As a new player, I’ve been wondering about how leveling works in Guild Wars 2, especially for someone like me who loves playing multiple characters. Can I level one character through an expansion then switch to another character and jump straight to the next expansion? Do I have to complete the game story for each character I create, or is it more flexible? Also, I’d love some recommendations for GW2 YouTubers!

Sure, you can switch characters, but why rush it? I like to complete everything on one character to fully experience the game. But hey, play how you enjoy!
You can definitely switch expansions or chapters with your level 80 characters. It adds a lot of fun and variety! Just keep in mind that when leveling from 1-80, you can access all starter areas from the moment you exit the tutorial, so don’t feel stuck if you want to try different races.
Oh great tip, thanks!
As long as your character is level 80, you can play through any expansion you like without any restrictions. Leveling up to 80 doesn’t take too long, so you can enjoy the content you prefer!
Absolutely! In GW2, once your character hits level 80, you can hop straight into any expansion, even if you haven’t finished the main story for levels 1-80. So feel free to switch between your characters whenever you want!
I got some boosts during the sale—planning to level a few characters from 1-80 and boost the others. Thanks for the tip!
Just a heads up, if you’re thinking about leveling in high-level zones, it’s a bit risky if you’re not level 80 yet—you might die quickly! It’s generally easier to stick to core Tyria zones or try PvP for leveling instead. There’s plenty to explore there!
Because I like to try different classes! Just my style.
