Guild Wars 1 Trivia

1. "Right! Here we are, students. The Battle Isles. Smell the air, you can smell the competition, oh yes! So, we've just stepped off the boat, and arrived at the Battle Isles. Which town we are in?"

From Quiz A Day at the Battle Isles

Answer: Great Temple of Balthazar

The starting place for new PvP characters, The Great Temple of Balthazar is a bustling town where players from all over the world can meet and participate in all kinds of PvP battles. PvE characters can also arrive here by clicking the boat icon near each of the major port cities on each continent, and selecting 'Great Temple of Balthazar'.

From Quiz 'Guild Wars' General Knowledge

Answer: Protective Spirit

Protective Spirit is used in a lot of monk farming builds to enable the monk to receive small amounts of damage that can be countered with small healing spells or high health regen. The icon is a picture of a blue-coloured Bhudda-like head. In Guild Wars Eye of the North, the Protective Spirit face is shown on the walls of some of the dungeons.

From Quiz The Art of Battle in "Guild Wars"

Answer: 60%

If any character is killed while completing the campaign, they will take a 15% Death Penalty, lowering both their overall health and energy temporarily. To remove the Death Penalty, you either need to defeat enemies, capture skills, or enter a town or outpost. Defeating bosses will also cut the penalty back down. Henchmen and Heroes can both gain Death Penalty as well, and there is a cap at 60%. In later stages of a campaign, the Death Penalty can be a player's ultimate enemy as it will decrease chances of advancing. If all players die in battle, they will be transported to the nearest resurrection shrine. However, if they all die within a mission, they will be transported to the outpost marking the start of the mission.

From Quiz 9 for 10 - "Guild Wars"

Answer: ritualist

Ritualists, a 'hybrid', if you like, of Monks and Necromancers, are powerful allies, capable of dishing out significant damage through the use of Channeling Magic, as well as providing effective healing support with various Restoration Magic skills. Ritualists can also transform players' weapons for a short time using Weapon Spells, and can summon the ashes of deceased heroes to aid in battle.

From Quiz 'Guild Wars' General Knowledge

Answer: Icy Dragon Sword

The Icy Dragon Sword drops in multiple places: Mineral Springs in the 'Prophecies' Campaign, two areas east of Granite Citadel; the other area of note is in some areas in Guild Wars Eye of the North. Rare skin drops happen randomly from bosses and other general mobs. The Icy Dragon Sword looks almost identical to the Fiery Dragon Sword, except for its icy-blue colour. Granite Citadel is the closest outpost or city to Mineral Springs, as Mineral Springs is a 'Dead-End' area, meaning there is no second path leading out of it.

From Quiz The Art of Battle in "Guild Wars"

Answer: By defeating a boss

Also in PvE, a player can gain a Morale Boost, which is the polar opposite of the dreaded Death Penalty. The Morale Boost will raise health and energy by a certain amount. Defeating a boss will give a player a 2% Morale Boost, and defeating more bosses will stack the boosts. In certain areas and missions, defeating certain other enemies (such as Sand Giants in Thirty River) will give a Morale Boost. If a player is killed in battle, they will still receive a 15% Death Penalty, but the blow won't be as hard, as what may have been a 2% Morale Boost will only translate to a 13% Death Penalty (rather than 15%) after death. Like Dealth Penalties, Morale Boosts are lost when a player enters a town or outpost.

From Quiz "Guild Wars" Professions

Answer: Factions

The Ranger is a popular ranged-attack character because they often use bows to attack enemies from afar. The Marksmanship attribute and primary attribute, Expertise will allow the Ranger to strengthen their bow and arrow skills. Along with these and the Beast Mastery attributes, a Ranger can also use Wilderness Survival spells which can create traps and start rituals. Rangers can often interrupt enemy attacks and 'Barrage Rangers' are commonly found in the game. These often use Elementalists or Monks as a secondary profession.

