Hey everyone, it has being more than a month since GW2 was released and alot of you are probably reached or about to reach L80. I thought this would be a time to release my endgame gearing guide that I wrote in the past week. Basically, if you are not sure what to do at L80 to get all exotics, then this might be a worth a read.

Full Guide here:http://dulfy.net/2012/10/03/gw2-endgame-gearing-guide/

The guide is fairly lengthy and and to reduce the amount of vertical scrolling, I have enclosed most of the information in dropdown boxes. This allow you to skip the sections you don't want to read and jump onto the important bits right away. I will also include a TL:DR summary here.

Those who care only about exotics might find these three charts helpful

• Exotic Gear stats distribution chart

• Crafted exotic armor stats breakdown

• Exotic Weapon stats distribution chart

TL:DR Summary of Contents in the guide

Basic Information

• Item tiers (White (trash) < Blue (fine) < Green (masterwork) < Yellow (rare) < Orange (exotic) < Purple (legendary)

• Item affixes (Berserker, Rampager etc)

• Salvage everything that is L70+ for rare mats w/ discussions on salvage kit usage

• Map Completion your 60-70 and 70-80 zones for L70+ exotics

Trinkets & Backpieces

• Skip rares and get Masterwork trinkets instead (stats upgrade is minimal and rares are about 45x the prices of masterworks)

• Mats you need for exotic trinkets

• You can get a rare guild backpiece for 5 gold (waste of money really)

Armor

• Fine/Masterwork: Cursed Shore karma vendor location and stats

• Fine/Masterwork: WvW karma vendor location and stats

• Rare: What mats you need to get a full set crafted (1.5-2 gold for the full set)

• Rare: WvW karma vendor also sell a rare set for 95k karma

• Exotics: Select sets based on your stats preference

• Exotics: Four ways to get full exotics: crafting (10-12 gold for full set), Dungeons (token grinds), WvW (Badges of Honor grind), or Karma (Orr Temple karma grind at 42k karma/piece)

Weapons

• Fine/Masterwork: Cursed Shore Karma vendors or WvW vendors

• Rare: WvW karma vendors or T3 cultural vendors if you got spare karma

• Rare: How to get them crafted w/ full mat list.

Runes/Sigils

• A list of most exotic runes/sigils in the game with methods on obtaining them (mat list for those that are crafted)

Food
