These are technically primary trainers, but I call them sample trainers.  The
reason is because you get to sample the skills of that class without agreeing
to take any.  I suggest you do them all, it gives 1500xp total as well
as a nice opportunity to see what class may be able to aid you as a secondary.
If you elect to make a class your secondary, you will earn the sampler skills
you tested permanently.  Also, if you sample your main profession, any skill
you learn from it, you keep.

Grawl Invasion [Warrior Sampler] [psst1]
—-
Quest Starter: Warmaster Grast
Objective: Kill Grawl Invaders nearby.
Reward: 250xp, sampling of Gash, Sever Artery and Healing signet.
Starter Sword
Reward Giver: Warmaster Grast
Difficulty and Comments: The hardest of these types of quests, which does not
say much.  Take them one at a time and you will have no problems, even if you
do not use the warrior skills.  These skills are based on adrenaline and
require a sword to perform.

—-
A Mesmer’s Burden [psst2]
—-
Quest Starter: Lady Althea
Objective: Kill the Rogue Bull
Reward: 250xp, sampling of Conjure Phantasm, Imagined Burden and Ether
Feast
Reward Giver: Lady Althea
Difficulty and Comments: Use Conjure Phantasm.  It is about the only skill
which as effective at all.  If you are a necro, life siphon works, sever artery
also works.  You need to do this to activate the Rogue’s replacement.

—-
The Ranger’s Companion [psst3]
—-
Quest Starter: Master Ranger Nente
Objective: Charm a Melandru’s Stalker
Reward: 250xp, sampling of Charm Animal, Comfort Animal and Troll
Unguent
Reward Giver: Master Ranger Nente
Difficulty and Comments: nothing on the way to the Melandru stalker will attack
you.  When you start charming, the process takes ten seconds or so, in which
time the stalker will attack you.  Other than that, this is easy.

—-
Elementalist Experiment [psst4]
—-
Quest Starter: Elementalist Aziure
Objective: Kill 12 Ice Elemental Shards which come in waves of 4.
Reward: 250xp, Firestorm, Glyph of Lesser Energy and Aura of
Restoration
Reward Giver: Elementalist Aziure
Difficulty and Comments: Firestorm will cream them.  Try to wait so you can
pound two waves at a time with it.  If your primary class is Elementalist, you
can do this at the same time as Supremacy of air.

—-
A Monk’s Mission [psst5]
—-
Quest Starter: Brother Mhenlo
Objective: Keep the Abbot Paulus alive
Reward: 250xp, sampling of Bane Signet and Orison of Healing
Reward Giver: Brother Mhenlo
Difficulty and Comments: Do this while you do the Rites of remembrance.
Paulus will have to run across poison [so will you].  He likely will not die on
the way there.  When you get out of the poison, heal him and heal yourself.
You will now have to run back.  Paulus is carrying something now and runs
slower, thus, you need to heal him this time.  Walk slowly with him back to the
entrance to Ashford Abbey.  When the quest updates, talk to Mhenlo.

—-
The Necromancer’s Novice [psst6]
—-
Quest Starter: Necromancer Munne
Objective: Kill the Nightmare
Reward: 250xp, sampling of Life Siphon, Deathly Swarm, and Animate
Bone
Horror
Reward Giver: Necromancer Munne
Difficulty and Comments: Follow Munne to the hallway in a large room.  You will
see a carrion devourer run across a flame geyser and be blown up.  This is a
hint [Well, actually, the hint is in the mission summary now].  Try to avoid
killing anything.  Just before [but not too close!] the next geyser, summon a
bone horror.  The body across the geyser will cause it to explode when
animated.  Do the same thing for the next and final one.  To kill the
nightmare, the fastest way is to cast deathly swarm, which will probably do in
excess of 60 damage.  Once you complete this, you are in the area of the Prize
Moa Bird, so do that one too.