From Quiz "Guild Wars" Miscellany

Answer: My Guild Hall Smells of Rich Mahogany

'Kind of a Big Deal' is a fairly reputable prestige title attained by only the most dedicated players and its collection is entirely dependent on your ability to collect the other titles throughout the game. For the first 'Kind of a Big Deal' rank you need to have maxed out five other title tracks. This maxes out with rank 6-- 'God Walking Amongst Mere Mortals'-- in which you need thirty maxed titles. All of the ranks of these titles allude to lines from the 2004 film "Anchorman". If you reach rank 2, 'People Know Me', you'll be able to collect the Rainbow Phoenix as a pet from your Hall of Monuments in "Eye of the North".

From Quiz 9 for 10 - "Guild Wars"

Answer: Yak's Bend

The first outpost that travelers come across when beginning their journey through the Shiverpeak Mountains is Yak's Bend. It is a good place to regroup and prepare for the fight through Stone Summit dwarves to get to Borlis Pass and beyond.

From Quiz "Guild Wars"...But Only PvP

Answer: Balthazar

When a player jumps into any Alliance Battle, they'll be on one of the two warring sides, the Kurzick and Luxon sides, and this will reflect guild choice. While the Kurzick side resides in Echovald Forest, the Luxons reside in the Jade Sea, and both of these factions will cross as the players fight alongside each other in Harvest Temple/Unwaking Waters, and beyond. The higher alliance faction your guild has, the more highly-esteemed they are, allowing for towns and outposts to be owned by said alliances. The largest Kurzick town is House Zu Heltzer while the largest Luxon town is Cavalon. Alliance faction can also be used to obtain Amber and Jade, each of which are used to create faction-specific armor sets.

From Quiz 'Guild Wars' General Knowledge

Answer: 'Charge!'

'Charge!' is a useful skill for Warrior running builds, as it increases the speed of the shouter and all nearby party members within earshot. It is also useful if the Warrior and his party need to make a hasty retreat or if they need to get into a battle quickly, to power up certain skills or just to quickly get to the action.

From Quiz The Art of Battle in "Guild Wars"

Answer: Eight

The skill bar is on the bottom of the screen along with the Health and Energy bars. Skills can be both captured and bought in the game if you have enough skill points (and/or a Signet of Capture) and they will be key in defeating many enemies. For the melee characters, skills may also be comprised of certain attacks rather than spells that are more of a skill for a magic-type user. Paragons and Warriors also make use of adrenaline in order to use these skills. After defeating a certain amount of enemies, taking and receiving damage, adrenaline will rise. Skills make use of energy, found in the blue bar next to the health bar. Skills known as 'Elite Skills' can also be captured by bosses found later in the campaigns.

From Quiz "Guild Wars" Professions

Answer: Divine Favor

Monks are characters that every party will be searching for. Quite simply, the Monk is what keeps the party going, and without one, teams will have a hard time resurrecting or healing party members. Secondary attributes for the Monk include Healing Prayers, Protective Prayers, and Smiting Prayers. Divine Favor, the primary attribute, will allow a Monk to heal allies much more effectively. Famous Monks include Brother Mhenlo and Danika of the Kurzicks. Players often hear about the 55 Monk as well. It only has 55HP, but due to the way that the character is built, it survives easily in battle.

From Quiz 9 for 10 - "Guild Wars"

Answer: obsidian

The most highly coveted of all armour sets, Obsidian Armour is extremely costly (upwards of 1000 platinum) and only craftable in the Fissure of Woe. Crafting the armour requires certain expensive materials, such as Globs of Ectoplasm and Obsidian Shards. Players who have purchased Obsidian Armour on one of their characters usually wear it for prestige.

