Sunspear Scouts

Vast populations of enemies, both human and non-human, roam the landscape of Elona. Sunspears have many duties, and one of them is culling the herds of monsters surrounding towns and outposts. Any Sunspear who wants to advance in rank should help out by collecting bounties on dangerous enemies.

When you start the game in Istan, look for Sunspear scouts standing near resurrection shrines. Each scout warns you about a specific type of enemy in the surrounding area, offering a bounty for each of these enemies you kill. After you receive a bounty, you'll see an icon in the upper left-hand corner of your screen. As long as you remain in that explorable area, you'll receive double XP for killing that type of monster, along with one promotion point for each one you kill.

Those promotion points will be critical later in the game, since some primary quests require you to attain a specific rank before you can begin them. For instance, you must be a Sunspear Captain before you can rally the troops in "The Time Is Nigh," and that rank requires over 500 promotion points. When you're ready to leave the Sunspear Sanctuary in "A Hero Shall Lead Them," you'll need to be a Sunspear General with over 2,500 promotion points. The sooner you start earning those points, the easier you'll find it to advance in the game later. http://www.guildwars.com/gameplay/gwnfeatures/titletracks.php
