Default Fastest way to the mainland?

Hey

Been like a year since i brought a character through Factions noob areas
Can anyone give me some sort of list in the best way to get off of the starter island asap? Considering i've Vanq'd and Guardian'd those areas i'm not enthusiastic about going through it all....

Anyone got ideas?

Thanks

You have to do the Primary Quest Trail: No other way

You can knock over noob island within an hour or two.
Grab your secondary, do the primary quests...done!

I actually really like the island, usually stay until pretty decent level (16-18), but if you want to leave fast then just grab yo secondary and primary quests

Primary and profession quests only, should get you out quickly.

Asking a guildie to help you might make it even faster, as you might have problems with the mission if you're too low a level.

Shing Jea is like my favourite place in guild wars, yet it only takes an hour or two to beat.

Default Primary Quests

Do the primary quests. The first mission you can pay someone around 500g and they'll run you in about 5 minutes. The second mission isn't that hard. Just don't bother with any other quests except the primary.

Not sure if all of you count attribute quests as primaries, but you shouldn't forget about those aswell.

Those are required as part of the primary quest line, even if they are not primary quests themselves.

Actually, a monk can get to level 20 and mainland in 4 hours. If I wanted to race with someone, I could make it in 3 hours.

do all the primary quests without the 15 attribute quests, you will get off at around lvl 16 within 3 hours. the attribute quests you MUST do for ovious reasons, but a good thing to do is get off the n00b islands and run to GWEN, just to get the 3 lvl 20 heros. or you can always map to Lions arch and get a guildie to help you with sunspears in Kryta (since its a much easier quest then going from cantha) to get to NF and get the 5 heros you get right away (is it 5? or 4?) which will all be lvl 15. lvl 15 hero with customized build > lvl 13 henchie.

get Ogden, Vekk and Gwen, you get them right away. Ogden and Vekk in the 1sttown and Gwen after you step into HoM which is in 5 mins after you get to the 1st chapter outpost. get them and then go do the 2 attribute quests, the 3 heros will make them much faster.

oh ya, the very last n00b island mission you shoudl get a run through since its a pain in the ass to do at low level with a low level party, and a run only costs 1k, with you just following and its a guaranteed masters.

It's funny - the attribute quests aren't required, but I think they should be.

Even today I saw a post from someone who couldn't understand why he couldn't get 2 of his attributes to 12. He'd missed an attribute quest and had no idea it was there.

Prophecies is no better - the two-stage finding lizard-lips in the desert after walking round and round a mountain until you notice that statue has fallen down. And the ugly bint in a part of the Southern Shiverpeaks you'd never visit otherwise.

There's a faq sticky somewheres...
