Guild Wars 2

Hey all I am curently leveling a Mesmer who is at 35.
I heard that the EOTM is a good place to level but was wondering if anyone could give me advice on it.

Thanks alot

1. Go to EOTM.
2. Follow the commander.
3. Try not to fall asleep.
4. Ding! you leveled up.

Just make sure you use a focus for swiftness and blink so you don’t get too far behind. And follow whatever the rest of the people are doing.

Oh ok wow its that easy cool thanksmalotmfor the help guys.

x/focus+greatsword. Just make sure you tag the big bosses.

You can level using Edge of the Mists, but if this is your first 80 I feel like its a really bad idea to not level the traditionally way.

Sure it will be several times harder, and harder still as a mesmer, but if you ignore the challenge of open world leveling and immersing yourself in the personal story, then you’ll hit 80 and know very little about the game or your class or what to even do in the game. Using the Eotm will also set you behind on map completion, which is important so you have waypoints in every zone you need to go to or so that you’re not massively behind if you every want to make a legendary and have to complete maps for it.

The advantage of Eotm leveling is that you get badges of honor which can buy you exotic (2nd best) gear when you hit 80. This makes gearing up for armor/weapons easier before you start getting ascended trinkets with laurels, fractals, or guild missions, however be careful that you don’t put valuable runes or sigils into WvW badge gear because you can’t salvage those, but it could be nice placeholder while you farm a dungeon exotic set that you can salvage, so you can keep the upgrades if you ever get ascended weapons.

Anyway its up to you whether you want an easy leveling experience that takes you away from learning and immersing yourself in the game, or if you’d prefer a much harder way to level that lets you get to know the game world better. That depends on what your trying to get out of GW2 though, and I’ve listed the pros and cons of each.

Hey thanks for the reply. I actualy have 3 level 80’s already but have not played since before EOTM came in.

OH! My mistake, I assumed you were a new player that had never played this game before, in which case leveling with Eotm only would make you miss out on the basic premise of the game, but since you have other 80s its perfectly fine to streamline the leveling process as much as possible.

Yeah only pain would be is map compleation later on :/
Still I want to try the EOTM
Is there a badge vender in EOTM or do you have to go into EB??

They should be in EGB and any BL

Be careful with using WvW badges to purchase armour or weapons as these cannot be salvaged if you want to remove any expensive runes or sigils you might put into them. You buy extractors in the gem store but that costs gold/$$.
