Anyone want to help? - Guild Wars Forums

Pandora Swiftblade · Feb 28, 2008, 03:45 AM // 03:45

Hi, I'm new to Guild Wars and I noticed a Survivor Title Track in my (h) menu. So I looked it up and decided I would like to go for just the first rank. I am currently level 13. I just started playing yesterday. Would anyone like to help me get to level 20 without dying? I am in Factions, and I've heard it doesn't take long to get to level 20, so hopefully it, well, won't take long!

My in game name is Pandora Swiftblade

Any help would be really nice. Thanks

A few things to note about Survivor Title.

Be carefully when asking people to help you with Survivor, some people will offer to help, and might sabotage your attempt by trying to get your killed by leading the monsters to you.

There is also a negative perception to people attempting to get Survivor. Basically, the rest of the group feels that the Survivor would map out at the first sign of trouble and will not be an asset to the group. So it is best to get your guildmates or trusted friends to help you with Survivor.

Also, being new to the game, you are not very familiar with quests and potentially useful ways of getting lots of experience points. Also you are not familiar with the monsters in the missions and zones, that can be dangerous when trying to be a Survivor.

Lastly, don't worry if you do fail to get Survivor. It is not that hard to get to level 20 in the game, so you can always try again. The more familiar you are with the game, the more likely you'll get Survivor.

I'd try to play through once first before you start going for survivor. That said however, msg me ingame if I'm ever on (Fae Orchid) and I'll bring my monk down.

Oh, I never thought about people ruining my attempt... thanks for the tips. I would ask my trusted friends or guild mates, but I don't really have trusted friends yet, at least in Guild Wars I mean. And I've only found one person in my alliance willing to help me on stuff, but they can't help often, cause they're doing a lot of their own stuff. Thanks for the tips though.

if you havfe eye of the north just do kilroy punchout quest you will level up and if you have your hp down to 0 there is a chance to revive yourself and it will not count as a death just a thought

yeah being new you are probably not aware of which quests to leave be for the time being....and where to farm for xp....

you might also want to check out the wikis for more information on quests and such so you know what you are up against.

The greatest rush I got out of GW was taking my lvl 10 survivor into the low level arenas (tried to map). I felt bad about it, so I apologized in advance...

Sheesh, it's like bundle tanking that works on live players...
