Guild Wars 2

Danikat.8537:

If you like exploring then that’s definitely a good choice for levelling up. My advice is just to remember that there are at least 2 maps available to you at any level, and down-levelling means you can play in any map below your level and still get XP and useful items. So if you ever get tired of the map you’re on (e.g. you’re in the Shiverpeaks and want a break from snow and ice) you can go somewhere else. You can use the PvP lobby and/or asura gates in cities to transfer without paying waypoint fees if you want to.

You can also do World vs. World and PvP at any level and you can switch between game modes at any time so those alternatives are available if you want a break from exploring.

Other than that I’d just recommend focusing on enjoying yourself. I find levelling actually seems to go quicker when I ‘take it slow’. If I can forget about XP and levels and just focus on what I’m doing, taking the time to talk to NPCs and listen to their dialogue, watch chains of events unfold (if you stick around after an event sometimes another one will start up afterwards, and put together they tell a story), try to climb into caves just because it looks like there might be something there etc. that’s when I find I’ve suddenly gained a level without even noticing. (I used to be able to get multiple levels without noticing, but then they added rewards for levelling up which made it harder to miss.)

I tried to do some WvW but I have to wait till I am lvl 31. I can do normal pvp though, tried it and was 2nd ion my team so.. i’m pretty much a pro… lol But I do want to try the large battles that WvW offers, but I am not high enough just yet. something I also have been enjoying is the crafting. Is that also a good way to get xp?

Hello GW2 community. I am brand new to this game, and I loved it for the 2 days I played free and bought it. Now I am cycling through characters figuring out the one I want to play the most. I am so far liking the Warrior and the Ranger the best. But anyway, I have a lvl 80 boost that I am saving until I get my 1st 80 the old fashion way, so I can learn the game better. So, my question would be what are some good “Entertaining” ways to level? So far I’ve just been running around where ever I felt like, and doing events and some hearts. I like the feel of exploring everywhere, the game is gorgeous on max graphics. I just want to make sure I am fully engaged through my leveling time. Any suggestions is appreciated, thank you.
