Cantha

Do you have to finish the prophercies campaign in order for your prophercies character to venture into Cantha ?

Apparently you don't need Factions to visit Cantha, you only need Factions if you want to start as an Assassin or Ritualist in Cantha. Is this true ?

You need Factions in order to access Cantha AFAIK... thats what it said when i entered my Factions key...

You do not need to finish Prophecies to venture to Cantha, from Tyria. However, you must have reached Lion's Arch in Prophecies because this is where you travel from to Cantha.
You also must have linked your Factions access key to your current Prophecies account in order for your Prophecies ascended chars to access Cantha, and vice versa.
Factions = Cantha = Assassin / Ritualist. Without it, you cannot go anywhere, 'cept remain in Tyria with your prophecies chars.

I also want to add that on the GW site and their FAQ regarding Factions (and on aCe's site too ) they also do state that your Prophecies character must have ascended before it can travel to Cantha.
I have however heard reports that this is not true, characters do not have to be ascended.
Oversight on ANet's part? Maybe.
I however cannot confirm this because all my chars are ascended, so just see this as an FYI for now.
