 * It is also possible that Anet will send their hired goons round, as your friend giving away his account and you then using it is probably illegal, as the EULA states that players don't own their accounts and the stuff on them, Anet does (hence the ban on gold selling), all a player buys is the right to lease an account from Anet. Which overall means there is no chance of them doing you such a favor.

There's one green with the gauntlet skin, and curses requirement though: Villnar's Glove.

AB question
Have noticed a recent trend lately while in AB...players joining guilds just to AB and somehow killing off their characters themselves (over and over again) to give the other side more points. Is there anything that can be done to stop this? It's very frustrating (specially if monking) and takes away from game play. The last AB match hadn't even started yet and the other side had 12 points before we were even out of the gate. Is there a place to report the names/nicks of the players or is this just part of the game? Thanks for listening &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dawn (contribs).

Minipets
I saw this: Due to the massive duping, dupers who bought rare minis with duped items were banned. Therefore, many rare minis were deleted from the game permanently; it is unknown how many minipets were deleted from the game this way. what is duping? in minipets article is an image with a minipet and his level :S how?
 * Duping refers to an exploit that was used a while ago to duplicate items; people were running around with 1750 Armbrace of Truths. The minipet with a level is just a glitch that occurs now and then; minipets actually always have levels, but they're usually hidden. Sometimes it's not is all. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 14:08, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Minipets are also treated as allies of the owner when it comes to Horns of the Ox, and can also be knocked down by Earthquake. I'm pretty sure they count as allies with infinite health and infinite regen and are untargettable, but it would be interesting to test how they interact with other things (like Star Burst, Healing Burst, Flame Djinn's Haste, Rejuvenation/Agony, DEFINITELY Leadership/Leader's Comfort, etc) --Gimmethegepgun 19:16, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Rejuvenation seems to be a no since it only heals people who are hurt. Also Preservation was a no-go and it works on people that aren't hurt. Healing Burst WAS affected though, as was Leader's Comfort. Leadership using "Charge!" was NOT affected however --Gimmethegepgun 19:34, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

ok, but how can I see my minipet's level? and why it is called "doll" in image?
 * repeatedly bring you minipet out and put it away. Eventually it will come out with a party size or level. (putting it away again then removes the party/level) <font color=#555>Ezekiel <font color=#AAA> [Talk]  09:38, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

He tends to put raven in his name.The first name i met him on was Raven Leafarrow.I love your game and my brother really loves it please help us.An example of what he said was one time "um.....I'm inside you" i said "what do you mean ",he said " my characters inside yours"check your records we were in factions campaign.Theres others that was the first time.I told people and now he says hes going to get me and my i dont no what he means by that but im worried can he find out were i live from my ip address.He knows i live in Orlando florida.Well please help me thank you.

Khamu's Trivia
I couldnt find where else to post this. im guessing not too many people care about the trivia.

I came across something interesting doing some research. The ancient Egyptians called themselves Kam or Kam-Au meaning Black people or Black God-people. I can only imagine this being left out due to racial issues and over-sensitive people but it adds more value to the character. Could it be that this was the intention? Or coincidence that he is a black man from an Egyptian like culture.

Joining other parties while out on a quest/mission
The other day I was doing a quest by myself. I grabbed my heros and a few henchmen and started off on my quest/mission (can't remember what it was). About half way though it all of a sudden I started getting messages from someone saying "Hey NOOB you're messing me up. I'm going for masters" .. I ignored it figuring it was some NPC talk and continued what I was doing, when he started messaging me again. He pinged me on the map and yelled at me to join him. I was then surprised to realise that there were a whole bunch of people with me besides my party. The end video scene showed him being knighted and given a title.

So what was that? Was he some sort of ally? How do you do ally quests? How did I end up with this guy and his group? What exactly is masters? How do you go for it? And if he got knighted/titled, did I get one too? Thanks. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by Khukri (contribs).

 * The only mission I recall with an ending like that is D'Alessio Seaboard (not exactly knighting but a similar ceremony), but it's in Prophecies so it's got the mission/bonus rewards instead of standard/expert/master. &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 15:32, 13 May 2008 (UTC)


