On the southern end of Divinity's Reach, the Waypoint circled. Then you just head to the west, and you'll see the Black Lion trading company in their little alcove.
It's an easy one to miss, because the icon for the trader is partially obscured by the waypoint on the floor below it, if you're zoomed out on the map and looking for it.
A tip: If you see an NPC with [Directions] in their name, you can ask them to indicate where the nearest bank or trader is, and they'll mark it with your personal waypoint (an off-white star).
Coolio, thanks. I'll check it out tonight once I get home from work.
Heyo, I'm fairly new to this (the last time I played GW2 was the 2nd or 3rd weekend test and didn't sleep at all during said testing phase!) and I finally picked up the game thanks to the sale.
I noticed in the OP that the main GAF guild is on a North American server and that got me thinking - is there perhaps a GAF community on one of the European servers? I'd like to play with some lower pings and maybe switch to the NA server once I've gotten the hang of the game!

Welcome.
Without getting into the sordid details, there was an EU GAFGuild at launch but the two individuals who elected themselves leaders completely flaked out and left everyone high and dry. We've been holding guild charities and lottery events to raise money to help transfer folks over to NA servers ever since.
The good news is, we have lots of players from all over the world (Not just Europe but Asia and Australia as well) who play with us on Stormbluff Isle and report minimal latency issues.
My advice; roll on Stormbluff Isle and give it a try for 15 levels. If you find the latency issues are problematic, you can delete your character and start over on an EU server for free Because money / storage is account bound, you won't lose any gold you accrue in those first few levels and getting to level 15 takes about an hour and a half so you won't be too far behind time-wise. Up to you, but I would try a test now when we're talking about an hour or two of time lost rather than pay a lot to transfer later.
Welcome .
There is no longer a European guild anymore as that fell apart long ago .
Now almost everyone is on Stormbluff isle ( NA server ) and as a fellow EU player i can happily report that is no to very little lag on my end .
If you want to run with the guild i can highly recommend coming straight to SBI.
/ edit : Beaten .
Only slightly, but I'd rather have folks who are actually EU players chime in with their feedback. I always worry that I only hear the good reports and there are a few EU players who are maybe slipping through the cracks. I want everyone to have the best experience they can.
Alright, I'll give the Isle a try then!
The only time i encounter lag is when everyone else is having it .
Of course this can also vary connection to connection and provider to provider .
Also living in the country that is ranked 12th of fastest internet on the planet also probably helps .
But again , if there is any latency it is so small that i do not even notice it .

Getting to level 15 takes an hour and a half?! I must be doing something wrong then. I've been playing for a few days now and I'm only at level 9...
I've just been following the instructions at the top of the screen (go here to discover x, go complete quest y, take part in event z). Is there a more efficient way I should be leveling up? I feel like there's no plot at all at this point so I must be missing something.
My figure is probably off a bit (or more than a bit) since I tested it on an existing account but a new character when they redid the early leveling stuff. I roughly knew where to go and what to do which probably spend things up quite a bit. I will say, however, that it picks up once you can do your Personal Story at level 10 (each chapter throws you almost half a level).
You're fine, just keep doing what you're doing; enjoy the journey and don't rush it.

Every Tuesday is generally a good day to be a GW2 player when the Living World is running. You get either a trailer or an update.
Swede here. We have great internet here so that might be a part of it but generally I think it's completely fine being in Europe and playing on NA servers.
I transferred from EU servers to NA just before Halloween.
Halloween has a jumping puzzle that's widely known as the hardest in the game. It requires speed, timing and precision jumping. I'm really good at it and love it to bits. My biggest fear about transferring over was that I wouldn't be able to play that JP as well as before (or at all!).
When the update came I quickly found out that there were no problems at all.
So therefore I'm totally on the "no problem with being on NA servers from Europe" side.

Outfits are nice. Even alts in mismatched armor get to look stylish.

I wonder if it's earlier than usual.
Eh it looking to be a big update, so probably not.
I've done Tangled Paths on all my characters - each class, 80, ascended/exotics, etc. - and the difficulty between the classes is really noticeable. Admittedly I am not terribly good at some classes, but I can understand people complaining about the difficulty.
Necro was last, and surprisingly probably the easiest. Condition damage cut down the bosses faster than my warriors and guardian did. No check points were needed either with Deathshroud and fears handy. Necro is a class I would really like to play more, but the Dungeon issues and lack of mobility in pvp are real fun killers. Such an interesting class otherwise.

Enjoy the update assholes.
Hate you all.
Hate you all.
Imagine getting one of those nodes out of a BL chest and then noticing it's the elder wood one. Seems like a really weird choice considering how the others are much less common.

Right after I spend $30 on keys. Never fails. ;..;
EDIT: Loving the PvP changes. Might start doing more PvP again.

Ilove the new update to inventory .
Newly gained items from bags and rewards now flashes in your inventory eliminating having to search around on what you got from it .
Like wise salvaging now causes all items that can't be salvaged to have a permanent dark red font on them ( like the crafting tab ) making it so much easier .

"Banker, trading post, and laurel vendor NPCs have been added to the Heart of the Mists."
That's convenient.

That was Echos of the Past. Glint's Realm was in the Hidden Arcana story mission.
The last update was Tangled Paths. So you missed that one. It was pretty short, but with two rather good story instances, I felt.
The current one is Seeds of Truth.
To recap:
Man, we're spoiled.
