6. Start Gw2-Client, log in and start a game (i recommend for better handling windowed mode), Start the Gw2Buddy for the first time.


7. Select under Settings the CC Rountine Architectus and maybe change the Log Level to "diagnostic" for better support of the devs


8. Activate the Plugins u wish to run under Plugins


9. Load a Profile you prefer, but be sure ur in the right map and hit the Start-Button


10. Last but not least, if the bot crashes pls post in the Support-Sub-Forum with the log attached and a short description of the error (link below)

Excellent, nice addition to the guides

 

Nice guide. Very useful for newbie like me. Question on line 3:

Typo ? Rountines or Routine?

After unzip it, all the files is in a folder named 'Architectus', my question is I copy the whole folder in to the Rountines (example C:\Games\Gw2buddy 1.0.322.119\Rountines\Architectus\*files) or I just copy all the files in to the Rountines (example C:\Games\Gw2buddy 1.0.322.119\Rountines\*files) ?

Please advice. Thanks

 

Routines, and yes.

 

Just corrected the missspelling, wrote it yesterday late at night with my iPhone now everything should be fine, if somebody finds another error/missspelling let me know i will fix it, as soon as possible

 

Updated with the new Plugin currently in Progress "The Picknicker" as another recommended Plugin.

Btw. best to use the picknicker with food thats itemlevel equals your current lvl and sharpstones thats itemlevel equals your current lvl

 

I havent used sharp stones yet.
Are they crafted/bought from vendor, same as food?

 

Weaponssmith can craft shrapstones and at the trading post they are affordable to, here a link to the current ones in game at the Gw2db.com:

sharp stone - Search - Guild Wars 2 DB

they all give extra exp and +power as a percentage of your toughness very usefull
