Guild Wars 2

I am returning to Guild Wars 2 after some time away.

I want to jump into Structured PvP with one of my low level characters but, a lot has changed within the game in regards to PvP.
Levels and stats are still boosted to 80/max but, the vendors are different.
I’m not sure how to obtain armor, weapons, runes, etc.
I am pretty lost.

Can anyone explain how I might begin with all of this, again?

there is a helmet icon at the top middle pf the screen. that lets you edit your build.

you can use any weapons & armour, stats don’t matter.

for more info i’d check out the new to PvP forum sticky (it’s got roles, build links etc etc)

ranked is based on seasons :

- We are in season 6 and we got access to in game leaderboard and solo/duo queue only.
- Your first 10 ranked games are placement games that determine your level (+ your results from previous seasons)
- There is a ranked reward track that gives you shards of glory + pvp currency ( I don’t remember the name ), with those you can buy ascended armors & weapons ( 4-5 pieces with the whole reward track ).
- You can go for a legendary backpiece. You need 4 sets of wings ( traded with league tickets ) and a bunch of gifts.

Pvp is still a part of the game where you have independent stats and fixed level. So you just need to get a build a rune and an amulet ( the helmet at the top of your screen ).