3. Primary & Secondary Profession Trainer Quests

These are skill trainers who can only teach you skills from your primary and
secondary classes.  There is no sampling these.

Objective: Kill the Tower Golem
Reward: 250xp, Permanent use of Blinding Flash, Lightning Javelin

Quest Starter: Brother Mhenlo
Objective: Kill the undead invading the farms north of Ashford Abbey.
Reward: 250xp, permanent use of Retribution, Symbol of Wrath
Reward Giver: Brother Mhenlo
Difficulty and Comments: If you can get in close, smash the undead with Symbol

monk]

—-
Protection Prayers [psps4]
—-
Quest Starter: Garzden the Protector
Objective: Protect Farrah while she hunts down the bandit Alain.
Reward: 250xp, permanent use of Shielding Hands and Reversal of
Fortune
Reward Giver: Garzden the Protector
Difficulty and Comments: Somewhat tough if you fail to heal her frequently [or
use protection prayers].  She will be able to kill most of it in a hurry, so do
not feel the need to speed up the process of killing.

Necromancer
——-

—-
The Accursed Path [psps5]
—-
Quest Starter: Oberan the Reviled [Catacombs]
Objective: Kill 5 Crypt Fiends
Reward: 500xp, permanent use of Soul Barbs and Faintheartedness
Reward Giver: Oberan the Reviled
Difficulty and Comments: hardest part is getting to Oberan deep in the
catacombs.

—-
Power of Blood [psps6]
—-
Quest Starter: Kasha Blackblood [Green Hills County]
Objective: Kill 3 Blood Fanatics
Reward: 250xp, permanent use of Vampiric Touch and Blood Renewal
Reward Giver: Kasha Blackblood
Difficulty and Comments: Easy quest.  They will run from you until they have a
great strength in numbers.  If you are a Mesmer as a second or first class, try
to slow them down as they run so you can pick them off one at a time.  You only
need to kill three of the five.

Ranger
——-

—-
Test of Marksmanship [psps7]
—-
Quest Starter: Ivor Trueshot [Regent Valley]
Objective: Kill the five nearby plague worms
Reward: 250xp, permanent use of point blank shot and Read the Wind
Reward Giver: Ivor Trueshot
Difficulty and Comments: Somewhat hard if you are still level one.  If you are
level two, this is easy.  Just gun them down with special shots.  Helps to have
a pet to do the few extra damage.

—-
Unnatural Growth [psps8]
—-
Quest Starter: Aidan [Wizard’s Folly Fishing Village]
Objective: Get an Aloe Root from a large aloe seed.
Reward: 250xp, permanent use of Ignite Arrows and Dual Shot.
Reward Giver: Aidan
Difficulty and Comments: This one is actually quite hard.  First, it is way out
of the way as you will be able to see on your map.  Second, these things just
swarm at you.  Chances are, you will only need to kill one.  Ignite arrows
works wonders if you can cluster them, so does any other area of effect spell
your other class may have.

Warrior
——-

—-
Warrior’s Challenge [psps9]
—-
Quest Starter: Duke Barradin [Barradin Estate]
Objective: Kill Agnar the Foot
Reward: 250xp, permanent use of Hammer Bash and Frenzy
Reward Giver: Duke Barradin
Difficulty and Comments: The trick is to knock him down with a hammer blow just
before he uses a healing spell.  It might be easier to have a Mesmer in the
party to just empathy and conjure phantasm him.

—-
The Vineyard Problem [psps10]
—-
Quest Starter: Little Thom [Barradin Estate]
Objective: Kill the 4 Large Aloe Seeds
Reward: 250xp, permanent use of Cyclone axe and Executioners strike
Reward Giver: Little Thom
Difficulty and Comments: Get in-between them and use cyclone axe, which will
kill all of the little ones and build up your adrenaline.  Smash the first Big
seed with executioners strike.  Should be easy enough to hack ‘n’ slash from
here.
