I hit 20 the first Time in Snakes Dance. Go to Beacon's Perch and get an actual group and fight your way through Lornar's, Dreadnought and Snakes on the Way to Rankor.

I've completed the game with 3 characters but to this day fighting through Lornar's at 17 was the hardest accomplishment. It took me three tries and on the winning trip I hit 20.

If you get a group that's got the backbone for the trip it's great fun.

For those wondering I hit 20 of course. It was me and a buddy and we spent 3 hours trying to kill Galrath. It was a tough fight for an E/Mo and a R/N and the rest henchies. With 60% DP and and the map in chaos cause we tried just plain running it a couple times we finally get to galrath and slaughtered him quickly and without loosing anyone. After little bit of dancing on his corpse we map traveled back to Lions Arch and simutaneosly hit accept for the quest reward! Hoooray lvl20........... Now what lol missions and pvp wooohooo!

Oh well henchies don't complain.

Finishing the last mission would be the coolest time to hit 20 IMO.

Yeah this sucks, and I don't know if this deserves another thread or not, but... back in the first week of Guild Wars being released, there were LOTS of us doing Glint's cave at level 18-19 and finding a group was never a problem, and we'd go on to finish Thunderhead Keep in one or two tries, etc. etc. etc. Now, after going through all the missions to get to Ascension, I think I'll be hitting Glint's cave as a level 18 and I know I won't find a group just because of my level. Mind you I made it there via PUGs and hnechies and I have less than 15 deaths after doing all missions and bonuses. To make matters worse I'm a Mesmer/Ranger so I got another strike against me in the eyes of the elite.

My advice? Best place to hit 20 is before Ascension. Less headache later on.

I hit 20 while pvping at Fort Koga. Which was awesome, because I did the same with my first ever character during the WPE. Should be a tradition :P

if you know how to tank just kill the minos at elona mission. 100exp per kill solo and 16 of them.

My first char hit lvl 20 after the mirror battle, being lvl 17 before it. My second char also hit lvl 20 at the mirror battle, but through the XP reward (lvl 19 before). My third char is gathering dust at lvl 16 at the desert, I can't be bothered to level him up and I don't enjoy the warrior class.

Far too many people seem to overlevel at the start, it's one of the reasons why they tend to struggle past sanctum cay, because the difficulty ramps up and they can't gain any more levels to keep their advantage. As for trying to show off getting to level 20, I wouldn't bother, it's not like it's much of an achievement.
