Guild Wars 2

as title.

All I got is the wvw blue xp bar. I’ve watched some youtube videos to confirm there definitely should be a yellow bar. Do I have to adjust some settings for it? My character is level 64 trying to level up for PvE in WvW.

Yeah there is no regular exp anymore in WvW, isntead you get tomes of knowledge from ranking up etc, that way you can level up alts without being an upscaled hinderance.

Basically keep playing and you’ll get your levels, just in a different form. However if you do have a lvl 80 toon, do yourself and everyone else a favor and get the tomes on that toon and use them on the one you want to level.

Like Rayden said, go into WvW with a level 80 character, it’s more fun for everyone including yourself. Leveling experience in WvW no longer comes through a yellow bar, but rather through reward tracks and rank-up chests, and the tomes of knowledge those give you are usable on any of your characters.

If by chance the lvl 64 is your first character though and going into WvW on an 80 isn’t an option, you might want to rethink that approach from the bottom up. There isn’t a lot in the game world that you can’t do just as well on a level 64, and you’ll get to level 80 just by running around the world, uncovering the map and tagging the odd event here or there, in no time. Send your level 64 into the world to unlock the basic waypoints you are interested in (dungeon entrances, world bosses, Silverwastes for access to HoT maps etc.). You’ll have to do it anyway, and by doing it now you’ll also grab some quick experience to quickly gain the remaining levels.

A warning though: The game won’t feel much different at level 80 than it does at level 64 (excepting access to a few higher-level maps) .
