PFS1 to PFS2

[The Grandfather]

If I have a level 1 character in PFS1 can I legally convert it to a PFS2 level 1 character?
Are there any other ways to use PFS1 credits to get a level increase in PFS2?
Must all PFS2 characters start at level 1?

No
No
Yes.

It's a level one character already, so there's no reason you couldn't just build them again in the other system. Nothing transfers, though.

And for question 3, you can earn XP by GMing, by playing pregens, or by playing APs or other published adventures, so it is possible for a character to level up before you've actually played them.

I just rolled my 1E cleric as a new 2E cleric. Sure, there's no transfer and they are different characters mechanically, but it's still the same character in story.

Can a PFS2 character receive credit for modules or APs published for PF1?

The point is getting ahead levelwise.

I stopped playing PFS games after 2019, but will be hitting UKGE this year, and would like to play a couple of games, and there are a couple of lvl 3 games I am interested in, but will not qualify for if I don’t find a few extra credits.

And before you suggest it again: no, I am not interested in playing a pregen :)

No.

Thanks for the answers ;)

Playing online might work out for you if you want to have the chance to play those level 3 games at UKGE.

Good suggestion. I am not at all into online games though :)

I have been searching for Guide to 2e PFS, but can only find a jumble of links and a very long scrollable page.
Is there no printable Pathfinder Guide?
And am I correct, that PF2 books are obsolete and I can only use the remaster books?

If anyone can link to a good guide on how I make an PFS2 character, a PFS2 character sheet, and any other required material, I would really appreciate it.

There was an option to print the webpage as a PDF, but that may be broken. There is not a separate downloadable guide.

The current guidance is that you may use the previous PF2 content as long as it has not been updated in the remaster. More specific guidance can be found here.

The "remaster books" are just new versions of the core rules, and they're not even all out yet.
Though that does include errata to some core classes (and Witch, which wasn't originally core).
