m.e
our server… all its full.. and wow so many achieve.. 50 world rank..OMG
Servel
this one can be probably done be going there with alts – they can level much faster that your main. You of course can´t do as much as your mine but in zerg it doesnt matter so much.
IRON
wvw rank is 5k xp at all ranks except the first few
Acidicore
You can also get Big Spender by purchasing 5 Tastes of Liquid World Experience. Keep in mind that it also costs 2 laurels per. The upside is, you get to progress the World Ranker achievement. For those unaware, after level five, the amount of experience becomes static, amounting to 5k per level. Using this method, you’ll be 10% of the way into World Ranker. It all depends on you.
Dulfy
Added ty 🙂
Vital
those arent small numbers, this is large amount of time that needs to be put into this, I don’t know how to feel about this considering I don’t like WvW
Erik Weiss
It’s over 7 weeks, I think you’ll be ok.
Vital
Thanks, I guess I will be.
Alerion
it’s not really hard, i’ve already the meta only by player as normal (only ruins an jp’s i had to do specially for the meta)
Alerion
*by playing as normal…
Amaris
Well, it’s something they offer for the people who want to do lots of WvW, instead of doing only things that are either PvE (most of the content of the living stories) or PvP (some of the minigames). It’s also the least updated part of the game, so it’s nice.
You can either suck it up and go for it, you have 7 weeks to hit these numbers, or just don’t participate in doing something you don’t like.
Isil
Geat Job!!\ Please incllude in the guide that to get Demolition achievement you have to use a machine, attacking doors won’t count even if you alone break the wall down.
Isil
Sorry I meant “door down” 😛
Dulfy
Thanks, added
Erik Weiss
I got the first notification on for this by dpsing down a door from SM. Probably a bug since I didn’t get it for towers.
*edit: It seems I have credit for 2 doors from never using siege. I believe I got them both from dpsing SM’s inner door.
Qiff
The BL JP’s seem bugged. I can get both key parts from the chests, and I can enter the vault, but I can’t open the chest. Can anyone confirm this? I’ve tested this on two borderlands, including my own.
Erik Weiss
Mists Merc Camp Vanquisher: You just have to tag it, if another faction takes it you also get credit. (might be a bug)
Luthan
Sentries and Dolyaks seem a bit boring and a lot of farming(might be good for people that do a lot of small group roaming). If you are with the zerg always people are running faster and killing them. Might be hard to get… but then again you don’t need to get all of the achievements for the Meta. Other stuff should be good with zerg.
Elena Callegari
So yak’s bend never gets a green map til the end of the season on dec 5?
Azure
At least you get one. Have a look at gold league. Virtually only 2 servers get the green part of the map out of 6.
Zenalie
IoJ neither, lots of others don’t either. WHY??? This doesn’t make fucking sense.
Amaris
Look at Seafarer’s Rest… We only play on the green side for 7 weeks in a row.
Zen
You can also get demolition expert by having someone in your party use the siege.
Lord
Hi how do you get Dawn at the season ?\ It is not achieved, but all the others achievement are unlocked.\ I went on WvW on saturday and sunday morning, but nothing append\ Thanks
Abyssalstar
That achievment’s been bugged, I believe. I got it but some haven’t.
Numnum
Is it a still bugged ?\ Because I don’t have it and still wondering how to get it \^\^
Thanks a lot ! 🙂
JNG-3
I don’t think you need to use a siege weapon to get Demolitions Expert. I had multiple friends and acquaintances besides myself confirm that they received credit towards the achievement for breaking down a gate/wall without using a siege weapon.
Dulfy
I have broken down plenty of gates (not walls) without a siege weapon and never got the achievement to advance.
Mortifer Ultor
I borke down 11 gates and walls, 4 of which I used siege weapons for. 7 times i simply auto-attacked the gate while others tore it down with rams.
