Well, thats pretty dang hard to say the least. You could just run from place to place and not do any missions. I dont think any of the missions are necessary up to that point except thunderhead, to teleport to ember light camp. Youd also have to run from beacons to dracnors, (at level 1)

But come to think of it, Im pretty sure the 1000 XP from Thunderhead would give you Level 2 automatically. I mean, the 150 XP quest in the very beginning gives you like 1/8 of your XP bar.

Not possible to get to RoF at level 1. Even if you could get out of pre-searing at level 1 (you can't), you'd have to beat thunderhead keep to get there, earning at least 1000 exp for finishing the mission (and you can't win without killing certain bosses).

A friend of mine beat the game at level 19 a few days ago, just 1000 exp short of 20.

You can get out of pre-searing at level one, people do it.

beating thunderhead, you do have to kill the boss but if the level 1 guy doesnt fight he doesnt get xp.

thunderhead is the furthest you can get cuz to get to ring of fire you need to beat that and thunderead will give you 1k xp and make you level 2.

Huh. Perhaps if you die at the begining of each mission and have a guildie do the rest for you?

Well, I think that's assumed because getting xp for even a single level 20+ kill is probably going to just about level you. Nope, gotta run in, die instantly, and then dirt nap through the rest of the mission. Still get the XP for completing the mission even if you didn't do a single damn thing to get it done.

Get out of pre-searing by doing your primary and secondary quest. Get rushed to Beacon's without killing anything, and then get rushed to Droknar's. Then get rushed to the last mission before Ring of Fire, and do that. I think it's Thunderhead Keep.

EDIT: To get to lvl 2 you need 2k experience right? Well Thunderhead Keep is 1k, and primary + secondary quest + Academy in Pre-Searing Ascalon is less than 1k.

As far as a runner will take you. Cept that you gotta do Thunderhead to get to the Ring of Fire.

I beat the game at lvl 2 and became lvl 2 upon beating Hells Precipice and I think thats the earliest that you can beat the game because you get 1K for Thunderhead, 150 for Each pre-seer quest that you have to do, and 1K for Hells Precipce. That is 2,300 xp and thats the minimum to have beaten the last mission in the game.

Is it possible to run from the Ember Light camp to Hell's Precipice? I didn't think you could, it dropped you off at the start of the Ring of Fire mission, which leads directly to Abaddon's Mouth, which leads to Hell's Precipice. No way to run between mission points without doing the missions themselves, right? And no way to do the missions without getting the 1k for completing them. So how'd that work again, tippy?

Also, the other thing that doesn't add up is that those 1st and second quests in pre-searing usually have you kill at least one or two critters, which adds a little more xp to the mix. Probably not enough to matter on its own, but more xp all the same.

lol EmperorTippy Don't post things that aren't true. And if you do, at least think about the untrue stuff you post. Thunderhead Keep, Ring of Fire, Abbadon's Mouth and Hell's Pricipe.. That's 4,000 xp.

And for the killing in Pre-Searing. It's possible to let someone else kill them while you're out of aggro, that also completes the quest.

Dont you have to do a mission to get from sanctum cay (i think) to crystal desert anyway?

May be wrong, but i thought you had to help the guy summon the ship.

Well, the armor doesn't really matter, as armor is just a symbol of how much money a character has.

You can beat the game at level one if the rest of the team is able to drag your dead weight around.

in conclusion, you cant get to the ring of fire, and thunderhead keep is the farthest you can get

Actually Batou, I beg to differ. You can even get to the Ring of Fire mission itself at L1, as the quest reward xp is collected after the boat trip from Cap'n Grumby. Didn't realise it myself 'til later, but got to ELC and took a screenie, which I'm hoping I've attached right.

This has been concluded before. You can, technically, finish Hell's Precipice and be level 1 when you arrive back in Droknar's afterwards.

1) Do the only tiny quests in Pre-Searing that are necessary

2) Go through the Academy

3) Get run all the way to Thunderhead

4) Die at the start of the Thunderhead mission and don't get resurrected, the other seven in the team complete the mission

5) Go into Perdition Rock from Ember Light Camp, die, the rest of the team kill all enemies on the way to the boatman then come back and resurrect you, you then go to the boatman and go across to Ring of Fire

6) Die at the start of each of the following three missions and the rest of the team complete them.

Ehh, Symeon, it can't be done, even if you're dead during the missions, you get the experience for completing the missions.
Lvl3 is the lowest, because you have about 1800exp in RoF. 3000 more, you're at the bottom end of 3.

