Guild Wars 2

hi!
i’m a noob in gw2..just a question.

i see that my character’s level downscales when in lower/level zones…

but i didn’t find any indication about exp.
does it upscale to fit my level?
ex: if i end 2 quests (hearts) in a lower zone i get same exp than doing 2 quests in zones closer to my level?
ty ^^

Kind of…

“A scaled down character continues to receive experience and loot that is comparable to what he would receive at his real level, but it is somewhat less efficient for obtaining experience and items than playing level-appropriate content.”

uhm…quite confusing.
it’s “comparable” or “somewhat less efficient”?

it’s obvious i get awful items from lvl 2 mobs..but exp is enough to justify the time i spend to end quests i did’n’t do in early zones?

it’s “comparable” but “somewhat less efficient.”

No need to change the wording around in the quote…it explains it just fine.

Also note that you have a good chance to get your level of items from any mob in the game that you kill. So if you’re 80 and kill a level 25 mob you still have a good chance at a level 80 item drop.

The exp and items are actually pretty decently scaled. I was clearing the Char starting area on my Sylvari Thief the other day and got my last 2 levels (78 and 79) done and a number of correct level greens. So I think weapons/armor have a decent chance of being the correct level (hopefully better now after the patch), but the “junk” you receive will all still be low level as will the nodes in the areas.

so do you think is reasonable to say that…i can level up anywhere i like?
for ex. now i’m doing all start zones and got to lvl.28 quickly ^^

Pretty much. You can really level where ever you like in this game.

You can level anywhere you like. If you are in zones where you are heavily downscaled it will just take you a little longer to level than otherwise.
