Are you in Pre or Post Searing? You're basically at a higher level than the mobs you are fighting and need to move on in order to get XP from mobs again.

Getting no experience when you are at much higher levels than the enemies you are fighting is normal.

See here for details on experience gain.

i quit fighting them. i just run past. not worth the time.
i am post sear.
the only place i get experience is in the BREACH.
what is left for this game.
I have about 7 missions left to complete.
some are going to have me searching high and low (they dont have the green star).
is this really worth playing more ?

i may play teams, but lately i havent been able to get anyone in the guild to play.
i could always make another character, but who wants to go thru all this again ???

it sounds to me like you are still in pre-searing, that means that you should go talk to sir tydus, and make a commitments to go to the acedemy,thats where the real game begins, ur just in the tutorial

I'm going to assume that you are still in Pre-Searing Ascalon. If so, go to Sir Tydus. He will send you on a PvP mission and then a short PvE mission. After that the Searing and the rest of the game await you.

Buddy... you have SO MUCH more of the game to go. Keep running the main quest missions to move further into the map. Or, run the smaller quests from characters.

PS: My wife says you're a tool.

In your other post (with the exact same subject), you said that you are ,in fact, in Post-Searing. With this in mind, my only advise is to keep on doing the main story missions. These missions will move you to areas with higher level monsters that will give you more experience. (There are also more armor merchants, more PvP arenas, and more skill, etc. in these areas.

no. ive been out of presear for a few days.
ive conquered the breach. need i say more (that took me a day or so to win).
i ve found the girls ghost.
i dont really feel like going back to get her ashes.
but i suppose i eventually will.
there arent really that many things to fight in this game.
i can only get xp if i go to the breach.
its hard to find people to talk to in the game.
maybe ive been playing too much.
but i am getting tired of doing the same thing (breach, ascalon) etc. over and over.
i have 4 areas that i can instantly warp to .
i ahve about 6 missions to go.
4 dont have the green star to guide me, so im blind. which will take forever to solve.
and to top it all off, my stalker cat has mysteriously vanished.

He said the breech is the only place he's getting experiance. Thats not in pre-searing, thats a post searing area.

Monk have you done the great northern wall yet? Thats where the story line begins, and it leads you to fort ranik which then leads you to the ruins of surmia, so on and so forth, theres plenty of experiance after lv 10 even with henchies if your following the story arc. keep lookin, theres deffinatly more to do, i garuntee it.

Also you have to have the charm animal skill equiped to your skill bar for your charmed animal to be around in explorable areas.

Wait a minute, which mission are you up to? It doesn't sound like you've only got seven remaining to me. Or do you mean quests?

Seriously, I've been playing for about 80 hours since I got to level 10, and I haven't even seen all the PvE content. I haven't set foot in PvP yet, either. I don't really know why you think getting 0 experience in one of the first areas is so bad.

my mesmers 14 but from what i understand theres TONS of content to take you even past 20. Yes, 20's the level cap but the best content is supposed to be from lv 20 on.

There are a total of over 20 missions (not counting quests) in this game. Only 4 of these missions are in Ascalon. There is still plenty of things left for you to do. Here is a very good map to help you find your way out of Ascalon: (Warning! May Spoil Game For You)
http://gwforum.ca/moom/GWMap2ndBetaLabeled.jpg

P.S. The quickest way out of Ascalon is to do the main story missions (The big buttons on the map).

As I said in the other thread you posted ( ), I'd say I've played for 80 hours since I was at the point you are, and I'm not nearly finished. Seriously, you're at the beginning of the game. Go play on the actual missions rather than questing if you want to get to new areas.

Quite simply.. you arent anywhere CLOSE to IMAGINING the end of the game.

Now that being said, have you done any of the cooperative missions? They begin at ascalon with the quest for "The Great Northern wall". You should begin these. Remember to read your mission and quest notes for info on where to go next. I wont spoil unless you ask.

Nah, you can't (check the map). You're probably thinking of the Northlands.

I think you're just confused between missions and quests is all. The Northern Wall, as said above, will start your first mission and they progress from there. You're just starting

There is no Breach in pre-sear, only The Northlands. In pre-sear, Ascalon hadn't been breached yet, as the wall was still intact.

To the OP: The level difference between you and your victims should be no more than 5 to still get xp. If you're L10, L5 mobs should still give you small amounts of xp. Don't waste your time fighting the 3s and 4s, as they are just an annoyance to someone your level. I just herd them to the nearest NPC and keep going, never looking back.

I don't believe Monk Here has even started the main storyline.

Throughout the game, you'll want to do missions (which are different from quests).

They're marked on the main map with an icon that looks like a shield. Go to the zone and get a team, then click "Enter mission".

If you have not crossed the snowy mountains yet, you are no where near the end of the game. Put it this way, when you hit max level 20 then you will be about 50% done with all the things you need to do.

If you like xp, there are plenty of level 20+ mobs to fight with once you progress far enough in the missions (not quests missions)

You should really try reading the story as it progresses. It's a really good story and it pretty much gives you an idea of what comes next, or where you need to go. This game is probably the most strait forward game I have ever played, if you have ADD or something and can't think or explore than maybe counter-strike is better for you.

You don't ***have*** to do the missions. They are fun for content and they're worth 1000 (+1000 for bonus) experience each. However, there are only a few missions you MUST complete to gain access to new areas. Everything up to ascension can be explored and you can march your way all the way across the continent, opening new zones and cities. I opened up all of the pre-ascension cities prior to doing the missions, and had a blast doing so.

Monk, you need to explore the map more thoroughly. Find the zone lines for new zones. If you're an explorer (which it sounds like you are) keep exploring. As you move to newer and more difficult zones and cities, your henchmen increase in level and relative strength. They grow with you.
