hit level 20 in a couple hours : GW Submissions

1. Get out presearing by getting a secondary profession and then letting Rurik and the henchies clear out the Grawl in the caves.
2. Get a group of friends or guild mates with level 20 characters, preferably with run buffs.
3. Group runs you from Ascalon City to Sanctum Cay. (Ascalon -> Yaks bend -> bergen hot springs -> temple of the ages -> fishermans haven -> sanctum cay)
4. Group does Sanctum Cay mission. Even if you die if the party wins you get credit, so either die early and don't get rezzed or just stay by the entrance.
5. Group does the three desrt missions, Elona's Reach, Thirsty River, and Dunes of Despair.
6. Group runs to Augury Rock.
7. You will be about level 3 by this time, talk to the sage and get him to open the mission.

Once you enter the mountain, skip the cinematic, if you want to see it you can watch it and then try, but the extra time from skipping helps so if you don't beat him the first time try that. Then turn 180 degrees toward the opening. Move in that direction until you can go up on one of the ramps along the wall. I, normally use the left one but either should work fine. Cast Empathy or Price of Failure etc on the mirror and then move up the ramp to give your self a little distance. Don't move too far or he will try and follow, you want him below you at all times. Once he starts attacking (he will use a bow no matter what you use or have skills in) watch him draw back the bow and wait about 1/2 a second and then move sideways. This will cause you to dodge the arrow while he takes damage from Empathy or Price of Failure. If you have a blind skill it also works well with PoF or Empathy and you don't have to dodge but don't bring any condition removal. Once you do it a few times you will get the timing of dodging his arrows and it gets to be pretty easy.

I did it like this though:

1) Remove all spells from toolbar.
2) Put backfire into a slot.
3) Fill the rest of your slots with spells that give energy back or non damaging spells.
4) Cast backfire.
5) Wait for him to slowly die.

this is so obvious, and old

Also ascension has changed you get a maximum of 50,000xp for doing it (with a bonus if within a time limit). If you are level 3 at the time the maximum level you could get would be around 13.

You used to be able to jump to level 20 straight away but not any more.

Plus to pay for all the runs will need a fair bit of money which would suggest someone who has played before and would know this route.
