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.

Elonian characters also become ascended when they complete the quest 'Hunted!'.

Requirements

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

Benefits

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

Note 3: There is no official Ascension in Elona, instead the gameplay benefits are gained through a normal quest and the effects of ascension are not related to the storyline at all.

Note 4: Any character can attain ascension in Tyria or Cantha regardless where the character was created, but only Elonian-borne characters can attain ascension via the quest 'Hunted!'.
