At level 30 traits unlock by giving you your first trait point. You can then allocate this point to one of the trait lines to gain a minor adept level trait. It takes two trait points to be able to equip your first major adept levels trait.

Here’s the wiki article on traits it should be able to answer all your questions regarding traits – http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Trait

Ah ok thanks so level 36 should unlock the major one for me. Thanks alot

Unlock the trait slot, but you still need to acquire the desired trait, either through some game action or purchase. The spyglass next to the trait show you what needs to be done for each trait.

Note that Anet has said this is being reworked, so I wouldn’t buy any, and only unlock the ones you must have. Or do like I do and just ignore them for now.
