WvW Rank up.png

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[edit]

Standard reward at rank 31

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 World Rank Chest with WvW rewards. Each chest contains coins and Badges of Honor. In addition, there is a chance of a bonus item(s), including:

Past rank 6, the World Rank Chests are the same. The earlier chests have slightly less loot because they are easier to acquire.[1]

World ranks[edit]

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.

Rank titles[edit]

Your rank title, together with your server name, is shown to enemy players instead of your character name, e.g. Divinity's Reach Silver Footman.
