- Now that we've covered the basics of building up gold and gear for a new account, it's time to take things to the next level! Fractals are an essential part of a consistent Guild Wars 2 income, with Tier 4s and Challenge Motes in particular bringing in a huge amount of money. However, you can't just jump straight in to 100CM and rake in the cash - first up, we're starting from the bottom...

Coming from Destiny 2, where the LFG experience sucks, I was pleasantly suprised here, I pretty much LFG everythig, whenever i want to do an activity i start one up, and EVEN in map chat, when i need help, these high level ABSOLUTE CHADS and CHADETTES are more than willing to drop by on my apple when i need help. GW2 is awesome, i'm never freaking leaving this game.
Your pronunciation of "Einfach Basti" was pretty good. The German "ch" isn't easy to pronounce.
One of my favorite series I've ever seen. I've been playing for 5-6 years but super casually so this is super helpful for me too and I learn SO much new things in every video! Keep em goin!
Just did my first serious fractal run today. Good timing! :)
This video in my opinion really shows 2 things:
-some mecanics could be a more implied or straight up told to the player. The first time I did it I understood the hammer was an important mecanic however I just didn’t know what I had to do with it. I saw the rune and I was like well I guess I’ll just spam every skill on the hammer without knowing the 4th skill unlocks after killing a cultist and that skill is what I should use. I didn’t know the corruption downs you at 40 stacks and to be fair they should make the corruption do some visual effect like progressively making the screen dark as you accumulate stacks so people will know that if their screens becomes too dark they have to drop the hammer.
-You have to be patient when doing T1 fractals. I don’t know why but it seems a lot of players expect T1 fractal players to know every mecanic perfectly and then gets angry if they fail or take more time than an experienced group.
That's one of my favorite activity to do when I need to clear T1. opening up a daily newcomer accepted and we take it slow and have a good time.
and how is this different for any other content of the game. when does the game explain you the tactics for strikes, raids, dungeons or world bosses?
Teaching new players T1 fractal mechanics is one of my favorite things. I usually play a hard carry healing build and go from there. Makes it easier to learn mechanics if they don't have to worry about dying 😅
What are some hard carry healers if I might ask? :)
@@MCjanzgu Look up the heal firebrand (HFB) or healing alacrity mechanist (HAM) builds!
really apppreciate this kind of content MT!❤
In case anyone needs it. If you get locked out of the cliffside boss room, you need to find and pull the chains next to the gate to teleport in. Does not auto teleport and I was so confused the first time
I tried to solo cliffside on my celestial tempest. Didn't manage to get the arm seals, but did okay up to there. Did find out you can use tempest overloads while holding hammer! So that makes it a little easier to get kills.
Early on you want a blood ruby backpack(easily farmed thanks to season of dragons achievment) and just do your T1 dailies to get proper rings for your build. With socketed backpack, double socketed rings, pot, and singularity(last mastery tier) you get to 92 ar wich is kind of enough for T3(in the latest ones you'll be slightly short). And ofc you can drop earings, get weapons and armor pieces etc... T3 is where you start getting bang for your buck but obviously you want to do T4s asap.
this is incredibly nostalgic! haha, t1 strats are hardcore
that poor gamer who got locked out of the archdiviner fight :(
Holy shit, did i just witness a brit actually being capable of pronouncing 'ch' correctly?!
Idk why nobody realized the reason it was so hard to communicate with these guys is because they're german and probably don't speak English. They had the LFG set to German. Leading English or same-language players in first time fractals would be much easier.
They probably speak English. We learn English in third grade
So without Tea or Wiki, I'm guessing a lot of people left the hammer fractal unfinished! Big issue with this game....implementation. Lots of cool stuff, but it's not brain surgery to make it intuitive.
Coming from other MMOS saying "talking on party chat is a really good way to talk to your party" was like uhhh....... duh?
Blue class GIGACHAD Carrybrand
i like you spell Einfachbasti right (the german way) xD
Never done Fractal (yet), but I have one question : if while level 1 you can join level 14 fractal, why bother and why not just join a level 100 fractal to be at the highest level quickier ?
Because if you don't know the mechanics you'll be stomped
Because you would need agony resist, and alot of it. Or else you would die to mecanics because not enough agony resistance. Some bosses even give you agony dmg stacks when you simply enter the arena to fight them. In higher tiers you would just die on sight with low AR.
