Just Bought Factions and.... - Guild Wars Forums

I have guildwars prophecies already - do I just add the factions key to my existing account

also can I then use my prophecies character and travel to cantha via the quests available in temple of balthazar?

Do I still only get 4 charcater slots even though I have bought factions ?

thanks for any advice I could not find it in the FAQ - but I am a little well very hungover lol....

You get 2 extra character slots and you only need to take the Mhenlo's Request quest from Firstwatch Sergio in Lion's Arch to get a Tyrian to Cantha

What Pointless said only happens if you add the key to an existing account.

cheers can you then go on with that character and complete factions aswell?

I assume there is no benefit to not adding it to an existing account ?

I would say DEFINITELY add it. You get all the skills from both, all the missions for both, and all the profession/weapon/armor choices for both.
The only drawback? 2 char slots instead of 4, but i see no reason to not link anyway

Yes, if you add the Factions key to your existing Prophecies account, you can take your Tyrian born characters into Cantha doing all the quests and missions there AND you can take your Canthan born characters into Tyria as well (via quest at Kaineng Center), and complete missions and quests as well.
Your Canthan born character will get 1000 exp points and 1 skill point for missions done AFTER your character makes it to Lions Arch.

I assume there is no benefit to not adding it to an existing account ?

If you play Factions as a "stand-alone" game, you will not be able to go into Tyria, and vice-versa, and you will not have access to the some important Tyrian skills, and elite captures.
IMO I would add the Factions key to my Prophecies account--you have a better advantage that way with all your characters be they Canthan or Tyrian. Hope this helped.

Cheers, Star Asia

To clarify that, it would be an additional 2 slots which would bring your total to 6, instead of two seperate 4 slot accounts. You miss out on two slots but then you are able to bring your other 4 characters to Cantha. IMO that is more than a fair trade off, unless you want each accounts characters to be land locked on whichever continent they are on. Link the chapters.

thank you - think i will be adding it to my existing account.

cheers all for the advice - top bunch o' lads and lasses on here

benefit of making a new account for factions only: you get 4 slots, and on your other account , 4 more slots, so 8 in total , but not linked together
OR, 6, but linked together. your pick!
