Hey, I player my 1st Character to level 25-30 then got a second one boosted to 80 . You might get overwhelmed , you might take it slow and figure it out. In GW2 you scale your level with the maps, so if you feel overwhelmed after the level you can go back to previous zones and chill there and learn the mechanics. It doesn't give you the gear and stuff the xpac ones do but still boosts you to 80 if I remember correctly. It has the additional items (gear, dyes, bags), they're the same boosts. Only difference is the bought boost requires you to have an empty shared slot rather than just giving you one additional free slot for it. A few days i was in exactly your position. I played a thief and was around level 30. i decided to buy the first 2 expansions for 30€. First of all you unlock mounts, you need a level 80 player to carry you through the mission that unlocks them, but being able to ride on a dinosaur makes exploring really easy and cool. Something that has bothered me for a long time now, this all stems from an accident of placing a valuable infusion into one of the level 80 boost gear that was "given" to my character (the infusion was a+5/+9 agony infusion into one of the "given" exotic earrings). Hi, I have just returned since quitting when the game had just released. I managed to get a character to level 50. I got a level 60 boost birthday present which I used on a new character. So, here I am now with a level 60 elementalist standing in Rata sum with no idea what I should do. Anyone tha The boost doesn't get you all the hero points or mastery points you'll need anyway. Since you're going to have to go and get those regardless, might as well learn your proferssion's skill set along the way. It's my opinion that the level 80 boost is a stick designed to look like a carrot. The boost includes a box which is all of your gear from before you activated the boost. Do it at level 1, you'll get some starter gear back. Do it at level 14, you get all your armor/trinkets/weapons back. There is a level 80 gear box, and an "old gear" box. On the surface the level 80 boost may appear to be a fun way for new players to get into the game and start having fun immediately and it is for a… Then you must start the Heart of Thorns story and play the prologue and the first mission to get the basic glider, and you need a level 80 character to do that. Once unlocked, the mastery and related skins will be account-wide, so you can do that with a different character, then go back to the low level character to use it. Yes, you might be able to play with your friends but you are no real help for them. More of the opposite (at least in harder content). So if you get the booster refunded (I doubt it): For the love of [insert favorite human god here] stay away from the level 80 booster and learn the game first. RB2nt.
