Best food +150 (check fish food on the wiki) "Fishing on a full tank" mastery for having a food buff +100. "Tips of fishing" from Renown Heart in SE Seitung +50. Fishing party +300 (you need 99 stacks, or 99 fish caught with the party) In total it is possible to reach 975% Fishing power. Generally a good fish character will have 625 at the Description. Level Up Scribe to Max 400. Scribe is a guild crafting discipline that is accessible from the Workshop in guild halls. Heart of Thorns expansion is required. Most recipes must be unlocked in various guild hall buildings before they may be used. After unlocking, a schematic may be crafted by the scribe. and that's not counting all those bound materials that don't have a price tag but that can take a while to acquire by a solo player. According to the Guilds page under gw2efficiency, the current total cost of a maxed out guild is 15,672g, 711,262 aetherium and 57,281 favor. A lot. My guild, TACO, is a small one. After review, crafting for about $5 gets the character to max in a reported roughly 2 hours. Bear in my mind, the $5 is based off gw2crafts.net. The 2 hours is from player reports. Most how to level fast videos suggest about 25 hours or so. The difference between 2 hours and 25 hours is worth $5. I could find no better way. It's been awhile; but I recall reading long ago that some chests (wasn't sure if it included Black Lion) were better to wait until Max Lvl to open for maximizing the chance to receive the 'best gear'.

For WvW, the server vs server open world pvp, you can also start playing it early, I don't remember the exact level, but gear is not standardized in it.

Dungeons are optional PvE instances designed for a full party of five. There are eight dungeons at release, found every 10 levels starting at level 30. Three of the eight dungeons are designed for I have 3 level 80s and I've used 1 out of the 3 to beat all 3 main quest lines of the game. I always use my Necromancer. The base game and the 2 expansions. Not just that I've accomplished a huge of amount of things. So getting to my point. When I go to another one of my level 80's who hasn't accomplished what my main character has. Player skill matters more than gear level in this game.Tho gear stat sets do matter. The only thing you "have" to do, is get the right build in exotics for your class and play style. This can be done gradually vua reward tracks. My XP bar is stuck on the HoT Mastery track (even when in core Tyria) that I've automatically been swithced to after completing the only one that I wanted in HoT content, so I'm earning no XP in core Tyria with my max level alts.I don't want to go any further with HoT because I don't like it and just want to get mats/XP etc for my first Legendary from the basic game by earning Spirit Shards 0OlpZy6.
