Single Proffession characters. - Guild Wars Forums

I've seen a plain monk and ranger in post-searing (They had no secondary proffessions) And I was wondering if anyone would be able to tell me how they did this.

Where did you see them?

Nope, I just saw him running and asked him how he did it(got no answer of course). My younger brother and youngest brother both saw them in early January

If anyone knows how to do it I'd like to know too, good for a mule

Mandy Memory · Feb 06, 2006, 02:09 AM // 02:09

i know you didnt have to have 2 professions...I was unaware they changed this (can you not go post unless you have 2 professions now?)

EiS · Feb 06, 2006, 02:15 AM // 02:15

As far as i know youdon't have to have a 2nd profession its completely up to you but it is a good idea to run a 2nd profession just for the extra skills you could use and stuff just in the beggining don't choose a 2nd profession just keep your single one

darkMishkin · Feb 06, 2006, 03:39 AM // 03:39

Are you sure you didn't see these people in PvP available areas?

Dogman · Feb 06, 2006, 04:05 AM // 04:05

Choosing a second proffesion is a primary quest in pre-searing. You can not get into post-searing without having a second profession. It may have been different in the past, and it's just a case of extremely old characters popping up, or it's just a name display bug.

Soul Shaker · Feb 06, 2006, 07:53 AM // 07:53

Anyone, why would ya wanna do that? If you really don't want a second profession, take monk. Everyone loves a res...

Kamatsu · Feb 06, 2006, 09:07 AM // 09:07

IIRC a long time ago you used to be able to go through the searing without getting a secondary profession. Whether this was a bug or a "design" fault (benefit? LOL).. it got changed not too long after GW's release so that you needed to have a secondary profession.

So it might be those are old, old character's that went through early on.. or it's a bug that your not seeing their secondary profession.

Shattered Self · Feb 06, 2006, 10:46 AM // 10:46

PVP characters don't have to have secondary professions either, but if you saw one of these characters in the war camp then it wasn't a PVP character.

=HT=Ingram · Feb 06, 2006, 11:19 AM // 11:19

u used to be able to go 1 profession only... but I thought they changed it to a requirment for going to the academy that you have 2 professions... Maybe its back to the old way. just get to level 3 or 4 and go to academy... and off you go... Kinda messes up a little though as I dont thing you can get to full 200 attrib points without second profession.... I know PvP can do it no problem though...

Kinroan · Feb 06, 2006, 12:16 PM // 12:16

u sure this wasn't just a henchie?

Ondo · Feb 06, 2006, 03:44 PM // 15:44

You must have a secondary to cross to post. I have tried, with every character I have created, to cross with just the primary and he won't let you. Even in a group of two he will state that the one profession person is not ready.

.

it was changed for the retail version.

if they havent vanished in the muck of time some of the threads were fun as people were yelling (BWE) that the warning to get a second profession had to be made much more prominent as they went through thinking they could get a secondary later on.

Anet took no chances on somebody missing 10 warnings in a row and then complaining by making the secondary mandatory for the retail release.

the yells back then were impressive

Jiao Yang · Feb 06, 2006, 06:13 PM // 18:13

i think i know how it used to be done...
Do all the quests up to the point where u 2nd prof.. join someone ready to go into the academy and they go and talk to that guy (with that name) then u both go to the academy and can get though without a 2nd prof.

I may be wrong but that seems plausable.. its changed now tho

Eadric · Feb 06, 2006, 10:23 PM // 22:23

IMHO a secondary profession should be an option. I know several who don't use their 2nd at all because for those skills to be effective you have to bring down the points of your primary and then it is not as effective it could/should be.