150 per presearing (2)
1k for thunderhead
500 > RoF
1k for Rof
1k for Abaddon's
1k for Hell's

4,800 Minimum...

That's the bare minimum, because that counts on you getting absolutely no experience from monster kills.

Unless I've screwed up my math...

Unless I've screwed up my math... Yes you have, its 4,300. 4000 for the 4 missions you must do to complete the game. You don't have to get the quest reward to reach RoF. I'll leave the pre-sear stuff to you lot, haven't paid much attention to them quest rewards.

Any non-mesmer character can get to the Ring of Fire mission at level 1.
(the bull gives too much XP in presearing, mesmers can get to ring of fire at level 2)

I hate doing this, I mean it pains me to say this, but EvilSod, you are incorrect.

I did the mesmer quest in pre-searing with a guy who was a mesmer. He stayed near the princess (or whomever she was that gives you the quest in the first place) and I killed the weak bull. All of a sudden, I see the message from the mesmer (I was a ranger/Monk), $&#@!@#!. I asked what's wrong. He said he got XP for the kill. I said, "yeah, so." He didn't want any XP. He wanted to go to Hell's Precipice at level 1. Now he was like 1/2 way to level 2.

EvilSod, I have read many of your postings, and you are very knowledgable when you post things, that's why I hated to say you were mistaken.

I've seen level 3s in the desert, level 5 in Hell's Precipice. I think I've seen a level 3 in THK. I must admit that I haven't seen any one lower than that in those places, but I believe it is possible to be level 1 or 2 in Ember Light Camp.

not to flame or anything ... but honestly, whats the point to doing this ?

ive seen many extremely low levels in places they dont belong. to what end ? what does it accomplish ?

are people so depserate to create some artificail ability in low level arenas that they get as far as they can to cap and get droxs armor just to beat up on people they dont have the skill to beat otherwise ?

im so glad this has been stopped in Cantha/Factions.

thank this kind of BS for the reasons

i dont know the reasons for the OP, but i just cant justify a logical reason why anyone does this ... maybe its me

couple things. the actual math is:
500 xp to confirm your primary (<Profession> Test)
250 xp for doing the quest for a secondary (depends on secondary. "A Mesmer's Burden" for example. which you can have someone else kill the bull and you not get the kill xp. tried and it worked)
250 xp for the quest to confirm you have a secondary and are ready to precede (A Secondary Profession)
100 xp to confirm you're ready to go to postsearing (The Path to Glory)
-----------
1100 xp

all of those quests are REQUIRED to get out of pre-searing. in the past it might have been different (in fact i know it was) but currently it's impossible to get to ember light camp at level one. 2000 xp is lvl2 and you'll get 1k exp for finishing THK whether you are dead or not

If you stay at the beginning of the map or go somewhere else and you let other people do stuff, all the experience is for them, all the drops are for them, you get zero.

Here is a level 1 in Droks back in August 2005.
To get to level 2 is 2k xp.
There was a pic somewhere for a level 1 in Ring of fire but I cannot find it.
To be able to get to these areas, you have to be ran by other people (or if you have 2 accounts and 2 PCs then you can run yourself like I do)
To do Droks to get to Ring of Fire, you do not have to fight, just stand next to the starting area so you wont get xp when mobs die.
Voila you are in RoF.

i've tested it with multiple classes and the least xp i can leave presearing with is 1100 xp (again, with the current system as I know it was changed in the past). I have not found a way to bypass any of those 4 key quests (500,250,250,100 xp) and still have the guy let you leave pre.

100k? What the hell? Unless you grossly overpaid or got ran in times when the pricing alot higher then something isn't right there.


Furthest i've gotten is the desert @ lvl 5ish. Though mine wasn't on purpose, rather guildies were doing runs right around the time my necro was born.

In the real world these kind of people are known as losers deadbeats and users. Oh could you guys go kill some bad guys i'm broke i need some gold. This makes that player no better than the beggars on the streets of Ascalon asking for gold for hours at a time. The fact is that number one at the top of his screen is just a way of saying ( I'm an a$$hole and in no way do i deserve to be here can you give me something). It doesn't say a lot for the people that helped him either IDIOTS OR FOOLS take your pick. At best a very shallow accomplishment.

As long as he doesn't come here to tell he'd beat the game being lvl 1 or 2, because the game is sooooo easy.
I personally hate it when people join my party at even lower lvl than a hench. Even when they have 60DP, they will still claim to be better players than others.
A lvl 1 with a title, that would be something
