I started a Mo/Ele last night and have taken on the task of flooding pre-sear with high dmg weapons(farming char)....Free Belt Pouches (farming the bandits) and Icy Loadstones (Farming Ice Elements). I'm currently lvl10 (have not done any quests...with the exception of my very first monk quest and have accepted the quests I needed to get my second set of monk skills and my first set of ele skills.) Currently I can only get XP from Char and Ice Eles....If you see anyone giving away belt pouches, high dmg(for pre-sear) weapons, Icy Loadstones, or Bear Pelts That's me being stoopid =D

Once I manage to find a purple shield or purple sword I'll be in much better shape there.

That said, level 15 is the highest I've seen presearing. That level 15 being myself.  If you see Muffy Gutentight ingame, that me, being stoopid! |
You were dancing I'm going for the lvl 15 too, I'm almost lvl 10 now, I would love to play together, if you ever want. If you see me, my IGN is: Pre MaxiemonsterOh yeah, by the way, did you spot any really good weapons. I've found a 13-20 Hammer, but I'm not a great fan of Hammers, I've also found a 5-16 Axe, which I'm carying now. 10-13 is my record for swords.
And a question. That you can't salvage runes with a normale Salvage Kit I know. But can you salvage upgrades with it? Sine I have some nice ones, but I don't want to try it, and actually only had chance to get Wood Planks in the first place

I have left old Ascalon at lv 8 with my characters because it was increasingly hard to find something that gave experience to me after a kill. Of course there was all the Charr over the North Wall but they killed me more then I killed them lol.

I think the characters may level up at diffent rates, which might explain some of the discrepancies in the levels people think they can attain pre-sear.
I always assumed that all characters leveled up at the same XP levels, but I have a case that may show differently.
Last weekend, I got my wife hooked on GW. We both started new characters: Mine was Monk and chose Mesmer secondary. She chose Elementalist with a Monk secondary. We were playing all the same quests, but I beat her to every next level. By the time I hit level 5, she needed 600 more XP to hit level 5.

Ok, The question that I have to ask is this: Has anyone ever eliminated all the char around the big cauldren in the North Wall mission? Wouldn't that mean, in theory, that the searing was averted, lol ?

All characters level up at the same rate. You just be killing different amounts of enemies, or the quests could give you different amounts of exp.

Pretty stupid that that caused all the trouble, since a lvl 7 could stop all this 
And my question again. That you can't salvage runes with a normale Salvage Kit I know. But can you salvage upgrades with it? Sine I have some nice ones, but I don't want to try it, and actually only had chance to get Wood Planks in the first place

no you can't salvage upgrades with a regular salvage kit

Sure, if you know exactly what the enemy is up to, you can probably win. But someone keeps ressurecting those dang Charr, and one day they'll inevitably figure out whatever they're doing.

If Anet put expert salvage kits in pre-searing then no one would ever want to leave, the searing would never take place, and the Anet business model would be shot. lol
Maybe there should be a count down to searing for each new character so people would hurry up and get out. But I'm just as guilty as some. I have one character, a level 10 warrior, and I haven't left yet because I'm not sure what to be as a secondary. Don't want to do the over done wa/mo combo.

- You get experience relative to the level of the monster killed compared to your own level; that amount is divided by the number of people in the party.
So lower level characters get more experience for killing the same monster as a higher level character.
Everyone gets the same amount of experience from quests, too, but not everyone gets the same quests.
Also, because it's mostly the same experience going to everyone, once someone falls behind, they are likely to stay fallen behind. (Mostly.)
Asrial
You get double the XP from bosses.

what are "some of those nifty secrets" in pre sear, one was the "cauldron of searing" thingy, another i saw was piken square, which was full of what seemed to b supply boxes
JoDiamonds
There's a rabbit. As far as I know there's only one rabbit in Guild Wars. And only in Pre Searing.
I haven't finished the game, but I'm pretty far. Maybe there's a ghost rabbit in the Underworld.

