What should I do; Returning Player
Should I delete my characters and start over by leveling up a character to 80 and then proceeding to making alts with different crafting jobs and such?
No. Keep everything you have. It’s not important what crafting profession each character has, the only concern with crafting is which character you want to have ascended weapons or armor. If you need a ranger with ascended weapons, you’ll want to level weaponsmith and huntsman for example, on ANY character. Ascended gear can be passed around to any of your characters.
Goal 1, movement) Thief is the fastest followed very closely by druid and warrior.
Goal 2, gems) Get unlimited gathering tools and a copper fed salvage-o-matic.
Goal 3, WvW) Ideally find a reputable WvW guild. Otherwise check out metabattle.com for WvW builds, get on your servers teamspeak, and just learn via experience. Fighting other humans is always going to be hard.
Where you can learn about the game? Metabattle.com for builds, dulfy.net for PvE guides, and of course the wiki for general info. You can access the wiki in game by typing /wiki _. Like, “/wiki conditions” will tell you everything you need to know about conditions.
Yeah, I played WoW one time for a bit of time some years ago so I still have that alt mindset engrained on me for MMORPGS xd
Thanks a lot for the response!
I really appreciate this, so much better than trying to do things randomly without a plan!
Man just took a look at my first character’s first email… 3 Years old, holy crap, man I shouldn’t have stopped playing this game! Would’ve had so much done by now.
Although honestly I don’t regret it, I feel like I would’ve been really different as a person nowadays lol. But now I think I’m ready to sink my hours into this xD
If anyone has more info please reply! I’ll greatly appreciate it
Send me a friend request if you feel like you could do a better job at helping me in-game or through others means than this.
The Deluxe Edition of Heart of Thorns does not include any Gems. You may have meant the Ultimate Edition. I suggest you save your Gems until you are more familiar with the game; then decide what item(s) you most desire.
One bit of advice I would give is to leave your L80 Boost item until you have leveled a couple of character naturally. (I’ve yet to use mine, actually.) Pay attention to the tutorial tips given with each level-up.
The Wiki is a great resource for all things Guild Wars 2 (link above, and accessed in-game as previously mentioned).
Take your time, there’s no rush. Spend some time in the Maguuma Wastes before entering Heart of Thorns. In fact, be quite comfortable with the game and your Professions before entering that jungle; it’s quite a step up from Core Tyria.
Gather everything; salvage or sell any Armor/Gear you don’t need at the moment, there’s always more than enough coming your way.
Welcome return, and good luck.
Thx again
I’ll gladly use your tips ^U^
I would wait to get hot untill your character or multiple are 80. Since you cant really do anything in hot before that.
The fastest class is Daredevil. So get your thief to level 80 and unlock daredevil for them. Then zoom through everyone using steal and dash. Watch the world in slow motion.
