If you zone everything resets. I.E Farming. Once you kill them all you zone and come back and repeat. If the moa was always lvl 20 after you Dlvl it once then getting the title could be done in 200hours less.

Tetris L you forgot the group of players stay in Ascalon pre AM dist 1 who just dance all night, Dolls cough Dolls (self advertising)

I have also noticed in the last year a huge group of players who have made pre home for the ale farming and drunkard title.

Good to see that the OP guide is getting more players back into pre.

If any players need help I have a monk in pre who can help you kill charr over the wall, or I can open the gate and map out so that you can solo.

lol o.O

was talking to that guy because he was offering salvaged runes in pre
so I asked him how he can salvage them, he said he won't say how.
I asked how much he wants for one then-->200k post searing gold
I lol'd and asked him to show me the runes first -->I won't
I accused him to be a scammer and then he said what's shown on the screenshot

He was probably legitimate, some players in pre still have superior salvage kits in pre from the old guild hall bug, when you can finds a player with one they charge from 30k to 80k per 1 use.

So how much does a vamp in pre go for?

(I'm level 13 atm, so I'll be DLing not to far from now and a vamp would speed it up...)

This guy's a tard first off not all of us are going for a title, I'm going for 20, I'm sure there are many who are going for the title though. Second having black doesn't make you leet, but many a time have I gotten the pm "omg why did you waste black dye on pre armor?!?!"

Ah yes in February there was a way to get to your guild hall from pre. It involved going into observe mode, then exiting would put you in your guild hall. I myself never did this and wouldn't have, though I know a few people who did. It was later labeled an exploit when it was patched on the updates page. The reason he's not gonna show you the runes is because I know a person who had runes showed someone who took a screen and got him banned for a week. Trust me runes in pre exist, one person showed me the Victo's set in pre a long time ago, and yes they will demand high amounts of pre sear gold to access things such as sup salvages

Yuna I'm not sure how much a vamp in pre would be worth it would be up to the seller, I know a few people got rid of their vamps after the initial nerf, I kept mine

I'm level 8 with my mesmer. Accdientally took reward for Charr at the gat quite early on, hit accept on auto pilot isntead of dropping the quest first when tlaking to Ruirk, but didnt want to start over. Oh well, only a lot more time to go, thank god for AFKing.

Soloing char is quite easy its just hard to find a person to open the gate for you all the time. I am probably going to stop at level 16 and go for the drunkard title. My comp would probably die from leaving guild wars on all night, as it can barely work when i am playing normally.

would this guys name happen to be pre black market?

also a superior rune in pre is definately worth like1 mil as you can only find minor runes in pre(meaning this person got them during glitch)

20/20 sword mod, once again 1mil as only up to 20/18 is findable

20%charr mod is by far the best mod in pre as that is just about all you kill

if you think those are pricy try buying some greens in pre

Holy some things for your guide

From step 2
From level 1 to 2 when people are going for the collector armour a good place for fast xp is the wizards tower, take the ele 2nd profession quest and complete (Don’t take reward) then kill the ice ele in the cave near for the collector drops and map to the fair. Abandon the quest and repeat as ice ele are lcv3 this is a good way for low levels to get to lv 4-5

Lots of people have been asking about the collector armour pieces
The 4 collector armour pieces are found at

Catacombs: fastest is to enter near the B Estate (will fix sp when I get home), req gargoyle skulls.

The next piece is just outside the Fair, req ice loadstone drops from ice elementals.

The last two are found at Fort Ranik, req seeds and spider legs found just outside the Fort near the apple grove, both spiders and aloe are near. The aloe seeds are on the next left after the grove.

From step 3 using the :Charr at the Gate” to level don’t forget to kill the lv5 bull near as it is an extra 80-100 xp

Also when you first leave Ascalon city you can take a fast detour and kill the lv5 water drake near the res shrine at the city gate (not sure but you might also be able to pull him to the res shrine to used to death lv)

Elbereth, the bull isnt worth the run to it. It is easier to simply follow Rurik.

Anywhoo, nothing in pre is going to be sold for more thatn 200k. GG.

Okkkkay...so people have been talking about this death lvling over and over, but have left out an important piece of info...someone commented about this but Im hoping he is not right

So after u death lvl a moa bird to lvl 20, u kill it and get xp right....so do u then have to rezone and re-lvl it to lvl 20 and kill it again, and then repeat over and over and over??? That seems like it would take much longer than 100 hours....

Yes once you kill it it is dead. You get the xp. Then you have to go back into a town and come out again to start leveling another.

