Christoph.4952 Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 I would just like to know how somebody gets a mount or tames a new pet and so on. I've looked and looked throughout all these forums and I've found nothing but stuff that doesn't even come close to answering these questions. Its just really irritating that when you are new to the game and you try to find info on things all it says is go to the forums. You go to the forums and there are like thousands of topics and discussions but seems like nothing to help a new player with questions like mine.

The wiki also has a ton of very helpful information. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mounts
PyrateSilly.4710 Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 The 2 sites I use for information are:https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Main_Pagehttp://dulfy.net/When you are in the game, you can type /wiki (space) what you want information on - /wiki mounts - and it will bring up the wiki with that page.
Taelac.7036 Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 To tame pets, have your ranger character walk up to a Juvenile [Animal] and you will get an option to press F to charm the pet, adding it to your collection. Note that there's an oddity where if the pet has been charmed by another ranger and not renamed, you will sometimes still see the charm option, even though it won't work--you can't poach a pet.Being able to access the wiki from inside the game is a huge help. You can also ask in /map chat, though if it's a complex answer or people are busy, you might still get referred to the wiki.

After checking the forums to see if a question has already been answered, you put up your own post!Mounts are part of the mastery system (https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mastery) for the latest expansion, "Path of Fire". The reason there is no instruction to new players is that mounts are not part of the core game and they require doing level 80 expansion content to unlock. However, if you've purchased the PoF expansion, you'll have a free level 80 boost. This will allow you to instantly boost a character to 80 so you can complete the first part of the PoF storyline and unlock the basic raptor mount. Unlocking the other mounts and additional skills for each mount requires playing PoF to gain mastery points and experience (as well as other objectives).The reason this may not be a common forum topic is that unlocking the raptor is literally built right in to the PoF storyline and requires no instruction. But as a new player in the core game, mounts aren't mentioned at all.I hope that answers your question. If you have any more, feel free to ask. GW2 has a good community and we're always glad to help new players!
mercury ranique.2170 Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 indeed, there is a huge wiki. It is hosted by Arenanet, but maintained by players. You can access it here or by typing in game /wiki mount. For more advanced instructions (like jumping puzzles and achievements) http://dulfy.net is very great. Most people asking here for help, have allready searched. But it is not needed.You unlock the first mount when you do the first story mission in Path of Fire. After that you need to first get your mount to gain the canyon jump mastery. Then you can obtain the bunny (in desert highlands) and skimmer (in elonian riverlands). Without it you can't reach the place, and even if you do (cause of a friendly mesmer) it is locked.Once you got either of them to the level 3 mastery, you can get the jackal in the desolation. The last mount is the griffon. It requires the story of PoF to be finished, 250g and a lot of achievements.As for an animal companion. You need be a ranger and find a juvevinile animal in the game world. When you are next to it you get a message to press F to charm it. Keep in mind this does not work for allready charmed animals who follow another ranger (despite the message popping up it doesnt work)
Biff.5312 Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Rather than looking here I'd just google your question. Very often there's a youtube video showing you how to do things. I share your frustration though - there is a lot in this game that you can't reasonably figure out without going online and searching for information.
