hi bretheren, just a qucky someone please. i have recently started factions - the oriental one? am trying to get my warrior "certification"!! seem to be failing on a regular basis....i am currently at level 7. decided to slope off and do some more quests/campaigns. what sort of level should i be to stand a chance of succeeding in the tests? could be that i am just not up to standard skills anyway! thanks for any advice.

Just go back and do it when you're a higher level. Usually I don't bother with it until I'm about level 12 or higher.

Having good armor and skills is more important than the level you are. If you can get to level 7 you should be able to have access to at least 50AL armor from Ran Musu Gardens, and maybe 65AL armor from Seitung Harbor. Using the skills available and having good armor is more important than your level. I was able to complete the quests on characters at level 7, 8 and 10 when I did them on my Ele, Sin, and Rit.

As MagmaRed said. Can you tell us what part of the quest is giving you problem, we cna point you at some strategy.

By the way, that quest is made to make you figure out some strategic aspect. Like making you realise that condition removal can be useful, or that you can interupt a skill, thos ekind of things. So changing strategy makes those quest doable at low-lvl.

EDIT : If you want to check for yourself, here's a link to the wiki page on the Insignia quests :http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Insignia_quest. Be sure to keep that website somewhere, you might need it again.

Take your time with the game. I never try to rush through the game as fast as possible. If you get to a certain place, then good on you. If not, then it is probably a sign to work on getting stronger for a bit.
