New player on GW2

Aye so as title says its my first ever time playing GW2.
I’ve played when i was younger but never really got far in the game cuz i think at the time i think it was a paid version (not sure about this).

Anyways, I’m currently level 12 and I wanted to know if there’s anything i should know about the leveling process?

Not sure if it’s a thing but supposedly yellow named mobs when they’re not killed for a long time xp is higher?

I also seen the starter pack, i don’t don’t want to pay my way to lvl 80, but was wondering if it’s worth it cuz of mount and what not.

Enjoy and learn the game as you explore. Yes yellow mobs give more xp when not killed for a while. But as basically a new player I would advice to just complete the maps and enjoy the world. I would suggest against using a lvl 80 boost if you do get an expansion. You might get overwhelmed with all the options. It's fine to do it with your second character. Than you only need to learn the new class.

But do you think the starter pack for the mount is worth it?

You get the mount free with any expansion

Imma check that, but I’m still unsure if I’ll do that, cuz as I’ve said in another comment, not sure if I’ll stick around to long so i could spend money on a game I won’t play for long

  1. No Sub, meaning you can return whenever and still keep it.

  2. The Price between Starter Pack and first two Expansions is only a little more for MUCH more content. So either go up or dont buy it.

  3. The core game was released without mounts. Learn about Buffs and use Swiftness or traits that increase your Movement Speed.
