What did I miss in Presearing Northlands?

I never really spent much time in Presearing Northlands hunting Charr. Was just wondering if there is anything I missed out on (other than the fun of Charr bashing of course).

There is nothing of consequence unless you happen to have a great appreciation for the storyline. There are a few areas that inspire a feeling of reverse nostalgia, if that makes any sense...for example, you can see the first signs of what will become Piken Square. Also, I enjoy the sight of the Great Northern Wall before it becomes ravaged in the searing.

If you're not into stuff like that then no, you didn't miss much.

Charr Bags.

Thats about it.
They're the big thing in Pre-Searing now. Special green bags for Legendary Defenders of Ascalon (and other general-purpose mass charr-killers).

You certainly didn't miss out on 'charr-bashing' in pre-searing Northlands because unless you were quite a high level, for pre-searing, or partying with another high level player, you would be the one getting bashed! My lvl 7 Ranger can make very little impression on those groups of 3 or 4 lvl 8 charr, and as for the bosses...forget it!
