Chat link format
In the chat it is possible to insert links to certain elements within the game, like waypoints, points of interest, items and skills. These links are usually entered by clicking an element while holding Ctrl or Shift. The former will immediately insert a link into the current chat channel, while the latter will append it to the current chat line, allowing for further changes.
Internally, these links are represented by a special text command that can be embedded manually. When sending it then in the chat, the client will read out information about the linked element and display it correctly for the current localization. This page describes the format of said chat links.
The creation of such links requires knowledge about the internal identifiers and involves a fair amount of calculation. As such this information is not really useful for the average player trying to link to certain elements within the game. For those purposes, the mentioned method in-game is preferred.
Contents
General format[edit]
Following the skill template format from the original Guild Wars, the links make use of Base64 to encode their information. A link is enclosed within single square brackets and preceded by an ampersand, for example [&AgEAWgAA]
will render a link for the Basic Salvage Kit.
Header[edit]
The first byte of a link contains the header. It describes the type of the link:
0x01
– Coin link currently disabled0x02
– Item link0x03
– NPC text string currently disabled0x04
– Map link for waypoints and points of interest0x05
– PvP Game[1]0x06
– Skill link0x07
– Trait link0x08
– User0x09
– Recipe link0x0A
– Wardrobe link0x0B
– Outfit link0x0C
– WvW objective link0x0D
– Build template link
- ^ Automatically generated by the client
Data[edit]
For most link types, the header is followed by the ID as a (likely unsigned) 3-byte (24bit) little-endian integer, then by a byte of all zeroes. It appears as that the game currently ignores the value of this last byte, even if it is not zero. It is presumably present to allow for extensions. (If that is truly the case then the byte should be keept all zeroes so as to not lead to unexpected behaviour so should the game decide to make use of it at some point in the future.)
Coin link[edit]
Currently disabled. Specifies at least a three byte number in copper coins. Amounts in gold
or silver
have to be multiplied by 10,000 or 100 respectively.
Examples[edit]
Item link[edit]
The quantity of items is encoded as a single byte immediately following the header byte, before the three byte item ID.
Examples[edit]
[&AgH1WQAA]
– Copper Harvesting Sickle (Id: 23029)[&AgH2WQAA]
– Copper Logging Axe (Id: 23030)[&AgH3WQAA]
– Copper Mining Pick (Id: 23031)[&AgEAWgAA]
– Basic Salvage Kit (Id: 23040)
Wardrobe skins and upgrades[edit]
Additional data, such as the item ID of an attached upgrade component or wardrobe skin ID can be added by adding flags to the byte after the base item id.
0x80
(1 << 7
) binary:1000 0000
Skinned0x40
(1 << 6
) binary:0100 0000
first upgrade slot in use0x20
(1 << 5
) binary:0010 0000
second upgrade slot in use
See Bit field for an explanation.
When there's only one upgrade, regardless of which upgrade slot's flag is used, the game will always show the first slot in use.
Examples[edit]

Text string[edit]
Specifies the two byte internal string identifier and displays the corresponding text in the chat window (sometimes just a chat bubble), highlighted in a color that matches the chat channel. (e.g. gold for guild chat, blue for party chat, etc.)
Examples[edit]
[&AxcnAAA=]
– Fight what cannot be fought.[&AxgnAAA=]
– Any secrets you want to share?[&AxknAAA=]
– Any news?[&AyAnAAA=]
– Do you need assistance?
See Chat link format/0x03 codes for a list of the documented codes.

Examples[edit]
– Dr. Bleent's Encampment (Id: 56)
– Desider Atum Waypoint (Id: 72)
– Caudecus' Estate Waypoint (Id: 825)
See Chat link format/0x04 codes for a list of the documented codes.

WvW objective link[edit]
Specifies a three byte WvW objective identifier, followed by one byte of all zeroes, followed by a three byte WvW map identifier (ties in with API:2/maps), followed by one byte of all zeroes.
Note that the identifiers specified in API:2/wvw/objectives are of the form <mapId>-<objectiveId>
.
Examples[edit]
[&DAYAAAAmAAAA]
– Speldan Clearcut (Objective Id: 6 and Map Id: 38 (Eternal Battlegrounds) → Id: 38-6)
Build templates link[edit]
The first byte after 0x0D specifies the character's profession:
01
– Guardian02
– Warrior03
– Engineer04
– Ranger05
– Thief06
– Elementalist07
– Mesmer08
– Necromancer09
– Revenant
Following that are 3 pairs of bytes describing the character's specializations.
The first byte gives a specialization ID, resolvable against /v2/specializations. The second byte encodes the major trait choices as 2-bit values from 0 to 3, in reverse order. The first two bits of this byte are unused. Example:
00000011 00111001
- Specialization ID
- Third Trait Choice
- Second Trait Choice
- First Trait Choice
The choice values represent which of the three traits were chosen, where 1
is the top, 2
is the middle, and 3
is the bottom choice. A value of 0
means no trait is yet chosen.
After that, there are 10 sets of 2 bytes containing skill information. The IDs here are provided in little-endian format and refer to internal skill palette IDs. In order, each 16-bit value represents the following skills:
- Terrestrial Heal Skill
- Aquatic Heal Skill
- Terrestrial Utility Skill 1
- Aquatic Utility Skill 1
- Terrestrial Utility Skill 2
- Aquatic Utility Skill 2
- Terrestrial Utility Skill 3
- Aquatic Utility Skill 3
- Terrestrial Elite Skill
- Aquatic Elite Skill

The remaining 16 bytes of the chat link are used to encode profession-specific information, with the context changing depending on whether the profession is Ranger or Revenant. For other classes those 16 bytes are unused.
Ranger
Ranger build links will additionally include 4 more bytes, each describing the pets they have equipped. Each byte represents a pet ID resolvable against /v2/pets in the following order:
- Terrestrial Pet 1
- Terrestrial Pet 2
- Aquatic Pet 1
- Aquatic Pet 2
The other 12 profession-specific bytes are unused.
Revenant
Revenant build links will additionally include 16 more bytes.
The first 4 bytes are each describing the legends they have equipped. Legends are encoded in the following order:
- Terrestrial Legend 1 (the active legend, above weapon skill 2)
- Terrestrial Legend 2 (the inactive legend, above weapon skill 1)
- Aquatic Legend 1
- Aquatic Legend 2
Each legend is encoded as one of the following values:
1
- Legendary Dragon Stance2
- Legendary Assassin Stance3
- Legendary Dwarf Stance4
- Legendary Demon Stance5
- Legendary Renegade Stance6
- Legendary Centaur Stance
Then 12 more bytes are included to save the order of the inactive legend utility skills. They are saved with 2 bytes per skill, in the following order:
- Inactive Terrestrial Legend skill 1
- Inactive Terrestrial Legend skill 2
- Inactive Terrestrial Legend skill 3
- Inactive Aquatic Legend skill 1
- Inactive Aquatic Legend skill 2
- Inactive Aquatic Legend skill 3
The actual C++ struct defintion used to serialize build template links has been posted by Daniel Snider on the official forums.
Finding game IDs from chat links[edit]
For many templates found on the wiki, the game ID rather than the full chat link is required. This can be obtained by typing /wiki
, then holding Shift + clicking on the item in question. Pressing enter will then bring up your browser and return the wiki's enhanced search page which will decode the chat link into an ID at the top of the page. If the ID has been set in an infobox on any page, then the search page will redirect you to the item with the matching ID, pressing the "back" button in your browser will return you to the results prior to being redirected.
Notes[edit]
- Some item chat links will appear to not work correctly. Often this is because in order for the chat code to work, the item must actually be in the player's inventory.
