Unlocking waypoints in WvW?

[Sunsetter]

I'm trying to complete Living World S1, and a part of the quest is, for some bizarre reason, locked off within WvW zones. I have no interest in and no knowledge of WvW.

Is there a way to get to other zones (by joining other green or red teams somehow?)?
Are the waypoints always contested or do they ever unlock?

Thanks.

In WvW waypoints are unlocked by taking certain objectives.
If you want to go to a different zone, you just queue for it.

I assume you mean Taimi's request in the Edge of the Mists? I'm fairly sure you can just walk to where you need to go, without needing anything captured or unlocked.

Yeah, it's practically at the entrance so there's no need to engage with anything.

This pride in being ignorant of PvP always makes me laugh. You could just google it, but no, it's always "i don't know and i don't care to know, now someone tell me".

Yeh, that quest it at the entrance, talking only.

There IS an optional part on the quest, but purely optional, to get golem parts (for Scruffy) from the actual WvW area, where can meet other players, alltho most often not likely.. :P But can, when i did it i did 1st time not bump into anyone, no enemies there.. i did it at 3am or something anyways because messed up sleep schedule and the Mists map is not really that hectic..

But when went to assist my bestie, we were just hanging out and chatting while doing her story quests, there we DID meet enemy, i told her to kill the other player, it was at the center part with the 3 capture zones down below. She got 'em with her Druid, i was so proud when she even chased the poor guy, both clearly 1st timers on pvp, when they tried running away and she did get the kill and was shouting "I killed 'em, my first kill! I'll kill them all!" (before that she was afraid of other people coming) :P Oh how fast they grow, but the panic sounds she made while fighting were so cute. :D

So yes, with the extra optional part of the quest can have actual pvp action if some other players are there doing same quest. Most prolly shy and not attack.. but better be mentally prepared, it's not a big deal. Just go again if happens to die. If someone clearly experienced is camping there, just ask help on your chat if needs. But yeah, most often can probably do that optional part in peace also.

How do you queue for different zones?

The optional part is locked off, and you cant walk there (Unless your side wins the area maybe? Not sure.)

It's the optional part of the quest, I know you can finish the main one, but I'd like the see all of it.

Not sure how you did it, I didnt encounter any players, but it's all walled-off and npcs are invulnerable. Some even one-shot you on sight.

You went to the wrong place, it's on middle of the Mists map, down below where the spot looks to be. It shows it weirdly so you probably tried to enter enemy base (that does have one shotting guards), the actual item is on exactly at middle of the map. :) Trust me, i've done it twice now and escorted bestie there also. ^^ It just shows the location weirdly for whatever reason.

I'd follow this, it's 10 years old but the location is still the same:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_DkaQsuTmE

So can visually see the routes and place where it is. :) And there rarely is others, and i'd say most will avoid if avoids them.

But yeah, just go to the EOTM map, and there go to that middle location and underneath it, there is sort of bridges/ways down there that easy to miss at first glance if not know what to look. I was above it on my first time going rounds before realized it was down under the platform. :P

[Sunsetter]

@✨Saint✨ Thanks

@Lelu💜
That's just one part, I got that one. But there's 2-3 more, each walled-off.
EDIT: Nevermind, for some reason it showed several markers on the map, but the middle one had all the parts o.O.
Thanks.

[Fienyx]

Those extra markers are for people who start in those areas. That's where Tiami and Scruffy are sitting in those camps.

Yeah, i told ya, only need 1 from the center, the edge base markers are just showing weirdly like should go there, it can be confusing looking for sure. Doubt they gonna fix it tho after all these years. :P

[Sunsetter]

@Fienyx Gotcha.

@Lelu💜 Would be a bit more clear if they did, but who knows, maybe only I made this assumption XD

Nah i was confused for a moment also when did that 1st time, but went for the center after started thinking the each base is prolly same as in open world the map shows the portal routes and not just the end goal location marker thingy.. So yes, i was confused for a moment too. And i was running circles above the part for a while and even killed some guards there etc when thought they would drop the part.. Until found the below section lmao.. so i had my own silly times there running around. :D
