I already did this on all my characters but then I got a thought: do you get the same rewards on a non-level 80 character? As in, would it be worth it to create characters for a quick Bloodstone fen clear?

They changed the scroll to only work for level 80 characters because of people doing this. People used to do with Southsun back before they changed it but I could never manage it, I always got killed too quickly.

Should I be saving Tomes of Knowledge for anything (read: crafting), or can I spend them on alts with reckless abandon?

Also thanks/props to the cool dudes running HP trains over the past couple weeks. It's actually a lot of fun running through maps with a bunch of buddies, who knew! Once I'm less of a clueless noob, hopefully I can help (ports/swiftness??) runs like that :shobon:

I'd use them on alts if you're stuck but if you're new and are still playing through the story/leveling you might want to be judicious with using them until the later levels as some of the story missions are cool and really set the stage for the game world. Doubly so if you're making alts from each race.

Awesome, thank you! Yeah, I was planning on using them to boost through some of the earlier levels to the specialization slot unlock milestones, like 45(?). I'm still having a lot of fun just discovering stuff in the world, so I appreciate the heads up.

It's probably better to save them to finish leveling to 80 instead of trying to level up faster, since the XP needed to level increases with each level.

The rate of which you gain XP past level 20 is linear, while the numbers are bigger the rate remains the same.

I don't know if it's still this way, but I found the levels 60-70 to be the slowest. 1-20 is normal early game quick and 70-80 is super fast because of Orr.

That's what I remember too, and I recall a few others years back saying the same things regarding saving your tomes for the slow slog of 50-70.

Just make sure to stay away from the Shiverpeaks, or at least the underground bits of it. When you're still leveling the Dredge are a huge slog.

It's fine if you stick to the surface where most of the pretty stuff is, it's the underground bits filled with durable blind-immune molemen that throw buffs around like they're going out of style that you want to stay out of.

I have leveled 3 characters to 80 in the last 2 months and i noticed no real slowdown in the higher levels. If anything i'd say it was faster as there is less competition for targets.
Depends on how you level i guess. I grinded enemies, not hearts or story quests.

I'm really glad I didn't impulse buy that first tier last night because I'm essentially poor (like 30g) and just wanted to get these mastery tiers leveled up a little faster. I was close to having enough unbound magic for all three of those, or so I thought. That would have been a swift kick in the balls to see the prices jump so much

Is there any WvW activity any more? I started playing for the first time in years, joined Eternal Battlegrounds, and there was basically nothing going on. Is there still a goon presence on Maguuma?
