Guild Wars 2

so..is it best to spend them now? or wait for hoth?

I used them up, but then i rarly use buffs for x min

oki so that if i hold on to them I can get hero levels faster when HOth comes? Am i correct in my assumption?

Here’s what I’m thinking:

• 1. Spending liquid WxP now gets you ranks, badges, and loot guaranteed… but it does not help you earn proofs faster for hero points.
• 2. +50% boosts can be much better than liquid WxP… when you are being really successful (taking Smc, taking a keep, rapidly flipping stuff, repeatedly defending a keep).
• 3. +50% boosts can be worse than liquid WxP… if you are spending all your time running back and forth for supply, getting wiped, failing to take a keep, crafting, leaving WvW, or going afk.
• 4. The relative values seem to be changing. Right now a keg is worth 25,000 and a drop is 250. The keg is 100x better than the drop. We know that the smallest booster will be 15 minutes and it looks like the longest 10 hours. If a keg is only 10 hours, then it will only be 40x better than a drop in the future, so you may want to use it now.
  “These WXP boosters vary in duration (15 minutes to 10 hours) depending on the type of liquid world experience item replaced.”
• 5. Ranking up helps you rank up. If you use all your liquid wxp now, you are going to get thimbles and drops of liquid wxp just from ranking up, and those need to be used or they will convert to boosters. If you wait and use boosters in the future to rank up faster, you may earn instant wxp rewards when ranking up:
  “In all other locations, liquid world experience consumables have been replaced with new, automatically consumed instant world experience consumables of equivalent value. While it’s still possible that on a rare occasion you’ll earn a keg of world experience, it’ll just be consumed instantly.”
• 6. It may take a very long time, but by carefully managing 15 minute boosters, you can get tons of extra WxP in the future which means more ranks, more badges/loot, more instant wxp rewards from ranking up, and faster proofs for hero points.

Just remember to pop a booster when the inner gate is almost down.

Pop a booster when the circle comes up especially in a keep. That will generate more WxP than no booster and consuming the vials. I am saving them to help speed up WxP generation on characters I don’t main.

From the blog post: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/earning-hero-points-in-world-vs-world/

In the interest of fairness to PvE players, we didn’t want to allow any WvW players who may have been stockpiling liquid world experience to instantly rank up a bunch of times and immediately begin unlocking the new expansion hero challenges the moment the expansion released.

On patch day, any leftover liquid world experience consumables in player inventories or banks will be converted into 50% WXP booster consumables.

So you use them now to get ranks or after the patch they will become boosters

The booster gives you 400 Wxp when you take a keep. 400 is more than 250. It’s a no brainer to keep the boosters over the Drops of WxP.

You might want to use your thimbles of WxP and over. There’s a lot of wasted time in WvW, and who knows if you’ll get 2500 bonus WxP, especially if they only give you an hour (or a half hour).

Öki ty guys:) I’l wait for HoT before spending them.
