Beginner's Guide - How to do Auric Basin Meta Event Properly

This guide is intended for use by newbies trying to do one of the finest Meta events in Guild Wars 2 - - and coincidentally also the best gold-making event with the least effort - - Auric Basin Meta event.

I will lay out a few basic rules :


  • All the octovines have to be killed  within 2 minutes of each other

When one of the octovines is killed, all the others have to be killed within 2 minutes or the octovines will regenerate about a half of their health. It's not a big deal if it happens once, but if it happens twice there's a big chance your map isn't coordinated enough.


  •  Breachers > Frogs > Octo.

This is the law of Auric Basin you will hear every time you do the Meta event. In short, you have to, in order, kill the breachers(wurm-like mordrem who will summon even more mordrems), frogs(elite mordrem flopper - - they are annoying because they can kill large groups of people when burning octo), and octo(burning phase, you burn only when breachers and frogs are all dead).


  • Your job as an armor.

You might have decided to take up the role of armor by entering the Exalted Armor. If so, you need to know what armor needs to do :
   - Push trigger blossoms away from people.
   - Stun frogs and rollers (Mordrem arrowheads or bone breakers).
   - Use skill 2 on octovines during burn phase so it takes more damage.


  • Prioritize golden armors over blue.

You might have noticed that in Auric Basin there are two types of armors : the golden, cool one and the blue and shoddy one. You get the blue armors freely, but golden armors are far, far better than their blue counterparts. You get golden armors from completing challenges in each lane's outpost.


  • When waiting for other lanes to finish, reduce octo's slime stacks to 5. Also, stop attacking octovines at 10% hp.

Try to reduce the slime stacks in your lane to 5 while waiting for other lanes, so you can quickly kill octo when necessary. Also, try to stop attacking when octo's hp is at 10% or you risk accidentally killing it.

That's all the basic rules in this Meta event. Of course, there are a few more advanced tricks you can employ, but those are the basics from which any newbies can quickly learn on how they can be the most useful in Auric Basin. Thanks for reading!

Tangled Depths Meta Event - An Explanation

Howdy, everyone! This post is to bring you guys, especially the newbies, up-to-date on what should be done on Tangled Depths Meta Event. Basically, the event will have you kill Chak Gerenths (huge Legendary Chak) that will spawn for each lane : Scar, Rata, Nuhoch, and Ogre (Shrek) Lane. All lanes will have what's called as Chak Rush, which is when tons of chaks rush to the cannon at the end of a lane, completely ignoring any players in their way. When the cannon's destroyed, it's an automatic fail for the whole event, not just that specific lane. Scar Lane The simplest lane, your job in this lane is to protect the 4 Charrs humping the Mega-Thumper which will draw the Gerenth out. To do this, you just need to kill every single chak you see. Simple, you see. You can even use whatever skills you want, even those with heavy CCs. Rata Lane The second easiest lane after Scar Lane, this lane will have you chucking balls of ley-line energy. Once the event starts, ley...

Why I Love Guild Wars 2

This is going to be a bit of a rant, but I wanted to share the reason why I love Guild Wars 2 compared to thousands of different MMOs, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. I'm going to describe several reasons why : The unique, amazing painting-like graphic   When your usual MMORPGs have either anime, realistic-looking, or cartoonish art styles, Guild Wars 2 slams the table with a very unique paint-like style. It actually immerses you more than the usual, realistic-looking art style. Actually, I think Guild Wars 2's art style trumps most other MMORPGs with their boring, copy-paste style. Very rewarding exploration Exploration in Guild Wars isn't just unlocking certain parts of the map hidden by the fog. It actually feels like an adventure, something I haven't experienced in any MMORPG since Ultima Online. A hidden cave -- a hidden underwater cave, even -- is always tempting you to come explore inside. And once you do, and after probably extermin...
