Highest Presearing level? - Page 4 - Guild Wars Forums

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 · Jul 09, 2005, 03:09 AM // 03:09

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.

In my experience, if you dont attack the monster, or use any spells, you dont get any xp from the moster kill.

(remember cows in d2? didnt have to touch to get xp

)

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

Maxiemonster · Jul 10, 2005, 12:19 PM // 12:19

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.

Sekkendou · Jul 10, 2005, 09:48 PM // 21:48

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.

If you kill all the monsters you can first, then do all the quests you might be able to get level 17.

Maxiemonster · Jul 10, 2005, 10:12 PM // 22:12

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 · Jul 10, 2005, 10:15 PM // 22:15

haha lvl 17 pre-searing would be something to brag about

Maxiemonster · Jul 10, 2005, 10:18 PM // 22:18

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

Read my post again...at level 16 nothing left alive gives any XP. At that point, the only xp left to gain is from quests. Even if you saved every last quest, and also did all the "try out other sub jobs" quests, you would still fall short of hitting level 17. So level 16 is the ceiling presear.

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.

Jakerius · Sep 21, 2005, 04:34 AM // 04:34

I think I've seen a level 13 pre-searing. That's highest I've seen.

[BBF]Lordshonsu · Nov 27, 2005, 04:39 AM // 04:39

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 · Nov 27, 2005, 05:20 AM // 05:20

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

VGJustice · Nov 27, 2005, 06:02 AM // 06:02

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 · Nov 27, 2005, 06:08 AM // 06:08

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!
