What level should I be before I leave Pre-Searing?

Thank You

Avarre · Nov 05, 2008, 05:15 AM // 05:15

Whatever you decide to leave at. You won't be crippled by leaving low, and there's no real benefit to leaving high.

StormDragonZ · Nov 05, 2008, 05:24 AM // 05:24

I always left at level 7. The moment I reached level 7, I knew it was time to move on...

Then again, how much do you like Pre-Searing? You can stay as long as you want, but once you leave, there is no turning back.

Anon-e-mouse · Nov 05, 2008, 05:29 AM // 05:29

You can leave pre at level 1 or leave at level 20, the choice is entirely yours. My first toons I evicted at around level 8.

germanturkey · Nov 05, 2008, 05:43 AM // 05:43

yeah, its up to you. i left with my first character at around 10, and i have a level 3 warrior in post as a mule.

but i love presearing so much i might make a permapre.

**Marty Silverblade** · Nov 05, 2008, 05:58 AM // 05:58

For a first time player I recommend doing all the quests and once you've done this, you should be in the level 7-10 range. Thats preferable; you'll be able to manage the stuff in post without much more trouble.

wind fire and ice · Nov 05, 2008, 06:00 AM // 06:00

Whenever you get tired of it really,i wouldnt recomend going over 10 because it gets to be a pointless grind after that since your going to post any ways,and can level much faster there.

CronkTheImpaler · Nov 05, 2008, 06:16 AM // 06:16

as all the wise ones have said in the preceeding posts, its entirely up to you. HOWEVER, let me relate a story. settle down its short!

way back in the long long ago 2005 i left pre a level one. why one might ask? well its simple really, i was an idiot. anyways i got to the rough and tumble world of post searing. i immediately relaized that the bad guys are MUCH less forgiving in post. i no longer could have a good natured knock around with grawl and hulking. no no my new enemies cared not for my lack of skill and experience. bottom line, i spent alot of time in the horizontal position.

having said that, just level some and grab every skill you can get your little grubby mitts on. skills = survival in my opinion.

Cronk.

have fun and good luck mate.

subarucar · Nov 05, 2008, 09:02 AM // 09:02

5-8 is always a good time, usually by then you should have most of the quests in that area done, although if you dont want to finish all the quests before leaving thats fine. The enemies in post start at level 3/4, and you have a party size of 4, i wouldnt suggest leaving earlier than level 3/4 otherwise you may struggle a bit.

Rothan Celt · Nov 05, 2008, 09:06 AM // 09:06

imo lvl 8 or until it gets boring.

*Darcy* · Nov 05, 2008, 11:35 AM // 11:35

As said, level 7 at least, but more important is:

1. Complete all the available skill quests before choosing a second profession. Otherwise once you are able to change your secondary, you will have to purchase these skills.

2. Get as much gold as you can. In post-searing, you will immediately need to do two things - pay 50g for storage and purchase better armor. While buying a Charr Bag will seem attractive, it won't protect you from monsters.

KoKoS · Nov 05, 2008, 02:08 PM // 14:08

I leave searing on lvl 8-9 on all my chars after i get all armor pieces and all skills..

Quaker · Nov 05, 2008, 04:07 PM // 16:07

I'd say somewhere around level 7-9 if it's your first character. Otherwise you'll have a harder time in post-searing than you need to. For later characters, when you have gold, weapons, etc., in storage already, the level doesn't matter so much.

Winston · Nov 05, 2008, 11:56 PM // 23:56

Repeating again; Do all the quests you can, get as many skills as possible for your primary and all the secondary professions (from quests that is).

illidan009 · Nov 06, 2008, 12:20 AM // 00:20

My first char left at 6, no problems with money or buying skills...don't go over 10, and for your first char, don't leave under 4... ><
So glad to see many threads with people new to GW!!

pamelf · Nov 06, 2008, 02:12 AM // 02:12

My main recommendation for pre is leave at whatever level you want, just do all the free skill quests. That way you leave pre with as many skills as your character can have, and a few more unlocked to boot.

Issac · Nov 06, 2008, 02:14 AM // 02:14

Enjoy it while you can, once your gone theirs no turning back. Do all the quests, learn some stuff about the game during that time.

imnotyourmother · Nov 06, 2008, 01:45 PM // 13:45

lvl 10. that way you do not get pawned
