Oldschool Weapon Guide - Guild Wars 1

[@AVCaius]

Thanks a lot for your video Peter, it gives a pretty good overview of the weapons on Gw, at least for me having 3k hours on the game but a relatively limited knowledge of the subtleties of the weapon and drop system. The insertion of contextualization and story around the drop of some items is very nice! Behind drops, weapons, hours of gameplay, farming, there are memories, emotions, a story, lots of things to tell, which give meaning to this adventure that binds players together. On these beautiful words, you could follow up with a video about your most beautiful drops, or the most insane drops you have seen in game, or about epic stories about collectors, past or still active. Another topic that interests me is the estimation and distribution of wealth in game. Using common thinking categories to apply to the game. I have no idea how much money is in circulation, how much wealth is distributed, past and present. What does it mean to be rich in the game? An estimation by the stock of rare items seems obvious, but do players still do it regularly on a very old game? On the social/community aspect, you mention Gw legacy, discord, is it the main space for discussion and exchange about the game, precisely where the drop evaluations take place. It is well known that the vitality of a game depends on the number and density of networks and interaction spaces between players. I don't know how many players are still active on gw1, but the exchange of rare drops contributes strongly to the connection between players i imagine In Kamadan, we see a lot of selling of virtual currency in real currency, how important is this in the game? Are there any buyers? The currency rate doesn't seem to be very high, you can get a lot of currency in the game with little real money (that was my impression, but then again I might be wrong), which seems logical to me compared to the number of potential buyers (I confess my lack of expertise on the subject, some insights would be welcome). If you want to make a video about these topics of money creation and destruction, wealth distribution, a kind of topography of the players' possessions, according to your skills and your possible interest, I would be delighted!

All of the points are great and i would love to see a video on these topics

[@QQEI2]

Overall wealth is impossible to determine for Guild Wars since there are so many lost accounts with extremely valuable items and ultimately prices for Ectos, Armbraces, weapons, etc. is in the eye of the beholder. Trading IRL money for gold and other stuff is against games EULA and I would never pay attention to them, block and report the accounts. They get the money through bots and you could be banned for violating EULA.

[@AVCaius]

@@QQEI2 Thanks for your response ! So the question is not to determine precisely wealth of all accounts but at least actives accounts in the game. Or an historic perspective about evolution in the game on these topics :) If you can’t have an optimal response, look for a second best, but it’s a suggestion. If it’s too hard, many others topics can be interesting to address to the game.

I was just wishing for something like this today (finishing off Tyrian/Canthan skill hunter)!

[@next_lvl_]

This guide is a godsend. Informative and straight to the point. Thank you so much for your time and effort!!!

[@Rinsii-y6k]

Great video Peter, Thanks for taking the time to make it.

[@dorianb2070]

Great vid! Glad I voted on this in the last poll haha. I was thinking about this during the video and it'd be neat to do a collector showcase video where people show off their favorite items and we get to know the approx value or value they paid as well as why it's priced. It'd be more for fun than for information. My favorite thing to ask old timer players as a returning player is "what is your favorite item that you have". I had one guy show me a collection of 7 perfect 2020 wands and tell me about them then thank me for listening lol he was very nice. I think people like the idea of talking about their collections. Maybe there's some legacy thread somewhere, but I'm more a video while I eat type of person :D Idk, I'd enjoy that and I think that's what Alexandre V was kinda getting at? I've read people talking about specific one of a kind weapons on GW legacy before and they all just seem to know about the weapon and the collector but no picture or info is offered. Or the link to the picture has long expired. Might be fun to have some back story on those well known items.

sure It'd be fun, find me the legacy thread and I'll make the vid, deal? :D

[@EmissaryOfSmeagol]

Very comprehensive and informative.

[@Boom3120]

Nice greatly explained vid! I love OS Weapons

[@MaybeIkbal]

i do have a Axe Q7 3 Mods in my chest, couldnt say when, and how i got it, she is there atleast 10 years ago (sadly not perfect). For the Q8, i dropped few months ago, almost the same day a sword and a bow. (i didnt see a bow in your exemple). Dropped on prophecies, in the jungle, during a mission, one on a boss, the other one on a chest (not sure 100%) i tried to sold them but no one care ^^

[@ash0787]

I farmed a couple of interesting items, wondered if you could guess how much it would be worth ? gold Celestial Hammer req 9 15^50 dmg +19% vs ogres. gold Ornate shield req 10 tactics armor +10 vs plants ( urgoz sc ? ) reduce deepwound 20%. . Theres also a sword I had for a long time - gold zealous plagueborn sword req 9 15^50 health +29.

they arent worth much imo, few ectos maybe if u find a buyer

[@frankycobra]

very clever work ; thanks Peter

[@elizabethsanchez1731]

Thank you so much Peter! Excellent work! Halloween is comming, PLEASE make a guide for the missions and quest you can get during festival! I heard you can get survivor title by farming skelletons?

Thx. I think i do have one from previous years: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qniQh5d8Yratnas

[@hundun5604]

1:03 🤨Your inventory bag is quite large. 10:15 I actually have one from that list, but only just one.😉

[@luisquesada2473]

Thank you so much for the video man. I’ve come back to the game after like 14 years, and I couldn’t really get it until I saw your video. This should be on wiki! Also, if u don’t mind I got a question. What about non-OS weapons ? 😅, is there a list of which weapons are rare skin and are expensive ? I have seen for example that Bone Dragon Staffs are very expensive even if they are q10+. Anyways, thanks for everything !

thx for the kind words! i dont have a non-os vid yet, but actually now as you mentioned it, this could be another great topic! feel free to share the vid on wiki ^^

[@50whatnomadtravelnursemtb5]

I had a few req 7 gold swords and a bunch of the double attribute shields like -2 stance -3 while enchanted, I collected the tower shields. But I sold them long ago :(

[@transit921]

[@Lino797]

[@puo2123]

[@Oberon621]
