ahh yea chooseing a good name for your permanate pre-character is always important :P

I was going to ask, why not tame a lvl 19/ even 20 stirder instead of a 16/17 but then again it would probably take a whole day un;ess you leveld up a few more levels

Kinda off topic right here, but how much do you think two 5 slot bags are worth in pre now? Thinking of selling but some people say not to

I'd think quite a bit more. They can't be bought at the merchant, right?

There is a little trick to get the patrols to follow you always but id rather not say it just quite yet.

About making ALL the charr get exp when you level them,

a very kind anonymous friend told me, when you pull the charr, allow them to kill you once before you commence death leveling. let eachpatrol you pull you, then dlvl them. this way the exp is evened out.

Well, today an other progress update.

I am now almost to lvl 14 ( 60% 13 ), and its getting pretty long. Charrs now give me only 16xp :/. Still, only 4 runs to go ! After that, the real test of my patience will begin !

Here's my mesmer in all her glory ! You'll probably recognize me in town because how badly I'm dyed !




Well, if anybody have a white dye for sale, I think I could afford one.

Just to throw you something. The other day, someone wanted 80k for their vamp weapon. Bags may just be as valuable as a vamp, but that is just my opinion.

Well, considering I sold my last two bags in pre for 450k each...

Maybe that's something you can go from?....but mind they were 10 slot bags, not 5...


meh...

meh...
10 slot ones arent for sale..im talking about my 2 5 slot bags, i could probablt cut that price in half and call it 225k..ill think about it..

brokenmonkey- it might be awhile since I still need pictures for it, and to fix any corrections since i just tried it and the charr were being gay..I got the to where the first oakhearts were then they would turn around, so i really need a good lock on aggro and i had to repull several times, my only issuse was dying..(and i forgot blood renewal)so that was probably my problem.


Yeh and from my first time lvl charr i got err 59 bcuz i fell asleep. lost 3 lvl 17ss and 2 lvl 15s so and im still veru pissed off . i was away for 4 hours and my account was on the like "you have been playing for 7-10 hours" mark, no where near a day and it still kicked me off so after accidently cussing out the alliance chat i calmed down and just went back to lvling a moss spider (after attemping to lvl the charr again)

Holy Warblade is the man! Damn hes good.

One little trick that garuntees a good pull for me at least [requires a longbow]:

You know how when you pull the char for a while? They will lose aggro then run away? Well, when they first break aggro with you, they will start running away. Do NOT follow them yet. Now, after a few seconds of RUNNING away, they will start to walk. This is your signal that you can pull them again. when they start to walk rather than run, go up to the closest one and use your longbow to attack. The second you shoot an arrow, run away to where you wish to pull them. repeat this and they shouldnt get stuck or take as much damage. Using this method, i solo pulled 13 charr last night.

Once I get to level 10 today, I'll owrk on Dlvling the charr. I should start off with a small group, right?

Also, whats a good secondary for ranger (to kill off charr faster)?

mesmer i guess, for conjure and backfire.
If you are going to start dlvling now you could only put them up to lvl 13 or 4 before it would be really hard to kill them.

I understand what you are saying, but my question is how can you pull so many? I can pull one mob, but after you have them wouldn't they follow you and kill you while you are pulling? Am I missing something?

Tnx alot for the longbow trick!!!!
It just rulezz to lure charr that way!

About luring more mobs... in my case (first attempt at with longbow) the charr casters were going for the npc monk at the gate. I could just run past them without them aggroing me again. That way i could get a 2nd group and the casters were still waiting for me at the shrine

1 caster got killed though and i killed the shaman since i rlly do not wanna kill a high lvl shaman with my necro.

Are there any suggestions on how to kill them after they have lvled?

