Thanks man! Definitely underestimated how time consuming video editing can be, but I did have a blast learning a bunch of tips along the way. Eager to continue to push my skills with future videos. Also, excellent video that you put out earlier on the Celestial content. Was a very nice guide to the new event :)
CamFTW it can be a doozy at times for sure, but it’s a blast learning it all. Putting together a solid video is a great feeling. Thanks man I appreciate it!
@@camftw editing is the longest part of video making. Luckily, this kind of video is relativelt light on editing. Making videos with the boys.... that takes time
Great video, but one note: The Zaishen quests are not random. It is known weeks (months?) In advance when which quest is coming: wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Daily_activities Just like the places Nicholas will be and what he wants: wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Nicholas_the_Traveler/Cycle EDIT: Nicholas Sandford from the first list is not to be confused with Nicholas the Traveler. It's the same character though. But is in the Prophesies Tutorial that is located years before the main game. (I have had 3 characters there for years). The Proph Tut is practically a separate game in the game. A-Net had taken this into account with its own collector's character.
God i miss the days of running. I made so much running people to LA. Had it down to about a 16 minute run. My Drok's accuracy was 60/40 but my time wasn't bad.
There are 10 new pve only elite skills, some of which are VERY strong. On top of that they released new weapons. A fast casting shield amongst other things
Hi CamFTW thanks for your video, I just came back on GW after a 10years break ! First thing I have noticed...INFLATION as hell on the Rune of Vigor !! Can anyone tell me the point of Nicholas Traveler's gifts ? What is the value in there ?
As briefly mentioned in the video the Nick Gifts have exclusive items such as minipets, consumables (very good for record runs of speed clears), and tonics. People will buy the gifts often to try to get more of those items. Welcome back to the game! If you need anything feel free to hit me up.
Super Vigor fluctuates from 40-60k from merchant, sell for -5-10k less if you get a super vig drop (I've gotten 5 recently from chest runs and enemy drops). Nick gifts (or GotT as they are sometimes referred to in Kamadan) sell for 4 ecto each, or you can open them and hope for a rare mini like the Gwen Doll (not the mini Gwen, that's not worth as much as it used to be due to market flooding), Traveller's Walking Stick or Bo Staff, etc, more often you will get things like Rock Candies that help in PVE, Red (3 ecto), Blue (2 ecto), and Green (1 ecto), use them or sell them for ecto for yourself.
easiest way: 1. wait until halloween 2. farm tot bags like crazy 3. buy all tot bags you can find for a cheap price 4. sell all of your bags for a high price
Can you explain remote lockpicking, like done in this video showing chest running? I see TB so I am figuring that is responsible, but Id like to learn how to.
Your assumption was correct, with TB you can set a hotkey to use a LP on a selected chest, which will avoid the confirmation window pop-up and let you open from a distance. It is very high QoL for chest runs!
@@Ilurk247 Toolbox is a third party application that you download and run concurrently with the game. For the remote lockpicking, you can set up a hotkey to use a lockpick on a selected chest and toolbox does the rest. There are some features on toolbox I would recommend avoiding, such as the dialogues, as they are rather invasive and could get you banned. If you use your best judgement on toolbox it has a ton of great tools to improving your quality of life in gw :)
@@camftw ah yeah I have that but haven't used it much and there was some debate about it being a cheat/hack like letting people get obby armor without going through the required quests to get it, just hadn't heard it called TB before. My bro asked me to use it for auto running pcons in a speed clear dungeon. I was just learning the SC and died and got called a leech and a few others were being extremely rude (all wearing the same guild tag which I won't mention here), so I gave up on speed clears and don't really use the tool box. Thanks for the response.
@@funnylad0043 Runescape probably, but you'll be competing with bots who can make gold 40X faster, and don't need to sleep. Next would be WoW but then you have to pay monthly subscription as well and you'll be in the negative more than you'll make. Eve online is the best way to turn ingame money to real life cash, but it's the most boring game you could play and is beyond time consuming. Don't play a game to make real life money, the amount of time you'll have to spend doing soulrending grinding (I'm talking doing nothing but the same thing over and over and over 40 hours a week, every week) just to get your account potentially banned, or to get scammed/ripped off or struggling to find someone to sell to if you don't already have the connections. You are better off spending that time learning how to code, and coding a bot to farm gold, then selling that bot code to people so they can use it. You will make far more money doing this than you ever will farming gold. But I don't even advise this either as its a nonstable money maker, and you will find yourself in the red more often than you will making net postive without the right connections. You will have to spend money to buy an account, then everytime you get caught botting spend 10-20 more dollars on another account. The reason current BIG botters and gold sellers can get away with this is because they are well established and produce enough money from ingame currency to offset the cost of buying new accounts everytime they're banned. tl;dr you'll spend 400+ hours of soulrending grinding, and approx 100$ to only make 10-20 dollars worth of profit. Not worth it.
The best way to get back into it is just to hop in and play. A lot will come back as you get back into it. Also make heavy use of the /wiki function to help with that learning curve ;)
What's crazy is many years ago I found and sold the 1st perfect req 8 tattoo scimitar for 100k + 50e ...... 1 decade later I return to the game and get offered 40e for 5 traveller gifts..... wtf
Unfortunately, I have been having a lot of issues lately with my frame rate tanking which is really frustrating. I've tried reinstalling it many times but no luck, so this is the fix I run for now :/ Always open to suggestions to fix this :)

Gold??? Gw1 is about Platinum! 1k gold = 1P (or k). Just look up the Ryzen 7 7800x3d chip design in comparison to the R9 7900x3d, it's missing 1/3 chips (it just has 2/3), it is about 5he shadowform/the moebiusstrip/the number 8 or 8x8 in skills. Gw1 is platinum Gw2 is gold. How to make k in GW? You go 3 20-30min doa runs and then on average got 1a. Then we exchange 1a for like 100-130e and then you might sell these for K (platinum). These can go from 4k-15k (8-12k on average). Let's say e are 10k ea and let's say you got 100e for 1a. Then going 3 doa runs in 1h gives you a profit (if we don't count the pcons cost) of 1000k And since you are talking about gold so much, this are 1.000.000g in 60mins. But you may also get 130e and you might be able to sell these for 15k ea, which are 1950k (almost 2kk). 1 character can hold 100k and the chest can hold 999k And you can have 26 character slots. Thus in 2x3 runs: 6x doa in 2h with a good team you can max out your chest with 999k and 26 characters with 100k each and still got some e left. Dont do this. Rather have 20 stacks E up one "chest page" or have 60a laying on your main (which is 30x that what I've just talked about). Now check this: If you have lots of a (armbraces or truth), You also might find sb who sells an E-Blade R9 for 45A and within a few days you may be able to sell it for 70A and make 25A profit. Maybe in the beginning that Eblade is just R13 and the price maybe just 15A, but that one can also be flipped to 20A. Just saying.

The sweets and alchohol etc are used to grind titles for GWAMM.

Question: How is the activity in GW1 these days? I'm genuinely planning on starting again, but won't if the PvP areas are empty
PvP: GvG is somewhat active, most else isn't incredibly populated. PvE: You can do it all, still a good population in general.

I'm going to be rich! Thank you sir
The economy of GW1 is now broken. The rune of Superior Vigor costs 100k now. Back in the day when I played it costed 13k.
It scale on the other side of that too. Getting your weekly nick set easily nets you 150-200k gold per week right now.
I think HA zquest makes gold faster of it all. 5 mins = 2zkeys + silver coins. But u must have bigger balth cap to get more then 25 keys.
