expert teachs you skills, its in your best interest to talk to both NPCs from your chosen profession. As this guide is updated all professions will be listed along with the skills received.
17a) Dervish If you decided to be a Dervish, you are lucky because I did too, so this section is updated first. Run around until you find Lisha and Nagozi. Talk to both of them to learn 5 skills. Lisha teachs you Chilling Victory and Cripping Sweep. Nagozi tosses in Whirling Charge, Heart of the Holy Flame, and Grenth's Fingers. Once you have beat up a few target dolls if you want to test the skills return to First Spear Dehvad.
ALL Professions Have a chat with Devhad to pick up 250xp, 50 gold, and 5 Sunspear Promotion Points. Devhad will also teach you 1 more skill from your profession. FOr Dervish this is Imbune Health. Devhad will also now offer you a new quest "Honing your SKills." To have further dealings with Devhad, you must be level 5. By now you should be level 3 or so, but still 2 to go. Talk to Second Spear Binah to enter Kamadan- Jewel or Istan the first town of the game. =============================================================================== 18. Nightfall Mechanics There are a few things that directly impact the gameplay of Nightfall that actually need to be mentioned in this guide. Not so much to tell you how great the game is, but tell you how to use the new features.
18a) Heroes
There are tweleve heroes in the game that will join you through the game. You may have 3 heroes in your party at any given time. Heroes are like Henchman, but the player has vastly more control over them. The player can select the skills a Hero can use, choose their secondary profession, and directly control the Hero in battle if he/she wishes. The Hero can be given weapons/shields by a player or have runes added to their armor. The armor itself auto upgrades as levels are gained, but addtional upgrade options can be purchases in towns. Any skills a player has unlocked on their account in the primary profession of the Hero is avaiable for that Hero to use. So, owning another Guild Wars game gives you a head start with your heroes. Elites can be used by Heroes even at early levels. The first hero granted to you is Koss a warrior. As I play through the game, I will provide a complete list of Heroes and their professions here.
List of Heroes:
Koss- Warrior Dunkoro- Monk Melonni- Devrish
18b) Sunspear Promotion Points Directly related to Heroes are Sunspear Promotion Points. As you gain them, you advanced in ranks and are granted titles. For each rank gained, you earn 1 hero skill point. Some towns have special Hero skill trainers which sell Hero only skills. Each skill costs 1 point. No gold is required to buy a Hero skill. The attibute quests for the 30 attribute points not gained by leveling are also earned by advancing in ranks. There are various ways to earn points, the easiest being completing quests and slaying foes of the proper type (more on this in the next seciton).
The ranks are as follows, number of points required are in ().
Sunspear Sergant- 50 Points Sunspear Master Sergant (100)* Sunspear Second Spear (175) Sunspear First Spear (300)* Sunspear Captain (500) Sunspear Commander (1,000) Sunspear General (2,500) Sunspear Castellan (7,500) Sunspear Spearmarshal (15,000)
*When acheiving this rank you will earn 15 attribute points and 2000xp after speaking to Runduk in Sunspear Great Hall. =============================================================================== 19. Kamadan- Jewel of Istan
Now with Section 18 out of the way, so you understand the basics of Heroes and points, lets return to the game itself. You should be around level 3 at this point and standing in Kamadan the first town. There are quite a few quests here to complete. The order I give the quests is not the only order in which to complete them, that is compeltely up to you. However, the order I list them is the quickest way to get 100 Sunspear Promotion points, 15 attribute points, and reach level 5. First, I will list the quests in the standard format used in this guide, and then explain the order I used. So either way you are set.
=============================================================================== Quest Name: Honing Your Skills Given by: First Spear Dehvad Difficulty: N/A Objective: Reach Level 5 Tips: Read the walkthrough below on how to reach Level 5. Talk to Dehvad once you do.
