    • First Time-ish Playing
    • Hmm a fresh start would be wise for several reasons, primarily:

      - Learning gradually how all this stuff works ;)

      - Being able to afford your equipment (though I guess you could use some tricks with your monk)

      Actually I would disregard this now,especially for new players

       

      Your better bet is to finda guild that is PvP active and to just ask questions, ifthey have good PvP'ers who know the game, they will be ableto work you into teams, and if they can't, find another guild

       

      PvXWiki has become a hive of misinformation and villainy within the community and for a new player, it can be a daunting task rifling through the crap to find the good builds hidden there

       

      I agree with Lonesamurai1, especially for PvP, pvxwiki should be seen as a last resort, or maybe a source of inspiration to mix your own cocktail. Avoid copy/paste, you'll learn nothing.

      It's also a double-edged sword. pvxwiki builds are often overused so, it's a free ticket for your opponent to know what to expect and put together a perfect counter.

      PvP gets stale because too many players run the same builds over and over again...

      Then ArenaNet will ultimately have a few jabs at those skill setups.

      Besides that the choice is yours. I'd recommend you finish a campaign with one character, especially if you only have prophecies since you get quite a bunch of skills virtually for free there. Getting elite skills can be less time consuming too.

      Try different primary/secondary combos too, to find out what suits your taste and play style.

      Remember that the fundamental unit is the group, not the individual. Train with guild/alliance members in your guild hall for PvP.

      As for getting Eye of the North with a char under 20, sure you can, I don't know if it still applies but a while ago they had a system going that boosted lvl 10 and up characters to lvl 20 levels so they could try it out. The first quest if pretty easy and grants you 2 lvl 20 heroes (an elementalist and a monk) and access to maxed out gear in the first outpost.

    • Requesting for 1 Guild Wars serial code.
    • Guild Wars sure is available in Malaysia, a quick Google search returned a few hits about Malaysian guilds being featured on the Guild Wars website, as well as this company www.pcgame.com.my having most boxes in stock (though I'm not sure their prices are that great, RM 149 is close to $45 if I got that right...).

      Not saying you're lying or anything :P though it might be worth looking around a bit more.
