Guild Wars 2

Hello, I have bought Heart of Thorns, ankitten ow leveling up my mastery track, but is it still possible to level up my level 80 character to gain hero points?

Thank You!

It’s been a while since leveling a level 80 character granted you “skill points”. Back in June along with the Traits 3.0 change, Skill Points were split between Hero Points, which you got via leveling up to 80 and HP challenges, and Spirit Shards used on the Mystic Forge. At the same time a level 80 character leveling generated nothing, no hero points or spirit shards.

So now you can only gain hero points through the map, hero points?

Beyond what you get from leveling to 80, yes, only ones from the map. In HoT however each Hero Challenge gives you 10 HP but really aren’t solo events.

Just to make this more clear. You get enough Hero Points from levelling to unlock all CORE skills and traits. You can go through the game with doing any hero challenges to unlock everything for the CORE class just from levelling. The Hero Challenges are really only used to speed up the process and used to unlock Elite specs.

edit: Counting all the HP’s in the game(vanilla and expac) there is a surplus of HP’s.
