Guild Wars 2

So I just boosted to 80 and started playing the hot expansion. I’m working on getting my masteries but what I’ve noticed as I don’t have any hero points to spend on my Elite specialization. From what I understand you earn these points as you level to 80. But as I didn’t level and boosted how do I earn hero points to unlock my Elite specialization

You don’t really earn Hero Points by boosting or leveling to 80 for your Elite Specialization, other than to unlock it. Once unlocked, you must fill out the Elite Specialization to use all the Traits and Skills associated with it (with more Hero Points).

You can earn more Hero Points (other than the 398 awarded for reaching L80) by completing Hero Challenges in Core Tyria (1 Hero Point per Challenge) or in the release Heart of Thorns maps (10 Hero Points per Challenge) or by exchanging Proofs of Heroics (from WvW) for completion of random Hero Challenges (1 per Core Tyria Hero Challenges, 10 per HoT Hero Challenges).

If this is your first character, you might consider taking it through Core Tyria, and/or the Personal Story, or creating a new character and leveling it up naturally.

Good luck.

Thank you that helps alot
