Are you just running around places doing the hearts and events and then story Quests when you are high enoung? Or how are you leveling Also which class?

Im pretty much doing it all. Using leaf people (forget name, light night elf) ranger.
Did some research most said its best farmer.

I got kinda routine I do on new MMO's. I explore, look at all. Learn all can. Use best farmer first. Then when that one hits max lvl. Farm up some gold. Then use gold to fund alts to lvl up. And do best spots only on new alt.

I have pretty much all done in leaf starting area, and the metrica next door starting area. Got all lvl point spots. Hit lvl 20. I have maybe 2 more hearts to do. Few jumping vistas gave up on.

I plan to look around lil more. Find good spots. Then make few grinding profiles for starting area 1-15. After that move to 15+ area.

There are so many events going on I get caught up doing them. Kinda fun. The group ones are a pain so would suggest no grind profiles around them. Would be suicide runs.

Not sure if top gear helps in lower lvl or not with the lower ur lvl spots. Seems no matter how much spend on gear I still feel weak.

When I hit 20 spent all silver had just to gear up.

Other alts tried, guard (think will be ok to bot, but personally dont like to play), mesmer (seems fun but figure not best first max lvl to bot), elem (again was fun, but dont know if good to bot), necro (I did like necro, used staff. But its all aoe ground placements. And bot doesnt do placements yet), hmm what else. I made all but engy and thief. And tried each race. Would lvl up to like 2, delete, make new one.

With ranger using shortbow/long bow. I was contemplating duel axe/longbow. Use axe for close up since has the bounce to next target, and shield while attack. My pet dies way too fast. Need to find new tank pet, or trait pet maybe. Right now I traited crit. Went all precision on gear with precision gems. But at 20 went all power with precision gems to test see how feels. Not sure whats best so just testing. The power gear is tad cheaper then precision gear.

I got in a big guild that gets new people all time. Not my type of guild but figure when start botting full time would be good guild to sell to. Hehe
Playing on dragonborn server.

Hmm anything else? Im at work bored. Lol

Nice, I personally started ranger and mesmer yesterday. Ranger seems to be nice botting char and mesmer char that I personally want to play Really an interesting game. Hopefully we can see your leveling profiles soon, hehe. Really need those

 

[in2fun]

I agree. Why I went ranger first. But the mesmer does look fun to play.

@in2fun Thanks for your input on the game, keep us informed on your experiences so far. I too want to get GW2 since I see a bot was made for it but I had the exact same questions that you had at the beginning of the post. So far it seems that ranger(?) is the best to farm with at the moment? Again, I appreciate the info you have given, and look forward to reading more. Keep up the good work.

 

[in2fun]

I'm not sure if ranger is best or not to be honest. I just went ranger since most things I search say most bots use it. lol. And with it being range, has pet, and medium armor. So figure win win.
Im only lvl 21 atm. Will see how things go as get higher lvl. Might change my mind on what is best to bot by time hit 80. Currently I'm making profiles and got 2 lvl's already just doing that. Havent even left 1-15 area yet lol.

Things I have learned. You can use salvage and pretty much salvage anything. The mats get not worth much, but maybe higher lvl stuff is. Metal type objects salvage to meta, wood to wood, cloth to cloth. So on.
Then with the mats use them at crafting table. Even if dont plan to make anything, just craft something. Got pretty much a whole lvl with just crafting crap pick up. Everything you do gives xp. Exploring, talking to npc's, crafting, events. I'm doing pure pve atm, not a pvp person.

I see there are not many mid lvl profiles out there.. is this like the first GW where everything is instanced to you/your group? if so, maybe dual boxers/vm users can get a group of bots together to farm with.. would make it easier. Also any info on how the tradepost(AH?) works.. I could probably google all this but..meh..

 

[in2fun]

I never played the first GW.
So far (I have not left 1-15 area) EVerything is open to all. I see everyone else.
The AH you can check, buy, post from anywhere. But in order to pick up gold made, or items bought, you need to be next to AH guy. So if bags getting full, right click post on AH. It will have 3 selections on most. The amount most people want to pay, the amount post people sell for, then pick your own. The amount most want is under what it vendors for, will not let you vendor item for under vendor buy price. The amount most sell for (so far again I'm low lvl) is ussually exact price of vendor price after AH cut. Say item sells for 22 to vendor. People sell on ah for 24, says after cut you get 21. So you actually lose 1 copper. But it saves you time trip to vendor to sell off. Or you could just salvage all items and not sell either. With all crafting type items, you can right click and send to stash. Again saves big time on bag space.

