Dialogue

Hail, adventurer! I'm here to help you succeed in exploring the Heart of Maguuma and other endgame content here in Guild Wars 2.

Can you help me with my build?

I can set you to a default, survivable level-80 build for your profession, if you'd like.

I need my utility skills restored to the default.

Done! Your default healing, utility and elite skills have been restored.

Can you help me with my build?

I have other questions.

Thank you.

I need my traits restored to the default.

Done! Your default specializations and traits have been restored.

Can you help me with my build?

I have other questions.

Thank you.

How can I experiment with my build?

Find weapons you like, then add utility skills to compliment them. Select traits that support and combo with your skills, then find armor, trinkets, and upgrades that maximize the most relevant stats.

Where can I learn more about builds?

Look on the Guild Wars 2 forums and check out fan-made build-calculator sites to research suggestions for good builds.

I have other questions.

What can I answer for you?

Where should I go now?

You're in the Silverwastes, and we're fighting a tide of Mordremoth's minions. You could help take and defend one of the forts here or escort supply dolyaks to build fort defense levels.

What will that do?

When the forts all reach defense level four, there will be two boss events that offer bonus rewards. In the ensuing calm, you can use shovels you've collected to dig for bandit treasure!

Where else can I go?

You could explore the other level-80 areas of Tyria or face the challenges of the Mists. When you're up to taking on Mordremoth's forces more directly, you can head into the jungle.

What are the other level-80 areas of Tyria?

Frostgorge Sound in the northeast is a frozen expanse. Dry Top to the south is a canyon frequented by sandstorms. The Straits of Devastation to the southeast is the gateway to Orr, home of the Risen.

Where else can I go?

I have other questions?

Thank you.

What challenge lie in the Mists?

Small-scale competitive PvP matches and large-scale WvW warfare. Also, the cooperative challenges of the Fractals of the Mists. Head to Fort Marriner in Lion's Arch to learn more about the Mists.

Where else can I go?

I have other questions.

Thank you.

How do I head into the jungle?

To head into the Heart of Maguuma, open the Story journal in your hero panel and follow the Heart of Thorns story steps. Be warned, though— the jungle is much more challenging than Central Tyria.

Where else can I go?

I have other questions.

Thank you.

How do I journey to the desert?

To journey to the Crystal Desert, open the story journal in your hero panel and follow the Path of Fire story steps. But tread carefully. The desert is not kind to the unwary.

Where else can I go?

I have other questions.

Thank you.

Can I level any further?

Now that you're level 80, you no longer gain normal levels, but you can train masteries once you unlock them early in the Heart of Thorns personal story.

What do masteries do?

Many different things. For example, one of the Heart of Maguuma masteries unlock the ability to glide, while one of the Central Tyrian masteries enhances your ability to help mentor others.

Before consuming the Level-80 Boost, upon initial arrival

Welcome to your level-80 trial! You've been outfitted with a survivable default build. You can experiment here in the Silverwastes before deciding whether to expend your Level-80 Boost.

Do I have to stay here? (see How does my level-80 trial work again? below)

You set my build? (see You changed my build? below)

I have other questions.

Thank you.

Before consuming the Level-80 Boost, selecting I have other questions

What can I answer for you?

How does my level-80 trial work again?

Until you leave the Silverwastes, you can undo your level boost or make it permanent by using the Level-80 Boost item in your inventory again.

What happens if I leave the Silverwastes?

When you attempt to leave, you'll be prompted to undo the boost or expend the item. You'll also be able to stay and adventure more if you're still undecided.

Is there a deadline for making this decision?

There's no deadline. Spend as long as you'd like in the Silverwastes evaluating whether to carry forward with this level-80 adventurer, or you can decide to use the boost on a different character.

I have other questions.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You changed my build?

Yes, so that your equipment, traits, and skills are all working in concert—but you can experiment with other options.

How should I experiment with my build?

Find weapons you like, then add utility skills to compliment them. Select traits that support and combo with your skills, then find armor, trinkets, and upgrades that maximize the most relevant stats.

What is this place?

You're in the Silverwastes, where the forces of the Elder Dragon Mordremoth are assaulting the forward staging base of the Pact. We could use your help fighting them back!

How do I help fight Mordremoth here?

Join other adventurers in attacking and holding the forts. Also help supply dolyaks reach the forts so they can increase their defense levels.

What will that do?

When the forts all reach defense level four, there will be two boss events that offer bonus rewards. In the ensuing calm, you can use shovels you've collected to dig for bandit treasure!

Can I continue gaining experience?

You won't earn experience while you're trying out level 80, but after you confirm your level boost and unlock your Masteries in the personal story, you'll earn Mastery experience.