To the guy who said he left pre-searing with 100xp left to get level 2, I did it with 500xp left. I also didn't really do it right, so I think you can leave with near 1k left, but I'm not positive. I got that char to Droknar's, ran a few arena runs just for fun, and now I'm leveling the character up normally. As for the highest level pre-searing, I could never spend that much time killing things for 8xp each to get all the way to 17. I do, however, love staying in pre-searing. On almost every character I make, I explore the entire map. The surprises that you find are really quite enjoyable, and the scenery is really great. It's just so much nicer than the torn wasteland post-searing. Though, the Shiverpeaks do have some really nice scenery too.

Well, I'm lvl 11 now, it takes pretty long though, till you find someone who can really help you I'm trying to Dye my armor now, got 1 part Dyed. Dying them a mix of Black and Silver, looks really nice Hope I'll see you ince Pre-Searing once Sekkendou, maybe we can kill some Charr together then

Sekkendou, what weapon are you carrying? Since I've seen a Fiery Dragon Sword in Pre-Searing Couldn't get my hands on it.. I was a little bit too late. The guy bought it for 3K.. I would've bought it for way more 
Currently I'm carrying a Ball Hammer of Fortitude Dmg: 13~20, +21 Health I like it, but the Fiery Dragon Sword would be better, since it was 11~18.

Nice! I'd sure love to come by a Firey Dragon Sword presear! Nice damage on it too! Here's a few pics and my stuff. Haven't really found a lot I like so far.
I ran into someone else doing this stuff. He got to 16, the Char bosses stopped giving XP, and all the quets brought him about 1500 short of leveling to 17. So 16 is the top it would seem.

Helm: Silver
Armor parts: Black/Silver mix
I like the color I have right now, the Black is too Black, I had Silver, but that's too bright
So I just mixed them.I don't really like Hammers, but this one is pretty good. I'll change it when I'll find a better one
Plommon
haha lvl 17 pre-searing would be something to brag about
Maxiemonster
Indeed, didn't reach higher then lvl 12 And even that took long.
Here is the inventory from my other Pre-Searing character by the way
It's an old picture, it was my old lvl 12 Pre-Searing Monk

I'm getting about 1% per run, so evenually I'll hit 16. I do a run or two a day, sometimes more. I just got a couple new PS2 imports, so it's slowed down some while I play them, hehe.

Hate to bump an old thread, but...
Someone in Ascalon mentioned "leveling" the Charr - taking a high level character and having the bosses kill him/her over and over and over. Apparently, there are characters that have reached level 17.
Insights? Thoughts? I might just give it a try, since there's nothing left for me to do on my main character.

I think I've seen a level 13 pre-searing. That's highest I've seen.
[BBF]Lordshonsu
ive heard that u can reach lvl 20 by letting the charr lvl up/killing u. after they lvl up to a certain point u kill em right now im lvl 8 and am trying to get to lvl 9 without going north or doing quests
Maxiemonster
Yep, I've reached 18 with my Mesmer, and there's a lvl 20 Monk in Pre-Searing too now. How to do it?
First go to the Northlands. Lure as many Charr as you can back to the entrance and let them all gank the Monk over there (she's strong, she can hold out longer then you think), when she's dead, let them all gank you while you stand at the respawn point. Every time you respawn they'll kill you again, and by this the Charr will lvl up. It can take about 6 hours till they're lvl 20, so this isn't you can repeat easily, it's best to do this while you go to work/school or you go to bed or something. It'll take long to get to lvl 20, but it's possible

wow, that's cool. And I was all stoked about my level 9 in pre. I had heard of 20's, but I didn't know that's how they did that.
Maxiemonster
Another nice tip. If you want a high lvl pet early on, let yourself be followed by several Wolfs and walked to a nearby respawn spot, eventually the'll lvl, if they're the desired lvl, charm them, and you have a nice high lvl pet early on, very handy for Rangers!