Yeah, kill the shamsn before you go afk. Then, to kill the others, you get 5 seconds of invincibility when you rez as well as full energy. just spam whatever you can on him. res, and repeat. works good for me

good luck dlvling at lvl 10 lol

as for the bags, there was a bug a while back where players in pre could go to their GH and then trade with other POST players and stuff. this bug, sadly, no longer works.

well one thing i did to pull so many was that I pull little at a time, and as your running back to the portal you know how you can go to the right and start running to the other group? heres a picture to help tell you where it is:



Well if you run that way just a bit, you can get the charr "stuck" behind that hill(where the red dot is),the yellow dot is where you pull then from once there stuck, let them kill you and you spawn back at the rez portal, so just run back and pull more charr back to that area, and if u want more, get them stuck as well and repeat. Simple as that.

Awesome. There is always a way around to a solution when you have a group of people reaching for the same purpose.

Now that pulling charrs is back again, I might as well play some more until the next drought.

Here's my question, I have a level 14, 22% to go. Should I primarily use the death leveling technique or should I still continue to run and kill the bosses? I ask that because killing the bosses have become considerably harder and with much less XP than what you would get with high level charrs with DL.

Thanks.

When I pull a group, I don't wait for them to walk away. There is one "leader" caster that will always be ahead of the group (located well inside your aggro circle) and you will notice it takes steps forward close to you, always keeping the same distance, and when you run, it will try to catch up with you, keeping that same distance inside your aggro and the rest will follow even though they are outside the agroo circle. Although you have to maintain heals here as you do this with a longbow.

I have a question for those who delevel.

After 10 or so hours of inactivity, you get error59. So, if, for example, I use every hour or so Frenzy or I sacrifice health for two minutes, will I still get an error for inactivity ?


lvl 14 (2%) 37 to go for lvl 15 :S

Exactly! Thats why I think it was selfish and just outright stupid when earlier everyone was like "i figured it out and im not tellin u!111 figure it out for urself lolx!11". Now that people are sharing their ideas, everyone knows how to pull more char, more efficiently....

the err59 is really wierd. One time I was afk for about 8 hours (game had been running like 8 hours 30 mins at most.). Came back, moved around a bit, pmed ppl, changed guild announcement, etc. Went afk for just 20 minutes and I come back to a wonderful err59. Another time though, I left it on for over 12+ hours, never touched it, no error.

Anyways from my experience, your best bet is always restart comp + gw before DLeveling and then don't leave it dleveling for more than 8 hours (regardless of if your afk or not). Seems a bit strict but by following these rules I have never got err59. If you're going to be going out for more than 8 hours or something, its not the end of the world you can still try to dlevel but just be aware you may risk getting err59.

Thats exactly what I do, when I get done deathlvling I close out guild wars for about 2 mins then start it back up and everything is fine On the other hand...

I finished my guide to deathlvling the charr, Should i post it on here or have it on a separate place? Its on my alliance site but i dont wanna give that out to everyone. (my alliance site)

ok so i made myself a mes (lvl 9) so far and i have gone into the northlands to farm some charrs. Now i read amish's little pull trick so I
decided to try that. When i hit the first char with my bow
it seemed like it work. # out of the 4 chars start to run back but then
they always regroup so i thought ok...maybe i did it wrong. so when
they start to walk away id do it again. and the same thing would happen.
I pulled a group oif chars near the bosses all the way back to the portals. Am i doing it wrong? any help or pointers on how to fix it would be greatly appreciated

from what you said here it doesnt seem like you did anything wrong. sounds like you pulled them correctly back to the portals, and as long as they killed off the 4 guards and the academy monk and stayed there to deathlvl them for fine. The charr are always going to run away when you try to pull them, nothing different there, just as you said, when they start to walk just repull them and head back to the rez shrine.

hmm i was going for the stupid LDoA title then at lvl 14 i somehow get sidetracked and start aiming for the drunkard title in pre.. i think it is because i know in the back of my head the LDoA title is impossible for me cause im not hardcore enough and i know drunkard is easier. i mean im have 405 ales after 2 days lol too bad i cant level AND farm ales at the same time ...
