Questions and Answers
|
I thought it would be a good idea to dedicate one of my posts to questions you may have about the game or anything else! To start with, I will answer questions I have been asked earlier and may seem a bit random. The most recent have been added to the top of the list in ascending order.
To ask a question, just leave a comment and I will update the post with my answer to it.
I hope you will find the Q&A useful.
8. Can you join 2 guilds?
As far as I know, you can be part of only one guild per account. To join different guilds, you have to create several accounts.
7. How long does it take to reach level 20?
Depending on the chosen character and your skills as a player, it will take about 50 hours to reach the level cap.
6. What are the Best Profession Combos?
Depending on your way of playing, you want to optimize your character’s skills by selecting the best secondary profession.
Here are the different professions you can choose amongst: Warrior (W), Monk (Mo), Necromancer (N), Elementalist (E), Ranger (R) and Mesmer (Me).
 Warrior
- W/Mo: The most common combo. The Warrior can deal lots of damage and still heal himself. It’s a good choice to solo.
- W/R: You can use the Marksmanship attribute and/or have a pet to help you.
 Monk
- Mo/W: Very common combo, as you can heal and use the Tactics attributes to protect yourself and your team.
- Mo/R: In that case, you would use the Wilderness Survival attribute.
- Mo/Me: It can be a good combo too.
 Necromancer
As I am not very familiar with necros, here are the most common combos I’ve seen so far:
- N/Mo or N/Me
- N/R
 Elementalist
- E/Mo: As a secondary Monk, you will be able to focus on healing and maybe protecting if you have point attributes left.
- E/Me: As a secondary Mesmer, you can use the Illusion Magic and Inspiration attributes.
- E/N: By using the Blood Magic attribute, you can explore corpses for regenerating your health.
It seems that you can also combine successfully an Elementalist with the Ranger profession.
As I don’t have any Mesmer nor Ranger characters, I asked some of my friends, and here are their best combo selections:
 Ranger
- R/Mo
- R/W
- R/E
 Mesmer
-Me/Mo
-Me/E

5. How to level up quickly?
This is a question that I’ve been asked frequently.
You have several ways to do so:
- You can pay someone to run you through the missions and quests (can be expensive if you’ve just started to play),
- You can ‘be run’ (again you have to pay) to the different towns and arrive to Droknar’s Forge (one of the advanced towns) at low level and find a “power-leveler”. The latter is a player whose character level is 20. He will “farm” with you, i.e. you will go outside of the towns with him and he will kill enemies and thereby you will get experience (XP) points without doing a thing,
- You can also play the game!
Needless to say that I totally disapprove the two first solutions.
I don’t understand people who resort to those tricks. If you proceed like this, you will miss lots of things in the game, like quests that give points and free skills, the pleasure of discovering the game environment. You won’t know your available skills until you discover for yourself the best way to use and/or combine them.

4. What is the best profession?
In my opinion, there is no such thing.
You choose the profession that suits your game style the best.
The Warrior/Monk combo is definitely the most frequent one. There are lots of them, and at higher levels, you can even have problems to find a team due to their overabundance.
The one considered as "indispensable" is the Monk. You can find a team very easily.
I don't know why, but it seems that the less popular profession is the Mesmer. I like having them in the team, because they are at least as useful as the other ones.

3. Can I reach the level cap (level 20) in pre-searing?
No, you cannot. If you stay in pre-searing until you reach level 8, you will gain no further experience points (XP) by killing enemies or completing quests.

2. What are “pre-searing” and “post-searing?”
“Pre-searing” corresponds to the tutorial part of the game. You can leave that part once you have reached level 3 at the minimum. You must then choose your second profession. After your return to Ascalon and mandatory talk with Tydus, you will leave this part of the game for good and never return to it. This is called “post-searing.” However, it is recommended your character reaches level 6 before moving on. This can be done in about 2 hours.
People in pre-searing and post-searing cannot play together. If it's not your first character, you cannot have access to your storage space while being in pre-searing (it would be too easy!).

1. What is the level cap?
The level cap is 20, which seems to be low compared with other games.
