1. Version History
----------------------------------
Expect updates once a week, or so. I update the guide while I'm completing
the quests, or if someone emails me the information. Be forwarned though -
This game is HUGE. The amount of gameplay you get for your money makes this
game a virtual steal. It will take some time before this guide is anywhere
close to being definitive.
Version 0.55 - Added yet more quests - Starting to fill the gap between
Ascalon and Kryta. Added a large number of quests that you
receive once you get to Yak's Bend. Also, altered the quests
that give you class-specific skills to reflect the skills each
class would receive. Please help fill this list in!
Version 0.50 - Still updating - Quests at this point range to the Amnoon Oasis
Still the gap between Nolani Academy and Gates of Kryta, but
that gap should be filled before too much longer. Also added
indicators in the Quest List to show which quests are listed
but not yet covered in the guide.
Version 0.45 - Major update - At this point, I'm not putting dates on the
updates anymore, as I'm adding to this guide every day. Here's
a list of all the major changes that I've done to this guide.
(1) Added an FAQ section - prolly should have had one since the
beginning, but *shrugs* (2) All quests covered by this guide
are now in the quest list (3) Added a boatload of new quests,
mostly in the Ascalon areas. Quests that are listed but not
completed are ones that I'm still working on in the game.
Version 0.40 - May 15, 2005 - As of this point, the Quest guide contains a
(hopefully) definitive list and walkthroughs of ALL the
Pre-Searing quests, INCLUDING class-specific quests. Any quest
that is not in this portion of the guide, please e-mail me with
the details and I will add it to the guide.
Version 0.30 - May 13, 2005 - Added Quest List Section. The guide should
now contain nearly all of the pre-searing quests. Please check
the quest list for the complete list of quests covered in this
guide. Some class-specific quests may not be covered at this
point.
Version 0.20 - May 12, 2005 - Added the following quests: Necromancers novice,
The Blessings of Balthazar, Unsettling Rumors, Charr in the
Catacombs, Charr at the Gate, The Wayward Wizard
- Added "Recommendations" section to guide.
Version 0.10 - May 11, 2005 - Added the following quests: Monks Test, Path
to glory, Across the Wall
- Formatted entire guide to comply with Gamefaqs 79 char rule.
Version 0.05 - May 7, 2005 - First start of this guide.
----------------------------------
2. Setup
----------------------------------
All quest walkthroughs contained here will follow the same format, though, at
this point, I am not including the quest summary. All quests in this guide
have been successfully completed, so if you follow the walkthrough, you won't
need the summary, now will you? :-)
- Quest Title: What shows up in your log.
- Quest difficulty: This will be a subjective rating, but will follow a basic
scale of Very Easy, Easy, Moderate, somewhat hard, hard, very hard, and
insane. Please note that these ratings are subjective to character level
and may not always be accurate. Some quests may be easier to complete with
certain classes and some may be harder. The ratings very easy to moderate
can be completed alone, without assistance in most cases. Somewhat hard to
insane will require assistance.
- Received in: Which area you have to be in to receive the quest
- Received from: Who you have to talk to to receive the quest
- Classes restrictions : If there are any specific class restrictions on
this quest, I will list them here. If there are not any, I will list
"none".
- Walkthrough: What you have to do to complete this quest. Please note - this
is what worked for me, or whoever sent me this information, you may find
an easier or different way. In the case of mission quests, any bonus
objectives will also be detailed and how to complete them successfully.
Where applicable, I try to give directions as well.
- Reward: What you get upon successful completion of the quest. The XP
award is given and if there is a weapon or item, the stats are given as
well. Note - on several of the Post-Searing Quests, the rewards consist
of both XP and "Class-Specific" skills. In most cases, unless the quest
has a class restriction, this is one skill for each of your classes. Each
quest now has a list of the skills for each class. This may not be complete
as I update the guide as I play through the game. I do not know if these
change based on what you already have, but I do not believe so.
- Additional quests unlocked: Whether or not the completion of this quest
will unlock any additional quests. For example, after completing the class-
specific training quest in pre-searing Ascalon, Haversdan comes out and
gives you another quest. Quests that you can get from other NPC's without
completing another quest first do not count as being unlocked. An example
of this would be the "trial quests" that you can receive from the six
class trainer NPC's in Pre-searing Ascalon, as you can receive those
without talking to anyone else.
