Guild Wars 2

Looking to speedrun my Engi to 80 as fast as possible – I hate the main story and really just want to get to 80 asap so that I can do the more interesting storylines.

Was wondering what the most efficient build would be to do that.

Thanks for any help

It’s my understanding that the fastest way to level up is through crafting. Then jumping on the EotM train with an exp booster running.

If you actually want to level through the pve zones, I’d say equip zerk gear and bomb everything. That’s what I’m doing.

Sorry that this does not directly answer your question, but it may help.

If you have the materials and or gold, when power leveling characters I use www.gw2crafts.net to craft my way to around 40-50. I’ll usually do cooking and a couple other random crafting professions. After that I’ll get all the Points of Interest in the cities and then grind with random groups that are running around doing dailies. I’ve done this three times and it took me a little over 2 weeks to hit 80. I’m a casually player; 1-2 hours a day 4-5 days a week, so if you have the time I’m sure it will go much faster.

I’ve been thinking about spinning up an Engineer. If you feel like it let me know what server you’re on and maybe we can putz around together. I’m usually on Sanctum of Rall.

Good luck!

Wow! Thanks cheshader!!! Now I must roll and Engineer

Some additional tips to help speed up leveling:

Get yourself a bloodlust weapon to swap out with your regular one, and try to keep 25 stacks up.

Always have a food and a potion/oil buff. Doesn’t matter which one, you’re after the bonus exp from kills. If you level cooking first(it’s the cheapest anyway) you’ll have plenty of options.

You could potentially farm black lion chests for boosters. There’s lots of guides on how to do this. That’s time you could be spending leveling your engine tho.

Make sure to remember to use birthday boosters to level 20 before starting with professions.

Get speedy kits FIRST before any other traits. Perma run speed will save more time than just about anything else.

Rifle 5 will jump a lot of places, but rocket boots will go just a little bit further, making some jump puzzles very quick if you aim correctly(OS is super fast!)

Eliteseraph.4970:

That actually doesn’t work anymore. I think it changed with the last feature patch.

OK then, just run around with a bloodlust rune in one of your weapon slots. Still better than most everything you’d use while leveling.

arrive to lvl 30 and then begin to make dungeons . Every 2 dungeons run if i remember you gain a level and it is quite fun
