Is Ascension needed?
Ruzdur
I'm playing the game again and I was wondering if the 3 Ascension missions are needed to complete the game? Or can I just skip them without problems?

Well no I think its needed cuz there a big story line in there so just do it and its fun!

after ascending you can change your seccond job so its worth doing if u plan on doing pvp.

Technically, No I don't believe they are needed to beat the missions of the game. Guild Wars however has so much to do beyond the missions. IMHO the missions are the most boring part. Which is why I understand you not wanting to do them.
Numerous things become available when you ascend, most notably The Underworld and Fissure of Woe, only accessible by ascended characters.
Another option, although less classy, is getting the missions ran for you. 2 of the 3 missions are runable I believe. Thus leaving you with only one and the accually act of acsension. This is not what I would suggest unless you have beaten the game, as I and many others have, and simply do not want to do those missions over again. (My first try Thirsty River took me over 7 hour to complete, damn that mission)

Ascending is a big part of the story.. and unless u get run to droks thats how u get to one of the largest cities. It also opens up large areas like UW and FoW which can produce rare items and give u lots of xp.
I find it fun to ascend characters and enjoy the storyline.. that is afterall one of the main points of the game- playing the story.

You can skip them but you'll miss out on several things. The first one is obviously Ascension, so that's 50,000XP gone, then there's the Dragon's Lair Mission, so that's another 2000, then there is also the Profession changing Quests and the second 15 Attribute Point Quest. So in answer to your question: no, Ascension is not essential but there will be problems.

Along with Dragon's Lair, you cannot access the Tomb of the Primeval Kings without ascending.

All missions are runnable (albeit for 5K some are expensive).

from one of the galie gray chats, <can't remeber which one> i believe you need to be accended to bring your current players into cantha when ch. 2 comes out. i haven't been able to find the chat log, if anyone might have that or can find it. It would be appreciated for some who have the same quesiton as the op.
