Guild Wars 2

Don’t want to compare the game to other MMORPG’s but I want to ask, in WoW, once you hit max, you can get heirlooms which speed up the process of leveling up your alts.

Is there anything similar in GW2?

Thanks and Regards.

They have scrolls you can get (year anniversary, not sure where else), that’ll level you to level 20. After that, there are scrolls in PvP rewards that you can give to a new character for a level a piece.

I usually just run around with the birthday exp buff on, but I tend to not try to level fast.

Could you give me the specific names of the scrolls and are they expensive? The PvP ones I mean. So if I get 80 scrolls, I can get to 80 in a matter of minutes if I get them on to the other character?

Tomb of knowledge will increase the level of your character by 1. I’m not too sure how much they are.
Crafting is a great way to get an easy 14 level, and it’s very cheap too.
Some achievement chests give small xp bonuses, but for the most part there isn’t anything like what wow has.

Follow a zerg in EotM. Good exp, wxp, loot, and karma.

Drop the bags in your bank and open them up on your level 80 guy to get better gear.

They’re called “Tomes of Knowledge” and (providing the wiki is correct) cost 20 silver and 1,500 glory each.

actually they removed glory, so you can’t get them like that anymore (unless you have leftover glory), though the PvP reward tracks still give you tomes.

Here’s the wiki that details how to get the tomes of knowledge:

Anyway, other easy ways are (most already mentioned, I think):

If you have a character over 1 year old since it was created, you get a scroll of experience, that will put your character at level 20.

Crafting. Leveling a crafting profesion from 0 to 400 will give you about 7 levels, since there are 8 of them, leveling them all would give you 56 levels. You can follow these guides to level up quickly, but it might be expensive:

According to those guides, you’d need roughly 150g to level them all from scratch following the guides, but that’s if you purchase all materials. If you already have a level 80 (or more) you probably have lots of the materials you’ll need in the first place.

WvW/EotM: Follow the karma trains. Just log into Edge of the Mysts, look for a commander icon (or ask for the zerg) and stay with them. You’ll get lots of XP fast that way, plus some badges you can use later to get some nice gear. WvW is usually the same the night before reset, once a clear winner is decided, most people start to just doing karma trains until reset.

I’d say tomes of knowledge are a fast way, but not a very reliable one because there’s really no real way to get lots of them relatively quickly, except maybe during special events. During the festival of the 4 winds, for example, in the Crown Pavillion you could purchase Tomes of Knowledge with 300 festival tokens, which you got by doing boss blitz (which was very good to level as well).