Reward: 500xp, 50 good 10 Sunspear Promotion Points Quests Given Next: Secondary Training and Command Training
=============================================================================== Quest Name: A Personal Vault Given by: Xunlai Agent Juah Difficulty: If you can complete this quest, quit the game right now Objective: Open a storage account Tips: Talk to Juah to pick up the quest and then talk to the Xunlai agent next to her to access your storage. Since this is the first time, you will be charged 50 gold. No problem, since we gained 200 on the mission. After opening the account (and getting the storage upgrade for another 50 gold too) chat with Juah again to pick up 500xp. Easy eh? =============================================================================== Quest Name: Need More Stuff Given by: Nenah (Collector) Difficulty: Easy Objective: Slay Juenvile Termites until they drop 2 legs. Tips: As the objective suggests, so kill juenvile termites until you get 2 legs. Return to Nenah for your reward.
Reward given by Nenah: 500xp, 50 gold, 5 Sunspear Promotion Points, Belt Pouch, Battle Commendation (can be traded to NPCs for salvage kits, bags, and ID kits) =============================================================================== Quest Name: Armored Transport Given by: Mehino (Armor) Difficulty: Easy Objective: Meet Dengo in Plains of Jarin and escort him to Sunspear Great Hall. Tips: Before activting Dengo, clear the area on the path to the Hall over monsters. Otherwise Dengo stops for every single one which is annoying. This way, he only stops once, where you must dispatch 4 corsair. Easy. Once he gets to Great Hall, you are done. Return to Mehino for your reward.
Reward: 500xp, 20 gold, 5 Sunspear Points (SPP from now on- if you dont mind!), 2 Tanned Hide Squares, 2 Bolts of Cloth =============================================================================== Quest Name: Material Girl Given by: Kahlm Difficulty: Easy Objective: Talk to Pelei in Plains of Jarin and kill 10 Killer Iboga. Tips: If you want to do this quest, do not kill any Iboga because you need them for the quest. Talk to Pelei, (near the door to the east) to active the quest. Kill 10 and talk to Pelei again. Return to Kahlm for your reward. Further enchance your cause by having a chat with the Sunspear Scout by the Rez Point to pick up double XP and 1 SPP for each plant you kill.
Reward from Kahlm: 500xp, 100 gold, 5 SPP, Expert Salvage Kit
=============================================================================== Quest Name: Map Travel Inventor Given by: Mauban in Plains of Jarin Difficulty: Depends on how hard it is to press M on the keyboard Objective: Map travel back to Kamadan and speak with Alekaya. Tips: Pick up this quest from Mauban, who is near the door of the Sunspear Great Hall on the eastern side. Map back to Kamadan and find his mother Alekaya. Talk to her twice to get your reward.
Reward: 250xp, 50 gold =============================================================================== Quest Name: Nehdoka's Hog Hunt Given by: Nehdoka in Plains of Jarin Difficulty: Pretty Easy Objective: Lead Nehdoka to the shore and protect him while he tames a hog. Tips: It is easier to clear out the area around the water west of the Sunspear Great Hall before picking up Nehdoka. Otherwise, he likes to get involved in fights, and manages to get killed rather easily. If you clear the area first, there is no fighting on this quest, just leading him to the shore and back to Yapano.
Reward: 1000xp, 100gp, 10 SPP =============================================================================== Quest Name: Rising in the Ranks Master Sergent Given by: Runduk in Sunspear Great Hall Difficulty: N/A Objective: Gather 100 SPP Tips: Read the walkthrough below for the fastest way of using these quests to get to 100. Once you get 100 return to Runduk for your reward.
