After creating your avatar, he or she will pop out in Ascalon. After grabbing that
first quest, it’ll direct you to the zone wall into Lakeside County; you may want to try to
locate someone in town that’s willing to group for you for the resurrection signet quest,
since it requires you have a party member with you. Once you zone into Lakeside, Lina is
to the left (the Resurrection Signet quest giver) and almost directly in front of you should
be someone with a quest for you. Follow these quest and eventually it will lead to a few in
the Wizard’s Folly and Foble’s Fair area. These quests will give you the basic spells of an
elementalist and help you gain a basic understanding of how the class functions in
general.
I suggest specializing in the Fire Magic line at this point since it will allow you to
gain the full potential of your newfound spells. You may also wish to simply rove around
igniting any helpless foe that is unfortunate enough to cross your path. Roaming around
and doing such is a great way to learn when to cast certain spells and just how little
tanking you need to be doing.
I will also mention the availability of a second profession here. Certain trainers are
scattered throughout the areas that are willing to train you in a second class of your
choice. Armin Saberlin on the East side of town will give you a quest for a second
profession and will point you in the direction of the trainer that teaches that profession. I
suggest Monk as a secondary if you’re relatively new to the Guild Wars experience or
simply caster classes in general. The Monk is a great, well-rounded secondary for both
solo-minded players as well as group-minded ones. And in the event you choose any
secondary class and find you dislike it, you can change it later in the game.
Once you’ve finished messing around here and gained a few levels (I suggest
being level 5 or so), you can talk to Sir Tydus and enter into a storyline mission. This will
take you to a PvP arena. Don’t worry too much about winning or losing at this point, just
have fun and use it as a little learning experience as to what you can somewhat expect on
a larger scale later. Once the match is over, win or lose, you will be in another mission.
After the NPCs finish talking you can start killing things. After finishing up this mission,
you’ll get a cut-scene and then pop up in Post-Searing Ascalon.

Unlike the majority of MMORPGs, the character creation process has no bearing
on the functionality of your class. What’s the difference between the four-foot tall, bluehaired
man and the seven-foot tall, red-haired woman? None. So just have fun and find
the look that suits you best without any worries as to how it will affect you.

Below is a complete listing of No Attribute spells including Elites. These spells are
unmodified by any specializations – meaning they have no range and the numbers are a
constant – primarily composed of Glyphs.

1. General Information
The purpose of this guide is to give insight and understanding into the innerworkings
of the elementalist; both in PvP and in PvE environments. Bear in mind that no
matter how much information is provided, it is the player behind the avatar that counts.
1.1. Introduction
No two elementalists are the same, even when spec’d identically – each player has
a unique play style and experience level. With a plethora of skills at his or her disposal, a
wide variation of conjurers exists. The differences in the four possible specializations will
be discussed in detail later in this guide.
