Guild Wars 2

Danikat.8537:

Does this work with other hints too?

Yes, it does. All F1-F4 skill hints and a few more work like this.

Many players are having difficulties getting all “skills & traits”-hints.

Here’s some general advice:
Most of the hints pop up, if you DON’T do what’s mentioned in the hint.
Sometimes it takes some time (10-15min).
Also don’t forget to actually click on the hint, if it pops up, or you won’t get it.

Examples:
Guardian virtues: Fight WITHOUT using them (10-15min).
Ranger pet charm: Stand besides a pet you haven’t tamed yet and DON’T press F (about 5sec).
