Hello!
I’m new so I can’t check it. Does Living Story season 2 offer only story or also maps? I’m asking because if it offers maps, I think I can’t get into to the Maguuma without going to the Silverwastes, right?

I don’t think Season 2 is necessary if you want to play Heart of Thorns.

Season 2 offers story instances, new gear and items, and achievements. The new maps that were introduced with Season 2 don’t require Season 2 to be purchased in order for you to play in them – so I would expect you will still be able to access Maguuma without purchasing Season 2, since you can run through those maps.

However, the story will be rather disconnected if you don’t play through Season 2 before the expansion, as it covered quite a lot about Mordremoth and what is leading up to the expansion storyline.

The living story season 2 only offers story instances (with achievements ), all the maps that were added are available even if you do not own the chapters. As such you do not need LS2 to enter HoT.

I’ll buy it but I want to start as a Revenant and I want to go to the Maguuma as soon as possible. Farming gold to buy gems to buy LS2 would be so frustrating.

Thank you Zalladi and dsslive

Remember, you won’t be able to take your Revenant into the Heart of Maguuma until it is L80. If you will be using ToKs, then that could be almost immediately.

Good luck.

Indeed. To get ToK’s (tomes of knowledge), you can get them fairly easy in game by doing sPvP or dailies. It is a bit of a farm, but if you start now you should have time to get a good amount and even get enough to get 80 (or 60 if you have a birthday scroll)
