Things worth knowing.

I've put a few links on the right there which I consider to be useful, The Guild Wars site is pretty self explanatory, and the Guild Wiki is a solid source of information. The GameAmp site though, has some pretty useful things I just wanted to draw attention to.
First off, it has maps of Tyria, Elona and Cantha, which are invaluable. I've got the map of Tyria downloaded on my machine, and I load this up in Paint.Net (a free art package that's well worth downloading) before doing any exploring in that area. It makes finding specific locations a hell of a lot easier.
Secondly, it has listings of the missions, with explanations of what needs to be done to get the bonus for each one, and maps for some of them too. It's worth checking this out before you start a mission to make sure you aren't running around blindly, I tend to keep a browser window open while I'm playing so that I can tab back and forth to check my progress.
There's also a load of info about armour, skills etc etc.

Guild Wiki has a useful list of Builds and how to use them to get the most out of your characters offensive/defensive capabilities, as well as builds for specific missions. Builds, for those not in the know, are sets of skills chosen to work well together.

Two more things.
First if you fancy getting yourself a mini-pet, check this page out:-
http://www.guildwars.com/press/mediapartners.php
for details. Guild Wars recently announced that they are working on a proper expansion set for GW, as well as Guild Wars 2. To celebrate this, they are releasing mini-pets via certain magazines. PC Zone is the one in the UK (and is a damned good mag as well), and goes on sale today. So check the list, get a mag, and get your mini-pet.

Secondly, there's an event going on this weekend, as Guild Wars Prophecies celebrates it's second birthday, and Factions it's first birthday. Check out the Guild Wars site for details.
