Thank you Gilosean,
But one thing I’ve had trouble with is crafting, I see materials around the world and go get them, but I don’t know where/how to craft and where I can get required materials since I never have all of the needed ones.
And also, I’m level 6, but all of the hearts in my area are too high, and events arent very frequently near me. Any recommended starting zone I should go to? I’ve tried the pyramid starting zone, but I got lost…… and couldn’t find a way out…… :/
Another question – Is the game like this through the whole? since this game is very different to other MMO’s I’d like to try max level, but at this rate it looks like it takes a very long time
You can start crafting by going to a crafting station in one of the main cities. Talk to a crafting master (right next to the stations) to get started in a craft. If you can tell me what materials you’re having trouble getting, I’ll let you know where to find them.
As other posters before me have said, you can go to other starting zones if you’re having trouble with your current one. I would recommend Queensdale, the human zone, since it’s very easy to get around and there’s usually a high concentration of players there. If you’re still having troubles getting out of Rata Sum, let me know and I will try to help.
Also, GW2’s leveling system is different from the other games in that the rate of leveling stays even. In other games, you could blow through the first few levels in hours, but getting to max level later on would be brutally hard and grindy. Such was my first MMO, where you could level to 30 in two days, but it took you a month simply to get to 80 from 79, and that was only if you played many hours every day and did nothing but grind exp.
In GW2, leveling is slow at first. However, late-level leveling is relatively fast and easy. The time it takes to go to 21 from 20 is the same amount of time it takes to get from 79 to 80, and nearly the same amount of time as, say, 10 to 11. The time it took me to get my first character to 80 was four months, playing very casually without doing proper map exploration (filling hearts and getting PoIs), crafting, or personal story. My second 80 took only a month and a half- I explored maps fully on her, though at a relaxed pace, did my story, and mastered one craft. There are people out there who do it even faster and reach 80 in a week.
Also, if it makes things any better, in my opinion the first 20 levels are always the slowest and most painful. You don’t have many options for exploring, you have few utilities and traits open, and you’re just pretty weak all around. I find that leveling usually picks up for me after level 30.
Pretty much all basic crafting materials, I think after I’ve learned those I’d get in the swing of everything and have no trouble. Are all crafting materials easy to find/gather? looking to do Weaponsmithing
in each of the races cities, you’ll find asura gates which are big purple circles on your map. these gates will take you to Lion’s Arch, the main city hub, from LA you can get to the other racial cities. To get out of Rata Sum (the pyramid) you have to take an asura gate out, when you walk up to it it will be titled Metrica Province, this is that city’s starter area.
Thank you, is it like this for every starting area or just Rata Sum?, also which are the best starting areas? and how many should I be doing?
I have a Charr Warrior and Human Thief, both level 6, the Warrior has level 8 quests and the Human has level 10 quests
I haven’t left the characters starting zones, I tried to leave to another starting area, the Asura one, but couldn’t find my way out of the pyramid……

I’m new to this game, and I’ve been having trouble keeping in levels with my quests, for example, I’m level 6 but my quests are level 8-10.
Any way for me to easily keep in levels? or some way for me to get exp to get to level of my quests, since they are quite hard to do when I’m underleveled by a significant amount
