How to do dungeons?

[Landshark]

What level do you have to be to do dungeons? Where do you get em? Are there solo dungeons? Any help is greatly appreciated!

You’ll be notified via mail once you meet a dungeons minimum level requirement.

Ascalonian Catacombs is technically the ‘first’ dungeon, with a min requirement of level 30. Dungeons are marked with a brown gate symbol on the world map.

All the dungeons are intended as 5-mans. Although they can be done solo with the right spec (class) and gear, there’s really nothing to be gained by doing so. All the loot is personal, so you won’t reap 5 times the rewards.

You can do your first dungeons after lvl 30. Then you can click the LFG tool and see if anyone are doing the Ascalonian one.

don't be affraid to create a party in the LFG and ask for help in the description
usually people often do, when they notice it

Thanks a lot for the help, much appreciated

Fair warning, most players have everything they want out of dungeons since they are so old, so they aren't done very much nowadays. That will change July 9 though, there is a "Dungeon Rush Bonus Event" for a week that will make it very easy to find people for dungeons, so if you have trouble finding people, you can always wait until then.

GW2 shifted from the concept of dungeons to the so called "fractals", so there are only a few dungeons from the original game left, because they stopped adding dungeons, and most people completed them a long time ago :D
Fractals are also basically dungeons, but a bit shorter, so you might want to look into fractals if that's the type of content that interests you, and many people do them on the regular so grouping up shouldn't be a problem:)

Yes, now people are gathering for fractals or for strike missions, not really for dungeons anymore.

Fractals are more underground with a bit of puzzle jumping very often,
Strike missons are more in the open and with larger groups
(I prefer strike missions)

Truth be told about dungeons most players don´t do that cause you can´t solo them and even if you manage to solo them, they do not give a good reward for the time you lose making them, Arena.net should take cards in hands and make it or more rewarding or more easy to solo them as most of it is dead content cause anythings that not generate gold ingame is a wasted of time for most players, leaving content like this to be dead, you´re rarely will find a group on looking for group tool that they mention but that´s acounting that you got on the same time as a party wanting to make x dungeon to get x achiviement, so Arena.net should do something about it, will it tho? I dunno, I´ll hope you get what you want boy

This makes it sound as if only gold farmers play the game lmao xD
That's simply not true, the vast majority of people do certain activities for enjoyment, not for gold, and the gold farmers are a minority, a very small percentage of players in the game

It´s a way to see the things i don´t say people don´t enjoy the game actually I really belive this is the best MMO on the actual market but that´s doesn´t make it all good or that everything is just fine the way it is, like i was hunting achieviments just for enjoying the game and found this wall, like if no one´s doing in it you can´t get the achievement I was trying some of the living world 1 -dead content- (Does not get you gold) then the Twilight Arbor also no people doing it, I spend months on loking for group tool without luck cause like I alredy say before most player´s doesn´t not play anything that doesn´t get you gold or the ingame currency specially new players (All of them want an easy way to get gold, that´s why videos like from zero to hero are always popular on any game) and so much other content ingame it´s abandoned or it feels like it is, also if you´re a veteran in any MMO you should know that big guilds/clans/alliance/etc are just RTM guys who farm ingame currency to exchange it for real life money so yeah the mayority of players choose to do something that get them a peny...

Tbh Dungeons are the reason why gw2 is not bigger than it is. There are NO LFD, only af LFG, meaning people can gatekeep you from content. (they do)

They should get a LFD system. THis is 2024

not just dungeons, I found a guild, and there is no one playing in WvW or PVP. I can't find allies to party with. Are there better options?
