Traits | Hero development Guild Wars 2 Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
From the eleventh level your hero starts collecting one trait point per level and finishes with seventy of them after reaching the 80th level. Traits let you influence your attributes, statistics and even skills. Knowing it deeply is very important during developing your hero, especially while exploring the most difficult locations, PvP and WvW.
Spending the points
Before you start spending your trait points you have to find a trainer and bought a proper tome. You can find them in every beginning location, they're marked with a book on the map.
Depending on your level and number of available points you have to buy a proper tome:
Level | Name | Cost | Effect |
11 | Adept's | 10 silver | You can spent 10 points |
40 | Master's | 1 gold | You can spent 20 points |
60 | Grandmaster's | 2 gold | You can spent 30 points |
I should mention also, that you can reset spent trait points:
- with the proper tome
- choosing the proper option at trainer's and paying a bit
To spent your points you have to press H and choose the skills and traits bookmark and then traits. You will see a table, divided on few rows divided on four columns. First one describes the line: you can see a name, number of spent points and influence on the primary, secondary and profession attributes. The remaining three let you choose features which give you some bonuses.
All available traits are divided on minor (there is 15 of them, unlocked at5, 15 and 25 points) and major (60 of them, 10, 20 or 30 points required). In case of the second ones you can use lower level trait instead the higher one.
