I just deleted him, and remade a new one..

I got the 15 point attribute quest. Got my secondary prof. Reason docks was blinking prob because i got a ferry there. I ran threw every part of the map. Picked up the last couple quest and there was a couple other ones but they didn't have sunspear points connected to them. Did them anyways but after the quest it led to a deadend.

Guess i should of spent more time worry about the sunspear points than leveling up.

Still dunno why that happend. oh, well!

You're completely stuck and it's kinda your own fault for not taking any blessings, sigh.

dansamy · Dec 10, 2006, 05:45 AM // 05:45

You *have* to take the blessings while you are out exploring and leveling up, otherwise you run out of quests, etc and get stuck at a Sunspear rank that is too low to progress into Jokanur while your character's level is too high to get blessings from the areas you have access to. Voila! You get stuck.

Wacky · Dec 10, 2006, 02:05 PM // 14:05

Surely it can't be an intended feature of the game to have people permanently stuck somewhere... why don't you file a bug report and hope ANet fixes it eventually?

birdfoot · Dec 10, 2006, 02:25 PM // 14:25

I'd say it's more of a flawed game design. For a clueless player, one may not know that bounties were required. I have some friends who started GW (with NF as the starting chapter) actually doing that and were trying to grind to level 20 on the small island. Not really the fault of the players, NF can be quite confusing for a player who doesn't keep track of "!" on top of NPCs' heads.

I think it's better for ANet to capture the exception, perhaps by adding more quests at Jokanur Diggings or Kamadan so that those players can still earn their Sunspears at level 20 and even when they can't go through Blacktide Den or Bekanur Harbor.

@ OP:

Perhaps it's better for you to file a bug report to ANet, this looks like an exception that they may not know about.

Bad advice = deletion. Please don't try to help someone out if you don't know what you're talking about, such as attempting to do Consulate Docks before you have the appropriate primary quest, as you cannot.

Batou of Nine · Dec 11, 2006, 06:01 AM // 06:01

Umm... 1 point out of my many points was wrong. So that somehow voids the rest of my advice? I guess no good deed goes unpunished eh?

Anywhoo, to the OP, sorry you had to end up deleting, best of luck in the rest of the game!

cheers!

Not true. I am currently R6 (Commander) & lvl18. I haven't been able to get any bounties since I hit R6 (~ lvl17).
So as long as you are under R6 you should be able to get bounties to lvl20.

strcpy · Dec 11, 2006, 10:57 AM // 10:57

Can you tell us how you got to level 20 without doing Jokanur Diggings and not taking any bounties at all? If you had done just a few of them there should have been enough quests to carry on and once you clear Jokanur there should be plenty of quests and the southern areas open.

The other thread the individual in question was really secretive about how they did it. Since the game obviously pushes you away from this (there are only one or two quests that spawn a few enemies at a high enough level to even come close to doing this) you most likely used an exploit. While most of the time that works just fine (and some may even eventually be officially endorsed like getting level 20 in pre-searing), you never know what will happen by doing so.

I hope you didn't loose too much time over it. I know that can be frustrating - especially if it took a lot of grind to do.

dr love · Dec 15, 2006, 05:40 AM // 05:40

you can get ferried to tyria/cantha i think.
get lvl 20 there
come back to elona = screwed!

Fanatic · Dec 18, 2006, 09:53 PM // 21:53

The OP was not stuck. I created an Elona character. Ferried myself to Cantha where I very quickly leveled myself to 20 then went back to Elona. Went about my business on the primary mission line without a hitch. You can get the required sunspear points for the primary mission line by doing all the quests available. The OP did not do the diggins mission thus could get into blacktide den which after doing that mission open up the other southern region. Other than the exploit to ferry to docks there is no "hacking" involved. But since he deleted his character anyway there is no longer a point to find out what he is missing to continue (like did he know he has to talk to the npc in diggins to enter the mission?). Anyways, just my 2cents.
