World Experience

World Experience (WXP) is the system of account progression in World versus World (WvW), similar to PvP Rank. When entering the WvW game type, the player's experience bar is replaced by the World Experience bar. Each character gains World Experience by completing relevant WvW activities, including killing foes, capturing or defending strategic locations from other Worlds, and completing zone-specific objectives. When the World Experience bar is filled, the character will gain a new world rank and receives one World Ability Point as well as various tangible rewards.

World Ability Points earned on one character are granted account-wide, which allows allocating points differently among the WXP upgrades for each character. WXP upgrades can be reset through consumables purchased from the World Ability Master.

Rewards

Standard reward at rank 526

Each new WXP rank rewards the following:

1. One World Ability Point, which can be spent on various WXP upgrade progression tracks such as: passive bonuses, siege weapon skills, and on-kill effects. There is a maximum of 10,000 points that can be earned; WXP rank rewards past rank 10,000 will not include additional ability points.
2. A bouncy World Rank Chest with WvW rewards. Each chest contains coins, two Pieces of Unidentified Gear, and a Chest of the Mists. In addition, there is a chance of a bonus item(s), including:
   • Ascended rings
   • Ascended weapons
   • Ascended armor
   • Armor or weapons of masterwork, rare, or exotic quality, including precursors
   • Badges of Honor (10)
   • Blueprints, either ordinary or superior
   • Traps
   • WXP Consumables and Boosters

World Rank Chests up to rank 5 don't contain a Chest of the Mists and have slightly less loot because they are easier to acquire.. Past rank 6, the World Rank Chests are the same.

World ranks

Your world rank increases as you gain WXP through your accomplishments in WvW. The first 4 ranks (up to rank 5) only require 1,000 WXP; after that, each rank requires 5,000 WXP.

Reaching rank 10,000 will allow players to purchase Title: God of WvW from the legendary vendors.

• The character name that appears to enemy players does not change from Diamond Legend.

Leveling up after reaching rank 10,000 will not increase the rank number.

WXP acquisition

Player kills will grant more WXP the longer the killed player has been alive. Getting different ranks (bronze/silver/gold) for event completion scales the WXP awarded, while various modifiers (see WXP modifiers section below) will grant a bonus to world experience. (Spawn Camping Enemy Players can give you 0 WXP)
