Guild Wars 2

Karma Train in Eotm with a birthday booster, WvX booster and a WvW booster for 200% increased level gain gave me more hero points much faster than what I was gaining in HoT.

Each level gets you 2-5 coins which you can trade in for hero points at a 1:1 ratio. If you’ve got a good commander then you’ll get around 5-6 levels an hour.

These 5-6 levels translates into 10-20 hero points on average. However just doing Hero Point farming in the Vanilla game is almost as fast if you have Waypoints. Farming Hero Points in HoT is only worth it if you’ve got some masteries to gain access to the skill points.

I was relatively prepared for HoT and had 170 hero points saved up.

HoT hero points are faster as they each count as 10 points. However, you need to grind masteries in order to grind hero points. And some hero points require you to have a large group of people, for example to kill a champion that spawns. So arguably, it’s likely slower at first, but after you get the masteries, probably faster in the long run.

That said, the entire thing is a bit ridiculous. 400 points is overkill and just blatant grind. It’s doable on a few characters, but grinding 3,200 hero points just to unlock all the elite specs that, really, you should be using while you play HoT, not after you play it, is a bit ludicrous. Heaven help you if you have more than 8 characters you want to unlock as well.

I spent my day in the jungle and only have maybe 100 points to show for it…. I’ll be in EOTM from now on… sounds like a much better deal.

Or you’re on a server without a point flipping train.

I tried doing that, but every single WvWvW map was empty. I did manage to get the points I needed in the jungle, but it took me hours to do so, and by the time I was done, I didn’t even want to look back at it.

Every single hero point bar one was completely dull, and the one that wasn’t was one that was supposed to be mastery gated that I ended up accidentally exploiting past by chaining invulnerability during the channeling phase because I thought that it was a puzzle.

i might do that as well….eotm might be boring but it also has some kind of meditating capabilities lol since you can do other stuff while doing it…and you gain wvw ranks and badges as well…. i think its of course worth it to get the masteries and stuff with your main, but after that meh
