I couldn't believe my eyes when I first saw a level 6 character in Ring of Fire. After all, I don't even leave the tutorial until a character is level 8. Now I'm getting used to the shock of seeing babes in dangerous places, and it even seems like an interesting challenge...how far could you take a level 1?

Last night a level 5 Necro joined my IDS group in Granite Citadel. He seemed like a nice guy and we let him come along, realizing he would be no help at all. He was able to show us the correct path and had obviously been there before.

Hats off to those who make it to the end of the game still in diapers. What's the lowest rank you have seen?

One of our Guild made it to Emberlightcamp with level 2. But you don't have to ascend to get there. The lowest level I ascended with was lv.13, but I guess you can do it with an even lower lv.

Surely just doing THK would have got him onto lvl 2, unless there is another way to get to the ring of fire?

You only HAVE to get ~1,500 exp to get to the Fire Islands..Thats the few Pre-searing missions you have to do to go to post-searing, and THK's 1000 pt reward. You never even have to SEE the desert to get there.

So lvl2 is quite possible.

The lowest level I ascended with was 12, as a R/W. I got to the Crystal Desert as a level 2, though. =D

kago had a level one in amnoon.... and a lvl 3 at ascension(i believe)

talk to him for more on his amazing feats... xD!

tweakfish · Jan 04, 2006, 07:25 PM // 19:25

lowest level i have seen at ELC was 2. I saw a level 1 at port slead once but he got ran there by his guild. My guildie ascended at level 9 once...

It's not hard. All presearing professional quests are optional. You can be run from ascalon to amnon oasis. You get 1000exp from Santum Clay Mission. 3000exp from each of the desert mission. Afterwards, it's ascension.

For ember light camp. Get run from ascalon city --> beacon perch --> drok --> coopermine --> ironmine --> thunderhead keep --> ember light camp. You get 1000exp from thunderhead keep mission.

Needless to say, you need a guildie/friend to complete missions for you. Either that or pay a lot of $$ to pay someone to let you leech.

The problem is, "you" can't take a level 1 anywhere. In order to get anywhere as a low level, you basically have no choice but to pay to be run, or get your guildies to run for you. I mean sure, you can get a level 5 to Abaddon's mouth, but it's not like you will do any work to get there, you just need a big chequebook.

i never said it was hard to do... i just said that it was amazing the lengths people will go to to get it done. im pretty sure kago had his necro rushed through ascension for free (damn you famous people...). im not quite sure which secondary gives less experience to get, the 500xp from killing the bull or the xp from killing the skeletons in catacombs for their xp. taking that you can go through the little pvp arena (and by a little trick called a bribe,) you can get everyone in your group to just stand there and not kill. getting run to THK and sanctum doesnt give xp. beating sanctum with a tank/healer will give you a flat 1k exp if you dont join the undead in killing imps, so you can be in the desert at lvl 1 (a mere 1900+ exp, or less than 100 short of leveling). i believe that the 3 trials of ascension only give a TOTAL of 3k exp, and will make you a low level 3. or if you beat THK you can still be in ELC at lvl 1 (once again at ~1900xp). regardless, doing this takes either money, or some VERY helpful friends.

A guy in our guild did it, but he had so many high level toons he did this one as a challenge, he even had level one (his intent) as part of his name.

He did it by being careful to do only the minimal necessary to sear, and always being dead so he did not receive any XP.

King's Spectre · Jan 04, 2006, 07:43 PM // 19:43

I've been having fun trying the ascention trials with my lvl 8 (now 9) elementalist and henchies. First I wandered around and got the collector armor. Elona wan't too bad once I realized that I had to do the tanking and let the henchies do the damage. I tried Dunes once but the elementalists spiked me before I got my armor up. Thirsty's going to be a bit rough!

Maxiemonster · Jan 04, 2006, 09:55 PM // 21:55

You could be in the Ring of Fire at lvl 1.

Go through Pre-Searing, that's 750xp. Do the skill quest outside Ascalon City, get a second proffession (500xp) and go through the acadamy. Unless your team kills enemies in the PVP Arena, you'll have 750xp when you get to Post-Searing.

Then get a run from Ascalon all the way to Thunderhead Keep (expensive!) and then get through the mission, that's another 1000xp. Then get a run from Ember Light Camp to the Ring of Fire, and voila!

Ascention at lvl 3 is also possible. Again, 750xp from Pre-Searing. Get a run to Sanctum Cay. Get through the mission, that's 1000xp, get through all the 3 ascention mission (3000xp) and ascend. That's a total of 4750xp. Then you can ascend (it's hard though..) and get another 50000xp, for a total of 54750xp, and that's lvl 11. Watch out though, if you really want to make it at lvl 11, don't get more then 250xp from anything else, since 55000xp is lvl 12

LifeInfusion · Jan 05, 2006, 02:06 AM // 02:06

I fail to see the point. Having anything less than 20 in areas meant for level 20's means you are useless. You don't have enough skill points, skills, or armor level (except for Droknar's runners...*cough*), not to mention attribute points.

Yogi's Pain · Jan 05, 2006, 02:44 AM // 02:44

I'd really like to see a lvl 3 ascended player. Possible in theory but I'd find it hard to imagine a lvl 3 can beat his dopple and not get bonus.

LiQuId StEeL · Jan 05, 2006, 02:52 AM // 02:52

I ascended my ranger at 4. The only reason I leveled to 4 was to get a skill point to beat my dopple. Beat it in ~35 seconds using presear armor and a collectors longbow.

Entirely possible, and entirely useless.

Just how it's supposed to be.

Yogi's Pain · Jan 05, 2006, 02:56 AM // 02:56

You didn't ascend at lvl 4 then my friend. You got the bonus, which put you a few levels ahead. You may have beaten your dopple but once you hit Dragons Lair, you were no longer level 4.

Far as I know you can't get to Dragons Lair without beating your dopple, at least I've never cared enough for the mission to run there. So that would be the test, whats the lowest level you've seen there?

acidic artist · Jan 05, 2006, 03:41 AM // 03:41

i ascended at lvl 10 and it took me to lvl 16. then i went and got my full fow armor at lvl 17 with my necro. too easy, just equip sac skills and its over

O.O What skills did you use?!?

I don't believe HE made it, if you know what I mean. Obviously someone else did it for him.