From Quiz "Guild Wars"...But Only PvP

Answer: Kanaai Canyon

There are five possible locations for Alliance Battles in Cantha. The location with the highest Luxon favour will be Kanaai Canyon, featuring a large Luxon base surrounded by Kurz forces. The Kurzick equivalent of this location is the Ancestral Tombs. The Ersatz Coast is a Luxon favored area while Grenz Frontier is for Kurzick benefit. Saltspray Beach is dead even, with a symmetrical playing field. Alliance Battle locations are always determined by faction control in Cantha. If Luxons take control of Kurzick outposts, for example, the arena will shift in order to give Kurzicks a fair advantage. This will also affect PvE environments as well, restricting basic services if you are in a town that is not owned by your faction. Alliance Battles are only reachable through a guild hall.

From Quiz The Art of Battle in "Guild Wars"

Answer: Ranger

The Ranger profession has the Beast Mastery attribute which allows it to charm a beast found in the explorable areas of a campaign. Depending on where a player is, they can find different animals to gain as pets (eg. Lynxes, Bears, Tigers, Flamingos, Moa Birds, etc.). Once a pet is charmed it will appear on the party toolbar and can be somewhat controlled by the player. Certain skills will allow a Ranger to control a pet's skills as well. Like players and Heroes, pets have a level cap of 20.

From Quiz "Guild Wars" Miscellany

Answer: I could be; there's not enough information to know

'Ward Against Elements' is a spell cast in a specific area used to reduce the amount of damage taken from elemental attacks (ie. Fire Magic, Water Magic, Air Magic, and Earth Magic) and it can be cast by Elementalists who use the Earth Magic attribute. This doesn't mean you need to be an Elementalist to use it, however. You could use this spell if your secondary profession was Elementalist. In other words, Monk (or any other class) could be your primary profession and Elementalist could be the secondary so you could use it provided points are put into the correct category. This means there is not enough info to answer the question adequately; you could be any primary profession and still get it. This is a basic ward spell learned from early skill trainers in "Prophecies".

From Quiz 9 for 10 - "Guild Wars"

Answer: Fahranur, The First City

Fahranur, The First City, as the name suggests, was the first home of the Order of the Sunspears, but the Scarab Plague forced the Sunspears out of Fahranur. Upon entering Fahranur from Jokanur Diggings, one can find a broken statue of Abaddon a short distance away.

From Quiz "Guild Wars"...But Only PvP

Answer: Be used to obtain Zaishen Keys

Balthazar Faction is a bit more difficult to obtain than the other two alliance factions solely because it relies on the result of certain battles. Every time a player character accumulates five thousand Balthazar faction, a Zaishen Key is an optional reward given by the Priest of Balthazar (who can be found in various locations). This key can in turn be used on the Zaishen Chest on the Battle Isles, and every time a key is used it goes towards another title track. Balthazar faction can also be used to gain PvP player rewards. If you give a Priest of Balthazar a certain amount of this faction, you can unlock skills, both elite and regular, heroes, and option item upgrades.

From Quiz 'Guild Wars' General Knowledge

Answer: Minion Master

A Minion Master is a N/Mo (Necromancer/Monk) who uses Death animation spells like Animate Bone Golem and Animate Flesh Golem to summon undead minions, and Death spells like Blood of the Master and Healing Prayers like Heal Area to maintain the health of the minions. While the number of minions currently animated appears on a Necromancer's UI (User Interface), the health bars of the Minions do not show up, making an MM's main task of keeping the health of his minions as high as possible a challenging one. A new, more useful elite skill for MM's that appears in Guild Wars Eye of the North (instead of Animate Flesh Golem) is the elite enchantment Jagged Bones. While active, any summoned minions who die spawn more minions, effectively making an infinite supply of minions for the MM.

From Quiz The Art of Battle in "Guild Wars"

Answer: Balthazar & Balthazar Faction

In the lands of "Guild Wars", Balthazar is the God of War and Fire. In Guild Battles as well as arenas and tournaments, you can earn Balthazar Faction by defeating your opponents. When you have earned enough, you can redeem the points for heroes, skills, and special items at a Priest of Balthazar, and you can use them on your PvP characters. Statues of Balthazar can be found throughout the campaigns.

