Guild Wars 2

Hi,

I’m new to this game and I was wondering if anyone knows if there is an online guide for what level requirements are for which dungeons and how the fractals work.

I have a level 40 guardian and I see posts on the LFG website for fractals at my level but when i get invited I get kicked cuz i don’t know wtf is going on. I see things like “Self Invite” or AR or for dungeons path 1, path 2, etc….and it’s really confusing.

I was hoping someone could help me find a guide that explains all this because it’s starting to get frustrating not being able to join anything.

Well Fractals are a level 80 dungeon and at higher levels of it (10+) the bosses have skills that apply agony, which does huge damage unless you have Agony Resistance (or AR) gear which is all req. lvl 80 to use.

For when you do get to 80, Dulfy has a good overview guide available, or you can check in this section of the forums for more specific info.

You can also check the wiki for different dungeon lvl requirements.

On the LFG website the “level” line for fractals actually refers to the level of the dungeon, not your character level. FoTM actually goes up to level 50 currently, so you are trying to join a high level run by accident. For high level runs you need specific gear and infusions(see the response above about AR).

You can run pre 10 at any level as FoTM will up level you, but you are still limited in the amount of skills you have unlocked and your stats are lower than a “true 80” due to the armor, traits and skills you have available . I took a couple of my guild members that were only level 10 on a run last week and they did great, so that goes to prove it is more about the skill of the player than the level, but most PUG’s will kick you if you are less than 80.

I recommend you join a dungeon guild that is willing to teach you.

Thanks for the feedback. Are there any dungeon guides online that could help me find when I meet the lvl requirements to enter a particular dungeon?

These are the base level requirements, alot of PUG’s wont accept you at thet level though. Make sure if you are posting on GW2LFG that you mention you are new to the dungeon. You may get less invites and it will take longer to get a group but you eliminate the chance of being kicked in the middle of the dungeon.

Yes and for your lvl I would recommend Ascalon Catacombs dungeon because it has decent rewards and great xp reward for completing it, however as Dragon said a lot of people only look for 80s which is a result partly of Anet increasing the difficulty of the dungeon and people’s intolerance for lowbies, which is unfortunate.

However! It is absolutely not impossible to find groups that will take you, and honestly a skilled lvl 40 can do better than a unskilled lvl 80. I think someone said you should try to find a guild who can help you learn and actually someone just posted on here that their guild is going to be doing dungeon runs with the purpose of teaching newer people the runs and helping them learn, so maybe you can check that out.
