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.

I have other questions.

Thank you.

I need my traits restored to the default.

Done! Your default specializations and traits have been restored.

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.

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.

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.
