A Thief in Guild Wars 2 is a dangerous entity. They can dish out tremendous damage with their various weapon sets and are maddeningly mobile. Whether it be sword, dagger, pistol, or shortbow, a thief can open up a can of massive damage, disappear into the shadows, and re-emerge to shiv you some more. They […]
There are a total of seven skill challenges in Caledon Forest which will grant you a total of seven skill points. Collecting all seven skill points should take between half an hour to a full hour, depending on your waypoint unlocks and your level.

While such interaction isn’t earth-shattering, it adds another dimension to the gameplay. The second reason is that allows you to have more options available for doing various event tasks. Instead of […]
Once you’ve located the trainer for your profession, interact with them by pressing the default [F] key, and they will give you the option to purchase one of their Trait Manuals. To unlock the first tier of traits you will need to purchase the Adept’s Training Manual. This will allow you to spend up to […]
