Changing a Factions character secondary profession? - Guild Wars Forums

vader · Aug 24, 2010, 06:16 PM // 18:16

Is Senji's Corner the only place a Factions character can change their secondary profession? I created a Ritualist / Monk that I'm going to go for Survivor on and I really don't want to take her through the Vizunah Square mission (cutscene mainly) if I don't have to.

As far as I know, you can take that character to prophs and go beat the doppleganger for ascension. Then you can change professions in the GTOB or the Sunspear Sanctuary after you do prisoners of war.

Although i'm not sure if a factions character needs to become weh no su before they can change or if they can just go to prophs, maybe someone who is sure can confirm

You can change your secondary in Nightfall after completing Hunted!
Then do Prisoners of War to make the NPCs appear in the Command Post.

You can be from any campaign to do this, to my knowledge, as I have never heard otherwise and think I have done it for my ritualist

Can you not also travel to the Great Temple of Balthazaar and change your profession from the Profession trainer in the back?

majoho · Aug 24, 2010, 06:52 PM // 18:52

I'm pretty sure you can only use that one IF you already have ascended in some way already.

Epitaph · Aug 24, 2010, 08:44 PM // 20:44

Oh. You are most likely correct I think I remember something like that now. Then yeah, either get a run ot the desert and kill your Doppleganger or do the Hunted! quest with Prisoner of War

Changing secondary prof:

Prophecies: after ascension (Augury Rock mission), in one of three desert outposts.
Factions: after Closer-to-the-Stars (Nahpui Quarter mission), in Senji's Corner.
Nightfall: after Hunted! and Prisoners-of-War in the Command Post.

I was unable to change the 2nd profession of my sin even after i defeated my Doppleganger and completed The Hunted. I wasn't able to change it until after I did the Naphui Quarter Mission.

If I am correct, the only way to change your characters 2nd profession is by following the method in the campaign that the character was created. Prophecies = Defeat your Doppleganger, Factions = Complete Naphui Quarter Mission, and Nightfall = Complete The Hunted quest.

But I could be wrong.

you have to ascend in the campaign you started in doesnt work in others

Mashiyu · Aug 24, 2010, 09:05 PM // 21:05

I'm just curious, but why do you want to change your secondary? Normally my bar is full of rit skills (or PvE skills for that matter)

If you have EotN, I'd recommend Fronis Irontoe's Lair - it's the easiest (and most boring) way to get survivor - unless you want to REALLY EARN that title.

I didn't really want to do Fronis' lair hundreds of times. I figured if I could change my secondary I could cap skills which would help move things along.

I'm pretty sure only NF characters can ascend through Hunted!, but I also believe that any campaign character can ascend via Dopple or Weh no Su.

^^ This.

Also, it is far better for a survivor to ascend through Prophecies, because you get a whopping huge XP bonus (50,000 XP) for defeating the dopple if you haven't already ascended. I ascended my survivor rit through Prophecies, so I guarantee it can be done.

Still, if you can find someone you can trust to synch with you on Vizuneh, then it is a good idea to do it after you ascend. There are a lot of high-XP quests beyond it and on into Luxon and Kurzick territory. Those go a long way towards survivor if you're planning to do it by quests/missions/skill caps. And there are a lot of good skills to cap, as well.

Yeah.. its needs to be Weh No Shu before you can change professions.. will cost you gold for each profession you add to your character but you will only have to do it once.

When in game type /wiki profession changer in the chat box and a page will pop that will tell you who all the profession changers are and where they can be found.

As said before, After uve got ascended, [Doing nahpui quarter, Doppleganger or quest hunted] U can change ur secondary profession from great temple of balthazar

Stroon · Aug 25, 2010, 01:22 PM // 13:22

What prevents you from going all hero/henchmen in some unused district, and leaving if you get another player in the opposing party? Then you can safely skip the cut scene.

From the wiki http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Ascension

Quote:

A Canthan character can ascend in Tyria before completing Nahpui Quarter.

A Tyrian character can gain the non-exclusive benefits of ascension by becoming Weh no Su in Cantha before completing Augury Rock.

An Elonian character can gain the non-exclusive benefits of ascension by ascending in Tyria or becoming Weh no Su in Cantha before completing Hunted!.

Only Elonian characters can gain the non-exclusive benefits of ascension by completing Hunted! in Elona.

Tyrian and Canthan characters can still acquire the 50k exp ascension bonus from Augury Rock after completing Hunted!.

A Prophecies character skipping Ascension will not have access to The Hero's Challenge and the attribute points available after that.

Also from the wiki, the Survivor Guide http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Survivor
