Returned: Where to find a "returners guide"?
I've returned after not playing for a long while, i also purchased nightfall as my housemate has it (and it all now magicly works under linux!) but apart from reading the "beginineers guide", what could i read to get up quickly upto date on whats new, whats changed, whats different and whats the most important bits?. Im looking basicly to learn quickly about heroes, and anything else that might of changed with nightfall, and the last few months too.

Thanks, --90.195.63.205 17:22, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

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) Thanks for the help guys. THat was really nice. NightAngel 12:11, 22 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)
