I really like how you discourage newer players from using marker packs for exploration. It brings me back to the first time I made a character and was just randomly exploring the zones in gw2 and suddenly coming across various dynamic event chains.

Excellent video. I’ve been playing for three years and this may be the most helpful video I’ve seen.❤

Very nice video, I've been playing for years and learned about a couple sites I hadn't used before.

Been playing GW-2 since January-2022 and never heard of addons. This video is awesome just by talking about Blish HUD. Thumbs up!

I totally agree with your stance on Fast Farming. I would add that trying to find out how the site arrives at the valuations it does really helps with understanding the market dynamics. In your example of Charged Quartz, the prices are often inflated by high value, but low velocity items - in other terms, things that are so rarely sold that the market did not have the chance to arrive at the "real" equilibrium price. When these prices are then scarped by Fast Farming, they make the crafting ingredients for those items seem super valuable, even though there's nowhere near enough trades happening at that price point for it to be viable. Another thing is making sure one understands time gates for currencies and trade - you can't assume your 1.000.000 Karma will give you ~750 gold because you can't just buy the 140 Antique Summoning Stones needed for that in one go, since those are limited to one purchase weekly; but that's a conclusion you could arrive at if you just took at quick look at Fast Farming's Karma conversion page.

You alway make a Good content really useful

one of favorite addon i cant life without is gw2 radial, its a simple radial menu for mounts and makes it much faster to mount up if you want to switch arround your mount often

I would add Guildjen as a good option for wvw/pvp builds too

Hey Abree an idea for another video is a WvW guide from the point of view of someone going in specifically (and only) for a legendary. You could talk about the menu that opens, which map(s) to join, following a zerg vs. roaming, best places/ways of completing the dailies, etc. Purely for people that dislike or are not interested in pvp. I have a 10 year old character and I started WvW for the first time as it's my last item I need for my first legendary (besides necklace), I have NO IDEA what I'm doing the entire time. Even in a zerg, I'm just wandering around with the commander, trying to tag anything in the general area so I can hopefully get participation. I can understand if you're hesitant, though, if we maybe are getting any sort of WvW changes soon(TM).

Hello. I am using the Universal Search package. It gives me the module code, but where do I go with that code?

another great video to link new players so i don't have to type my hands off in twitch chat.

The gw2 addon manager is good too

Hardstuck might also be a good place to look for pve builds, especially since they've added low intensity builds for newer players or people with disability issues. One thing I struggle with as a player is inventory management, because so much random stuff piles up and I don't know what to do with all of it. A future video on proper inventory management could be nice.

i was just looking for something like these lol

when i first started playing gw2 2 things made me buy this game : 1. Necromancer 2. the trading post

Does taco work with steam version?

Hello, im a new player, i am looking for something like weak auras in wow. Does blish provide a module like this? :)

will Blish HUD make you get banned? its a somewhat stupid question only because usually add-ons hack your game in some way, shape, or form

My first comment disappeared from mentioning some other good websites, any way to bring it back?

i remember long time ago there was a mount UI addon, is that addon is dead? i cant remember the name, sry

I was utterly stunned the first time I used Taco. Such a small program that you open for the first time and boom, it's showing you paths from you to your objectives or exploration in real time, no matter how much you move your camera or teleport around. Maybe it's simpler than I think--I have no programming skill at all--but it seems insanely technically skillful for a free add-on.

So.. do you get kicked from parties for not using optimized builds

The price of mystic coins = nice 😂

very useful information. The add-on that you didn't mention is an add-on that tracks Legendary Bounties as they pop up. One may not exist. I'm trying to save time by not having to port from location to location looking for a Leg on the bounty boards. If you, or someone watching this video, know of a way to do that, it would be very helpful. Thanks.

My favorite part was AHHHHHHHHHHH Stop Spying On Me Mamey

How do you integrate arcdps into blish?

5:05 Okay. Hear me out: The only Blishhud module you need is "UnderTheSea" (or similar). Best module 11/10. Trust me.

Not to do with farming or better dps, I'd throw in Wardrobe Unlock Analyser site. There's nothing worse than using a Guaranteed Wardrobe, Weapon or Armour Unlock from a Black Lion Chest and having it unlock something you could have easily and cheaply crafted instead of a gem store item.

Blish HUD uses 20% more of GPU than TacO So if u have a low-end PC or laptop don't use it *************************************** Edit: I found a solution for the GPU usage if any1 faced the same problem Go to Overlay Setting in Blish HUD and under the graphics settings make the frame limiter to (locked to 30 fps) instead of (locked to 90 fps)

"Extract the ZIP to a folder" Launch Blish HUD.exe" Nothing happens. Now I remember why I hate trying new games.

I mean not that metabattle is good for pvp or wvw either... its mostly for open world honestly

I disagree on map exploration if you want to know the most memorable memories you will make with out add-ons finding everything its where is this point of interest time to google it o its on the other side of the map under the water going throw a underwater cave to get to it or something like that. for a place you will never see in the game again. time to take a screen shot if not you just wasted lots of time to find it. or the fun of having a boss that can more or less one shot you right in the way of a jumping puzzle to get to a map. o the memories. sometimes it feels like the world was designed by a sadist. but on the other hand each zone has very fun things to do in it and you will never see it all. but that is with the events in the zone not with map exploration. just my personal opinion from experience. but its all in what you like there are a lot of hidden nooks and crannies that are hard to find so you do feel like not most people have been hear before unless they where hardcore on this game. this is one of those games that swings hard one way and hard the other way. somethings you will love and other things you will straight up hate. one minute its all about the jumping puzzles next its about mindlessly grinding in fractals in the next its about pvp in the next its about map exploration in the next its about mastery. its all mostly horizontal progression the problem with this game is it may not work well with friends example your friends may love the jumping puzzles and you hate them with a passion. or you like doing dungeons and your friends like doing fractals better. you see the problem. its a game that works against itself because it doesn't have one path of progression every-time you do something new you more or less half to find new friends. it can be very off-putting for anti-social people that like to keep a close group of the same friends. you really have to open yourself up to people to play this game and have fun. witch most gamers are different to your everyday joe in some way shape or form witch can make it hard to find friends some times especially if you're more moderately antisocial. its a love hate thing for me with this game its my new wow now days though. because its better quality all around than wow. it would not be if they where both sub based though. then wow would win by a hair. so in short its payment plan does not need to change. its something is all I can say. you have to try everything before you come to weather its good or bad.
