I believe you can get to 13. There is a post somewhere here about it and what to kill. Personally, I just leave right away, but in short, the answer to your question is yes

Why wait till 7+ to go to post? I have 15k armor by level 7. There is no point in Pre-Searing once you have done this game over and over.

You can go up to 9 levels above monsters you kill before you will no longer receive any xp from killing them.

So in short

You can go up to lvl 9 killing the ice and hulking stone elementals in Wizards folly (they are lvl 3)

Then you can go up to lvl 11 killing the pinesouls north of the wall (lvl 5)

Then you can go up to lvl 14 killing the char.

This last bit is a bit hard to do because your armor will be relatively low level and the maximum party size is 2 ppl. The char will be around lvl 8 and in mixed groups of around 4.

As an elementalist i tried and was ripped to pieces in seconds with my 7AL armor.

It can be done and some ppl have even managed to conquer the shrine that is surrounded by many many char .... /em: takes off hat

I'll find out in a couple weeks. Why? Why not. I already have two characters in post. I'm doing it just because I can. So far, I've only taken my primary profession quests, the rez signet and that very first one to talk to Sir Tydus. I'll just kill as much as I can until I don't get anymore XP, then do all the quests. I think you can get to 16 or 17 this way. There are level 10 Charr over the wall. At that point though, it's going to be really, really boring killing the same thing over and over. I guess I'll find out if I can hold out that long.

I tried with a friend, it's quite challenging but very amusing
even at low lvl (7-8) you can wipe the altar completely

<3 Char

Inez: by the time you reach lvl10 even doing EVERY quest in pre-sear won't get you to level11...so it's not worth saving until later. by lvl10 you need about 7,500 XP for next lvl...I'm not sure on the actual numbers but there's less than 7,500xp worth of quests in pre-sear.

btw: my pre-sear monk is a lvl13 right now

good point
by my calculations, doing all the quests from pre-searing should give 5750 xp

I guess you could wait until you were 5,500 xp away from hitting lvl 16 and then go do them because you were bored of killing char....but after lvl10 doing EVERY quest in per-sear isn't going to give you enough XP for the next lvl...so the quests themselves have nothing to do with how high you can lvl in pre.

they're optional if all you want is to get to lvl16

If you only do the quests you can get to level 7, easy.

If you really want to see how high you can go follow Shaquiras methods above, by just killing everything until you stop recieving XP - then maybe attempt the quests afterwards, you get the same XP from quests regardless of your level, the same of which cannot be said from killing monsters.
