Quick Run through the Game - Guild Wars Forums

chaos of the elemen · Jan 13, 2006, 02:52 PM // 14:52

Hi all, I recently beat the game, and it was really fun. I am debating making another character (Monk) but I don't wanna have to play through the whole game again.

I have seen level 3's in Droks, and I was wondering, is there a quick way to rush through the game, or atleast rush to lvl 20?

Can someone explain what I would have to do?

Thanx.

check out this forum:
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/f...play.php?f=211

there are people who offer their running and power levelling services, but it does come with a (sometimes quite hefty) price. unless you have a friend who is willing to help you out, hiring a runner or power leveler is really the only way to do what you want to do.

the ones on these forums are usually a bit pricy, but they have most likely been proven to be reliable. you can find cheaper services in game, but you always run the risk of a possible scammer or unreliable runner. it's a choice that you will have to make. just shop around and see what best suits your needs.

1. Get run from Ascalon City to Yak's Bend (should be pretty cheap).
2. Get run from Yak's Bend to Beacon's Perch (should be even cheaper).
3. Get run from Beacon's Perch to Droknar's Forge (the most expensive run).
4. Get run from Droknar's to Ice Caves of Sorrow (should be pretty cheap).
5. Complete all of the missions after that. You can actually get run to Thunderhead Keep, but for the most part that run is not worth it when the two missions to get there (Ice Caves and Iron Mines) are really easy and you need to get your armor infused anyways in the Iron Mines mission.

You won't be ascended, but that really doesn't matter unless you want to go into the Underworld or FoW. If you want to get ascended, you'll have to get run to Sanctum Cay from Lions Arch (Temple of Ages in on the way), and then complete all of the desert missions.

The Ice Caves are so close to Droknar's Forge even a level 3 could grab henchies and fight the way there in about 2 minutes...if that. Fighting this short distance could be faster than the time it takes to find a runner.

noob question I know, but a runner? is that someone you would hire to take your char to a particular place, right? I see these people offering like "running from...to...." whisper me. They run my char, not theirs right.

Im a noob please forgive me

You group with the "runner" and that person takes the group from point to point. So the runner uses his or her own character, but your character is part of the group. And even if your character dies along the way, it is delivered to the new location as long as the runner arrives there alive.

Sorry for spelling this out in such simplistic detail but - given your question - I wanted to do my best to answer without being confusing.

Runner are typically warriors with skills such as sprint that can get your character from A to B in a quick amount of time since they don't fight their way there they just run. Whenever they enter the town or outpost your character will automatically enter as well so that location gets added to your map.

Edit: What he said above me..

Err.... Don't rush a character your new at (If you've never tried monk) to droks, play the game, become a good monk. It's just stupid if your wearing full droks armor at nolani acedamy IMHO.

theclam · Jan 13, 2006, 10:47 PM // 22:47

It's a waste to rush a Monk. You'll never be a good Monk unless your do missions with parties that are just barely good enough to win.

BooRay · Jan 15, 2006, 04:12 PM // 16:12

Thanks for the reply all. Finding out that I have my pace I want to play at and that suits my char better.

Have 3 buds I started playing with. We all joined a same guild and they are taking us through some missions, very difficult ones to. Should say the other 2 chars since I have yet to join.

Anyway, I am just doing my missions, quests as they come up and available to me. I really want to play the game through and not rush it.

Thanks again
