Note: This guide is meant to be used together with Legacy Mod by McCoy!. I can’t guarantee that the file is exactly the same without it. If you don’t already have the Legacy Mod, I strongly recommend it, as it is vital in my opinion. It fixes countless of bugs, makes broken mechanics work, and adds new content to the game. If you need a guide for installing and using the Legacy Mod, the guide is right here.

The Guild 2 is the shining successor of the ultra successful medieval life sim, Europe 1400. The Guild 2 is a unique mixture of RPG and life simulation in an immersive middle ages scenario. The player and his party become part of history and can even change it in real-time. Go back to the dark middle ages and found a new dynasty!

This time I’m going to show you how to modify The Guild 2: Renaissance scripts. We will be starting with very easy, risk-free modifications.

  1. The gambling exploit is an exploit which can be used at pubs to make huge amounts of money in very little time. To use the exploit, save the game, gamble, and then reload from the save if you lose. If you win, keep the money, save the game, and gamble some more until you have as much money as you want.
  2. CHINESE MOTHER-OF-PEARL ETCHED GAMBLING CHIP 2 1/8-INCH. Item Number: 5000-66727 Item ID: 659886 Category: WEB.

Before you do ANYTHING mentioned in this guide, make a backup of config.ini. It’s found from steamappscommonThe Guild 2 Renaissancefolder. You can either only copy the original version to your desktop, or do like I do:

  1. Create new folder to the desktop and name it “Modifications”
  2. Make a new folder inside the folder you just made and name it after the game, this time “The Guild 2”
  3. Create two new folders, name on “Original” and one “Modified”.
  4. Put the original backups to the “Original” folder. If you need to replace your modified files and want to keep them somewhere safe, put them to “Modified” folder. This way you don’t need to change names of the folders and files and can just copy-paste them from these folders back to game locations.

Now, when your original files are in safe place, download Notepad ++ from here. It’s free program that is made for text-based scripting, unlike the default Notepad. Sometimes one tiny tiny mistake in the script, missing space or quote, can break the code. Those things are simply impossible to find if one is using default Notepad. Also Notepad ++ has some very good features that we will cover later on.

….Seriously. Don’t even think about modifying scripts with default Notepad. It brokes everything.

Now, we have made a backup and we have the tools we need. Go to steamappscommonThe Guild 2 Renaissancefolder and open the config.ini. If it asks what program you want to use, choose Notepad ++. You may need to use “Find another program from this computer” and then navigate to the installation folder of Notepad ++. If it opens it in the default Notepad, don’t touch a thing, close it, and right click on the file. Then click “Choose the default program”.

Now you should see a file full of scripts. Scroll down until you see this:

You’ll notice that under it there is also [INIT-PLAYER-1], [INIT-PLAYER-2], [INIT-PLAYER-3] and [INIT-PLAYER-4]. All the changes that we will be making in [INIT-PLAYER-0] must be copied to the four others.

Easy way to do this, in Notepad ++, is to press Ctrl + F. It opens the search window. Click on the “Replace” tab at the top of the window. Copy the part you want to replace, per example Workshops = 0 in the first box, labeled “Find what”. Make sure that the part you are changing are not found from other pieces of code. If you write only Workshops =, it will also change these lines for AI. If you copy the full line, this will not happen, as player has Workshops = 0 and the AI has Workshops = 2, which don’t match. If you are not sure if this changes something you don’t want to change, do it manually.

Nextput the line from the first box, in this example Workshops = 0, to the box with label “Replace with”, and do the change you want to make; replace 0 with 1. The click “Replace All”. The program should notify you that the change was made 5 times. If it’s more than that, you changed something you did not want to change, if it says the text was replaced 0 times, there’s a typo. If you by accident change more than you should, close the file and don’t save.Save often, but only when you are sure your changes are correct.

There also is [INIT-AI-0] and so on. These changes affect only to AI, so I don’t see a reason to mess them up.

