World Experience

“

WvW rank is earned by playing in World vs. World. They allow you to train WvW abilities, which are advanced powers that you earn for all characters on your account.

World Experience (WXP, also called WvW Experience) is an account progression system in World versus World (WvW), similar to PvP Rank. When entering the WvW game mode, the player's experience bar is replaced by the World Experience bar. World Experience is gained by participating in WvW activities, including killing foes, capturing or defending objectives from other teams, destroying siege weapons, and completing zone-specific objectives. When the World Experience bar is filled, the account will gain a new world rank, rewarding one World Ability Point as well as a bouncy chest of various items and currencies.

Despite being named experience, it is an entirely different system to experience gained in PvE.

Rewards

Standard reward at rank 526

World Ability Points

Primary article: World Ability Point

World Ability Points can be spent on various tracks which increase effectiveness in World vs World such as: passive bonuses, siege weapon skills, and quality-of-life improvements. A maximum of 10,000 points can be earned; World Ranks past 10,000 will not reward additional points.

Bouncy chest

• 25  13  - 35  89 
• Chance for Badge of Honor (10)
• Chest of the Mists (guaranteed)
• Piece of Unidentified Gear (2) (guaranteed), with each piece having a chance to be upgraded into:
  • Piece of Rare Unidentified Gear
  • Exotic equipment
  • Ascended equipment
• Chance for bonus item(s):
  • Blueprints
  • Traps
  • Instant World Experience services

World Rank Chests up to rank 5 don't contain a Chest of the Mists and have slightly less loot because they are easier to acquire.. Past rank 6, the World Rank Chests are the same.

World ranks

Your world rank increases as you gain WXP through your accomplishments in WvW. The first 4 ranks (up to rank 5) only require 1,000 WXP; after that, each rank requires 5,000 WXP.

Rank titles

Your rank title, together with your server name, is shown to enemy players instead of your character name, e.g. Divinity's Reach Silver Footman.

Reaching rank 10,000 will allow players to purchase Title: God of WvW from the legendary vendors.

• The character name that appears to enemy players does not change from Diamond Legend.

Leveling up after reaching rank 10,000 will not increase the rank number.

WXP acquisition

Player kills will grant more WXP the longer the killed player has been alive. Getting different ranks (bronze/silver/gold) for event completion scales the WXP awarded, while various modifiers (see WXP modifiers section below) will grant a bonus to world experience. (Spawn Camping Enemy Players can give you 0 WXP)

Instant World Experience services

For the historical consumables, see: Liquid World Experience

Enemies and objectives have a chance to reward additional World Experience in the form of service items. They are instantly consumed upon acquisition, and will thus not appear in the inventory, and are only visible through their +WXP overlay popup. Box of WvW Supplies is a highly sought-after container because of it also containing these, indirectly enabling buying world ranks for various currencies. The values are not affected by WXP modifiers.

Item	Amount
Drop of Instant World Experience	250
Thimble of Instant World Experience	2,500
Taste of Instant World Experience	5,000
Swig of Instant World Experience	10,000
Keg of Instant World Experience	25,000

WXP modifiers

There are several ways to increase the amount of world experience earned.

50% WvW Experience Bonus	WXP Mini-Booster WXP Booster (discontinued)	50%
Celebration Bonus	Birthday Booster Celebration Booster	100%
Experience Booster	Candy Corn Gobbler Enchanted Reward Boost Heroic Booster Experience Booster (DMasterwork) Experience Booster (ERare)	50%
Nourishment	Ascended feasts	10%	No other food items affect WXP gain.

	WxP Enrichment Wurm's WXP Blessing Enrichment	10%	Enrichments require a level 80 GAscended amulet
Situational WvW effects

Outnumbered	World versus World effect	25%	Only active when greatly outnumbered in World vs. World maps.
Time-specific bonuses
Call of War	Automatic	100%	Active during specific special events
Greater Call of the Mists (WvW)	Automatic	100%	Active during World vs. World Rush
Bonus Weekend Event	Automatic (historical)	100%	2018 event
Mist War Summons	Automatic (historical)	15%	2015 events
Total		+230%	(Does not include situational WvW effects (+35%) or time-specific bonuses.)

Notes

• Only effects which explicitly mention WvW ("World Experience", "WvW Experience", "WvW rank gain", "WXP") or verbatim say "Experience in All Game Types" will boost World Experience.
• WXP is thus not affected by effects phrased "Experience (All Sources)" or "All Experience"; this is only a type of normal experience modifier, see Experience#All modifiers vs kill modifiers.

Anomaly:

Winter's Blessing does not affect WXP gain despite being phrased the same as experience boosters ("Experience in All Game Types").

Trivia

• Prior to the October 1st, 2013 patch, World experience consumables were affected by World Experience Modifiers.
• After September 2014 Feature Pack update, players can continue gaining world rank rewards after reaching rank 10,000. However, this yields no additional WvW ability points.
• Players who had gained any world ranks prior to the introduction of the reward chest retroactively received rewards at a rate of one retroactive chest for each new rank.
