Guild Wars 2

So if you do NOT have HoT and gain an experience level after 80, what do you get for it?

Spirit shard. One, I beleive.

You get nothing from experience past level 80 without Heart of Thorns.

Well, not quite nothing. Your health will fully recover when you “level up”. You used to get a skill point for levelling, but when they changed those over to Spirit Shards, the reward for levelling was removed.

actually, you get nothing. spirit shards were removed from levelling past level 80 in the June 23rd update.

You get zilch just like before HoT and after the June Skill→Hero point patch.
