Guild Wars 2

Is it meant to be like this?

Im at the point where the main quest has a high lvl requirement than I and I cant just keep on exploring since the more I explore the higher the mobs get (the easier I die from aggros) and the golden hearts also has a high lvl requirement

So I figured grinding would be the best way to attain that required level, Unfortunately, its really hard to grind in this game for a low lvl like my character, its already pretty difficult its like Im grinding a 70…

How do you guys manage to still level up? – Quite frankly its just been 3 days since I played this and I am bored already..

Use the Asura gates and go to another low level zone.

u can lvl up by completing some other maps, doing some WvW, by lvling crafting, events, exploring, personal story, dungeons and much more.

but being in a guild might make things more fun and easy.

• Hearts don’t have a level requirement. Their more of a loose guideline.
• Gather. Gathering gives XP
• Events. Do them. Keep an eye out in map chat for people linking waypoints for events that are up, for NPC’s that ask for help and stick around after events; some of them chain.
• Explore. Vista’s, Waypoints, and PoI all give XP.
• Crafting. Do three Dailies and pick up a Crafting Starter kit for 3 Laurels. Apparently they’re supposed to contain everything you need to start crafting. Might want to wait on this though.

This is where you went wrong. People will say that you can (or even should) still grind in GW2, and they’ll be right – but grinding, in the sense of just running around killing the same stuff, is rarely the best way to level up.

Heading through the asura gates (there’ll be one to Lion’s Arch in your race’s capital city) to try another race’s starting area is a good option. Also keep an eye out for dynamic events wherever you are – they give much better exp than hearts, hearts are more of a vague outlines of places to go.

Explore! Points of interest, vistas etc give exp when you activate them. And when you’re of a level to do it, 100% clear the zone you’re in, you’ll get a nice bonus.

One great trick is bonus experience – the longer a mob has been alive in the world, the more bonus exp it will give when killed. This means that killing stuff as it respawns won’t get you much, but going off the beaten track to somewhere players rarely go can earn you a lot of extra exp. Also try killing creatures that aren’t automatically hostile (like moas!) – they’re not killed often so can have good bonuses built up.

If you’re into crafting, or even considering it, do some – crafting progress earns you regular exp as well. Even gathering ore, herbs etc gives you a little exp each time.

Hopefully this gives you a few ideas to start with. Give GW2 some time; while it’s not the game for everyone (no game is), there may come a time when it clicks and you get the hang of it, and it can be more enjoyable then!

You can powerlevel your character from 0-80 in an afternoon by maxing out the 8 crafting disciplines (or less using crafting boosters) if you have the gold.
Dungeons also give huge amounts of experience. Once you hit lvl 35, you can do ascalonian catacombs (explorable) and not only level really fast, but make a lot of gold in the process.
I didn’t use crafting and had no problem leveling my two 80s. Pretty much every activity besides standing in lion’s arch gives experience.
