Guild Wars 2: How To GET STARTED At Level 80 (2023 New Player Guide)

he called me out good in the first 20 seconds....

Ty for the info, big help

I thank you so much for advice of action camera! Its definetily the best feature)

Great vid! Keep it up!

@Bloom, What is that (1), (2), (3) ... (6) in the equipment slot? I should use 6 gems in that equipment?

People that pronounce H with an h in the beginning get my blood boiling.

YOU ARE A HERO thx so much for that action camera

Old but gold

Thanks for this, I just returned after many years and felt very confused. This helped a ton.

Oof thats alot of information for a beginner. 😂 Im just going to keep my lvl 80 booster and continue with my lvl 24 character for now.

This is very helpful.

I could have used this back in 2012 when I first tried GW2. I leveled a thief to 80, and was like "now what??" So I gave it up. Back then no expansions and people were still figuring out the game. On returning, there is SO much more content at 80 and just sinking my teeth into all of it.

Go to PvP to test out builds, weapons, stats and elite specs without having to pay or unlock anything! (On the golems)
Best way to find a build you like in my opinion.

Just it see how it flows and how much damage you do

Thank you so much for this video! This videoand action cam has returned me to GW2 after an 8 year hiatus, and the game has finally stuck.

How did you offset the camera? :O

This there a way to see how many condition stacks a skill will do? For example, I was noticing on dagger 1 thief it will cap out at 4 bleeding and 8 poison.

Getting into this and im so genuinely happy . Took the 80 character boost went to wnd of dragons im in love. I feel like im 12 playing wow again

bro i started with guild wars 2 and then i was interested in endgame. i looked around for content creators and you are probably the most entertaining one. Crispy video

Just reached level 80 with my first character. Thank you very much! :) I absolutely love this game.

How do i get one of these sets at lvl 80 without unlocking the trade post?

Man, I haven't played GW2 since before there were even Expansions to it. Decided to jump back into it recently. This video has been super helpful! I feel like I went from drowning, to at least being able to tread water lol.

Thank you so much

Great content and presentation style ! Thank you so much ;-)

You can gets ascended trinkets, armor and weapons easily by playing wvw and sticking with the Zerg. They cost 5g skirmish points and battles of memory, all which you can receive from just playing wvw. I fully geared ascended by just killing lords and other players 😂

Gotta hate starting the game, getting your level 80 boost then getting locked out of trading post for 5 days for verification... good start NCSoft

Very informative and thoughtful. Thank you

I'm sorry what??? End of Dragons? A DLC is the one that contains important mechanic tutorials for the game????

Hi, i like necro and to play with staff. Can i play jus with one set of weapons?

Thanks for this video I started the game when it came out got one character to 80 made a few alts then left didn't know what i was doing then and still don't but your video helped me at least start to understand the basics most appreciated

Berserker gear can be found in dungeons. Quite fun to play, sadly no players :(

Great guide my man! Also shoutout to the people in the comments leaving tips! They help a lot as well!

I appreciate that you tried to make it as simple as possible. But being on lvl 75 on my first character, I still didn't get a lot. Will have to rewatch later.
Thanks!

I just started playing, so I really appreciate the video and advice. I definitely feel lost after joining so late.

I've played the below 80 part until this year and now i decided to go beyond(before it was just a small escape from other mmos for me ) now it feels like there are lots of chores so i'm having second thoughts if its worth the boring part (hero points etc.)

Mega info overload. Loved it! Just swapped to gw2 from my 16yr WoW journey. Still having a hard time even deciding what class to play, they all look and feel amazing!

Are those prices all trading post? Cuz I can't sell shit into that

I always just farmed the Citadel of flame dungeon for a day to get zerker gear fast because one well executed run took less than 10 minutes or so but I don't know if it is still viable or not, it was years ago.

This video is really well done. Thanks, dude!

damn this is the best video i've seen for new players

Great video! Something really useful to note is the Mystic salvage kit. You can combine one of each salvage kit and 3 Mystic Forge Stones in the mystic forge to get the Mystic salvage kit which has 250 uses and the same tier as the Master's, which makes it around 1.5 gold cheaper than buying the equivalent 10 Master's salvage kits.

The downsides of horizontal progression have become very obvious. My god. Tbh this all seems needlessly complicated compared to how streamlined every other mmo is.


But it doesn’t seem like the community dislikes this stuff. In WoW, if an expansion has just 2-3 new systems the entire community collectively hates on it. But this game filled to the brim with systems on top of systems and it’s received fine.

Thx for this vid. Ive returned to GW2 after years! One question though... I just reached 80 with my newly created ranger and...I cant unlock my elite specks. Is there anywhere I have to go for that?

I got about a quarter of the way through the video before I realized- Hey, I know that voice! That's Austin the editor for Skill Up's channel! Forgot you had your own channel man. Great video, I've subbed!

If your mastery bar is full, extra earned XP does NOT vanish into the ether. It accumulates and you receive spirit shards.

Awesome video, thanks mate. I feel you're talking directly to me haha - I literally boosted and have no damn clue what Im doing.

This video was very good, thanks.

I felt so overwhelmed, thanks for the guide!

you say you read all the comments, but.. for how long? like all of them on day one.. or like this one as well, 6 months in? xD
