Couple of noobie questions - Page 2 - Guild Wars Forums

Yes, but the only way is if you have those skills unlocked on your acct (either through pvp play or from another character having learned them) at which point you'll ba able to purchase them from any trainer in the proper chapter. What I mean is, no you can't start off with them, but you'll be able to buy them for example as soon as you get to Lion's Arch and have access to the boat to factions or nightfall. But you can't buy nightfall skills in prophecies, you have to travel there and buy then come back. Once you learn a skill though, you may use it anywhere.

Edit: wow, that was really poorly explained. Yes you may use any skill which you know anywhere, but in order to learn a Factions skill, you'll need to learn it IN factions etc... So if you have a prophecies character, no factions or nightfall skills *at least until* you reach lions arch and boat to that continent (some skills are only available later and can't be gotten that easily).

Check out guildwiki at http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Main_Page for info on professions, armor, weapons, gameplay, beginner area check list.
And read the Scams section.

Also, read the quest section to make sure you don't miss any of the skill award ones or merch awards that can be sold for several platinum to a player. The -50hp cestus that is a reward for the Cities of Avalon quest is worth 6-9k which will help with the cost of max armor.

The skills that were added in Factions and Nightfall, can they be used in Prophecies? So say someone starts playing Prophecies and has also bought Factions, can he choose those skills during Prophecies?

Yes, Factions skills can be used in Prophecies. However, Factions skills are only available to learn in Factions (and Nightfall skills are only available to learn in Nightfall). The character would have to migrate to Factions to learn the skills, but will keep those skills when s/he moves back to Prophecies (once a character unlocks travel to other campaigns, it is very quick and easy to move between the various continents and stock up on all the various local skills).

Back with more questions

Installed the game yesterday, put a good few hours in to it, thoroughly enjoyable. I've done a bit of the main story now, an hour or so past the "2 years pass" part.

If a mate starts the game, I'm assuming I can't go "back in time" to meet him I have to wait until he gets to the same time as me. However, how does that work with quests? If I've done all the missions up to Shiverpeaks, can I then go back to Ascalon to help him through the missions, even though I've completed them?

Once a character leaves pre-searing ascalon, you can never take that character back there. However, you can redo missions in post-searing (the "2 years later" part) as often as you want. So as soon as your friend makes it to post, you can go help him through all the missions. This could be a benefit to you as well - if you missed out on the bonus objectives in any of the missions the first time you played them, you could go back to them and aim for the bonus reward