From Quiz "Guild Wars" Professions

Answer: Fast Casting

Mesmers are odd characters, often using magic to change a situation to their liking. Using hexes, spells, enchantments, and other magic, Mesmers can interrupt opponents, remove status effects and more. Next to the Fast Casting technique, Mesmers use Domination, Illusion, and Inspiration Magic to inflict damage or prevent damage from foes.

From Quiz "Guild Wars" Miscellany

Answer: The Kodash Bazaar

While Vabbian Armor isn't the latest armor you find in the "Nightfall" campaign it is perhaps one of the most expensive you'll find anywhere across the entirety of "Guild Wars" because its material requirements are pricey and rare to come by. For the entire set you'll spend 25 platinum, but you'll also need to use Sapphires and Rubies (which are very expensive to buy) to craft it. For this reason, Vabbian Armor and Obsidian Armor (the most expensive core armor set) give one Hall of Monument reward point each. The Kodash Bazaar is the major town of Vabbi in Elona's northeast expanses.

From Quiz 9 for 10 - "Guild Wars"

Answer: Perfect Salvage Kit

Perfect Salvage Kits are valuable items to have, as they allow you to salvage any magical component from an item without breaking it. However, each kit only allows five uses, and can only be crafted from four NPCs in exchange for a Skill Point and various materials. These NPCs have [Consumables] written after their names, and can be found in Gunnar's Hold, Eye of the North, Rata Sum and Central Transfer Chamber.

From Quiz "Guild Wars"...But Only PvP

Answer: Kill the Guild Lord

Guild vs. Guild battles (GvG) are primarily used to up the rank of your guild as a whole. Teams consist of at least four members of the guild in some capacity and four members of any background (NPC or player, in the guild or not), and the main objective is to kill the opposing team's Guild Lord, which is cleverly nestled within the enemy base (usually guarded by other NPCs). Adding to the mix is an impartial flag that will be in the dead center of the map. This flag, when captured and returned to the Guild Lord, will reward that team with a morale boost every two minutes. Due to the lack of guilds that usually participate at one given time, lower-ranked guilds will often find themselves opposing higher-ranked guilds. Regardless of the result, each match will affect the guild's overall ranking. This ranking takes into account both the wins and losses of your team.

From Quiz 'Guild Wars' General Knowledge

Answer: Shiro's Blades

Shiro's Blades, like Shiro's Sword (one of the other 'Factions' end-game green items), is a requirement thirteen weapon (13 dagger mastery) that does less than twenty maximum damage. It has the equivalent of a Vampiric mod on it, and gives +30HP. The 13 attribute requirment makes it very difficult for any player, assassin or otherwise to use it, because the maximum level an attribute can be at without any runes or head armour bonuses is 12. This forces the player to: 1) have an assassin or 2) get either a +1 dagger mastery head piece or to get a minor, major, or superior rune of dagger mastery in order to be able to get the full effect of the weapon. Another end-game green dagger offered when you beat the game is the Ceremonial Daggers, which were presumably to be used by Emperor Kisu's predecessor to kill Shiro in the Harvest Temple.

From Quiz The Art of Battle in "Guild Wars"

Answer: Three

If you'd rather not build a party with other members in the game, you can always create a group from henchmen that are usually located near the entrance/exit to an area. These are often comprised of healers, fighters, casters, and more. As you progress through a campaign, the henchmen will increase in level and stregth and the amount of henchmen you can hold will increase to a party size of eight. You can not customize henchmen.

From Quiz 9 for 10 - "Guild Wars"

Answer: Abaddon

Once one of the Gods of Tyria, Abaddon was sent into exile after he attempted to overthrow the other Five Gods because they sealed the four schools of magic in several Bloodstones. Abaddon, and his army of Margonites, attacked a weak point in the Rift to accomplish his task, but could not withstand the combined power of the Five Gods. He was exiled to the Realm of Torment for all eternity.
