BTW hes on lvl 13. or 12. If he lied about his lvl then...
Queenie
Maybe before the update when you could transfer stuff from post to pre he transferd all his dyes on this character...
LuxuryGosu
can anyone tell me how you could transfer stuff from post to pre before they fixed it?
Apple
Go to Observer mode
Go to guild hall
Have someone trade you something
Leave guild hall

Leave guild hall

I believe it is possible however there is no proof here.
There was a glitch a while ago that allowed people to bring items into pre by meeting guildies in the hall and then simply trading them.
I'm not accusing you of exploiting a glitch, just saying its a possibility.
EDIT: Yea the glitch I was talking about was the one [ Apple ] just stated above, however they said in an update that they fixed it.
EDIT AGAIN: just noticed that [ Apple ] was responding to another post above his =P

Ok, for those of you who never believed me... I DID get all the dyes BEFORE the fix of the exploit, no I did NOT hack, and here's the damn proof. As well, I wrote a 5 page manual on how to do what I did and posted on this site, but at the current moment it's pending approval.
Here's the proof:

For the record you don't need to farm charr to get to lvl 10 in pre. I have left pre with 2 characters at lvl 10. I did farm monsters but not charr, but it took a long time 
fgarvin
Let's see if I have this correct:
You got all of this dye (which I believe) by some farming, but mostly trading.
What I don't get, is how...
Buy low, sell high? Farm till your fingers bled? Take advantage of new players? Gaile is your mom? What/How?
Really, how did you do it...specifically? I have no intention of following in your footsteps as I now have all six core professions over two accounts who have either finished the game or are very close to it.

Seems to be a lot of hate going on....why? Everyone plays this game a different way. No one should make fun of someone just because they've chosen a different way of exploring aspects of the game. (enough of the 5th grade guidance counselor, on with what I really want to say)
Grow up you infantile posers.
I doubt that Glob or Thor have done an original thing in this game....just look at their ultra-original names. The instant one of you can show me something original, I'll rescind your "poser" titles. Until then, follow the leader like I'm sure you've been doing the entire time you've played.

Megla Zero
Its not that hard.... thanks to Tkob getting me started by buying my black dye (for 5k, yes) I then managed to buy/sell dyes until I was up to 16k. Then I lost my account and had to start all over, which I've gotten bored with and just been playing post lately :-p
So you finally left pre Tkob? Thats gonna give me even less incentive to try and rebuild my gold in pre. Oh well, at least I can still farm in post! I thought you were gonna keep all your gold in pre though? It was your huge accomplishment.

Naxohs Seralna
Kind of embarassing that some of the pre-searing guys and girls have more gold than all 4 of my post-searing chars put together.
Dracus Steelbow
Hello Noober. or should i say, TKoB PRE CHAR! yuo never answer me, when i ask to buy stuff.........congratz on the stuff though.
Josh Josh Josh
I belive him... Its not hard to get that much just take alot of time. This is how you could got about infinite amount of black dyes... Than I got bored and left ...... But anyways all I did was farm until I got a couple of dyes sold them used that money to get more dyes at a cheaper price sell those etc.... Eventually you get alot of dyes......
Venenatus Ensis
seriously, its not hard to get black dye in pre, most people just want to go to post to quickly to really stick around and make a profit
master_ranger_matt
can i have one? dude, that's insane, wait till thr cats in your academy group see that.
Lichtenberg
OLOLOL when i had my char in pre i used to see her everywhere buying every dye possible, she only took dyes cheap fyi 
Numa Pompilius
I still don't believe this, and the reason I don't believe this is that "buy low sell expensive" doesn't work in pre, as there's nothing to sell except dyes, and noone has more than at most a couple of hundred gold to buy for. Yeah, sure you could buy 250 orange for 40 gold and sell them for 60, and that'd buy you one black for 5000... Which you couldn't sell at all. Yeah, gg.
Or at least that was the case up till the exploit was discovered. I suppose not only tons of high-end items flowed in to pre-sear that way, but also tens of millions in gold, so perhaps there's lots of people in pre who can pay a couple of K per black now.

Well congrats. It's nice to know you have a much more pathetic life than the rest of us gw players.

Its easy to get money in pre it just takes time. Over a period of 5 days I got a character to lvl 13 found 2 black dyes and had 7k in gold so it is very possible to make money in pre. You just have to know what to sell and what to keep.

