sorry guys. but what is meant by searing and how long is it?

Pre-Searing is the "introduction" when everything looks nice. It's where you start.. you go into Post-Searing when you talk to Tydus and go through the Academy...

The Searing is the time when you are in the academy.. they say it is a timespan of 2 years... gameplay time... we're talking few minutes

Basicaly "searing" is when you go from the nice cuddly world of old ascalon to the nasty harder part of the game.

The game is broken up into two parts....in an attempt to save the story line so you don't ruin it for yourself, there is a pre-sear and a post-sear. When you start the game you are in what's refered to as pre-sear. It's very much a tutorial for the rest of the game. You've probably heard about entering the Academy by this point. I would suggest not doing so until you have completed the majority(preferably all) of the quests available in pre-sear. Once you enter the academy the real game starts...which is refered to as Post-Sear =)

lol Vegas Kyz...I've started two new characters without getting my primary character through the game yet...just because I missed pre-sear asalon so much

all i gotta say is... this is THE NICEST forum. no1 cares that i asked a noob question. no1 complained and i got my answer really quick. it warms my heart :sniffle:

Magus · Jul 07, 2005, 02:37 PM // 14:37

A new question, maybe, but I wouldn't consider a noob question. We all had to start somewhere, and just asking a question because you aren't currently far in the game doesn't really mean anything bad at all.
I'd consider a noob question to be something more like "OMGWTFBBQ WHY DOES MY LEVEL 20 W/MO GET DESTROYED EVEN THOUGH I MAXED OUT MY HEALING PRAYERS LOLZ AND WHY DOESN'T MY FIERY DRAGON SWORD DO NO DAMAGE!!11!!1!1oneone!1one"

What it is: When the Charr attack.

How long does it last: Not long, maybe a few days. But the effects of it last ages. (for years)
