"err, to go to uw you need to be ascended."
I think that changed (did for FoW that's for sure).
He's level 15. Actually, you can ascend at extremely low levels with physical resistance and a non i-monk build. Above level 10 you can do it with an i-monk build. Not going to bother to explain how to do it all as you've already made up your mind "no way". I believe in there's no such thing as impossible, only improbable. Although it's not that hard, my friend just ascended at lvl 7 and it took him to level 14, he's a noob^^

. Thank god I've proven this to myself though anyways, otherwise I'd just be sounding like another ignorant person wouldn't I? And it seems there's enough of them to go around in this thread doesn't it? Heh.
Regardless, he's level 15 and if he's ascended or not, droks farming before hand would get him to level 20 in no time (he didn't just mention UW farming if you look).
