Guild Wars 2

I’m level 3 with my engineer, but I don’t understand.. How can I get bomb kit? I want to be able to throw grenades. I only see rifle, pistol and shield spells

The bomb kit/grenade kit and all those are “utility skills”, which take up the skill slots on the right. You need to be at least level 5 (or 6?) before you unlock these sets of skills, so you’ll only be able to use your weapon skills for now.

Utility skills are unlocked with skill points that you get from leveling up past 5 or completing skill point challenges. For the bomb kit or grenade kit specifically, you’ll probably have to buy a few other utility skills before you can unlock those ones, as the order you purchase utility skills in is done through a tree.

There’s a section in your hero screen concerning skills, and you’ll be able to see the utility skills in here when you level up some more.

The kits, are not weapons, they are utility bundles that are unlocked at the earliest of level 5.

The first you can unlock is grenade kit, as it is a tier 1, that costs 1 point. Bomb kit needs 3 points, and is tier 2, so that needs at most level 13, but if you unlock skill points, in the world it should be sooner.

The ONLY thing that I would change in his post is where he says the skills go through a tree. where its more like a tier system. trees usually have branches. But that is just extreme nitpicking.

Edit: Ryaan says he just started and was wanting to know how to get the bomb skills, so clearly he didnt know that they where utility skills, and being brand new probably doesnt know about other features like what a weapon kit is or what skill challenges are or even what level you get your first skill point to get utility skills.

These are all things a brand new player would not know.

new to the game still don’t understand any of the above comments for “how to get bomb kit.” that unlocking a skill tree or tier is complete bs, when there is NO way when adding skills to see what you need to unlock what you want. All i see from the above posts is that NONE of you know how to unlock a certain skill and many skill points are now wasted. Thanks for nothing guys.

The wiki has a nice breakdown of “skills” here: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Skill

I’m not sure what else we can tell you. You have to collect the little blue chevrons as you play, and use those to unlock new gadgets, kits and devices. I’m sure you’ll be able to figure it out once you find your skill page, though you’ll likely need to continue leveling up past lvl 5 before you can access grenades and bombs.

Hello frands! Vee Wee here #1 Engi NA and world first rank 80!

I am sorry you are having difficulty with your skills! Golly gee willikers it sure was confusing for me when I first started! I will try to explain it for you!

Your first utility slot is unlocked at level 5! That’s also when you start getting skill points on level up! If you go to your Slot Skills window you’ll see 3 categories of skills that you can unlock! They are Healing, Utility, and Elite! For utility there are 3 lines of abilities to choose from! The utilities in the first line all cost 1 skill point each! The utilities in the second line cost 3 skill points each! And finally the utilities in the last line cost 5 skill points each! To unlock the second line, you need to unlock 5 utilities from the first line! To unlock the third line, you need to unlock 5 utilities from the second line!

To unlock a skill, make sure you have enough skill points and simply click on the ability you want to unlock! Then confirm your selection and voila! Then you’ll want to put whatever you just unlocked into your empty utility slot! If you have multiple abilities unlocked, you can swap between them! At level 10 you unlock your second utility slot, and at level 20 you unlock your third and final slot! I recommend getting Device or Weapon Kits first as they are basically extra weapons you can use and swap to with no cooldown as opposed to things like Gadgets or Elixirs which are a one time use with a long cooldown!

Bomb Kit is a tier 2 utility! If you want to unlock Bomb Kit, you’ll need to first unlock 5 skills from the first line of utilities! Then you can put 3 skill points into Bomb Kit and it will be unlocked! Wahoo!

Finally, Skill points are never truly wasted! You have infinite skill points as long as you keep leveling up! You will be able to unlock all of your abilities well before you reach level 80! Also, you can level up past 80! You won’t gain a level but you’ll gain a skill point! Skill points are used as currency at high levels!

I hope that helped my frand! Wahoo! Bye frands!
