What runes exist in pre searing. I was told that a knockdown insignia does not exist. What about a +30 health rune.

Why Stonefist Insignia isn't available isn't explained in the Insignia thread, so I'll explain it here.

It (and a few others, such as non minor runes, sentinels insignia, condition reducing runes) only drop on armor that is purple (uncommon) or gold (rare). The only magic armor that drops in pre is blue (common, but magic). Stonefist only drops on rare armor.

^^^^^ Correct. Anet has decided to put certain upgrades on "certain Colors" or rarities of drops.

So Vampiric stopped Dropping in 2007 because they moved them from "Purple" to "Gold" drops only. That effectively removed the Vamp mod from presearing except for those that wanted to keep one of everything.

As for the H+30 that exists. Now they were also added after release because Anet found that people were sticking around in presearing and requesting upgrades.

I have played in presearing for 3 years in May with a war. I lvl'd it up and did all of the quests before there was even the LDoA title.

So back to your post..

There is nothing that will lengthen the knockdown time in presearing. Eventually you will get to a high enough lvl that you can pawn the charr. they are only lvl 7 (Shaman) - 8 (everything but shaman and bosses) and 10 (bosses)