Morten Møller Jakobsen
I’m pretty sure it’s a matter of damage done to the gate/wall. I checked it as well because it seemed inconsistant to me, (Sometimes it counted, sometimes it didn’t) but after several attempts I find that if I have enough time to simply shoot at the gate with normal attacks, the achievement advances. If I use a siege weapon it is pretty certain that it advances.
TL;DR – It’s possible without siege weapons, it’s most likely a damage threshold.
Wenyip
You need to do a certain amount (unknown) of damage to get credit. Same as with tagging a mob. So, if you’re in a full party of players with high power, you’ll get it a lot more often that if you’re on your own playing a condi build. You’re also more likely to get it the more your server is relying on PvD to take down the gate – if there are 5 sup rams or golems or whatever, they’ll take it down fast enough that you won’t be able to rack up enough damage to get credit.
If you are determined to PvD gates, Fiery Greatswords (the 3 and 4 skills) will really help.
Alerion
yep i got the 30 needed points and didn’t use ram, cata or treb.
The Spirit Molecule
same ;_;
Dulfy
Just do it in a group then you should get the credit 🙂 It is based on how much damage you or your group dealt so definitely easier in a group
hoschi
it works if u get WXP from the gate. only then does it count towards the achievement. best done during a WXP/karma train arranged with another server…
Heretiko
These achievements actually ruined WvW experience. Not only in quality(people wants to do achievements and they give a fuck about commanders orders/tactics), but even in queue waiting times. This is so lame.
Heretiko
they don’t give a fuck*
anethater\^\^
thats gw2 , never seen a game which is fucked up after 1 year that hard . its really sad to see that gw2 always gets more of a kindergarden assbitch game for 5 year old idiots, really a agme for children but not for ppl with at least a bit of brain
kaneda979
Well looks like one thing’s for sure, the game is around for dumbasses to say stupid and untrue crap about it.
Abyssalstar
With a name like “anethater” did you really expect him to say nice things about GW2? He’s just a troll.
kaneda979
Just sounds like you’ve just been having bad luck. But no one ever said life was fare. Groups I’ve been running with have been great. Fallowing the commander perfectly. Really close to getting my Meta.
As for the WvW ques. Yeah, they suck bad. But at least a new no que WvW map is coming soon. Too bad the old maps aren’t that way already though…
chpoit
You can also get a WvW xp bottle from the seasonnal achievement chests.
Chiko
How long this achis will be available for complete ?
Lord
7 weeks, up to December 5th

Question : I play a warrior, but does not manage to advance quickly in defeating other players (play greatsword – Rifle).\ what kind of stuff/skills traits can you give to help me.\ Thanks a lot for your answer.
Lognodo
First advice would be switch from rifle to bow. You have ranged AoE now which is very helpful for tagging players.
Greatsword is also not very useful due to the 3.5 second root from Hundred Baldes. Perhaps consider another build completely.
RabidCoqui
GS with a stun on your other set can be very strong. Learn to play it and you can just laugh as they have to eat the full HB.
Sesirdzija
Still HB is for small scale try standing when fighting a group
RabidCoqui
Whirlwind attack gives good mobility in combat along with evade. Any melee is challenging to use in middle of zerg, but GS can be used effectively like other melee options. It’s also probably the best melee option for tagging if you’re careful. Personally, I use Hammer + Longbow.
Shadowrak
I play GS/Rifle and it is great for meleeing zergs and hunting down single targets at range.
If you want to AoE zergs, get a bow.\ If you want max mobility get a warhorn on one of your sets.
There are many different builds that all work fine.
Lord
Thanks for all your answers.\ I changed the GS to Horn (Axe or Sword) so that I can follow with the pack easily and keep the rifle (i will try the longbow as soon as possible). and managed to score 100 hits in 1 day.
I took my PRT armor with Superior Melandru Runes instead of my Knight’s armor.
After a few tries, I notice theat I was killed too fast because I tend to run away from the group and was killed by other players.
StoneyB
Do we know what the rewards in the Season Chests will consist of?
