what's a good level for going post-searing?
(absent)
hey all, i recently started playing guild wars again and made a new roleplaying char. He's a lvl 8 w/r right now and i was wondering when was a good time to go post. I remember my first character went post around level 4 or 5 and it was a big mistake. Any opinions will be appreciated.

IMO it depends on how interesting you find pre-sear. I would think since you found 4-5 to be a mistake then level 8-10 would be fine. I usually stay until level 10 or 11, by which point I have run out of quests and gotten bored with dye and charr farming. But really it's an individual thing I think.

I ususally leave around 6-7, i find that around that level its easy to level up and take on the monsters around old ascalon without too much difficulty.

I think level 8 is a good level for a warrior to leave PS. That's usually the level I leave at unless I want to hunt some char for fun.
Really if you simply do all the quests you can do, you end up at a good level to leave, which is around 7-9

For me, I usually leave as soon as possible. That means about level 2 or 3. As long as you do some quests before you go into the first mission in post-sear, then any level is fine.

I don't think you should ever leave pre-sear. It's so nice and secluded and beautiful there...

Level 7-8 is normal for me, which is about when you finish up all the quests.

Most people leave around 7-10 unless they are charr farming, or going to get ran in post. I recommned staying until you can appreciate how great pre is.

For first characters I always recommend level 7 or 8. After that it is really an individual choice. Most people seem to do the skill quests and leave at level 5 or so. You found 5 or 6 too low before, but as this is your second character you may find that level 8 makes the ascalon area too easy. You may need to quickly head to pikens or eastern frontier for challenging quests.

clocked the game a few times already, i find presearing boring so i would get my second profession and leave but the first time i played gw, i left pre searing at around lv9

I love presearing. Well...I did until I played through it over 15 times :/. Anyway if you like the place, stay around, do all the quests. After you've done all the quests you can find, you can go up north and kill charr for a while, or just sear. Whenever I play a character through in presearing, all I do is go through and do every quest. By the time I'm done with all the quests I'm lvl 7-8. 7-8 seems like a good time to sear. Prolly not worth staying around much longer than 7-8 though.

thanks for all the suggestions guys, i think i'll leave before i get to lvl 9. I've done all the quests and the only thing i'm looking for right now is the collector for boots.
Mournblade
There will be better armor in Ascalon City the moment you go post-sear.

I usually go for level 7
the boot collector is at the exit of the catecombs to green hills country, follow the gargoyle path
you need 5 gargoyle skulls

Level 2. Hench are level 3, and 98% of the monsters are under level 5.

If it's the first time you play, you stay in Pre-Searing till it gets boring, then you go over. Normally that'll be around level 6-8.
Zakarr
Level 6+
Also do all primary and secondary profession skill quests before leaving.

It really depends on how easy or hard you want the game to be once you get there. Obviously the higher your level the easier it will be to play.
