Darn. I got that Torch with my second or third key..don't remember which. If you have a character that gets good drops in open-world, use that character to open Black Lion chests. They say there is no such thing as a lucky character...but... I am not so sure.

I have a lot of fun with my Core Ranger, Warrior, and Guardian.

Yay! I got my gloves!!!!!!!!!!! What I did was I got disgusted with my two lowbies and fired up my level 80 Guardian who has always gotten good drops. She is a Norn, so I took her to Wayfarer and beat up all the sub level 10s I came across. I enjoyed myself because I changed up her build a bit. As I was beating the snot out of everything I could beat the snot out of, I experimented with the spirit weapons. And, I got the Glove Box!!!!!!!!!! Whew. It does drop people. Winners are losers who try one more time :)

Thank you Urud :) Queensdale bandit cave here I come :) oh, err, should I kill off my character and start fresh again? Probably should...mutter, mutter, stupid kitty. Thank you Urud :)

It's a low drop rate. Help! Many questions about this. (1) I had a glove box drop yet had not equipped it...could not figure out why until I suddenly remembered the reason. I am thinking this was the first box that dropped for me. It dropped and I had opened it while fighting my diabetic kitty for my Mexican Pizza. He is newly diagnosed and still at the stage where he HAS to eat everything his little nose says is edible. I was trying to get him away from the box while trying to pick the glove. I was in a hurry and for some very dumb reason thought they were all for my armor weight, just different designs. Got the "poor starving" kitty off the desk and tried to equip the gloves....could not do so.I had chosen Light instead of Heavy. Figuring I would get another shot at the right gloves I went on my merry way. Nope. I hear that extra boxes will drop...that is not my experience. I even made a second brand new character, jacked-up my magic find, and redid the map completion in all newbie zones. Slicing and dicing anything that got in my way.... I ended up with a lot of crafting stuff and even more junk items but no boxes and no gloves. I then got the original character with whom I did the achievements. I jacked up her magic find and sliced and diced all living creatures like a homicidal maniac for about an hour so with the dismaying reality of no boxes and no gloves. What am I doing wrong???? Should I send in a ticket? Sigh. I should have let the silly cat dive into my Mexican Pizza and actually paid attention to the choices in front of me.

Why shouldn't I get rewards for map completion when I did it on 9 characters in the past?Why shouldn't I get rewards for reaching level 10, when I did so over 10 times in the past? The only reason they don't retroactively gave out the rewards is to get some people more character slots.In other words: It's merely a cheap strategy to get more money. ...snip...You can get them when your character is downleveled...snip Thank you for stating this. I somehow missed equipping the gloves, but did open the box. I went back and made a new, new character, but, by the time I got her to level 11, nothing had dropped for me. ..so I came to the forums looking for help. I will keep at it then because I like this character and do not want to delete. Thank you.

I have not looked at pricing, but the scribe backpacks are in the trading post and sometimes they drop with a black lion key.

I am having fun with this. It has been a long time since I have played as a true lowbie. I usually use birthday scrolls and crafting to hit level 80, only then do I sally forth out into the world. Grin. For these new achievements, I am wearing level appropriate armor and weaponry. I am not flipping through my wardrobe, and I am using my Skyscale as little as possible...however, because I forgot how it feels to run slow, and, I was never good at getting to some vistas...my Raptor and Springer are getting a workout :) I am also taking my time and enjoying it. Thank you, ArenaNet. Edit-I also deleted a character and made another for this merry achievement chase. A true lowbie.

Focus on skill usage? Kitten..I would never get out of Kessex :)

WOW!!!!!! This is long but worth listening to...too long matter of fact. However, what I listened to, was so good I plan to listen to the entirety sometime today. Thank you for this.

Hmm..are there any computer single player games? If so, which would you suggest?

I am a full-time caretaker for my mom who has Dementia. I know exactly where you are coming from.