Never like the cliff side dungeon because of the annoying hammer mechanic but the ending is so good.
Anyone have a link to his build? Wanna try this out.
Yup! hardstuck.gg/gw2/builds/guardian/booster-firebrand/
@@MightyTeapot thank you kind sir.
You've not put this in zero to hero playlist yet boss
Added it now!
i think that T1 should have build in tutorial, like "you have to pick this up" and other stuff. imagine how it would end if Tea wasn't there.
but isn't figuring out the mechanics for the first time half the fun?
the real nightmare is thaumanova reactor.
Keep in mind that fractals are pretty old now, it was revulitionary pve content on release, now they need a bit updating.
T1 fractal pugs is where I go when I start to have too much faith in the human race.
Depends what kind of faith you want to lose. Want to lose faith in people's abilities? T1s. Want to lose faith in people's social skills? Play T3s xD
@@thegamesforreal1673 T3 fractals are the hardest part of fractals, actual hell when I was climbing Fractal levels xd
That's the problem with T1's no tutorial and higher tier people wont explain shit, other then say "It's easy bro".
So by the time T3's come around, and all the new players been pushed through T1 and T2 with no explanation the SHTF
@@spencers4121 tbh that's a problem with gw2 in general. I guess I just don't understand the people who will never open the wiki or look for resources outside the game. I instinctively do this for any game I play...
I am happy to explain fractal mechanics. What drives me crazy is when I ask if anyone's new and people don't say anything but then clearly don't understand the mechanics. My faith is lost when people refuse to communicate or make the most basic effort, not over people being new.
@@althehe8539 It's the level where people mostly know what they're doing mechanically, but that makes a lot of people at T3 think they're hot shit cause they know their rotation and stuff. In reality they are fully focused on performing in their own little bubble without thinking of the rest of the team, and they get super toxic about it too.
I've noticed streamers continually hitting their auto attack hotkey. Is there a reason for doing this or is it simply habit?
Mostly habit, but it does have some utility for consistently attacking
forever Lineage 2 :)
11:25 "mega tryhard, full potions" ... Yeah f*ck off Teapot, he's not trying to waste more time than needed, so give him some respect, Mr. Celestial
That inventory management is triggering me...
13:20 Tip for Mighty Teapot as he is too casual and he got use to easy runs with tryhard comps - On cliffside taking turns starts after killing enemies on both sides.
Not true
@@BotDetector-44 so how it works? On screen you can see it works that way. At least in low lvl fractals.
@@BotDetector-44 Arm Seals Edit
On this level, there are two seals separated by a hallway. The hammer needs to alternate between hitting each arm seal, as when one seal is hit it becomes protected by a purple bubble. Accordingly, the other seal loses its purple bubble and can be hit with the charged hammer.
After the initial veteran is killed, foes respawn indefinitely until the seals are destroyed and apply heavy stacks of vulnerability.
Chanters on each side will regenerate that seal's health. The seals' repair rate is the same at all difficulty levels. Keeping the foes aggro'ed on one side will minimize the healing done to that seal, but the healing can also be ignored if your party moves quickly between the two seals.
At the first (north) seal, defeat the veteran cultist. Hit the seal with the charged hammer.
The entire group heads to the second (south) seal. Defeat the veteran cultist and hit the seal with the charged hammer.
Everyone continues to run back and forth, dropping the hammer in the hallway when Corruption is too high.
Ngl cliffside is the perfect exemple on why pugging is dreadful. No one is communicating, everyone expect someone else to do the job and even when you explain what to do they will ignore you. (yes, some may not speak the langage)
It's hard to respect them.
Nah people here just had no idea what was going on, this was almost certainly one of the first fractals these guys had done. We were just blastin
I agree. Even at T4 I frequently see pugs just stand aside with a gaping jaw, never touching the hammer yet also expecting the hammer player to solo all the adds.
The game has barely any following outside of NA and EU, chances of 4 random pugs no understanding the single short sentence the mechanics are described to them are astronomically low. The leading cause of people not learning simple mechanics is just wilful ignorance.
