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?

Name was Lvl One At Ember

said he was using it as a mule.

Actually, I believe I read somewhere that ANet changed the bonus for Ascencion from leveling up to 20 to 50,000 XP because MANY people were attempting to ascend at levels less than 20, but those who tried to ascend AT 20 were getting no reward for it.

I think, with that previous change, there's no way ANet will make it so that you -have- to be 20 to ascend. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Since no replies to my post, which upsets me more than you can imagine, what is the lowest level character you've seen in Dragon's Lair? This is after all about ascending and not getting to RoF. And anyone with money can buy runs to RoF, but I'm willing to bet that most people can't make a build to beat thier dopple at level 5 or below WITHOUT getting the bonus.

I saw a level 1 at sanctum kay. Everyone in the outpost was shouting abuse at them for using 'hax'

lowest ive seen at dragons is a lvl 10- i dont remember the name, but the low level kinda stuck out.

as for making it possible for only lvl 20's to ascend, i think thats unfair. yeah, its silly for lvl 1's to be there, and if the "requirement" were lvl 15 and not 20 id go for it, but at that point in the game, you should naturally be around lvl 18 (somewhere close to it). i dont think anyone should ever be forced to farm exp to meet a requirement. between 2 accounts, i have 7 level 20 characters (3 or 4 SERIOUSLY close to having done everything aside from UW and FoW quests). many times ive been lvl 16 to 19 in the desert missions and have had lots of trouble getting into groups because i wasnt "uber" enough. when in truth, an experienced lvl 16 can be much better than a lvl 20 who doesnt know what he/she is doing.

i guess its natural to assume a lvl 20 is better to have in a group, but from my experience, most times you see a lower lvl character in a place they probably shouldnt be, that person is probably a decent player.

i do not think it is possible to be lvl 10 at dragons--lowest ascension i have seen is lvl 3 (lulu)

After completing the game with two characters, I ascended my 3rd (Ele/Mes) at lvl 11. I realized then that the doppleganger "mirror self" was not really a mirror, but actually lvl 20 always. It was tough as nails though with that combination against a higher level. I eventually did it (empathy, backfire, mantra of something - to speed up recharge, and the 8 second armour) without even attacking him once. I did notice he shoots through walls though as you're running :-). I got her to warcamp at like level 4 or 5 (maybe earlier), took henchies, and leveled her up a bit there. After ascending I did the class paths, got a lizard, and level her to 20 and lizard to 12 at the footprint..
At this point I dont care about the missions anymore. I just wanted her to ascend so she can go into UW/FoW if I want her to. My lvl 8 Mes/R (with a Stalker) is still in pre and will stay there :-)

You should see my Ne/Me lvl10. I just finished Ice Cave of Sorrows with henches (since I don't need some lvl20 to ruin the mission)

)
Today I am gonna clean Iron Mines or maybe I'll go to Citadel and Grotto, don't know, but it's much more fun then slicing lvl8 Charrs.

Heheh I found out the hard way that they also don't have the same armor as you. Went in with my 55hp gear on and a lot of long cast time skills in the bar thinking I could 2-hit-kill with my sword. Uh.. no.

I was supprised when I signed on for the THK, and we ended up with a lvl 15 monk whoi has not ascened and claimed the it was thier first toon. Now I'm not bashing them monk, they did a good job, but missed out on half the story.

Veripare · Jan 06, 2006, 04:34 PM // 16:34

I have ran with a level 20 R/E and a level 2 ME/W to Droknar's with one of my newbie characters that I'm trying to build up.

This has got to stop...
