Nightfall Equivelant of Ascending? - Guild Wars Forums

Zethron Ahriman · Nov 11, 2006, 10:55 PM // 22:55

Ok, Prophecies = Dessert Missions + beat Dopple.
Cantha = So Whe Nu (sp lol)
Nightfall = ?

Just wondering as I have got a Canthan monk and was wondering if it would be quicker to go to Elona for ascension.

No idea, so I'll correct you on this. Weh no Su.

Sientir · Nov 11, 2006, 10:58 PM // 22:58

To be honest, I really don't know.

If someone does know when this is, that'd be very useful information. There is no "ritual" of any type that I know of. The only thing that I could possibly think of would be ranks or something, but other than that, I just do not know.

Loki Seiguro · Nov 11, 2006, 11:03 PM // 23:03

there are none atm. but you can still go to FoW so im guessing that "acension" is whenever you are able to go to LA

just my thought

Savio · Nov 12, 2006, 12:02 AM // 00:02

I can't find the thread in Elonian Explorers League right now, but it's gaining the ability to change secondaries. In Elona, that's completing the "Building the Base" quests at the Sunspear Sanctuary.

jimmy_logic · Nov 12, 2006, 12:11 AM // 00:11

Hrmmm... thats alot of grind if you started a Elonian character to get there.
All those sunspear points hahahaha.

Lol... I was way way waaay off, thanks ^_^

Knightsaber Sith · Nov 12, 2006, 12:49 AM // 00:49

Well before native Elonians leave Istan you have to do the battle preparations quests and get the blessing from those djinn or whatever which is kinda something...

TwinRaven · Nov 12, 2006, 12:53 AM // 00:53

It comes when you're still on "Noob Island" ...I beleive it's part of your sunspear promotion quests (could be wrong) but it comes with a reward of 15 attribute points...just did it today and STILL can't remember the name of it...

Knightsaber Sith · Nov 12, 2006, 12:55 AM // 00:55

You get the 15 att points just for getting one of the sunspear ranks (forget which one)

kRocket · Nov 12, 2006, 01:55 AM // 01:55

I don't know of any equivalent to Ascension in Factions or Nightfall, but there is a profession changer in both Prophecies and Factions. In Profecies you may complete quests to change secondaries, but in Factions you merely pay for the priviledge. Someone already mentioned that in NF, once you complete the command post, then a profession changer shows up, in the CP.

MegaMouse · Nov 12, 2006, 02:52 AM // 02:52

I'm not sure if this is right but I think that the ascension for the Elonians is when they get the wurm to ride. Someone needs to test this theory though as I havent p[layed an Elonion yet (took my Tyrian Ele through Nightfall first). I would also like to know when and if there is an ascension test in Elona.

Pevil Lihatuh · Nov 12, 2006, 10:51 AM // 10:51

All I can say for sure is that its not while you're on N00b island, simply coz i've done all quests on there, gotten highest rank I can, the 30 attribs and am on Consulate Docks quest, but if I go to a Profession Change, he tells me I am not Ascended/Closer to the Stars yet.

Smile Like Umean It · Nov 12, 2006, 02:01 PM // 14:01

Could it be completing the And A Heroe Shall Lead Them quest? That's the only thing I can think of off the top of my head. I got to Nightfall's equivalent of TOA, but I didn't try actually going down, so I have no idea if I'm already ascended or not.

Erudition · Nov 12, 2006, 02:04 PM // 14:04

I'm guessing it's "Building the Base" or maybe just the Consulate mission...

Darmikau · Nov 12, 2006, 04:54 PM // 16:54

Right now there really is no official determined Ascension in Nightfall. I would assume it's after getting to the Sunspear sanctuary, as there is a profession changer there.

Hyunsai · Nov 12, 2006, 05:15 PM // 17:15

I hope there is not... I was utterly disapointed in Faction when I see the same "Ascension" (You can't see it, but go to the stars and you will be able too... F... !!). One time, ok, but 2...

Smile Like Umean It · Nov 12, 2006, 08:31 PM // 20:31

Hmm, if no one finds out soon I may have to go make a new char and just keep mapping to TOA after each major primary quests to see if they let me go down.

*sigh* The things I do to satisfy my curiosity.

Edit: Anyone tried asking support?

LifeInfusion · Nov 12, 2006, 09:08 PM // 21:08

Chantry of Secrets is where the God statues are at... I think it's relevant to this discussion here. It is akin to Zin Ku Corridor or Temple of the Ages.

On the other hand, if you go by when you are able to actually change secondaries or whatnot, it would probably be the command post, after the building the base quests. One sign of this is after the quests you can buy "elite sunspear armor".

strcpy · Nov 13, 2006, 03:02 AM // 03:02

I'm at the Gate of Madness (next to last mission) and have not seen any "ascension" type things. I would figure if there was one I would have seen it by now

By the time I made it to Chantry of Secrets (following the story) I could go in there. I suppose if you just mean access to the areas then the quest/mission that opens the locked gate before you could get in that area. Since I didn't try to explore ahead of the story I have no idea exactly that point.

I was kinda surprised to see that area that fast, I figured it would be later in the game before we saw the outpost to go to FOW and UW and I expected some type of "ascension".