Also. The bank, stash, all crafting items, are sharable with all alts. Say you lvl up farming away on mats, but never use. Start new alt. Have him craft it all up and easy xp.
Or deposit gold into bank, log into alt, take out. The gold on each alt is there gold, but you can deposit and withdrawel into bank to share to them.
Have not seen way to actually trade to person, but you can mail to anyone (except to self or alts as of yet). So say someone in guild, or someone in map has item they giving away. You say I want, they mail and its instant, no delay, no wait (assuming will change when gold sellers hit hard).
The game is kinda setup like a free to play type. As in anything extra you have to buy with gems. More bag slots, gems, more bank slots, gems. More char slots, gems. You start out with 5 char slots, 4 bag slots with option for 1 more. Not sure how many can have in bank. But only have 3 rows of space in bank. Fills up fast. The stash for "collectibles" the crafting items, looks unlimited.

At first you will get few 4 slot bags with quest, and easy to get from vendor. My suggestion, save up and buy 8 slot bags from AH. Just as cheap.
Also do research on what weapon you want to use and just buy it from beginning to lvl it up. Most lvl 1 weps sell for around 80 copper. While lvl 3-14 sell for 20 copper. I think cause most want new wep right off bat instead of waiting. The type of weapon you use determines what your first 5 spells will be. The 2nd 5 spells you get over time as collect upgrade points, and lvl.
So with weapon you get 1 spell, as you use it, it unlocks 2, then 3, then 4. so on.

Hmm anything else?

Not like GW1. You are in the world with other players, not just towns/outposts.

Black Lion Trading Company (Black Lion Trading Company - Guild Wars 2 Wiki (GW2W)) is world-wide and you can either fulfill a buy order (a price someone says they will pay for an item), or list yours for a set price. You cannot list anything for less than vendor price. You can purchase from the BLTC anywhere in the world through the interface, but you must pick up your purchases/sales profits from a BLTC representative.

Ha just found limit of collections (crafting items) hit 250 on copper ore. Can not put any more in.
You can access bank through crafting tables also.

Also with crafting the "Craft all" button is freakin awesome. It increases speed as go. So can craft over 100 of something very fast

 

[in2fun]

So far with checking prices of mat. Say item sells for 6 copper, you can salvage it to 1 copper ore, that ore will sell for 2 copper. So not really worth it for profit, unless you are lvling crafting.
From asking guild they all say there is no money in crafting. Just using it for xp, and at max lvl to make legends. Nothing good in it besides max lvl legends. (not sure if they are correct)

 

[Porter]

I just got a my first character on GW2, seems like a pretty incredible world to be in.

Just made a ranger too.

 

[mullerhun]

how bad is players reporting bots?

And how much cpu % does a low specd need?

 

[in2fun]

I dont know how bot reporting is. Never searched.

For resources. I have 2 diablo3's botting. 1 gw2. The gw2 uses more resources then both diablo3's. I do use ISBoxer to manage diablo3.
Settings are all low on gw2.
I havent been playing gw2 long and still low lvl. Never heard people complain about bots, and never see gold seller spam. So maybe hasnt hit hard yet.

 

[ChuckyEgg]

I thank all the people who have posted in here with useful info. Some useful facts I have noted and they will make my 2nd visit to the GW2 world (last time was the 1st week) a lot easier than going in having forgotten everything

I've got an engineer (lvl2) and a Necromanver (lvl 7), but seeing as a Ranger seems to be favoured as a bot farmer, I'll now make one of those. And now for the difficult bit, the name???

 

[in2fun]

To me ranger would be best bot. But from doing lil research on bot complaints from people. I'm seeing a trend. All of them are towards ranger bot's. So I think people are relating bot = ranger.
So from iuser saying guard is best. I'm trying them out now. For 1, if better then ok. And for 2, I dont want to be seen as a bot.

Just something to keep in mind.
