I don't have any Primary Quest in my log??? - Guild Wars Forums

us_matrix · Aug 22, 2005, 05:51 PM // 17:51

Hi,

When i hit (L) key and have 8 - 10 quests but none of them is Primary quest?
What can i do now with those existing quests? Thoses quests are not neccessary to finish right? All i have to finish all of them to discover new area (map)? I am in Piken Square city.

Also, regarding upper right corner map direction. I usually see a Green Triangle on the map for direction to the quest after i select the quest from log. But none of my existing quests showing Green Triangle? How do you guys finish thoses quest w/o Green Triangle? The city is so huge and keep walking everywhere?

Thanks.

finish those quests and you may discover something new.

you have to select a quest in the quest window for the arrow to show up. but if the quest is more than one maq away, I believe in most cases, you won't see the arrow until you get one map closer.

If you want more info, let us know where you are and we can probably tell you what your primary quest is.

If you are still in post-searing Ascalon, that just means you have to go to the main queuest that is "Great Northern Wall"

Hi,

I finished the training ground (I guess it calls post-Ascalon city) and in Great Nortern Wall. Finish some qust in Ascalon City and Pekin Square.
But when i read the quest in log. The subject of the city is Pekin Square and i am in Pekin Square town but still not showing the green triangle? Is that mean the quest is finish at Pekin Square? Like on e i foroget the quest name but the mission is go to find a Temple in Pekin Square and collect someone's ashes...... No Green Triangle. How you do it? Keep walking everywhere in the map to find it W/O any direction?

I am newbie here. What is Primary quest for? Is that mean i have to finsh Primary quest before next new area (map) appear? I bought the GW guide and look at the map. The map has many cities and areas. How to i get there?

Thanks.

Xonic · Aug 22, 2005, 06:43 PM // 18:43

you can get to the new towns mostly by doing missions, or by going there directly by running.

join a group and follow them to the quest area. you don't have the green arrow probably means you are still too far from the quest map.

wait, isnt piken one of the first mission cities?

us_matrix · Aug 22, 2005, 06:50 PM // 18:50

I have alraedy finish at least 10 quests or more after post-ascalon.
Most were done in Ascalon city and Piken City?

Is Primary quest consider must complete mission? Why i don't have Primay in my log now?

sidepocket13 · Aug 22, 2005, 06:56 PM // 18:56

primary quests help you get to the next city for missions. i believe piken is a mission city. there might be a box on the right hand side of the screen (or wherever your party window is) that says enter mission or something like that. you dont HAVE to do primary quests to get to the next area. you can have a runner take you there, or farm there on your own with henchies or other players. but you have to know where to go to catch up to the story.

>you can have a runner take you there, or farm there on your own with >henchies or other players. but you have to know where to go to catch up >to the story.

Here is the point, how do i know where to go? The quest log (L key) only tell me to go there go do something but it did not tell me what will be after that?
I am pretty much stuck in the area (between Ascalon City and Pekin Square for quite a while) and not seeing any new area?

Xonic · Aug 22, 2005, 07:01 PM // 19:01

no, piken is not a mission city.

northern wall, next to ascalon is the first mission city post-searing.

us_matrix · Aug 22, 2005, 07:04 PM // 19:04

Yes, I finished Nortern Great wall mission too. And stuck in this area now.

IlikeGW · Aug 22, 2005, 07:04 PM // 19:04

Primary doesn't mean much.

You need to go to co-op missions to move through the real story.

sidepocket13 · Aug 22, 2005, 07:04 PM // 19:04

have you talked to everyone in each area with a green "!" over their head? have you looked for cities that say "cooperative mission" when you zone in? those are the only 2 choices you have.

us_matrix · Aug 22, 2005, 07:36 PM // 19:36

I have talked to everyone with Green ! over their head and accept all of their quests.

>have you looked for cities that say "cooperative mission" when you zone in? >those are the only 2 choices you have.

I don't see "Cooperative mission" in cities? What is that mean? Is that mean i have to find some othes to finish the mission? Where i can learn more about this?

ZenPali · Aug 22, 2005, 07:39 PM // 19:39

Post some screenshots of your zoomed-in map. Try to make sure you cover all the towns marked on the map.

Eagle923 · Aug 22, 2005, 07:52 PM // 19:52

If you finished Defend the Wall, you should have ended up in Fort Ranik. Do the Fort Ranik mission, and you end up in an outpost NE of the Defend the Wall quest. From there, you get a "Primary Quest" to head to the Ruins of Surmia. Then you end up in Nolani Academy after that.

Most "missions" will end you at another mission. But some end you at an outpost, and you need to follow a "primary quest" to get to the next mission.

Look at your map and find a flashing shield. It will be the mission that you haven't done. If one isn't flashing (make sure to zoom out and find all the ones you have), then you should be somewhere at an outpost after a mission.

us_matrix · Aug 22, 2005, 07:57 PM // 19:57

OK and i will post some screen shots for the map tonight.

Thanks.

Arvydas · Aug 22, 2005, 08:03 PM // 20:03

If your quest ends at Piken Square and you're actually in it, you should see the green star instead of the arrow. Check your quest log, and talk to the NPC indicated. Some NPCs have multiple quests available, so you need to select the one that apply to your current quest.

Towns that are marked as shields on the map are cooperative missions. They are different from quests. I believed what you have done was to go to the Great Northern Wall, but didn't enter the mission there. If you've entered the mission there (press "Enter Mission" in that town) and finished it, you should end up in Fort Ranik.

Piken Square is not a mission town, and has no primary quests available. It's more of an optional town.

us_matrix · Aug 22, 2005, 08:37 PM // 20:37

Yeah, That's why i see different icons in the map. Some has Shield w/something on it and some cities just has Red, Green, Yellow dot. What does those mean? Any URL to expalin these?

Arvydas · Aug 22, 2005, 08:44 PM // 20:44

If you have your guild wars manual (not the Prima guide), there should be a section explaining Missions and Quests, as well as outposts and towns. That should be sufficient for you to learn the basics.
