User:Entropy3927

=NOTICE= It was my 17th birthday on Sunday and I got a Wii, so I won't be doing much Guild Wars or even GuildWiki for quite some time. (note: only when the baseball game is not on!) Sorry for the inconvenience. (T/C) 21:49, 29 May 2007 (CDT)

=Warning Zomg Warning!=

Lolz! *strafes through exit*

=Welcome= "Entropy is defined as random molecular motion, or as we know it, heat."

Welcome to the User page of Entropy. I started playing Guild Wars in 2006, over the summer vacation from high school. Apparently I have a knack for the game, though, and I have made some rapid progress in the PvE world. Now that I have Factions and Nightfall as well as Prophecies, I have more characters and campaigns than I know what to do with, and there's always "something to do".

Thanks in part to this Wiki, I have a large general knowledge of almost all aspects of Guild Wars, though mostly about Prophecies still. It saddens me that more people don't come here to answer their questions instead of spamming them to the general in-game population. Nearly every question I have ever had was answered after looking it up here.

What I do on GuildWiki
To gauge if you are more new to the Wiki than me: My user ID# is 17165. Not the first and certainly not the last.

I like to roam the Wiki's Recent Changes and edit articles of interest. I also revert vandalism and fix typos when I find them. Basically, I'm a maintenance worker :P. I also use the Wiki as a reference, of course. The Wiki is also home to this userpage, which I like having.

Hm what else? I also give opinions on things, maybe I comment on an article or critique a mission strategy. I also try to help out a bit with research and stuff. And whenever I find bugs or anomalies in the game I try to document them here.

Recently I have also taken to using the Ban and Delete templates. Power to the People(tm).

Lastly I use the Wiki to have fun. Templates for example are a lot of fun. Coding FTW.

Note: When the Wiki is slow I'm probably not on.

Further Note: I am not nearly so active anymore as I used to be, thanks in part to school and also partly because without the Builds section there is much less RC spam than before. Not that that's a bad thing mind you! Just that I have less to watch out for anymore and not as much time or motivation to patrol RC all the time...Now, mostly I just respond to the Talk page and keep an eye on my Watchlist. That's about all.

=Userboxes that don't fit=


 * Kudos to Iluth (iirc) for his cute "I'm a Tiger" gif. Someday I'll make a cleaner, easier to read version.

=Useful Links= These are links that I use all the time. They are mostly for my personal use, for convenience, but feel free to check them out if you wish. :)


 * Category:GuildWiki humor I can never find an easy link to this...

 * Collector Items and You. One of the most useful pages in the whole GuildWiki!
 * Candidates for deletion. Where did I put that Echo Mending build, anyways?
 * Candidates for banning. Hope you're never on here.
 * Profession Guides. It's about time someone tried to re-write these objectively. POSTPONED INDEFINITELY, BECAUSE: lack of interest
 * Guide to Defeating Doppleganger - I think I can clean this one up. CURRENT STATUS: revising, testing the strategies
 * http://pseudomarketing.com/. Just what the name implies. Sick of fraudulent advertising? Then this is the site for people like you.
 * Builds wipe - A piece of history that we can all relate to...
 * Skill Quests - Very Important!

Green Items and other Nice Loot
I've picked up the following "Unique" items, just by random (no farming, didn't buy):


 * 2x Kepkhet's Refuge
 * Galigord's Rod
 * Bortak's Bone Cesta
 * Morgriff's Scepter
 * The Rockmolder
 * Drago's Flatbow
 * Flint's Artifact
 * 2x Vokur's Staff
 * Wroth's Icon
 * Morgriff's Staff
 * 2x Hanjuu's Bludgeoner
 * 2x The Rockbreaker
 * Sanhan's Staff
 * Onwan's Aegis
 * Stolen Sunspear Armor 1 of 5 (?) Acquired

I may have forgotten some greens from Shing Jea or Istan, since those are almost common drops...but then again those are rather pointless and forgettable.

I have also been tempted by Green Farming. So far, I have gotten...


 * 2x Totem Axe

These are some very nice non-Green items I've found...
 * Barbed Fellblade of Warding, max mods and damage, req13. If it was 15^50...heh...
 * Insightful Raven Staff, req9 dom, max mod and damage, HSR all spells 20%, HCT Domination 20%. One sweet item indeed.
 * Mursaat Hornbow of Marksmanship, req9, 17% mod, max damage, 15 hexed. Closest to 15^50 max req9 non-green Hornbow I've ever got.

Miscellaneous achievements

 * I made it to the Second Floor of Tombs using just the Zaishem henchmen! Would have cleared that floor, too, if not for massive overaggro and accidental mob spawns! Grr!
 * Went through Prophecies with my first character as a W/Me, possibly one of the worst profession combinations in the game!
 * Beat Doppleganger on the first try; 10 seconds on second attempt.
 * Reached Team Arenas.
 * Obtained copies of max collector weapons for every linked attribute (bows and staves).
 * Solo-farmed Spiny Seeds, Dessicated Hydra Claws, Bleached Shells, etc.
 * Collected many, many Fiery Dragon Swords, seemingly at random...not counting the crappy ones. (15+, probably)

Perfect Salvage Records

 * Most of the "Shelter" and "Warding" upgrades (+7 to Physical/Elemental)

 * "The Riddle of Steel" inscription (AL+7 to Slashing damage)
 * "I Have The Power!" inscription (+5 energy)
 * "Luck of the Draw" inscription (Physical damage -5, 20% chance)

=The Henchmen Hall of Fame= This page is where I list my achievements using Henchmen and Heroes. I have cleared every mission and bonus in the Prophecies campaign using parties of just henchmen. Working on Factions and Nightfall as well, but progress is slower there due to more time between different missions.

=Characters= This page has all my characters on it. It tracks their progress in the game and other information such as unlocked Heroes, pets, and other things.

=Henchmen and Heroes: My Personal Notes= I have a lot to say about henchmen. Read it here. This section is still under some construction.

=Prophecies Character Quiz= This is from quizfarm.com, search under "guild wars". Thanks User:Phoenix.

90%    Monk     85%     Mesmer     80%     Ranger     70%     Warrior     60%     Elementalist     40%

=From a past life...=

Incase anyone is interested in things I used to do before Guild Wars...here are some things. It's a variant of C+ coding, if you are familiar with the language. Some of these things, I might someday try to convert to Wikicode for the heck of it. ;)


 * User:Entropy/pastlife_sig. This is the code I devised for a "rainbow" signate of sorts. It changes all by itself! It would violate the current GW:SIGN policy but it would be kinda cool to have....
 * User:Entropy/pastlife_virulence. This is Virulence in C+, sans the "If foe is suffering a condition..." and other Guildwars specific things. It's basically a code for a disease. Much fun.

=Notes to Self= :Category:Unique Axes
 * Comment out something like this:
 * To list a category as a link rather than adding a page to that category, do this:

=Hitlist=


 * 1) Cheese Slaya - for cracking WAY too many jokes, and making his own Guiness Book of World Records.
 * 2) Entropy - for publishing this list despire censorship laws
 * 3) Readem - His crimes against humanity are too great to even mention on this page. For example, he once ate an Ice-cream. It was nifty and good. And cold...
 * 4) Gimmethegepgun - Determination to spread bad case of big gun syndrome
 * 5) Example - high vandalism and breaking GW:GARES
