Damn i cant get my ritualist past the mission were you run around with master Togu to ring Shrines and clear some temple of the purple fog stuff without dying.

I spent all weekend to try and get to main land and off the starter island without dying.

Some advise would be great be it runes & insignia builds or skills i need but please for the love of god help me.

I fail as a ritualist completely

Hmm, slight confusion there. If you're with Master Togo, then it's the Zen Daijun mission - if you're actually clearing the purple mist, then you're doing the vitally important attribute point quest that follows it (but then you wouldn't have Togo - just the llama/donkey Zunraa.)

Don't use an assassin henchmen, AI fail at sins. Don't use the blood henhcmen, blood magic sucks except for special circumstances.

Runes etc should not matter at the moment. It's probably down to not having enough healing or damage from your henchmen. Or an utterly terrible build on your part (You should manage with a rather mediocre build).

What is your current level? Perhaps you are trying to do this mission too soon. There is a reason it's tough: you are going to have a very difficult time on the mainland if you aren't at a reasonably high level. You should definitely do all the side quests available to you, if you haven't already, to get your level up.

malevolence · Sep 21, 2009, 01:26 PM // 13:26

what armor lvl you have ?

Espadon · Sep 21, 2009, 02:14 PM // 14:14

There are no blood hench in Seitung, unless we're talking about Zen Daijun. Blood Ritual can be good since monk hench fail at e management.

I agree. If you have trouble with this one, you will hit a few more walls on the mainland. Sure you can get a PUG or group to run you through, but you may want to take the time to learn you character. I doubt you could fail as a Rit.

People commonly fail this mission just before the monk end boss while on the bridge with the Ranger & Rit boss together.

If U are a monk secondary, then protective spirit will be YOUR best bet to survive the last few bosses. If your NOT monk secondary, then professor Gai, the Rit henchmen will bring Shelter. IF you don't want to bring Professor Gai, then you can skill cap Shelter in Haiju Lagoon explorable area before you start Zen Daijun mission. YOUR last option is to use whatever interrupts you can.

Yep its the mission in Zen Daijun were you can just click enter mission and you need ring some bells that summon some kind of horse like creature.

char is a lvl 10 armor is the previous town lvl 45 i think.

using runes that reduse poisening and some other thing by 20% +- 6% chance and give health or armor. and insignia.

In the mean time i have gone to wiki and had a look at builds witch i will try.
I died last night again this aint fun anymore to keep trying to do this and fail.
Nightfalls is a lot easier to unlock other campaigns and eye of the north.

I tried mixed skills different builds of my own and keep failing. I will use the builds in the wiki next time at least the ones that can be unlocked at lvl 10 char.

Thanks for all responses

BrettM · Sep 22, 2009, 10:23 AM // 10:23

Level 10 is far too low to be doing Zen Daijun. You're going to have zero survivability on the mainland, even in max armor. If you travel to other campaigns, you're going to have a difficult time in Kryta, and zero survivability if you try to go to Kourna. In EotN you will be buffed to level 20, but you won't have the skills to last long in the expansion.

Really, don't be in such a rush. You level in Factions faster than anywhere else in the game, so go do the side quests and get yourself properly prepared. The game is a lot more fun if you take the challenges when you're ready for them.

shillo · Sep 22, 2009, 11:11 AM // 11:11

Check this wiki page:

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/List_of_Factions_quests

Do the secondary quests for Shing Jea island - all of them if you can. One problem is that you get a *lot* more experience if you try all the secondary classes before choosing one of them - just doing that would've pushed you to level 11 or 12, if I remember correctly. However, there are plenty other secondary quests to make up for the loss, so just try to level up a bit.

In any case, after Zen Daijun and its follow-up secondary quest (+15 attribute points one), you will go to the mainland to find out that *all* monsters are level 20+. So leveling up to at least 15-ish before you do so is really required.

Another advice, once you level up and try again, at the end of Zen Daijun, you will encounter two bosses on the bridge (ranger and the rit). You have to call the rit as the target to your henchmen - target it, then press CTRL-space. Pack a lot of damage - either he dies fast, or your team does.

Only reason i want to get to mainland is to get max armor and unlock other campaigns then ill go back and lvl up to 17 or so if posible. Ill take it slow.

Ill get my char to that mission and go back and do other quest leave it alone till she is mush higher lvl. Get proper skill for the builds in the wiki.

Thanks All

But, again, why the rush? You don't need max armor for anything on Shing Jea. And what good does it do to unlock the other campaigns before you're ready for them? Furthermore, it will be difficult to get travel to NF unlocked at your level. The Sunspears quest is a lot harder than Zen Daijun. Why is it so important to do content meant for higher-level characters NOW, rather than the content meant for characters at your level?

It seems like you're just setting yourself up for frustration instead of fun. In the long run you can get the things you want a lot faster by doing things in order. How much time have you wasted failing Zen Daijun and looking for a build that will overcome the disadvantages of your level? If you had spent that time leveling up, you would be ready to unlock the other campaigns now instead of still beating your head against the wall.

Covah · Sep 22, 2009, 12:41 PM // 12:41

If you really just want to get max armor get someone to run the mission for 500g-1k then continue on. And remember to do the 15 attributes quests.

I managed to unlock all Campaigns got two pieces of max exotic armor.
Did all 2nd proffesions quests and 2 lvl's higher makes a huge difference.
lvl 10 you die lvl 12 to 13 you servive.

thanks now i can go nice and slow and do all starter island quests and when im bored i can go to nightfall and clear areas i know <--- know most enemy's and areas so a lot better to get gold there with no risk of dying for me
