Guild Wars 2 Wiki:Renown heart formatting
This page illustrates a common way to format renown heart articles. Renown heart articles use the {{Heart infobox}} template, along with the {{Heart completion message}} template.
Heart progress per action[edit]
Tracking[edit]
Created a squad, uncheck "view as grid" and if you're nearby an heart it'll show you an icon which you can mouseover. If you don't own a commander tag: Create a squad on lfg and delist it.
Many actions have decimal values not discernable in the default UI, and require performing multiple times to get an accurate number. If the heart UI glows, but percentage didn't change, it means a sub 1% progress gain.
Special cases[edit]
When completing events with harder opponents such as elites, higher participation may provide more progress. Try to isolate these values to get a range: without interacting with the enemy, and by completing the event solo.
Actions never have any randomness, if one enemy gives progress and another does not, there is some difference between their properties, such as being spawned by a different action, patrolling versus guarding, related to an event, etc.
If an anomaly does not give progress when similar actions do, considering listing it as "No heart progress" to note that it is known. This also applies to events which do not give progress on completion, but spawns enemies or actions that do give progress.
