The Artisan of Nature in Droknar’s Forge is where all Rangers should be heading to pick up their unique Deldrimor items. Unfortunately the skins for each of the bows are all pretty similar - however they are one of the better looking items for Rangers in Guild Wars.

Deldrimor Flatbow

• Piercing Dmg: 15-28 (req. 9 Marksmanship)
• Damage +15% (while Health is above 50%)
• Energy gain on hit: 1
• Energy regeneration -1
• Health +30
• Two handed

Deldrimor Hornbow

• Piercing Dmg: 15-28 (req. 9 Marksmanship)
• Damage +15% (while Health is above 50%)
• Life stealing: 5
• Health regeneration -1
• Health +30
• Two handed

Deldrimor Longbow

• Piercing Dmg: 15-28 (req. 9 Marksmanship)
• Damage +15% (while Health is above 50%)
• Armor penetration +20% (Chance: 20%)
• Health +30
• Two handed

Deldrimor Recurve Bow

• Piercing Dmg: 15-28 (req. 9 Marksmanship)
• Damage +15% (while Health is above 50%)
• Lengthens Crippled duration on foes by 33% (Stacking)
• Health +30

Deldrimor Shortbow

• Piercing Dmg: 15-28 (req. 9 Marksmanship)
• Damage +15% (while Health is above 50%)
• Lengthens Bleeding duration on foes by 33% (Stacking)

As you can see, the stats for these bows are all pretty similar, with only slight differences in the extra effects these unique weapons can cause. Choice is always good, however, and with such a wide range of effects combined with similar (and cool looking) skins, it’s possible to create a Guild Wars build that’s very customised.

Just a quick heads up to anyone who took part in the Guild Wars automated tournaments in July - the results are now out.

In the Guild vs Guild tournament, Rebel Rising [Rawr] continue to dominate, with an amazing seven consecutive victories, defeating Straight Outta Kamadan [KMD].

In the Heroe’s Battles, Bob Bien beat Yi Gi Oh Wtf Oo.

You can check out the full rankings and detailed results, as well as all the skill usage charts, at the July results page.

The skill usage charts are well worth checking out, giving a great insight into new builds and new combinations of skills that can be used to up your game, whether your play style is PvE or PvP.

Bad news for those without credit cards - ArenaNet have announced that they are having to overhaul the backend payment system that powers the Guild Wars in-game store. Mastercard are apparently changing the way they handle payments from Maestro debit cards, and this in turn means that the Guild Wars in-game store won’t accept Maestro (and presumably Switch) debit card payments for a while.

So if you’ve just got a debit card and were thinking about buying something, now is the time to get in there and place your order.

Something I’ve never been involved in that much in Guild Wars has been the regular monthly tournaments that take place. These used to be a bit of manual thing, required sign up well in advance, and it always seemed like too much hassle.

However, the Xunlai tournaments are now totally automated, and last weekend I swung round the Xunlai Tournament House, and spoke to Xunlai Agent Kun Shao to see what’s what.

The best bit about the automated Xunlai Tournaments is that you don’t have to be any good at PvP - you can make predictions on which players or Guilds will win, and then win prizes. Of course, you can take part in the automated tournaments if PvP is your thing, but for starters I thought I’d sign up, place some predictions, and see how things went.

You can sign up to the Tournament House here. I’d recommend all Guild Wars players give it a go - it costs nothing, is a laugh, and some of the Zaishen Rewards are pretty good - especially with an eye out to boosting any Title Tracks to gain a boost in Guild Wars 2. Sign up today and give it a go!
