Guild Wars 2

I did bug this in game, but wanted to follow up with more information. As a Warrior, at level 60 I had ten points in each of my traits, except one that had five. I bought the Grandmaster manual for level 60 but couldn’t use it. A message said I had to use the Master manual first, which I had. So I bought another Master manual and used it, then I could use the Grandmaster manual. But it didn’t add any points.

I’m very confused. I’m not explaining this well because I may not remember the points exactly. Except for the fact I had used a Master manual but had to get another one, that didn’t add any points.

You do not get Trait points from the manuals. You get them for every lvl from 11-80.

Trait manuals unlock the trait lines.

Adept`s manual unlocks trait lines till 10 points(As in you can use 10 points to unlock traits)
Master`s till 20 points
Grandmaster`s till 30 points

At level 80 I wil have 70 points. So at level 60 I should have 50 pts. Grandmaster just unlocks the next 20 points. I see what confused me, now. I had the Master points, but a message said I couldn’t use the Grandmaster until I used the Master manual, which I had. I bought another Master manual and used it, and then used the Grandmaster manual. So, I spent a gold I shouldn’t have had to. And, at least for me, gold is scarce.

I feel your pain having done nearly the same thing, however, I think you can sell the ‘spare’ manual on the trading post and recover a chunk of your money.
