A comprehensive collection of Markers and Trails for Guild Wars 2 by Lady Elyssa comprising of 2800+ Trails and 17,000+ Markers [1], [2], [3]

Suitable for use with GW2 TacO (Online Marker Packs) and Blish HUD (Markers and Trails icon, Download Marker Packs), just look for Lady Elyssa's Guides. Please ensure your preferred option is up to date.

For more information on Getting Started, see here.

Principles

• Markers and Trails for Permanent, Replayable content only, no achievements or collections. If you are looking for achievements and collections you can try Lady Elyssa's Achievement & Collection Guides.
• Aim to provide smooth trails by:
  • avoiding un-necessary combat
  • minimising terrain obstacles, like bushes, rocks or trees
  • minimising the need to adjust the camera
  • why jump when you can walk

NOTE: When a Waypoint is shown on screen, it is also being copied to your clipboard. You can Press Enter to activate your xurrent chat chanel and then Press and Hold CTRL and the press V to paste it in to chat, then press Enter again to send it. You can then click on that link to show you the waypoint so you can go straight to it.