Lord
No, but I think there will be (at least) :
– the Mini Dolyak because it has been added to the mini collection.\ Permanent Trophy finisher (Type I or II) depending on the server rank after this event
justposting
i reckon the trophy finisher was meant for the ones who won the pvp tourney that happened recently.
Lord
thanks.\ I didn’t play the pvp touney, so I do not know which reward were on it.\ So the mini dolyak should be in the WvW Season 1 chest.
Kane
For all of you complaining about the time you need to spend to get these achievements and the grind for the achievements. Stop, right now. These are achievements meant for people who wvw cause honestly we’re screwed in that aspect. Have you seen some of the basic achievements? Dolyak slapper would take you 10 YEARS to finish if you kill 10 a day. If you are extremely determined to get these achievements, then run with the zerg, get into your community’s VOIP (raidcall, teamspeak, mumble, etc) and listen to the commanders. Also, this is not a full zerker pve thing. You run pvt (power, toughness, vitality) through and through otherwise you’ll just melt and res the enemy zerg. If you cant do any of those things, then you’re just screwing over your server as well as yourself cause then you won’t be able to finish the meta and you minus well get out of WvW and just do another dungeon. I run both WvW and PvE so I do know what I’m talking about, so no use calling me “elitist” or anything. I’ve dealt with just as many in PvE as I have in WvW and I’m trying to help you guys out here so that you can get the meta easier. Run with the zerg and you’ll get these in no time. You have 7 weeks!
Also sorry for the long post 😛
kane
Also, I have 9/15 done after 3 days, with another 3 almost done and the rest either over halfway done on the last tier or very close to being halfway done.
Mungolian
Love you Kev
DarkChaosGames
Is ‘zerker ok with 1500 range/defensive utilities? 🙁\ I never was too into WvW until recently with S1 since the reward system seemed pretty lackluster.
sputnik
best use of birthday booster ever! got 68 ranks in 3 days and meta completed – ty for guide
Sergei
I never before try to write a guide but like to give few\ pointers to easy achievements. I have 14 done already. I do a lot of WvW on JQ\ in great WvW guild.
JP’s.
EBJP is hard if you newer done it before. Get on EB map and keep asking in map chat for Mesmer port in JP. I got it on first day. I did Obsidian myself few times but recommend port as a fast and easy solution. BL’s JPs are very easy usually takes 5-10 min to complete. Get a group with Mesmer or 2.\ Try not to fight in JPs’ no one wonna end up dead in the middle and most of the\ time it is peace in BLs JPs.
Master of ruins can be done within 2 hours time frame. Get a group together and run around stomping.\ I would not recommend doing it solo or in group less than 5 members. It might take much longer due to multiple deathsJ.
Demolition.
Don’t be lazy get behind a treb and hit SMC wall. If aim well it is usually 2-3 points within 5 min on not upgraded SMC wall. In worst case build treb yourself on one of the towers wall facing SMC if your commanders are lame enough not to have few up already. Runing with zerg and hitting gates with rams or weapons works as well.
Merc camps is a real pain. It can be done only on EB and EB usually has worst pugs and longest QE.
I have seen an advice to tag it and agree tagging does work sometimes\ but camp has to belong to someone when it tagged. If you just tag camp when it\ is ready for event and then other side take it there is no points. Leave it be but if u manage to accomplish it kudos to you. I am not even trying\ A lot of achievements make more sense while looking at whole picture\ and not at each achievement invidually. Supply camps usually have 4 or more\ guards 2 yaks and sentry posts outside a camp. IE 100 taken camps equal to at\ list 400 guards 200 yaks and 100 sentries. Run very fast. Crazy zerked PVE wars\ kill mobs very fast.
Invasion defender. Hope your server has at list one good\ commander who understand mechanic of zerg fights and will not kill his own zerg by\ stupidity. If u have a toon with good AOE skills like Necro or Ele 450 kills\ are easy to get. Remember you don’t need to perform actuall kill. Tag enemy player and if he dies within certain time frame you get kill count. What is interesting i once manage to tag BG player then SOR player kill him. I got kill and loot. Now when i see huge zerg fights without my server involved in it am always run toward it tag as much ppl as possible on both sides and run away to safe place to wait for bags to come.:)\ Restorer.
