Guild Wars 2

I was just wondering if the level 80 boost unlocks all skills and specializations. I started the trial and it seems to unlock them, but I wasn’t sure if that was permanent. I already have an 80 character and I hadn’t played for almost 2 years, but I leveled another character to 25 as a refresher to catch me up and now I feel like I have most of it down again.

I am mainly interested in working on my elite specs for my 2 characters, so I just wanted to make sure that I wouldn’t have to go back and unlock all the specs and skills again.

A Level 80 character is given/acquires enough Hero Points to unlock all Core Skills and Traits. Once all Core Specializations are fully complete, one is able to unlock the Elite Specialization. To fully unlock and use the Elite Specialization Skills and Traits, one must earn/acquire additional Hero Points (250, I believe).

Good luck.

A level 80 character automatically has enough Hero Points to unlock every single one of the core specializations and every single utility tree. That’s nothing special to the level 80 boost, any character at level 80 period has enough no matter how they were levelled. They specifically designed it that way so that any level 80 could have everything available to the core class (though stuff like elite specializations are not included in that, because they’re considered above and beyond the core class).

I can’t say whether the boost automatically learns all the skills and specs for you or just gives you all the points and makes you spend them yourself. But considering you can mass spend hero points unlocking entire “chunks” / wheels of spec / utility trees, it would take a matter of a minute or two to learn everything manually. So there’s not much difference either way.

Okay awesome, thanks guys. Just wanted to make sure because I heard you don’t get level rewards and I know that’s usually where the hero points come from (neglecting challenges). With my luck, I figured I would use it then have to grind all the hero points out still :P
