ascension will port you to a new area (after you've done the dragon's lair mission). benefits for myself for this new area:
1) access to the snow area which has mobs with elite skills i wanna capture
2) another set of towns with skill trainers
3) better runes (?)

additionally the post-ascension area has a couple goodies that will help on the pve side while you're there:
1) armor merchant with end-game armor rating
2) another 15 attribute points (on top of the 15 attribute points that begins with the forgottens quest from pre-ascension) to make pve'ing a little easier [i think the quest is in the snow area...haven't done the research yet]

what snow area do you mean?

woad · May 11, 2005, 04:44 AM // 04:44

its an area that begins at droknar's forge:

the 3 ascension missions that are pre-reqs for ascension are at the bottom right hand side of the map: dunes of despair, elona reach, and thirsty river.

Is it possible to get to the new snow area before doing ascension by going through lornar's pass and those other zones?

Umm, which merchant, in post ascention has this armour? I dont think anyone has the end game armour ( stat wise) in post ascention. I thought the only place is droknars.

I believe Droknar's Forge is designed to be for post ascension, so I don't really understand your question...

Rizzen Khalazar · May 11, 2005, 08:10 PM // 20:10

Oh, LOL, i thought you meant pre ascention..hah, sorry

Wasn't me, I was just trying to understand the thread and its replies.

Yes, it is, but very unlikely. You'd need a full group of 20s with some VERY good skills, equip, and teammwork to pull it off. In fact, its easier to ascend than to run through Lomar's Pass.
