Guild Wars 2

I play a lowbie warrior (currently level 25) in WvWvW. I know the upscaling to 80 doesn’t compensate for my lack of traits/skills and gear. But I just can’t focus on PvE since I’ve started defending the realm. So, should I just suck it up and try to level as fast as possible in PvE, or is there an alternative?

I have no experience levelling through WvW. I have 5 80s and a 45. As a predominantly WvW player now, my one farm for the the day is the Fractals of the Mist daily. It gives decent rewards and a fair bit of XP. Plus your upscaled to level 80 and your farming fractal relics and pristine relics, which provide a number of ascended items which give the best stats overall for their slot (and more of these will be added in the future).

Without experience in levelling through WvW, I can’t really say. But my impression is you do get alot of XP at level 80 compared to other PvE events. Honestly, if I were you, Id farm fractals once a day and find anything you can do in WvW. Im pretty sure you will level fairly quickly. Make sure you get your dailys up. Follow the zerg to capture points, repair walls, escort doylaks, flip quaggans/dredge/hylek etc etc. Rewards for WvW are pretty low, but I think XP is the one thing that is up to scratch at present.

I found the sweet spot for xp gain in WvW is around level 50. With consistent turnover of camps, etc… I got my level 50 toon to 80 in four days of very casual WvW play.

Before that, I found the xp gained crawled …. Likely because i didn’t have the gear/skills to make a big enough dent.

WvW is a good leveling place im leveling ranger through wvw. i like it a lot. but you have to flip camps constantly. otherwise you waste a lot or time walking around and not gaining xp.
