Standing at a Crossroad - Guild Wars Forums

Marcola · Jun 17, 2009, 08:37 PM // 20:37

Playing as my lvl 14 W/Mo I've found myself at a crossroad, I can't decide if I should keep on with the newly Eye of the North quests wich I found earlier to day, or if I should return back to Kryta, what would be best?

BTW since I kinda like the story, I would prefear if nobody spoiled huge historical moments

Pardon for possible spelling faults.

Eotn is considerably more difficult than Prophecies. I suggest you continue through Kryta and get a little better at the game first. Otherwise you might end up banging your head against a wall.

Taurean · Jun 17, 2009, 08:58 PM // 20:58

Or you could bang your head to Mot??rhead.

^^ Seriously, stay in Kryta a little more. Gather skills, take your time, get really comfortable with the game before jumping at EOTN.

You would be best finishing prophecies , especially if you are into the story because GWEN takes place a few years after Prophecies lore wise,plus as October Jade already said ,your probably better getting yourself a bigger skill set / better armor as parts of eye of the north can be difficult.

Marcola · Jun 17, 2009, 09:12 PM // 21:12

hehe, this is the reaction I thought I would get, but those EotN quests looks so damn tasty!

Anyway, thx for the quick and great respond

I'd say do both of the 15 point attribute quests before making your way into EotN.

It really doesn't matter, but if you like the story go through in order otherwise...

1) You can get max armor right when you go through the portal to EOTN
2) You can get EOTN and Core skills in EOTN along with pve skills (if you made it to EOTN you have been to LA, so you have already done, or have a majority of the skill quests in proph)
3) You will get heros in EOTN
4) You are under lvl 20 so you get the buff that makes you pretty much equal to lvl 20
5) In normal mode EOTN only has a few mandatory missions/quests that are harder than what you would run across in Proph

I may have missed a few points, but that pretty much covers it.

Stay in Kryta.. Enjoy the game.. Don't jump from beginning to ending for no reason..

(you may want to get heroes first though, they are helpfull xP)

Bluefeather · Jun 18, 2009, 03:23 AM // 03:23

Stay in EOTN until you reach level 20 (it is slow to level up in Prophecy) and then go back to Kryta/Prophecy and finish everything especially the two 15-attrib points and the quests that will allow you to change 2nd profession.

Shadow of Light · Jun 18, 2009, 09:09 AM // 09:09

Well, you should have two heroes just for getting to the first outpost of GWEN. I reckon you need go no further after that until you finish Prophecies

Having a couple of heroes instead of henchmen is really nice.

Arduin · Jun 18, 2009, 09:27 AM // 09:27

If you want the entire story in chronological order, go Prophecies -> Factions -> Nightfall -> Eye of the North.

Should keep you busy for a while.

subarucar · Jun 18, 2009, 07:58 PM // 19:58

I dont belive the order matters to much, but it is good to complete one campaign before moving on to another.
Prophecies has a slow learning curve, and will give you pleanty of time to learn the game, whereas EOTN assumes you know the game well, hence the original lvl 20 requirment.

Dante the Warlord · Jun 18, 2009, 08:37 PM // 20:37

Definately finish up Kryta. You may be wanting to do EoTN, but there are some slight spoilers in there that would make you say awwww why did i do this. If you go straight to the very end, you will find yourself saying why would I want to go back to the beggining when I know how itll end.