Yes, it will definately take more than 100 hours. At LEAST 300 I think assuming you kill a lvl 20 Moa twice daily.

I can think of a few things (if the person had all of what I'm thinking of) that could command a price that high, especially since Maxie did have what I'm thinking of and sold it to a person for 2 million post gold for them to have in pre

lvl 11 nec
lvl 11 ele

I have a level 9 Dolls Anti Leet character, will I get the reward if I get to level 20 first

Before I said that players might want to kill the bull for an extra 80xp but I have changed my mind, it is faster to just map back and restart the quests. As soon as you are able I think it is faster for players to just go over the wall and solo charr, my lv8 necro did this with only a few deaths from the hunters. The hardest part of going over the wall to solo has been to get people to open the gate and map out. I have been paying people 100 gold just to open the gate... I see a new way to make some gold from this title, just stay in dist 1 and open the gate for us lol

BTW Hi Emoxcore now I can stalk you on guru as well as in game

now just needs to find nu in the guru forum.

apologies for not adding "is leet" for some of the reasons stated above.....i dont like sounding like I am egotistical plus there is a definteive 'plan' for this char....want the title because it sounds cool to be honest.....though tons of kudos to you guys who are so dedicated and such

besides, all my names are _____ Kett....partially so people can identify me and because Kett has personal gaming meaning to me.

but yeah feel free to add me and hopefully see you guys around!

great guide and addtions to the guide, its been useful.....at lvl 8 and just started last night, though im sure im going to screw up somewhere and now im getting scared of Anet nerfing the strider and spider DLing......still havent gone over the wall been testing DLing techniques so when i get to 16 i have it down nice and pat.....have a group of 4 going at me right now (got a DARN good spawn near the rez shrine outside barridian) but only one if leveling, im hoping once it is at 14 [max when im only level 8] the other ones will start to level too but we will see

**edit** one spider is at 8 another is at 5 one is at 2 and the strider is still at 1 so i guess more then one can level it just isnt universally even and may take some time but hey i gotta work 8 hours today so it works nice to test

oh. btw, as of today (11-24-06) is it possible to level the charr over the wall or not? im hearing they nerfed it from some and others saying they unnerfed it....also anyone have a date as to when this title came out? it is really only like a month old?

Only one will level at a time. Yes the title is fairly new......
Charr is ineffective. While casters can be pulled they don't attack/stand there and get killed. The Charr you would need (the melee kind) do not pull at all, nor do the Hunters (rangers).

Oh and hiya SR

Hey Yellow? Nu is on here? Where?

not sure if nu is on here, lol but would be nice
A necro or mes can kill the casters just need to condition them or body block. I am not sure if the casters can kill the group at the res shrine anymore as I have not tried to death level for some time. I will wait until I am lv 16 before starting to death level.

hrm.....7 hours later one spider had gotten to 13 but wandered just outside the aggro bubble, one spider got to 9 and the strider and other spider stayed at thier original 1 and 2...said heck with it and kiled the 13 but now going to bed for a little while and see what happens with the 9,2 and 1 when i wake up in about 3 1/2 hours.... kinda figured the first spider would wander away aftert a while as i aggroed him just outside of the res shrine area but the other 3 were thre and seems to stay VERY close once i die so im not worried about losing them.....still not looking forward to trying to do this when I'm 16, lol....but hey if i stay diligent enough it shouldnt be too hard....or maybe by then somoene, if not me, will find a more useful way to death level then striders and spiders...

**edit** omfg net error 7. I can see THIS becoming a pain in the arse.....

Thats so true... I'm going for this almost level 14. I spam "LF someone to open gate, and then leave. paying 25g". I get people PM me "hey can you open gate for me?" or "you selling black dye?". Then when I finally get someone to open it they're like hey now that you paid me mind if I leach exp? (even if I say no they still say so I'm forced to leave if I want the run to be worthwhile).

Not only is getting a gate openner the hardest part, its also the longest. I swear, I can clear the char faster than I can get someone to simply open gate, take gold from trade and leave the game...

btw I tried offering more gold and it netted same results so figured might as well just stick to 25g...

Yunas if any of my characters are on (Dolls Anti Leet) feel free to whisper and I will open the gate for you or any others who need.

Dist 1 is no good for getting people to open the gate as all most want to do is spam the most idiotic chat imaginable, try dist 2 or 3 as they tend to get the fastest reply.

lime i feel special as i kno that trick, but i am QUITE impressed that you were capeable of masatering it

for the wall, open trade and have them open door, walk inbetween the two doors then accept. make them leave as they cant get down tehre to go through warp so they are stuck waiting. until they leave do not go through the door
