{{quotation|Hovering the number of available points|This is the number of World Ability Points you have remaning. You can spend World Ability Points on abilities that will increase your effectiveness within World vs. World.}}
[[World Ability Point]]s and '''World Abilities''' are progression systems in [[World versus World]] (WvW). One point is rewarded upon gaining a new [[World Rank]]. They can be spent on various abilities, ranging from passive damage improvements, to new [[siege weapon]] abilities and access to features like [[gliding]] and a [[mount]]. Points are earned [[account]]-wide, while their allocation is [[character]]-specific, allowing individual characters to specialize differently.

A total of 1,085 points are currently needed to train every ability. A maximum of 10,000 points can be earned, as World Ranks past 10,000 do not reward additional points.

== Abilities ==
Players can spend their [[World Ability Point]]s on the following tracks.

** {{item icon|Ability Reset Guide}}
** {{item icon|Sample Ability Reset Guide}}

== Notes ==
* Guard Killer does not affect [[condition]] damage.
* The Mercenary's Bane effect works on enemies belonging to one of the [[Mercenary camp]]s.
* Supply Master tier 4 has a 30 second internal cooldown. The average result when reaching zero supply and ignoring that cooldown is a recovery of .72 supply, with recovery occurring about 30% of the time. If timed to respect the cooldown, the recovery is 1.06 supply, occurring about 40% of the time.<ref name=Reddit>[https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/19emvks/wvw_supply_master_have_a_chance_to_recover_spent/], Reddit</ref><ref name=Reddit2>[https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/1cl3w50/wvw_supply_master_have_a_chance_to_recover_spent/], Reddit</ref>
