Questions about going from Viz Square to Conservatory without dying

Need advice on how to get from Viz Square to the Conservatory with zero deaths. I've only played thru Factions once before so I'm not all that familiar with the nuances of the Factions missions and quests (ie: friendly mobs suddenly turning into enemy assassins).

I'm willing to pay for runs and stuff but I guess that wouldn't work due to locked gates.

My questions are:

1. How far would I have to get into the game before there would be no locked gate for me on the Conservatory?

2. What specific event triggers the locked gate being removed from the Conservatory?

3. What are the specific problem areas in the game that would likely lead to death on this goal? I read about minions causing death during cutscenes, but aside from that what are the other stumblingblocks on the path from Viz Square to Conservatory?

4. Is it possible to stay out of range whilst my party kills everything along this path, or will there be times when being in enemy range is forced no matter what?

I am very very confused!!

What "Conservatory"?

If you mean Lutgardis Conservatory then after vizunah you have 5 more missions to do before you can get to House zu Heltzer and be "ran" to the conservatory.

Before I waste too much time answering a question you may not have asked please confirm whether you mean "Lutgardis Conservatory" or something else...

please dont FF for your survivor..that requires absolutely no skills, and just shows that the title should be removed. >_>

1. Hzh
2. theres no locked gate, you can get a run to there once your in hzh
3. any quest or mission on the way could obviously score you a death, depending on your class. if you watch cutscenes and happen to have a MM (final cutscene that is), just restart GW, the mission will still be finished without getting a death. Arborstone and Boreas might be a bit tricky as well, i dont see no big deal in Sunjiang District, T. Temple should be easy, so should Naphui be..dunno about quests, its all up to you if you pay attention or not.
4. you can pretty much always stay back, except for fighting bosses in Sunjiang, they usually attack you right away after the cutscene, so you gotta take care there. for the rest..leech back and let others get your survivor.

gg for laming~
