Guild Wars 2

I am curious for anyone who insta 80 how far were you able to get. Can you unlock all 5 specialization lines ? (Minus Herald/Glint) . And speaking of Herald, is there any points left over to start banking them to get the initial 60 point unlock into the first tier in Glint?

I am trying to wrap my head around this before I make my character and spam all these tomes.

Levelling to 80 give the exact number of point to unlock everything base.
Left over is 0.

To unlock Herald you have to unlock all the core lines.
FIrst step costs 60 points.
Overall cost (including skins) is 400 Hero Points.
You can get around 215 Hero Points in core tyria, and around 400 points in Maguuma Jungle. In the latter region every Hero Challenge gives 10 Hero point.

;-)

The 1-80 experience is designed to give you enough points to unlock all the base traits/skills. So, yeah, you’ll get access to all four base legends and their skills, and all the Invocation line; but, no, there’s nothing left to spend on Herald if you boost. Still gotta get out into the world and do stuff. Hero point challenges in the new zones, though, are supposed to give out 10 each, so you only need to find six of those to start that final grind (or seven if you don’t grab a few in the old world first, since it looked like Herald needs 65 to unlock versus, say, Berserker only needing 60).

Nice, thanks for the info. That is weird that Herald needs 65 verses 60, maybe because we are so OP as our elite they needed to make up grind out a few more skill levels? I am glad at insta 80 I get all traitlines unlocked. That way I can L2P as I go gather up Hero challenges and get my Hearld on.

Yep, by toming it to 80, we are left with a bit of work, but in the first zone there is at least 5-7 hero points obtainable with gliding. That will at least get you your shield. I have been grabbing all the hero points in the starter zones when my guildies aren’t on.