Reward: 2000xp, 15 Attribute points =============================================================================== How to get to Level 5 and 15 Attribute Points:
The quests above can be done in any order of course, but the way I did it seemed the easier. I used my Dervish, Koss, a monk hench, and a Paragon, though any combination will most likely do as long as there is 1 healer. From Kamadan, head out into the Plains of Jarin. First all, speak with the Sunspear Scout by the Rez Point and accept his offer. He will give you a special skill that doubles your XP and awards you 1 SPP for every plant monster you kill. Not bad. Your first step is to clear the path from Dengo to the Sunspear Great Hall to the north. Do not talk to Dengo yet, because he will fight everything which is annoying. Avoid killing insects for the moment that you might see, just take out the plants. Once you reach the Sunspear Great Hall, locate the other Rez Point and another Sunspear Scout. This one will give you the same double xp and 1 SPP for insects. Now return to Dengo taking out the insects in the way on this pass. Pick up Dengo and follow him to the Great Hall. You will have to dispatch 4 Corsair on the way, but nothing else. Easy eh? After this, head west and start clearing out everything from the Great Hall to the shore. You will encounter several Juvenile Termites which might drop the 2 legs you need for "Need More Stuff." Once you get to the shore and all the monsters have been cleared, return to The Great Hall and pick up Nehdoka. Lead him back to the western shore, where we will tame a hog. Lead him back to Yapano to complete the Hog Hunt quest. Now go back to the water and start exploring. There will be two packs of termites to clear out which should give you at least the 2 legs you need. You can sell the extras in town to people who don't want to find them for some extra gold. Avoid killing any Scale monsters for the moment. In the swamp (I guess thats close enough) there is a 3rd Rez Point and another Sunspear Scout who gives you double XP and 1SPP per scale. Now with all three active, clear out everything in the Plains of Jarin. This should get you to around 130 SPP, and enough for the first attribute point quest and Level 5. Easy eh? Once you get done killing things walk back to the SUnspeear Great Hall and enter. Have a chat with Rundok to pick up your rank of Master Sergant, 2000xp, and 15 attribute points. Step back outside and find Mauban to the east of the Hall. Pick up his quest, and map travel (M) back to Kamadan and locate Alekaya. Talk to her twice to pick up a quick 250xp and 50 gold. Get your other rewards while you are here as well to reach Level 5. Return to Dehvad and complete Honing your Skills. Now it is time to pick up a secondary profession.
=============================================================================== 20. Secondary Training
So now, you are Level Five and have two new quest from Devhad, Secondary Training and Command Training. Yes, I realize there are more quests you can do in Kamadan, but getting a secondary is important, so let's do this first. Once you talk to Devhad and get the quests proceed to talk to Second Spear Binah to return the Chanbek Village. Talk to Devhad and then go talk to one of the Experts in the Secondary Profession of your choice. Consult Section 3 Professions for information about the various professions. Once you choose one the expert will give you 2 skills. Return to Devhad to receive 500xp, 50 gold, 5 SPP, and Battle Commendation or BC. Pick your secondary to get 500xp more and another 50 gold. He will then give you the quest Leaving a Legacy. More on this one in a moment. Also in the same explorable is an NPC named Tactian Hai. He is almost back at the village on top of a platform. Go find him and talk to him to start Command Training. In this quest your Hero (and hench if you have any) must conquer three areas on the map without your help. Talk to Haj to start the quest. See the numbers under the compass? Click the 1 and then find the pilar labeled "Area One" on the map and click it. A flag will appear on the map, and Koss will travel there. When "Area One" in the upper left of your screen turns Blue, move on to Area 2. Koss will have to take out 2 simple monsters here, no problem. If you want to control Koss, click the 1 next to his name in the Party Window (P). This will bring up the skills Koss has equipped. Click on a skill to use it. Once Koss dispatches the 2 monsters, and the Area Two turns Blue, repeat for area 3. After all 3 are blue, return Koss to Area 1 to compelte the quest. Talk to Devhad back at the start to pick up 250xp and 125 gold.
Before going any further, I would recommend going ahead and killing monsters in the Plains of Jarin to get 300 SPP and the rank of First Spear. You will also reach Level 6 in the process. Also if you want, compelte all the optional quests in Kamadan. I will detail those in a future update. One easy quest that will help you is detailed below.
