Guild Wars 2

You know, something I really miss about GW2 is the old post-80 leveling system, where we could level past 80, and get a Skill Point/Spirit Shard.

Some of us actually had good uses for skill points, and it was a joy to WvW or play in Cursed Shore because of the ability to level easily and get those Spirit Shards. The best part is that I can go to low level zones, help out newbies with events, and still feel really rewarded for doing so because of the Skill Point/Spirit Shard.

However, with that system removed, the only efficient way to farm Spirit Shards currently is either Champion Farms or Silverwastes Chest far. Both are incredibly tedious and monotonous.

Keep in mind that after HoT is released, and people quickly max out their Masteries, people will again be left with nothing to level.

Because the removal of Skill Points removed such depth for post-80 leveling gameplay, I am going to suggest that Spirit Shards be added to an Infinite mastery track, so that we may farm them again.

Please consider this suggestion!

Thanks!

well lets say you are right and people do quickly max out their masteries in theory you would be unable to select a track to level and it should by default go to spirit shard leveling shouldnt it?

Good idea! But i wouldn’t put spirit shards in a real mastery track, but maybe in some kind of PvE reward track, always active, perhaps enemy faction based. For example, when you slay inquests or complete an event against Inquest, you gain some points that fill the “Inquest enemy reward track”, which could give you, among other things, spirit shards. what do you think about this?

I imagine with the way GW2 is setup, it’d have to be a Mastery, since it involves Experience.

A year later and nothing has changed.

Please, this would be a great addition for people who just can’t keep levelling masteries for some reason. A Spirit Shard infinite track would allow people to have their earned XP go somewhere when they can’t progress for whatever reason.

This is particularly true for Core Tyria masteries, I have no need at all for the legendary track, yet I have no choice but to collect the remaining ~15 mastery points it requires just so I can get back the Spirit Shard exp bar. :/

As someone who doesnt do raids hence doesnt have the raid masteries unlocked, i would like this. Currently i get nothing out of the exp in expension maps.