I once witnessed deroir ragequit this fractal due to insisting running no heals and chainwiping with downstate penalty
The hammer gets people but genuinely its a dumb jank mechanic and not a player issue
yeah yeah, all bad except you, clown
@@Butelish okay buddy
A common misconception is that fractals gets progressively harder in the higher tiers. It actually gets easier. Because your group gets better and better the higher content you do, the experience gets easier and easier. T1 groups where everybody is doing fractals for the first time is the most difficult experience. If you farm fractals with the expectations you'll eventually be part of some limited hardcore experience then save yourself the effort. Dungeons are more interesting than fractals. But if you enjoy low effort content where the actual enemy is beating your teammates on the damage meter instead of the bosses, fractals is perfect for you
can't agree, sadly people in T4 aren't that experienced as you think. sometimes i even had to carry them through JP parts of fractals.
@@majkeljan Oh really. Well, with around 2000 hours of doing nothing but fractals I have to disagree with you. Unless you are on the NA servers which I wouldn't know anything about, I think you are exaggerating a lot. I do dailies every single day and most days I do dailies 2-3 times on different characters just for fun. Takes no more than 2-3 hours. The amount of times groups just ease through T4 compared to the few times your group is useless is like 95% of the time regardless if it is early, midday or late night.
I mostly agree, with the exception of I can carry T1's really easy especially if I tell people the mechanics and tier 3 is hell, with other T3 players, it's by far the hardest. Tier 4 is definitely easier the vast majority of the time.
So outside of carrying T1's it does get much easier outside of Tier 3's. Clearing CM's is better than Tier 3's
While climbing on my alt I've had people not coordinate ANYTHING including Swampland Mists at the start and the get absolutely pissy about how people failed it when they portaled back to start and finished before anyone was in position, they did this repeatedly with me and another telling them to wait for people to say "r".
Tier 3 climbing makes me want to pull my hair out.
@@sceadumor You can literally clear all T1's solo unless there is a very specific mechanic that requires more than 1 player involved. I agree T3 is the hardest stage because it's a mixed bag, some people are low on AR, some people are not quite familiar with tactics yet, some boss encounters are significantly harder than T1 & T2. But I think you're being just a little too picky on my comment if you get hung up on T3 progression groups. I was talking about the larger picture, fractals do indeed and in fact get easier once you begin doing T4 compared to your experience doing T1-T3. When you begin doing T4 dailies it only takes 1 good player in your group to hard carry you through dailies + recs. And the majority of the time everybody in the group is pretty decent! Of course it helps a lot of YOU are that hard carry, then of course you will think all groups are good enough, but in my experience there's 3-4 people doing between 20-35k dps on most boss fights (there are boss fights where low dps is natural). But to conclude my point, most groups in T4 have multiple people doing 20k+ dps, and when you get groups like that, T4 is no much different than doing T1-T3. Of course when not a single person in your group does more than 8k dps you know it's going take a while, but that's outrageous in T4 to be honest. People will complain and get pissed off. If the only thing you do is auto attacks you can do 8k dps.
@@critical-thinker666 Yea ok? It is possible to skip T1-T3 true, but that isn't my experience at all. I'm telling you I do dailies multiple times a day, and I've done that every day for at least 2 years. What server are you on? In my experience the majority of players doing T4 outgear and outskill the requirements by so far, doing T4 is at minimum twice as fast, as doing T1 with new players.
I love your channel but your Inventory constantly opening is beyond annoying......
Is fractals really the best gold income?
not exactly the "best" but Id say best daily gold income.
its a pretty fun activity especially when you get to T4 fractals and CM fractals.
Getting ascended for T4 fractals and infusion is a good investment.
TIP: Parties after reset mostly run the fractals much faster than later ones.
Daily fractals + CMs is probably the number one thing I'd recommend players build towards to progress their account!
Not a veteran here, but as a kinda-fresh level 80, T1 dailies are quick wins to make 5g a day without traveling/sweating too much. Plus it gets you currencies that I feel will always be relevant, as opposed to map currencies that are only good to a point or if you target a specific collectionable item
@@MightyTeapot thank you I love you so much. Teapot in the comment section btw
the best is actually organised rushing T4 aetherblade fractal while being fractal god, but the dailies are not far behind. It's brainmelting but it's liquid gold, and lot of it.
