Ascension

.

Description
Ascension means achieving legendary heroic status by earning the blessings of the Gods of Tyria.

In Cantha, it is known as becoming Weh no Su, or Closer to the Stars.

In each of the campaigns the players need to attain Ascension in order to "see" and resist powerful enemies.

Requirements

 * See Prophecies Ascension guide for attaining Ascension in the Prophecies Campaign.
 * See Closer to the Stars for attaining Ascension in the Factions Campaign.

Benefits

 * You can access the Realms of the Gods.
 * You can change your secondary profession, which also unlocks The Hero's Challenge, allowing you to get your final attribute points.

Note 1: Prophecies characters do not need to ascend to travel to Cantha, as long as the account has access to the Factions Campaign contents and Lion's Arch. There was some confusion as before release the only info was Gaile Gray saying Ascended characters will be able to travel (which leaves unascended characters unspecified).

Note 2: Ascended Armor does not require a character to ascend in order to craft or be worn.
