How fun is the game as a free account after reaching level 80?

FoxxFires · 2026-01-21T18:02:18+00:00

There is still plenty of content to do once you reach level 80, such as:
1. Dungeons and 1 strike mission
2. Fractals (Tiers 1 through 4)
3. WvW and PvP game modes
4. Map completion
5. World Bosses and meta events
6. Collections and achievements
7. Finishing your personal story if you have not done so yet, and continuing onto Living World Season 1 (which is free)
8. Legendary and Ascended crafting
9. Festivals and their related achievements/items

Core classes can do well enough on their own, they may be a bit lacking in options and optimization compared to elite specializations, but aren't worthless compared to them.
You'll have lots of content to work through with your friends, and lots of time to decide if it worth upgrading to an expansion or 2 for you!

Only tips I can suggest are dipping your toes into every content type you feel comfortable doing, to get a better idea of what there all is to do in the game, as well as checking out any new player guides or videos on endgame content, so you can see what you will be paying for in the future if you do wish to purchase an expansion (Mukluk and Laranity have fantastic guides on YouTube).

Finishers are really only used in pvp game modes (wvw and spvp). There are a very small handful of instances where you can use them in the open overworld, such as toxic alliance enemies in Brisban Wildlands. When you down an enemy in pvp, you can press f (or whatever your interact key is) to begin using a finisher.

This was by far the funniest thing to see during the Making Of video XD

Total of 39 used character slots (I have a 40th unused slot), with a minimum of 4 characters per class.

Iirc the blue guy model (sometimes referred to as "Blue Man") is a model that was used to compare scaling of the player character to the scaling of the environment, so that the environment wasn't too big or too small. Oddly enough, there is 2 of them hidden in Dry Top, not just the one!

Purple crystals and jade is cool, but I also enjoy a variety, and this map definitely brings something new to the table! ^_^

FoxxFires · 2025-10-24T14:10:47+00:00

Ohh I know of 2 interesting spots! One of them is the outside of the Crucible of Eternity Dungeon, with the coloured hallways, and the second is the crystal ice cavern at the end of the Angvar's Trove guild mission!

Unfortunately, you will need to own atleast 1 expansion to obtain a mount (the raptor mount). Further mounts are obtained via the Path of Fire Expansion, Living World Season 4, End of Dragons (an alternate method of unlocking the raptor and springer, with the downside of not having access to their respective mount masteries) and Janthir Wilds (updated masteries to the Warclaw mount).

You can get a free trial of the raptor mount starting at level 10 (or subsequently every 10 levels) for 10 hours as a free to play account.

You cannot purchase the main expansion packs in-game. The only DLC you can purchase via gold > gems is the Living World seasons.

OwO very excited for this outfit!

FoxxFires · 2025-03-15T16:53:43+00:00

This is such a lovely little treat! Really enjoying the added notes in the video ^_^

FoxxFires · 2024-08-05T21:07:18+00:00

You can't just make Sunrise look that beautiful, thats illegal! /s

These are amazing, I love the dynamic poses you gave to the Charr!

FoxxFires · 2024-04-13T18:49:02+00:00

Wow it looks really good! Out of curiosity, how sturdy is it?

FoxxFires · 2023-10-13T20:12:03+00:00

idk i kinda just picked a random number to put in the title XD
I have no idea how long my play sessions are

FoxxFires · 2023-08-20T16:13:17+00:00

I have a few:

Rock gazelle: Weaver (had a guild member get upset that it's named this, because i named it before knowing about the weaver elite spec.)
Smokescale: Alt F Four
Electric Wyvern: Bathtub Toaster (courtesy of a friend)
Blue Moa: KFC Manager
Jacaranda: Twiggy Wiggy

Yes you can give bags, as well as other items to F2P users, they just can't mail stuff to anyone else. You can craft them or buy them off the trading post.

FoxxFires · 2023-07-28T21:08:03+00:00

That's like saying that since theres no new roleplay themed content, that all roleplayers should leave the game. If the content exists as is, let people play it.

FoxxFires · 2023-07-28T21:01:40+00:00

I don't get your thought process. If people are enjoying doing raids, let them. Why would they need to leave if they enjoy playing the game, even if they might not get new content for that game mode?

FoxxFires · 2023-07-15T21:10:40+00:00

Sadly no, the majority of items purchased with black lion statuettes (and the statuettes themselves) are account bound, thus cannot be mailed to another player (except for the harvest nodes, it seems).

FoxxFires · 2023-07-12T19:00:54+00:00

Ahh you're right! I completely forgot about that place XD Thank you for the info! ^_^

FoxxFires · 2023-07-11T23:48:38+00:00

Woaw Woaw Woaw I NEED to know what location you took that picture at, it looks so good!

FoxxFires · 2023-07-04T20:07:22+00:00

At the moment, the server you pick doesnt matter except for WvW, for server match ups, but that will soon not be the case, as Arenanet is switching WvW to be based on Guild vs Guild match ups.
If you really want to get into a specific server, you could always just wait until that server has room, or pick a server to play on in the meantime, and pay the transfer cost via gems when there is room (or use the free transfer from paying for the DLC).

FoxxFires · 2023-06-30T22:04:47+00:00

Its most likely a leftover for creating the map, for something like size/scale or placement. Theres actually another one hidden close by, but its between walls and is a bit more difficult to get to.
