Zlater.6789 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Ok so I've been playing for a while, but I never liked wvw. I still don't, but I still have to do it for gifts of battle and wvw infusions. As far as I can tell the most efficient method is to get your participation really high by running around capping random camps and stuff, then just afk at the base until you need to refresh participation. Is this really all there is to it, or is there more? Is there a more efficient way to farm badges, I feel like I'm missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Pj.2193 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I guess I would ask what your definition of efficient is.A). Least effort possible and doing other things on a different computer/homework? (Which was your example)B. )quickest way to get badges.Quickest would be to follow a Zerg. One that is relatively successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sovereign.1093 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 you will not like the answer.for efficiency - join the zerg. get on your necro or guard and 111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamurabi.7890 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Maybe you should ask this in the PvE forums because most of the WvW players DON'T play for BoH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spurnshadow.3678 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Go to EB, join a zerg, kill lots of people. Make sure you're actually in the squad in a party of at least 5 and not just tagging along. That makes a huge difference. Play a class/weapons that tags lots of people. Make sure you have glorious reward track (I think that's the one); it gives badges, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FitzChevalerie.1035 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 You don't need badge for gift of battle.And it's kind of odd and a waste to try to get wvw infusions if it's a game mode you despise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, to echo the above posters, join a zerg and ktrain it up. Badges come pretty quick and easy. Also be sure that the first WvW ability points you allocate are Provision mastery and 1 point in gliding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svarty.8019 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Kill guards, treb lake from hills. Those are the best ways to pve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchonWing.9480 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Do dailies. Those give a fair amount and usually fast. You also won't have to do overtime dailies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nostromo.4126 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Sorry to resurrect this old thread, but I didn't want to start a new one just in case. Was wondering if there is any way at all to acquire these fairly easily/quickly, other than playing in WvW & zerging? E.g. currency conversions, player-to-player trading, other non-WvW content, etc. I know there are a couple JPs I can do to get some, but that's a LOT of effort for little return. I mainly solo PvE & just use these to spend 25+ when it comes up as a daily, to complete the three quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burn dh is amazing for this.The little icons with tents are the camps. Know what color you are for the week and flip any that are not your color. If it has a timer it's because it changed hands recently. A camp can be flipped once every 5 min at the quickest.https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/e/e7/Alpine_Borderlands_map.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nostromo.4126 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Thanks, will give it go. What's a 'burn dh' btw? So are those camps usually undefended & you just stand there to claim them, or do you have to kill some NPCs? I generally play a Reaper necro or twin bow ranger in solo PvE, but I can pretty much faceroll most solo content with all exo gear (necro is the only one I ever made an ascended staff for). I have all classes at 80 & could gear them up if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stand in the ring until it completes capture. Sometimes other players will move to defend or steal the capture but not always. If you have an enemy player show up don't be afraid to fight them. Chances are they aren't any better than you. As a necro make them come to you if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archmagus.7249 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Gift of battle has its own reward track. Your gate for the infusions will be the claim tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetoII.3782 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Plant one in the ground, give high nitrogen fertilizer under 24 hour light for 3 months. Then switch to a phosphorus fertilizer for a month while gradually reducing light from 14 to 10 hours a day. Once nearly ripe give water only.

Solanum.6983 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 @"Nostromo.4126"I know you said you didn't really want to but the most efficient way would be to follow a zerg using a class that can easily tag a lot of enemies. If you really don't want to join fights you can just go around fighting sentries (The guards next to the flags) and Try taking on camps by yourself.You'll also get rewarded skirmish chests for playing, You gain pips if your participation is above level 3 that go towards the skirmish chests track, Among other rewards you'll get a chest with selectable option of 20 badges.Also remember to level up "Provisions Master" in the WvW window, when you put enough points into it it gives more badges when you kill a foe.

KeyOrion.9506 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 In order to farm badges. There's no afk or easy fix. You have to be active and commited to battle...and earn them just like everyone else. Anet made it so that you can afk farm the stuff. You earn nothing for not doing the work. Which means for you, it's going to be a grind. Good things come to those who grind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
