When to Join the War

So I just started this game a few days ago, and I have a level 9 Mo/N. As soon as the option was available to join the war, I think I was level 3 I did it. I noticed this changes the whole game, and as I can tell you can never go back to the way the game was.

I guess my question is, there seemed to be no direction as to if I should wait until a certain level to join the war. Can someone exlpain to me when I am supposed to join and if theres anything I should do in the old Ascalon before its destroyed?

The manual doesn't seem to offer any information about things like this, so I'm wondering should I pick up a Guild Wars guide? I'm leveling what seems to be fairly quickly working with others on missions/quests, but I feel very lost with the travel system, knowing where to get skills that I need like resurection, what quests will grant me skills and where to find them.

Just looking for some general help, thanks in advance.

By war...do you mean the missions? Really is no level req, your high enough to do the missions. I usually say start at 5-6, when its your first character.

I joined up at lvl 11 with my mo/W which was a bit high. But I did it then because I wanted to finish all the quests before doing so. I also wanted to grab as much crafting materials, gold, and XP before doing so. As soon as I made the jump through the searing I had more then enough gold and materials to upgrade my armor.

They say at least level 6 and you'll be fine..., but you'll catch people doing it at level 3 and 12.

I usually wait until level 8 or 9 also. That way you are pretty well guaranteed to have around 2k gold (enough to buy storage, and extra bags in postsearing), all the beginning skills, a starter dye collection, and enough crafting materials to upgrade your armor immediately.

here is a link to a skill reward quest checklist. you still have to find those quests by yourself.

I generally advice people to go to academy at around 6+. If you're experienced and not your first time playing, you maybe able to get through with a 3 or 4. However, leveling in Pre-Searing is saver so why not get to a higher level there before venturing forth?

There really is no requirement on when to enter the academy and do most missions.

Great list, Thanks

I need that for my newer Monk Character. I want to get as many skills from missions as possible.
