Guild Wars 2

So I just came back and I wanna prepare for the expansion on my 80 Warrior. I just want to know what I need to do in order to access it? Like do I have to 100% the extra story or just finish the normal story that was with the original release of the game?

I’d play through LS2, if you have it unlocked. If not you’ll need to buy it from the Gem store. Just so you don’t have a massive story gap, and so things will make sense.

I’ve played it through with my main, and 2 alts. I’m slowly getting my other alts through the game.

You don’t have to do anything, but I would recommend going through the personal story, watch a summary of living world season 1, and then doing living world season 2 if you’re interested in the HoT story.

Gear up. Go for ascended if you can. Exotics until you can get ascended.

I made a bunch of ascended armor for my warrior since they’re talking about “rebalancing” mat drops especially from salvaging. Read: Deldramor steel ingots would be made less accessible and maybe more of them needed per armor. Also convert karma to linen by mystic forging mid-level light body armor (gives more scraps on average than others) because they’re nerfing salvaging rates.

Make sure you have a waypoint in silverwastes unlocked. If you have that you can start with HoT as soon as it’s released (being optimistic that there won’t be any bugs preventing us from accessing HoT).
