Your build guide should have rune and sigil recommendations, and while they can seem like a daunting extra cost, they are a critical part of making your character effective at its role. As a general rule, unless you have DPS tests to back you up, make sure you have the runes and sigils recommended by your build guide before you enter high-end content where your group will be counting on you e.
These are acquisition methods for typical example runes. The uses mentioned are broad generalities as of the time of this writing. As always, consult your build guide for what you should be using.
These are acquisition methods for common sigils. This section mostly only applies to raids, where the group is generally racing an Enraged timer if they don't get a kill fast enough.
Food is pretty unnecessary in low tier fractals but is expected in most Tier 4 groups and especially challenge mode CM on fractal 99 and These consumables typically give a 30 or 60 minute buff unless extended with a Metabolic Primer for food or Utility Primer for utility items that increases stats relevant to your role; generally your build guide will tell you what the recommended food for your build is, so, as always, consult your build guide.

To make more, you'll need to complete the Heart of Thorns story on additional characters, and spend about 30 gold crafting the components for each new weapon. You get a stat-selectable ascended backpiece for completing each Raise the Banners collection in Path of Fire. The stats available include all of the stats sold by the Laurel Merchant, as well as Path of Fire stats. There are 3 collections you can finish, each one providing an ascended backpiece.
You get a 4th backpiece for free after completing all the previous collections. You get an ascended weapon for completing each Specialization Collection.
The resulting ascended weapons have a limited selection of stats but can be stat swapped in the Mystic Forge. Each of these collections includes an expensive Mystic or Mordant weapon that will set you back about 30 gold. However, collecting a Mystic shield or staff, or a Mordant axe, dagger, or sword, will fulfill the requirement for two collections at once. Crafting is an expensive but reliable way to get ascended armor and weapons. Note that ascended trinkets cannot be crafted.
One important difference between exotic and ascended crafting is that ascended crafting requires several time-gated materials:. Crafting a full set of ascended armor and weapons will set you back gold depending on the stat set; you might also have to spend more gold leveling your crafting or buying the recipes. As an alternative to crafting ascended armor and weapons directly, you can craft Grandmaster Marks and use them to buy ascended gear. One vendor in each game mode sells the recipes for Grandmaster Marks, and also accepts them as a currency:.
This is by far the cheapest way to get ascended armor and weapons, but you have to invest time into learning to raid or at least have friends that are willing to carry you through raids. Although this stat-selectable item is PvP-related, no PvP is required as the items involved in forging it can simple be bought off the trading post. The items for the questline can be bought off the Trading Post for about 50 gold, so it's an option if you have lots of gold to spare.
As a last resort, you can use Trade Contracts and Pulsing Brandsparks to buy Path of Fire trinkets from various open world vendors. This is one of the worst and most expensive options available, but as there aren't that many ways to get Path of Fire trinkets as of this writing, it's included for the sake of completeness. The best way to get these is to farm the appropriate dungeon for a few days, then buy them with dungeon tokens from the Dungeon Armor and Weapons vendor.
The remaining runes and sigils are account bound upgrades introduced in Heart of Thorns, and must either be bought with map-specific currency in PvE or with Proofs of Heroics from the Heroics Notary. In practice this boils down to one of these runes:. Need help gearing a character? Check out this guide. The first step is to find yourself a goal. Aiming to get some shiny new skins would be a good starting point.
One common approach is to just do what you like, learn how to earn gold from it and then convert that gold to gems to buy store skins. The other one is a bit more targeted — you could go after skins that are tied to doing specific content like raids or PvP and start grinding there. Or if you really want to keep yourself busy, aim for Legendary gear.
An average Legendary weapon is in the k gold range and may even involve a scavenger hunt or two. In general farming gold and other currencies is a defining part of endgame.
Open world can also be a great money maker. In GW2 open world makes up the bulk of endgame content with a heavy focus on meta events. On endgame maps you have to work together with dozens of other players performing various tasks in order to progress map-wide events.
Some of these map currencies are required for legendary weapons as well as unlocking new stats for crafting. This is meant to be large scale group content, so always try to find a commander and join their squad!
As for where to go, Heart of Thorns maps are still very popular and should be a good starting point. Metas are often tied to timers, sites like gw2timer should prove useful when deciding what to do next.
Joining their squad should bring you over to their map. Fractals are the instanced 5 man endgame content of GW2 that replaced regular dungeons. These are essentially a subcategory of dungeons, but there are many things that set them apart. This is a powerful debuff that quickly overwhelms those affected by it.
To counter agony, players must build agony resistance AR. AR mostly comes from infusions which can be put into infusion slots found on Ascended and Legendary gear. At lower levels you may get away with having no resistance at all or buying trinkets from sources like the Laurel Merchant and infusing those which should be the cheapest thing to do.
While agony can be rendered a nonissue through infusions, instabilities are something you actively have to play around. Each elite specialization requires hero points to fully unlock it, with each hero challenge in expansion maps providing 10 of those points.
One of the first goals of a level 80 character should be to get a full set of gear of the desired attribute combination , together with runes and sigils. Gear of F Exotic quality is often easy and inexpensive to obtain through the trading post , and is enough to welcome players into the endgame. As players progress, they will begin their journey towards G Ascended gear, the best gear in the game, obtained mainly through crafting.
H Legendary gear is as powerful as G Ascended but has an added QoL through Legendary Armory as well as having the option to swap upgrades and attributes freely. Gear attributes, together with traits, weapons, and utility skills, create a build, which determines the effectiveness of a character. New players might want to consult external guides and builds before starting their gearing process and venturing into the endgame. Furthermore, all professions have several builds with different goals in the endgame.
A player might need power based gear for one build, and healing for another, so the gearing process is pivotal to the endgame. Guild Wars 2 also focuses on account progression, a set of features that, once unlocked, become available to all characters in the account.
The mastery system is the main account-wide progression system, providing all of the characters of the account with benefits such as gliding , mounts , etc. In essence, masteries work like a levelling system, except instead of getting character levels, players earn different passive effects, abilities or are able to access new content. PvE is a very wide term that encompasses things like story and world bosses, the endgame focuses on the following:. Starting with Heart of Thorns, map meta events are large scale battles where a large number of players, or even every single player on the map in some cases, works towards a common goal.
These events are on a timer, which can be consulted in Event timers , have a low or non-existent entry barrier, and are the first step in the PvE endgame. Fractals of the Mists have taken over dungeons in instanced 5-players group PvE. Fractals are short, repeatable, rewarding, and have an innate progression system. They feature 4 different levels of difficulty, progressively introducing more mechanics known as instabilities to shake things up. Fractals are the perfect stepping stone for PvE players as they progress through the easy tier 1 fractals into the hardcore tier 4 fractals with challenge motes.
To progress into harder and more rewarding Fractals you will need to gain Agony Infusions and equip them in your gear to not die to Agony in higher-level fractals. In addition, you are also gated by your Personal Fractal Level which is basically the highest level fractal you can yourself start. This can be surpassed by having someone else open the fractal for you.