Get to SMC when it being trebed by opposite side and waste\ supply repairing wall. You’ll make some ppl very unhappningy doing it but who cares\ really. 15-20 min to finish it if u have good supply inflow and no one mimicking\ your bad behavior.
Note to Anet. All achievements are extremely time consuming and boring even for ppl like me who loves WvW and at this point of the game ignores PVE completely. I enjoy a good zerg fight and siege but hours spend on running around hunting poor yaks and taking camps feels like insult. I bielive there is tons of interesting things can be added to wvw\ instead of making ppl wasting hours on bullcrap.
Note to noobs needing this guide. Please get your achievements\ ASAP and stop coming to WVW you are ruining it for people who really like it\ but can’t get in for hours and have to deal with all stupidity going on in WvW ATm
RabidCoqui
“Get to SMC when it being trebed by opposite side and waste\ supply repairing wall. You’ll make some ppl very unhappy doing it but who cares\ really. 15-20 min to finish it if u have good supply inflow and no one mimicking\ your bad behavior.”
Please do not follow this advice. You have weeks to get the achievement and there are other achievements you can do instead if you don’t have the patience. Working against your server just so you can get some achievement points is really selfish.
Sergei
Usually I’d agree with you my advice sounds bad but during\ this week following it can actually be beneficial to your server. In T1 SMC during peak hours flipped every tick\ or 2 and no one bothers to upgrade or build siege. Spending all supply on wall\ repairs guarantee opposite side will not get SMC with full supply depots to\ build trebs
Lord
Hi Dulfy,
the points for the Advanced Mists Invasion Defender – kill 450 enemy invaders are missing
The Spirit Molecule
capturing mercenary camps, demolition expert, and the 5 castles and 10 keeps is gonna be a bish T_T
Lord
Hi. Capturing Merc Camp is not so difficult.\ I have noticed that you get merc credit point even if you fail the event to capture it,
So you can\ 1) put a camp to neutral\ 2) help a little to get some credit in the event\ 3) fail the event so that it still belongs to the opponent\ 4) restart the 3 firts previous actions.
There are 3 merc camps on CBE, so you can turn around and make this quickly.\ It takes around 5 minutes between neutral and capturing a camp.
Claudio Kim
I have noticed some storyline quests where you kill guards count toward season meta achievement while leveling my asura.
steelo
but anet rruly doesnt know how to make a season, 1st week vizu piken sfr, last week same \^\^ so they obviously want vizu to win, really a shame that this french fags who double team dont get minus points in league, really a shame, but nothing other was expected by stupid frenchies\^\^ so league in gold league absolutely senseless give vizu their shit and then just kill all of em\^\^
jo
u mad bro 😀 ?
The best wins ,period.\ Do not try to find reasons.\ They win coz they are the best.They may not be perfect ,but they win.
Learn to play , stop being a racist faggot , and go get an education.
U mad?
No, he´s telling the truth. It´s just fuckin ridiculous playing against 2 french servers. The problem is, Canadians also play on French servers, and they have just opponent time zones. So when Paris time zone servers are hardly trying to deff it´s towers and stuff, Vizuh and Augur just have MORE THAN ENOUGH players to cap the whole map. Sry, haha, no, not just one map. ALL MAPS belong to Frenchman.\ Yeah sure, they ARE good. But they never would win this season that easy if they wouldn´t have this advantage.
Geb
Do we already know what’s in the Meta achievement WvW Season Reward Chest ?\ I dream of new skins or ascended armors but it will be fore sure blue&green stuffs…
Guest
9/15 – didn’t do stonemist, sentries, dolyaks, jumping puzzles [4].Guess I’ll do the JP’s then try 2 others? 😀
Psychopath
Two weeks of Drakkar Lake DE which are dedicated to WvW and outnumber us 3 players to 1.. Oh joy.
