How long to stay in pre-searing?
Tyveil
Is there any reason to not go through the gate after you've obtained all 12 available skills?

I left at level 4 and never looked back. I hated that place.

8.5 and still going, I am doing all the quests and am attempting to challenge the Charr in the Northern lands Pre-sear...
Mainly because it is a pity to see the landscape destroyed after 10 mins in the microwave.

You can actually defeat those char up north if you can lure a small number of them next to the ressurection shrine where the academy monk are... you do not recieve any DP therefore, just keep reviving and fighting (almost like viking's heaven).
I was able to take out 6 charrs (1 mesemer 2 monk 1 warrior 2 ranger), with 1 elementalist and 1 monk both lv5. However, we did not bother to go any farther than that for pre-searing.

what i was wondering is that, in the pre-searing area, you can find the magical temple-style device that they use to sear ascalon, along with the guys who are in the cut-scene destroying it. I wonder if i kill them all (NOT an easy task trust me) then searing will never happen? :P nah, don't worry, searing will still happen, you just manage to see all the guys you killed appear again...

forgot to mention - its well worth staying in pre-searing until you are at least level 6 - the many quests there allow you to level up pretty quickly until all the creatures start giving you crap experience (when you turn lvl 7). also, it makes Post-searing a lot easier.

has anyone actually managed to kill all the char there? me and a friend killed 3 groups of them but didn't attempt to take down the mass of char by the altar. props to anyone who has managed that feat.

I am collecting as much Dye as possible for resale in Post-Searing $$$$$- Muwhahaha! Got 8 so far!
And I too want to take on those high level Charr Mobs on the other side of the Great Northernwall but with the party limitation of only two players makes that area next to impossible to do: Very tuff mobs!!!!

I didn't expect pre-searing to have so much stuff to do! So I'll stay for awhile I think. I thought it was just going to be a little area where you'd do a few missions to get beginning skills.

Can someone explain to me what is "pre-searing" and if we are "pre-searing" what is "searing"? I know we're not cooking here...

I went Post Searing at lvl 3 in the BWE. Bad decision. I only had a handfull of powers, no cash, suck weapons. It was a hard row to ploy.
This time I'm shooting for level 6 to 8, then go Post Sear. I've got 500+ gold, 10 or 12 skills, several good identified weapons. I'm much better prepared for Post Sear this timr around.

No. When you join the Academy you enter Post Searing. That's when the Charr attack. Everything goers Mad Max Apocolyptic once you finish the academy
You can go beyond the wall to the Charr base that is still Pre-Searing.

The Char are difficult, but not impossible. As it has been said, watch how groups move, and try to separate them by ranged attacking a very small number, and then running a little bit to make just a small group follow you. I was a level 6 Mes/nec, with a ranger/ele and we were down to the last 5 guys around the cauldron (2 bosses killed) and I had to quit (time). It's doable, and it would be even easier with a character designed to stand up to Char attacks I just hexed to death. Oh yeah, I did die quite a few times

The Charr seem impossible at first, but once you get the hang of it you can get pretty good at pulling them in. My Warrior at level 7 (at the time) and my brother, a Monk at level 8, were able to basically clear the entire area and died only six times between us.
If your going to attempt the feat, make sure your with someone who you can talk to (either on the same LAN or Ventrillo/TeamSpeak) or your very familar with their play style.

I kind of like the charr in the forest quest where the charr were raved by the river skinks after I was killed. I just heard the attack going on while I was trying to stupidly take on 4 charr at once. Nothing like death to keep you from getting too cocky. Anyways the lady saved one for me. One that was nicely wore down by skinks so one hit put the charr away.
It is better to die in the pre-sear land as you don't loose anything from it. I hear they start taking XP away for what you did in a mission if you die in post-sear. I look forward to killing some charr here in the next few days of playing.

No, you don't lose anything when you die in Post Searing. If you keep all weapons, skills, items, loot, xp, energy. You keep everything permanently.
WQhen you die in Post Searing you are given a Death Penalty. The first time you die the Death Penalty temporarily subtracts 11% of your max energy and health. Max Death Penalty is 60%. You can work it off by kill more creeps.
If you go back to town after losing everything is reset. You never lose anything permenatly.