 * And in proph there are no two party missions. However it is possible that some people refer to bonus in proph as 'masters'. The fact that "there were a whole bunch of people with me besides my party" makes me think it could possibly be Gates of Kryta where there are 20-odd white mantle NPCs at the end part. It is possible you accidentally invited a human player (who was standing with henchies, maybe?)--[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (<B><font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green"><B>Contribs</B> ) 12:58, 15 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Must be vice-versa, the other guy must have invited him. Otherwise he wouldn't be the one who got knighted. --[[Image:OrgXSignature.jpg]] 13:17, 15 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Ah, good point, you must have inadvertantly accepted an invite from someone elses party who were going on a mission--[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (<B><font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green"><B>Contribs</B> ) 13:20, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Koss's Skills
My Koss has the "I Will Avenge You!" skill, and my wife's does not. I've been trying to help her acquire it, but I don't know where, or how I got it. I've looked on the GuildWiki but I can't find any reference to Koss receiving that skill at all. I would be grateful for any assistance. MostlyRock 22:58, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Are you sure you didn't have the skill unlocked previously and then manually gave it to Koss? "IWAY!" is a Prophecies skill, meaning Koss wouldn't start out with the skill and it'd only be obtainable if your wife's account has Prophecies linked to it. --<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="Steelblue">Shadowcrest  23:02, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Heroes use any skill that is unlocked on your account. Koss doesn't need to get the skill, you just need to have it unlocked via a Skill Trainer or Balthazar Rewards.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]<font color="#4682b4">Entrea  <font color="#4682b4">[Talk]  23:23, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, that makes so much more sense now. MostlyRock 23:49, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Elite Skill
Why can you only have one elite skill in your skill bar at a time? Zaroc The Evil 22:16, 15 May 2008 (UTC)Zaroc
 * Because elite skills are generally more powerfull than normal skills. --Rotfl Mao 22:34, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * It's just the way the game works - read the manual or the game mechanincs or Elite Skills sections on this wiki for more info--[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (<B><font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green"><B>Contribs</B> ) 13:24, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Skill Points - Save them or spend them?
Should you be spending your skill points on buying skills or should you be saving them? I've got 53 skill points (out of a total of 56 = 3 spent) and 6 heros all of different professions. Should I be spending my points on skiling them up (and myself) or not. How many skill points do I need for me personally.

Besides allowing you to buy other skills, what does having skill points do for you?
 * Umm I always have a abundance of points, only time I have ever run out is on a brand new character at level 2-4, so maybe I'm not the best to answer but unless you are going to go out and spend a bunch of money just to unlock skills for characters then their probaly is no reason. For heroes grab up all the hero skill trainer npcs possible rather then spending your money/points, and if you PVP even a little spend the faction unlocking skills for their use.--[[Image:AlariSig.png]] 01:21, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Skill points can be used later on to buy Consumables. I wouldn't worry saving them up or running out. You can always get more pretty easily. Most people find they have an abundance.&mdash;<font color=#ff44aa>♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 01:24, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Alari mentioned these, but didn't link them: Hero skill trainers. You can get a lot of useful skills from them by spending Hero skill points instead, then using normal skill points to buy anything else you want.  And like Jedi said, later in the game you'll get to where you have too many skill points, so don't worry too much about saving them right now.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 01:40, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, don't save or spend. Use them as you need them, but attempting to spend them all is a waste of money and saving them will make your skill availability kill your character's usefulness.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]<font color="#4682b4">Entrea  <font color="#4682b4">[Talk]  03:22, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Monument of Fellowship
GuildWiki says there is a separate statue for the Phoenix in the Monument of Fellowship. I captured the Phoenix after beating Shiro again, but it did not provide the ability to add another statue. Is this because I already have the Black Moa and standard Companion statue? &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.48.4.132 (contribs).
 * You need to level it to level 20, and you have to capture it, and not one of your heroes. It's all in the Monument of Fellowship article. &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 18:32, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Energy recovery and Armor
Greetings,

I would like to know what I can add to plain maximum armor to increase my energy recovery? I built my Elemental around energy storage and people get very upset when I tell them I have to recharge. The various attunement skills are of modest help, but in my experience it takes great energy and sometimes exaustion to destroy attacking mobs. Please advise me.

Best Regards,

Holmes Sigerson


 * You can add Radiant Insignias and Attunement Runes to your armor, but generally an Energy Management skill is better. Try Glyph of Lesser Energy, or if you have an elite slot, Elemental Attunement. If you use both Fire/Water/Earth/Air (whatever you like) Attunement and Elemental Attunement, your Blue Bar is near infinite. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage 18:43, 20 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Until you run up against Wind Riders or anything else with enchant removal, then your blue bar is pretty much dead. I used to rely on dual attunements, until Anet started giving enchant removal to nearly every other monster in the game in a half-assed attempt to stop bot farmers.  No, I don't use attunements anymore: Mind Blast is my new energy management.  Combined with low-cost skills like Fireball, Flame Burst, or Liquid Flame, I rarely dip below 50 energy.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 18:55, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
