Guild Wars 2

Hi, I haven’t play for almost 2 years, only here and there for HoT story and for Living Story, and I kinda want to get back into it. I got so much free time now that I am done with college.

My questions are regarding how much has changed? Mostly about rewards and drop loot. Are World Bosses even viable, do they drop or give anything that could help me in crafting Ascended Gear and Legendary Weapon. What about exp, does those events give enough fast exp so I can level up Central Tyria Masteries?

I did like World Bosses and it would be great if they are viable in more then just enjoyment!

I did not really like Silverwastes farm, it’s so boring, even if it gives nice cash, but I do not feel like I am playing a game!

I would be okay with playing Fractals, WvW, Dungeons, World Bosses…maaaybe HoT events (tho I do not really like playing events).

So, what do you advice me if I want to make Bolt (I have Gift of Mastery, 80% done Gift of Fortune and no Zap and like no Charged Lodestones), craft Ascended Gear and getting Tyria Masteries?

Thanks for help! I’m just seeing a lot have changed since then in loot drops so I need update

Lots of things, and nothing at all, have changed: all the things are still useful and viable, and I don’t recall a single instance of being alone for any world boss other than the triple worm, or being stuck on an overflow map.

XP comes more than fast enough that you are likely to wind up gated on mastery points before XP is a pain; make sure you unlock autoloot as soon as possible in the core mastery tree, so that you get that awesome. Otherwise just whatever order, really, is fine.

Everything gives rewards that can be used for getting ascended gear — some bosses drop them directly (hi, Teq), but even without you get salvagable gear and items that you can sell for gold, and use that to purchase what you need. The GW2 economy is gold-mediated and quite liquid, so like real life, you don’t have to do the thing yourself, you do anything, turn that effort into cash, and the cash into the thing.

You can absolutely do just the things you listed, and achieve all those goals. Don’t stress, it’ll happen. Those are all stretch goals, though, so you shouldn’t expect to quickly achieve them no matter how you focus down.

yeah, after today’s day I am convinced that all you have to do is just play! everything comes from everywhere and there is multiple way to get something ^^ that makes it so much easier!

Charge Lodestones are fairly easy to get now with the Map Bonus system

Especially if you unlock the pact supply mastery, and purchase the “pact scout mapping materials” or whatever they are from the vendors daily, for karma. Those deliver instant map rewards on consumption, and you can bank them until you get what you need.
