Guild Wars 2

I am having trouble understanding the new trait system. How do i acquire new trait points? How are the new abilities applied? How many trait points can you earn?

1. Trait points are earned by levelling. You get 1 point every 6 levels starting from level 30, and then 2 points every six levels from level 66. In total, you’ll have 14 trait points – they’ve simply condensed the points down. Adept level unlocks at level 30, Master level at 60 and Grandmaster at 80.

2. You earn new traits by doing certain tasks or purchasing books with skill points and gold.

Please read this page and then ask any specific questions you have and we will be happy to respond:

Total trait points are 14 (and each new Trait point is equivalent to 5 points form the previous system that had a total of 70 points). They simply divided everything by 5 to simplify it.
