is there any advantages to staying in pre?

I assume you mean pre-searing? If you don't, try to be more clear as some people might not understand what you mean.

Anyway, some people think dye drops more often in pre-searing so they farm it. Best I've ever gotten is silver but that was only once.

There's also a new title called 'Defender of Ascalon', which you get by becoming lvl 20 without leaving pre-searing.

You'll never have to pay a lot of money for armor upgrades.

It's prettier.

1. Dyes do drop more often. I got a black just last night. In 2 hours I can get 3 red dyes at 300+ gold each. (at the merchant). Black drop is rare here. I think I got lucky with it.

2. Agree with posting above. Kill the bear for Ale. Max drunk title will cost 2000 platinum. You can sell the ale and make a killing. Not sure how long farming the bear takes as I have never done it.

3. Defender of Ascolon title.

4. Farm a but load of collectables and store them. Could come in handy for events like the halloween event which just passed.

5. Once you reach level 20 if you go for Defender of Ascolon title. Farming the low level baddies is super easy.

6. Pennies add up. I farmed pre for two weeks one time for collectables and made about 100k in coin drops alone. Its a long time to make 100k but as long as you are there doing something else you can't beat it. Pickup everything sell it or salvage it for crafting materials. Like I said pennings add up.
