Created a Ranger on NightFall. I'm a first to GuildWars. No Online fee is attractive, graphics/sound are kick a$$, story ok, I like so far. I got a few questions that have been bugging me though.
On my skills window (while in town) what are the little yellow arrows pointing up on my skill icons I put on my skill bar? Sometimes there will be one or more. Manuel doesn't say, and I don't remember reading anything on it in the beginning online commentaries.
2nd, With a Ranger we get these spirit skills that allow you to temporarily make 'Wind' spirits and so on. WHAT IN THE WORLD DO THEY DO?? I created one in the heat of battle, and the son of gun just sat and watched us getting hammered?
Also I just today got to level 20 which I believe is the cap on Nightfall. I was reading somewhere about a 20 elite or something? So with enough xp does my Ranger get to be elite? Or is it just added armor or something?
What area is best to find a group to PVE? I'm at 20 and havent grouped once. Me and Koss have been kicking arse regardless though.
Last and most: Where can I find an animal other then a PINK FLAMINGO??? In all my travels I've wanted to find a wild dog or tiger or something to be my Ranger companion. But nothing but FLAMINGOS!!! I found a pig once in south/west ISTAN, I went to town and equiped my charm animal and went back to the same area, but the pig dissappeared. No where to be found... I'de rather get a dog or cat anyhow.
And just a note for beginners, NEVER use a cheap salvage kit for magical weapons! I used one the other day just to see if I could get a good engraving off of a weapon cheap, and before even asking me if it was ok with a pop-up window, It salvaged my weapon into some wood planks and no magical stuff (Ahhhhhh!).
Thanks for any replys or even tips. My screen name is Jack Haydees if you bump into me. I'll prob be on GW2 in the future too. Leave these 15 dollar a month makers to smell my azz. I could see maybe 5 a month for maintanance/releases/bugs/fun stuff... but I pay less then 15 a month for my dial-up.

Have fun and if you see my ingame, give me a holla: Tyr Dominator
1) A yellow arrow pointing up indicate the skill is an Enchantment Spell skill type. A purple arrow pointing down indicate the skill is a Hex Spell skill type. These are used to quickly identify your status. Inexperienced players relies a lot on this, while experienced players can just look at the icon and know what it is.
2) Ranger's Nature Ritual creates a spirit that buff or debuff ALL creatures within the spirit's range. They don't attack or move. You should read more carefully on the skill's description.
3) Elite usually refers to an Elite skill. You can only have one such skill on your skill bar. Except in a few special cases. Elite can also refers to elite armor. Elite armor's properties aren't not superior to normal armor. They just have better looking skin (as in...it has more details on it).
4) Press 'P' and use the party search or just shout it out.
Lastly, please check the wiki before asking any question.
The spirits adds effects such as making your arrows travel faster etc. Hover over the skill and read its description to see what exactly it does.
The "Elite" you're talking about is regarding Elite skills. These are more powerful than normal skills, and captured from a defeated boss by using the Signet of Capture (purchaseable from a skill trainer) while next to its corpse.
Just ask in town for a group and you should find one. You can also try the Party Search feature by pressing "P" when in town.
Pet-wise, as you progress through through the continent, new regions will host new types of creatures. You shouldn't have to wait long now!
Alright! Thanks so much for all the info. I put the WIKI in my favorites (especially for the animals part) I'm thinking about trying to charm a Hyena when I jump on in a minute. I've seen alot of people refer the WIKI which I havent used before now so I'll check that out before askin' questions that have prob been repeated . Also it's a good thing I know that those spirits affect everything now. I usually read those descriptions several times on the skill icons, but to be honest with you, I really don't know sometimes what some of the words mean in them. Hopefully GW2 is a more 'action' based combat where it's not so much about clicking icons and stuff IMO...(like Oblivion, my fav. RPG so far). I was more of a first-person shooter player but I'm starting to like these character based games now, where you get to sorta personalize stuff and really get into another world. Thanks again for the answers, and may the sunspears preval!!
oh and welcome to Guild Wars!!!!
