Guild Wars 2

Hello

I may be a bit late or sound a little clueless but I would need some clarification for hero points if someone would be so kind.

So, I already have level 80’s and as I can see they have unlocked what seemed to match my build best.

My questions are:
1: Is it worth it to unlock everything or would it be better to bank hero points for a later use
2:We used to earn skill points 1 point for 1 level after 80 so I was wondering, can anyone tell me if this is still the case? Like if I get some levels with my level 80’s will it give me more hero points or is this removed etc.

Thanks

You can unlock everything your profession has to offer at level 80 and there is really no reason not to do so.

Whenever you ‘level’ past lv80, you will now receive a spirit shard, which can be used at the Mystic Forge to buy materials. Pretty much like your excess skill points were before.
You will find your spirit shards in your wallet.

1) You receive hero point from leveling and from Hero challenge (old skill point challenge on the map). From leveling you received 398 hero pts witch is the exact amount to unlock all the skills and core specialisation. So the only reason to not unlock everything would be if you want to unlock the elite specialisation but you don’t want to do 60 hero challenge (the amount need to unlock a complete specialization).

2) No. But you don’t need them anymore. We used to have skill point after level 80 because we could use them in recipe. But now they divided skill points into Hero Points (unlocking stuff on your character) and Spirit Shards (to craft stuff). Spirit Shard now come from drops, loot, pvp, etc. For now leveling past 80 is in-between 2 system and don’t matter at all. With the expansion it will improve your masteries.

You don’t get spirit shards for leveling. You can get them as drops, from dailies, or tombs of knowledge if an 80 uses it.

^ what he says then.

Interesting was wondering what to do with getting and spending those hero points after returning to the game…