What this piece of code does, is that it tells the game what your starting stats will be.

HasResidence tells if you have a house, Workshops means tells if you own a business. Money and Married are quite simple.

Thing to take into consideration when toggling the “Married”-part is that game seems to prefer a character from your own starting class. Rogue gets Rogue, Patron gets Patron, so on. So if you don’t want a character from the same class, don’t change the value from “0” to “1”. Instead, start the game, choose a character from a class you want and use “Force to Marriage”-option. Pay a bit of gold and you have a partner almost immediately.

Also what business you get is quite random. Game seems to choose a business that

A. Needs lowest level

and

B. Is most common.

So as craftsman, you will probably start with either a mine or woodcutters hut, depending which one is most common in the area.

Patron uses same logic; if there is many farms, you get a croft, if there is a much fish, you get a fishing hut. Other classes, Rogue and Scholar, get completely random business.

Also, it seems to be impossible to start with more than 1 business; my educated guess is that this is because the script uses 0 = No and 1 = Yes kind of coding. The number after “=”-mark is not a number of your business, but answer to the question “Does the character have a business?”

So if you change the line

HasResidence = 1

to

HasResidence = 59

The code is broken and you start without a home.

But, let’s do some changes, shall we?

Change the file to look like this:

Now you start the game with a home, one workshop, with 10 million coins, and with husband / wife.

Also, if you add a line

Childs = 2

right under the “Married” part, you will start with two children.

Please remember to change all [INIT-PLAYER]-values, otherwise these changes won’t work.

But why leave it to that?

If you scroll even more, you find a part titled [NOBILITY]. Under it is a list of all titles you can have in a game, and what the starting title currently is. So let’s change this:

To this:

Now you start with the highest title you can have in the game. This is only an example, but if you don’t want to start as the lowest of the lowest, you can pick a little bit better title to yourself.

Are we done yet? Nope. There is more. Like the amount of EXP you start with.

Right under the [NOBILITY] part, there is a section titled as [XP].

Look for this line:

And change it like this:

Now you start with 50,000 EXP points. Again, only exaggerated example, but if you want to have higher skills to start with, this is the way to get them.

Only one thing left! Don’t want to wait turn or two for your mansion to be build? Look under the [XP] part in the config.ini and you see this:

Change the 0 in the last line to 1, and you never have to wait for your buildings.

Note that for these changes only take effect when you start a whole new game. Only time I managed to get a change to work in my game was when the change itself had been done before hand, but I had managed to broke the code with typo. Fixing the typo made the code work and the game could read the file properly, and made really no new changes.

Everything I have showed here is only series of examples. How much you want to change these is up to you. If you want to start as over-power nobleman, perhaps because you’re more interested role playing your character than playing the game “right”, go ahead. Otherwise, a little tweak here and there can make the game much more fun. Or, if you want a hardcore start, get lowest title, no money, no business, no husband/wife, no children, no EXP… And see what happens.

Here is a small example video of what you get with all these changes:

Guild Wars 2 Grendich Gamble jumping puzzle guide with detailed explanations and video walkthrough. Grendich Gamble is a jumping puzzle in the middle of Disessa Plateau, a level 15-25 starter zone for the Charr race. The jumping puzzle itself is fairly short and rather easy.

Puzzle start

Head to the Blasted Moors Waypoint roughly in the middle of Diessa Plateau. The puzzle is just directly north of it on top of a building.

Puzzle walkthrough

The Guild 2 Gambling Table

Head to the right once you are below the building and you will find a place where you can climb up some rocks up.Once you are up, go around the building and find a staircase that you can climb.

The Guild 2 Gambling Table

You will need to make a side jump here.

After you get up top, you will need to make these jumps.

And when you get to the final wood beam, you will need to make a long jump here.

Watch The Guild 2

Run around to the other side and make these jumps. When you are on the 2nd wooden beam, just jump to the stone floor.
