— In-game description

The Level-80 Boost is an item awarded to players who purchase Guild Wars 2 expansions. It comes bundled with various items and a free shared inventory slot, and allows underleveled characters to preview max-level play before committing to consuming the boost.

This item can also be consumed by characters already at level 80.

Acquisition

• Gift awarded to players upon purchasing expansion packs:
  • Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns
  • Guild Wars 2: Path of Fire
• Upon use of Black Lion Instant Level 80 Ticket

Contents

The following items are granted upon choosing to permanently consume the boost:

•   Level 80 Waypoints Unlocked (consumed instantly upon acquisition)
•   Level-80 Boost Package
•   Level-80 Equipment Package (characters already at max level only; other characters will already be wearing their new equipment from the preview)
•   Package of Old Equipment (characters being boosted to 80 only)

Preview

Using this item on a character who is below level 80 will grant the option to preview max-level play in The Silverwastes; the item can then be used again to decide whether to level up permanently and consume the boost, or to end the trial and keep the boost.

Characters already at level 80 will not be given the option to play the trial, though they will be teleported to The Silverwastes upon choosing to permanently consume the boost.

Starting the trial will teleport you to next to Quartermaster Criswell in Camp Resolve and initiate conversation with him. Your character will be wearing temporary level 80 gear (existing gear will be safely stored in Package of Old Equipment in your inventory) and their build will be changed to one of the builds shown below. You will be unable to leave the Silverwastes until you either consume the boost or choose to end the trial.

Notes

Anomaly:

Leaving the Silverwastes on an elementalist who is attuned to an element that has not yet been unlocked allows the player to use that element until the player attunes to a different one.

• The first purchased Boost will appear in a new shared inventory slot. It does not appear until you log out and back in. The only way to remove it from this slot is to consume it; the slot will remain available for use afterwards. The second purchased Boost will stack on top of the existing Boost (If you still have one), leaving the shared inventory slot it came with free for use.
• Consuming this item is a permanent action and cannot be undone. You will be prompted by a confirmation box before it is consumed.
• Boosting a character to level 80 in this way does not reward any level rewards (with the exception of stats and unlocks).
• Once the boost has been permanently consumed, you may use the Waypoints to travel to a starting area, or travel East to Brisban Wildlands.
• Level 80 gear you are equipped with when entering the trial will have its skin unlocked for you in your wardrobe after leaving the trial even if you chose to undo the boost.
  • This gear shares a skin with crafted sets. The heavy armor skin is Tempered Scale, medium is Rascal, and light is Winged. Weapons are Pearl.
• Level 80 gear that comes with this item cannot be salvaged or sold.
• Cannot be activated in the starting area tutorial mission, as the following message will occur instead: You must complete the tutorial before you can use this level-boost item.
