Hi there,
I am going to start playing gw2 again after not having played for about a year. I currently have a lvl 80 guardian in full exotic gear, and only 50 gold. Even though I had a great time playing my guardian, I’ve always wanted to have a mesmer, so this seems like a good moment to level and gear one. The problem is that a lot of new content has been added since I last played, way too much for me to read up on. I have been sitting with 2 questions for a while which I can’t find a good answer for:

1. I have 100% world completion on my guardian and I do not feel like doing all those zones over again. What’s a fast way to level my mesmer, considering I have only 50 gold and don’t want to spend any real money on anything? I remember about just running along with big groups in WvW, crafting, running dungeons on my guardian and changing to my mesmer right before the end, etc, which one is the best and most affordable nowadays?

2. I’ve been reading about this ascended gear, which wasn’t released yet when I last played. I can’t quite picture how difficult it is to obtain this gear. What would you advise me to do on my mesmer in terms of gearing up after it hits level 80?

I would be very grateful if someone could advise me on this, as it could potentially save me a lot of wasted time and effort. Thank you for your time

1. Running around with the zerg in Edge of The Mists (kind of like a WvW overflow) is the fastest way to level nowadays. But doing some dungeons or completing some maps can certainly make things more interesting.
2. Get ascended trinkets using laurels, guild commentations, etc. Those can really boost your damage. But exotic weapons and armor are still fine at the moment and way easier to acquire than the ascended stuff.
