Complete Guide to Gearing in Guild Wars 2

Great guide.

I needed this

Excellent tutorial, with everything changing so much lately in Guild Wars 2, as a returning player and trying to bring some new players with me. This is a fantastic resource!

Excellent video. Is it possible there’s a spreadsheet that summarizes these points?

Excellent summary. You covered a lot in this video! Just a note that putting an expensive rune into karma armor isn't as bad as it used to be, now that you can easily get upgrade extractors from the Wizard's Vault.

Anet should just make it easier to get prefixes. Make it all selectable I say. It's a pain to get viper

was there a jumping puzzle for map currency somewhere? (not borea marches)

What are the skiins you used in the video? :))

I would advise against crafting ascended. The materials are much better used elsewhere and other ways are way cheaper and maybe even faster. Especially with wizard vault.

The wvw robot has killed exotic crafting. Unless it's for a skin, really don't buy exotics off the TP. For new players, this will save a ton of gold

Ascended armour & weapons just be patent & grind all strikes - convert green to blue shards & buy ascended from eye of the north shard vendor. Takes about a month (or less if you get an ascended box drop). If you are lucky with drops but don't get Berserk when you want Harriers, just stat swop in the mystic forge (recipe on the wiki)

Note, full ascended is only needed for level 3 & 4 fractals - so a month for full set when you already have exotics is fine for all other content

To be honest. The best guide.

Exactly what I needed. I introduced the game to a few friends a few weeks ago and they finally hit level 80 and are in need of gear so we can start doing content.
Thanks Connor!