----------------------------------
3. Recommendations
----------------------------------
Now onto the recommendations.
- Spend time fighting randoms and gaining gold and XP. Gold helps you buy
better armor once you get to post-searing Ascalon, which in turn helps keep
your rear-end in the fight. And since the amount of XP awarded by the quest
is not subject to level adjustment (or the fact that you do not receive as
much XP for killing lower-level monsters), it works in your favor if you are a
reasonably high level when you accept the REWARD for the quest.
- Keep someone in your party. While this does split the amount of XP between
the party members, it usually makes a lot of these quests MUCH easier. In
fact, some of these quests are impossible to complete without having a party.
Plus, the XP award is not split among your party members, each character
completing the quest will receive the same award.
- During Missions, always attempt to complete the bonus quest. (in this
guide, missions will have the heading "MISSION: (insert name here)" instead
of "Quest
though you can only gain the award once, no matter how many times you run
through the mission. Again, that is 1000 XP for each person completing that
bonus the first time. Complete the mission, and gain another 1000 XP and one
skill point, which can be used to purchase skills from trainers around the
game world.
- If at first you don't succeed, try again. An old adage, but true. This game
is incredibly well balanced. If you find yourself not being able to complete
a quest because of a low level, spend sometime levelling up. Getting killed
quickly because of a low armor level, buy or craft better armor. Find yourself
without the right skills set (remember, you can only equip Eight!), head back
to town and adjust. Keep on trying, I have yet to come across a quest that is
impossible.
- The Game doesn't stop once your character reaches level 20. Once you reach
level 20, you stop gaining Attribute points and instead will start earning
skill points, which are used to purchase skills from trainers around the game
world. You will find yourself purchasing a lot of skills, even if you don't
plan on using. Remember, every skill you unlock or purchase in the RP portion
of the game also is unlocked for the PvP portion.
- Create a RP character and play through the game even if you plan on mainly
haunting (or terrifying) the PvP circuit. Main reason for this is the more of
the Role-playing portion of the game you have played through, the more skills,
equipment, runes, etc. (you get the idea), you unlock for a PvP character. If
start right into PvP, you will find yourself much more limited than someone
who has played through the game and has a completed character.

4. Quest List
----------------------------------
Here is the quick guide for whether or not this guide covers a specific
quest. It is my hope that eventually, this will be a definitive guide to the
quests offered in Guild Wars, but that will be a long time coming.
This section will be in the same format as the pre and post searing sections,
where the quests are divided by the area in which you receive these quests.
** - after a Quest or Mission will indicate that the walkthrough is not yet
complete for that particular quest or mission, but the mission will indicate
where you receive it, who you receive it from, and the mission reward.

5. Pre-Searing Quests
----------------------------------
All quests contained in this section will be before the searing of Ascalon, or
before you enter the academy by talking with Sir Tydus. For sake of
Convenience, I've organized these in order of where you receive them.
Also, during Pre-searing Ascalon, you do not suffer a Death Penalty when you
die. This area is sort of like a "Training ground" for new people. It is worth
your time to make sure you have done every quest, found every collector and
in general, exploited this chapters possibilities to the fullest, because once
you enter the academy, you can no longer return to this part of the game.
One last thing before I get to what you're really hear to know, in Pre-searing
ascalon there are a series of what I'm labelling TRIAL quests. These are
quests given by specific NPCS - namely the six npcs that have the ability to
give you another profession. When you accept the quest, they will give you the
option of accepting skills from that profession for a while. In nearly every
case, you MUST accept these skills or you will not be able to complete those
quests. This guide will be written assuming those skills have been accepted.
Once those quests have been completed, those NPCs will offer the chance to
take a second profession. Since you can't change your mind later (or at least
not until MUCH later), I prefer to complete all the trial quests and then
make up my mind. If nothing else, if gives you more XP! Just don't forget to
take the second profession before you enter the academy at Ascalon or you
won't be able to take it at all. Though I have heard rumors that once you
reach a point in the game, you will be allowed to change your secondary
profession, I have not reached it yet.
