— In-game description

The Level-80 Boost is an item awarded to players who purchase Guild Wars 2 expansions. This awarded item comes bundled with various items and a free shared inventory slot, and allows underleveled characters to preview max-level play before committing to consuming the boost. It can also be acquired through use of Black Lion Instant Level 80 Ticket (if acquired thusly, there are no additional items included).

This item can also be consumed by characters already at level 80.

Acquisition[edit]

Contents[edit]

The following items are granted upon choosing to permanently consume the boost:

Preview[edit]

Using this item on a character who is below level 80 will grant the option to preview max-level play in The Silverwastes; the item can then be used again to decide whether to level up permanently and consume the boost, or to end the trial and keep the boost.

Characters already at level 80 will not be given the option to play the trial, though they will be teleported to The Silverwastes upon choosing to permanently consume the boost.

Starting the trial will teleport you to next to Quartermaster Criswell in Camp Resolve and initiate conversation with him. Your character will be wearing temporary level 80 gear (existing gear will be safely stored in Package of Old Equipment in your inventory) and their build will be changed to one of the builds shown below. You will be unable to leave the Silverwastes until you either consume the boost or choose to end the trial.

For the duration of the trial, traits, utility skills, and equipment can freely be changed; including equipping legendary items.

New Player Experience trial[edit]

With the New Player Experience beta, the Level-80 Boost provides a raptor, with the following message:

Thank you for upgrading to a full Guild Wars 2 account! You've unlocked the raptor, the first mount to accompany you on your journey. You can unlock more mounts—and master new skills for your raptor—in the Guild Wars 2: Path of Fire expansion.

Notes[edit]

  • Leaving the Silverwastes on an elementalist who is attuned to an element that has not yet been unlocked allows the player to use that element until the player attunes to a different one.
  • If new runes are attached they can't be removed with an upgrade extractor.
  • Any level-up reward not claimed will be lost once end of tutorial has been selected, be careful to claim all rewards before validation.
  • The first (acquired through expansion-purchase) L80 Boost will appear in a new shared inventory slot. It does not appear until you change zones. The only way to remove it from this slot is to consume it; the slot will remain available for use afterwards. Subsequent expansion-acquired L80 Boosts will stack on top of any existing L80 Boost(s) (If you still have (at least) one of them), leaving the shared inventory slots they came with free for use.
    • L80 Boosts acquired via Black Lion Instant Level 80 Tickets require an existing empty Shared Inventory Slot for use.
  • Consuming this item is a permanent action and cannot be undone. You will be prompted by a confirmation box before it is consumed.
    • Undoing the boost returns you to your racial city, regardless of where you initiated the boost. Despite restoring your old equipment, an empty Package of Old Equipment remains in your inventory and must be consumed before you can re-boost the same character.
  • Boosting a character to level 80 in this way does not reward any level rewards (with the exception of stats and unlocks).
  • Once the boost has been permanently consumed, you may use the Waypoints to travel to a starting area, or travel East to Brisban Wildlands.
  • Level 80 gear you are equipped with when entering the trial will have its skin unlocked for you in your wardrobe after leaving the trial even if you chose to undo the boost.
  • Level 80 gear that comes with this item cannot be salvaged, sold, used in the Mystic Forge, or have their upgrades extracted.
  • Cannot be activated in the starting area tutorial mission, as the following message will occur instead: You must complete the tutorial before you can use this level-boost item.