I been watching Noober's character over the last couple of months. I keep a pre-character around to just bash stuff and guide newbies around as a public service. I dabbled in some armor collector trade a bit but really only to do stuff while waiting for the inevitable "can someone hold my hand, cuz I can't find my own butt without help" call.
This is all legit effort on the part of one very bored dye trader. Tkob pre char started showing up in towns offering to buy dye when people declared they had dye to sell. (enough were from newbs that you could often see half the transaction on the open channel.) It's pretty obvious that Tkob bought at about half the selling price noober was using. (give or take on color)
And then after a bit, Tkob started appearing at peak hours in Fort Ranik selling dye at an announced price. Anything but Black. rates never fluctuated. Every time I was on.
That 3k in start up money probably brought in 5-6k that got cycled back into more stock. It wasn't long before people started looking for Tkob when they had dye to sell.
It works for a couple of reasons:
1) lots of new players are very happy to sell dye for 50 gld rather than take up slots or merchant it for 1. (I've personally seen players refuse to take more from me more than once, afraid they are taking advantage of me)
2) lots of players want dye early on and are getting run so they never see drops. (anybody spending time in Pre has seen the people that don't even know how to find certain areas of the map)
3) noober's sale pitch was clear, constant but not annoying. Never picked a fight with other merchants, never got condecending.
4) A player could keep a black dye for post and hope to market it for 7k with a lot of pitching and standing around or they could have 5k from tkob in their pocket and be done with it. (and 5k will get you run to yaks plus armor and a little more)
On a personal note, Ariana Kervil will miss seeing Tkob around in the fort.

The Mighty Toe
In my humble opinion, I say, 'Bravo' to noober for this great achievement. I have to say, you must have a lot of patience to trade for long enough to get all those dyes. Once more, bravo.
Avarre
I think that's pretty awesome.
I think the people absolutely crying are hilarious. Because you're totally lessened by this. It completely ruined your life to see someone play the game differently and do better at it than you do at your way.

Lord Runner I
Hey, I know this guy, create a new char and go around see what tkob does, he is a really great person making this kind of money in presearing, he even holds lotterys! Its fun in presearing, btw the way he makes his money is stacking up on dyes by buying em real cheap! well we all know LA D1, lol Buy Low Sell HIGH!

Is there a collector now that happens to give headgear now? Because I was just asking around yesterday morning to see if I could get my lvl 8 N/Me a headgear in pre, and everyone said only new characters made AFTER the 3/9/06 update had the headgear available. If there is a collector, could you point the way, so that I won't have to delete this char just to get headgear on a character in Pre?
Edit: Also, if you could post a /age or /deaths (i think those are the commands to bring up the age and deaths of your character) screenshot along with your bar showing your lvl 10 for us? And if you can a screenshot of the runes you have on your armor? This will help make believers out of us non believers.
sorry to burst your bubble but presearing chracters do have headgear and you can access it in the character generater. even before it was "fixed" i have been playing for 10 months and all of my characters had headgear in pre

And her time IS wasted actually. She's a talented trader, and that's why she should've invested her talent and time in huge trades, she'd make at least 5 times that ammount.

Let me give you the low down of WHY I did it. I have a glitch on either my computer or my internet provider is just really.. messed up, so my internet crashes every 1 and a half hours on the dot for about half a second. Now this may not seem like a big problem for casual surfers, but when I'm in a party for a 2 hour mission, I'll get dropped at the 1 and a half hour mark (one the DOT.) Because of that glitch, I forced myself to reside in Pre to help out my guildies with their pre chars (hence the name Tkob Pre Char.) One of my guildies recommended I get a full black set of pre armor, seeing as my char was to never leave pre, so I said sure why not.
I wondered how I was going to go about getting the dyes, so I took the 1k I had on me and bought a few dyes. I sold them for higher and repeated. Then I traded I think 6 blues 6 greens 4 reds and 5 silvers for my first black, I forgot how I got the other two and the last one I found. After leaving guild wars for about 2 weeks, I came back and said, "Hey why not I'll go for a record." So I farmed till I got 3k, then bought and sold dyes. I did that for 2 months and at the end you see what the outcome is. I held lotteries for black dyes, also.. The first winner was Rosie Fletcher with a win of 5 black dyes, the 2 runners up got 1k each and everyone else won 100 gold (no matter what they bought.. so 1 orange dye which I sold them for 75 would have gotten them 100 gold [+25 gold and an orange dye.]) I did this again the next week, only it was 10 black dyes and 5k to each runner up. This is because I had over 750 dyes to sell off, and they all sold withing 4 hours. The top runner up got 3 black dyes for her high contribution.. I just didn't think it was right she didn't win. That's about it.
I decided to go for a record, I surpassed it (the old record was 64 blacks, to the best of my knowledge,) and set a new one. Now if anyone wants to beat me, they have to beat 100k CASH (yes, 100k) and 122 black dyes. I gave the 10 to the winner, Merciless Evilphyre, 3 blacks to the runner up, and bought a few more blacks because I had about a buncha dyes left. After that, I left pre forever. We won 9 to 1

The people bashing him don't bash someone like ractoh for having like 15 mill xp or more, so back off.. honestly.

He made a bloody thread for pete sake..He did this to get attention, he's not 'original' or 'unique'. He realized he can't do anything in post searing, so he decided to live in his basement, selling/buying dyes.
Balance
fyi noober can do a lot of "things" through the money made through those 118 Black Dyes, all in all I believe noober DOES deserve attention for this, after all: who doesn't enjoy being appreciated?
