So, not that I figure I'm anywhere close to ascension, but is there anything I should work on here in my 20's to prepare?

I've heard varying opinions on when a hatchling is ready for ascension: 35-ish, 50+, as soon as they can craft the materials, when they can solo it...

Anyone have an opinion on this? I figure I'm in this for the long haul so if I have to get to 80-something as a hatchling I'm up for it, but I want to ensure I'm not taking any shortcuts and actually earn it by community standards.

So, I guess I need to know what that standard is, or if there is in fact a standard.

Thanks for your time...
