Every profession gets access to core specializations immediately when they enter the game.

Will characters from an account with the Heart of Thorns expansion immediately get access to their elite specialization as well? I tried searching this on the GW2 Wiki and couldn’t find anything on it, and can’t remember if ANet has talked about this.

I’m pretty (99%) sure they have said specifically that they are for level 80s only. Don’t have link handy, though.

Narrative Lead

From https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/hidden-arcana-creating-the-chronomancer/ (2nd to last paragraph)

“Since elite specializations are only available to level 80 characters, this has given the development team greater freedom to create skills and abilities that reward skillful play and continued improvement, even at the level cap.”

Hope this helps,

Two questions. If points are finite, with they add more each time a specialization is released? Also, I cant remember if it was said, but do sub-80 characters get elite specializations in spvp?

In one of the posts to the main blog talking about elite specs, they mentioned that pvp characters will have it automatically unlocked.

As long as you have HOT you will. Its the sentence before saying if you have hot elite specs and all skills will be auto unlocked for you. Same as how everything is for core classes now besides XIII traits.