The game needs what players have consistently begged for. We need new Elite specs..even if it leads to power creep..power creep can be fixed when you get the data on what is power creeping. Shoot, they, Anet, should test the specs internally. Put their most skilled and cunning employees in the PVP testing environment, load them up with the new elite specs, and dare them to break something...find out how much powercreep they can get out of the specs. Dangle an extra paid day off for those who find a way of breaking something. New hair and faces, horns and beards....we want them !!! Make the story path dungeons soloable. Give the living story a difficulty slider Some of us like the story, others like being challenged. Please Anet, this is a wonderful game. Please, do not ruin it by mucking around with making another game until this one is back on its feet...then you can muck :)

Hands down the best Love your sig, Hardrider. Justice server here holds up torch Union (onion) here /em TorchI know it's returned, but it just doesn't feel the same ne more. Still watching it though in case it changes :D I know what you mean. I downloaded it, made a character, but my heart just is not into it anymore. I think it was because I was restricted to scrappers and Brutes as I played solo. In this game, I can play every Profession solo and truly enjoy it.

Hands down the best Love your sig, Hardrider. Justice server here holds up torchDarn, instead of holding up a torch, go play the game. That is what my silly better half is doing right now.

Everyone here has said something I agree with. Daddicus.6128 hit the nail on the head for me. ....snip.... "First is more achievements available for less-than-perfect gamers. It is impossible for anyone without top skills to get radiant (or hellfire) skins for all pieces. The vast majority of achievements that I don't already have are unattainable by me; I'm just not good enough to complete them." ....unsnip.... I would roll over with sheer delight if this became so. I too am a sorry gamer, but I very much enjoy what content there is in the game that I can do. Grin. I would pay real money or a lot of gold to hire someone to aid me in the hard stuffs...not do it for me, just help.

Xelvas.5784 is Superior Sigil Of Frenzy sort what you are looking for? It recharges all equipped skills by 2 seconds upon killing the enemy.

Grrrrrr.....I think my local gamestop has them in stock and I have not heard a word from this "Place" I bought the presells from. I am not positive I like this "Galactic Toys & Collectibles" site. With my luck I probably got scammed...oh well, live and learn. Lisa-Calling Gamestop when they open.

I preordered them from a site called Galactic Toys & Collectibles. I googled the company and they seem very legit. This is going to be a Christmas present to me from my cats :)

Hi Hard Rider. About your sig. City Of Heroes is alive and doing well. My better half plays it more than he plays this game.

BOOOO...I tried to preorder all three and Gamestop has sold all their preorders for Aurene and Rytloc !!!!! Are there going to be more preorders for these??? So very disappointed.

Usually you make up for the lack of talent with practice. You have never had a physical disability have you? I had brain damage at birth. As a result, my hand/eye coordination is not that swift..which is why I like this game. It keeps me sharp. But, sharp for me, is not how other people define sharp. I can practice every day for weeks and I still will not be able to complete semi-hard jumping puzzles...trust me I tried. Are you saying not having a disability makes you talented? Disabilities are bad and i feel bad for ppl that have to live with them but i personally wouldnt want the game balanced around the skill lvl of ppl with disabilities. Not to sound like a prick, i believe the game should have something for everyone but i dont think the game should be balanced around say ppl with less fingers or with effectively one arm (like i was when i broke my arm 2 years ago). Yes it would allow me to experience all of the content and have fun with it maybe but it would turn off alot more ppl. For better or for worse ppl with disabilities are a minority and therefor should be the main focus of a game which never revolved around them to begin with.Which is why we need difficulty sliders :)

Hello. I know nothing will, or can, be done about this, but it never hurts to ask. I belong to a guild that I created in the early years before guild halls. I have all the trappings of a guild, emblem, bank etc. But I do not have commendations so I cannot get the guild cape. Is there any way the cape could be added to the Guild Armorer??? Maybe for triple the gold required? Well, I asked. Thank you for reading this and not laughing too hardLisa.

True that. This world is a mixed bag of nuts.
