Guild Wars 2

I bought a second Adept’s Training Manual. I have already used the first one when I was level 11. Now at level 28.

The text says:
Double-click to use. Makes your trait lines available. You will be able to spend up to 10 points in all lines. Resets trait allocation.

Now my question is:
I want to reset my trait skill points. Is this item meant to reset them?

If it is meant to reset them, it is not working for me and might be a game bug then.

No, it won’t reset traits, unless it is an upgrade over the book you used previously. The tooltip needs to be clearer about this. The person who sells them has another chat option, where they will reset your traits for a lot less than the cost of a manual appropriate to your level. If this wasn’t the case, then high level characters could use the basic book to reset their traits, at a much lower cost than they’re otherwise given.

Luckily you can mail the book to another character of any class, so it’s not a complete loss that you can’t trade them back to the vendor to get your currency back.

Yes, Buying the manual again after you have already unlocked adept will reset your trait points.

LED Head, polarity, thanks for taking time to answer my question.

I’ll check later this day.

If I recall correctly the books tooltip actually says that it will reset your skillpoints.

I’m lvl 74 now, but at lvl 25 or so i also bought a second just to reset them.
Something should be made clearer regarding the tooltip on these books.

Something like “Will reset traits unlocked by <previous book name>.”
