Guild Wars 2

Hi, just wanted to ask the forum a quick question about the instant 80 boost item, I myself have leveled 10 lvl 80’s and bought a extra char slot to use my boost so alls good i know how to use it.

my question is, if i bought HoT for my brother, who has vanilla/base gw2, does he get the boost, or was it only given to players that had HoT already last week?

wiki says its awarded for buying HoT, but im just double checking before i dish out money.

just it would get my bro more into the game, as he enjoys it as a game but is new to mmo’s and finds it a bit tedious leveling, but if he got the boost he would love the story’s, dungeons etc.

many thanks for the replies guys and gals

-From patch notes 19.4

Edit: A second time, same patch notes.

‘The Level-80 Boost item will be automatically granted to all current Heart of Thorns owners and to any future players who upgrade to Heart of Thorns as part of their purchase’

As Asrat quoted, all players (past, current, and new) who buy HoT will get one of the boosts.
