# Taming a Black Bear in Pre-Searing is very difficult but not impossible. It takes two people working together to do this. Have the bear engage the other player, and have the one trying to charm the bear, stand so that the bear will be on the edge of his aggro bubble. Both players should wait until the bear uses its Brutal Mauling skill. You can figure out when by counting the bear's attacks - it will use it every fourth attack. As soon as it does, the charmer must use Charm Animal, and the other player must run in the other direction. The bear must be made to chase the retreating player to get it far from the one using the skill. If done correctly, the bear will have moved too far away for it to use Breaking Charm in time. It will definitely require several tries to get it right.

Add that somewhere.

personally (imo) If your still getting xp from charr, you shouldnt be deathlvling, you can probably get more XP and a higher % from doing several charr runs then deathlvling and getting DC like what had happen to you.

Same here.

Is there a set time of being idle that when reached will kick you? Sometimes when i leave it on I get discoed and other times i don't.

amish lifeguard · Dec 04, 2006, 10:11 PM // 22:11

I've gotten a 2 Day message. I don't think theres a set time.

Elbereth_Tiniquetil · Dec 04, 2006, 10:34 PM // 22:34

I have never seen the server reset itself after a given amount of time, and I have left my dolls to the walls character running all night on many occasions.

Yes we all hate the evil Err7

My preferred method to getting my characters up to level 16 is to kill the Charr in the “Northlands” until lv16 then start the death level. I just wish ANet would (a) remove the title or (b) give us a way to get the title without the need to death level.

I have some suggestions for Anet to help us get the pre title

In the Northlands they could add a group of high level Charr in the Pilken Square area.

Or

Have a quest that lets us join the fight at the gate that you can see from the wall near the king. This could have lv14 NPC that would let us level without the need to DL.

Also they could do more with the Wizards Tower area with perhaps mutated wolfs or scale from the magical experiments.

Also can we please get storage in pre it would not be hard to add it the area, I see no valid reason why we have not had it added.

(off topic my Dolls Anti Leet character needs 1 more white dye I will trade a black for it tonight if you have one)

lol @ the mutants. As for the storage maybe just make one that is pre items only so you can't have green weapons and stuff in pre. Other then that we don't really need a storage.

B§x¿44¶»1@$ · Dec 04, 2006, 11:39 PM // 23:39

Well maybe like- Storage, than you can only deposit to in pre. How about that. Just as extra inventory space if we wanted to store more dyes, purple weapons, stackable drops, extra sets of armor, etc.

I dont see the point in taking away the title now..for one it would probably piss many people off, and the people who have the title,well if it was takin away it would have to be gone for them as well.

But other than that, your ideas do sounds nice

I love this idea, a storage just for pre-searing. hmm that should go on the suggestion forum.

I just did this because I was going to be afk anyway, decided i might as well get some XP.

If any warrior is looking for a good sword, i've got this one I picked up today:
Short Sword (purple)
10-14 Damage (Req.4 swordsmanship)
Damage+14% in stance
Double Adrenaline on Hit (8% chance)
Health +26
PM elnai is leet if you want to buy! (sorry its a little off topic, but people who are going for title and might need a weapon like that will most likely be stopping here

i have recently been hearing alot of people having trouble with getting an enemy to the max level w/o being d/c'ed...wondering if someone could spend some time and look more deeply into this.

Ju asked me for transfers not too long ago, and being the nice person I am, did them for you.

and i very much appreciated that.

now on the case of

Quote:

kinda wasn't fair to us now that it is EMBRACED, because there is a title for it, now people just ask "hey anyone going for title" not like "yeah i'm going for 20" "20? lolz you have no life". Do you see the difference here? That is what I don't like, that people shit on me and now people are like "hey are you going for the title?" People being nice to me cause I am high level, not flaming like I used to get.

so what this says is that you are jealous, being jealous though is not a bad thing, what makes it bad is how you express it. this goes back to the ''if you dont have anything nice to say then dont say it at all'' thing (you to amish EH HEM) so please lets put aside our differences and work together on getting lvl 20 AND the title. also about people flaming you, when you do something meaningless you are ''wasting your time'' but when you get a reward its worth it, thats just human nature

B§x¿44¶»1@$ · Dec 05, 2006, 01:47 AM // 01:47

BTW- Can anyone still confirm true or false that anything in pre seer can drop vamp weapons?

amish lifeguard · Dec 05, 2006, 03:07 AM // 03:07

I've heard they no longer drop Dom.

On the topic of storage unblancing pre-searing, well we have storage in shing jea AND in kamadan so why not the first campaign?

unlike shing jea and Kamadan pre sear is totally set apart and a different time from the other 2

murtagh deadmoon · Dec 05, 2006, 04:39 AM // 04:39

True, but it is the same general tutorial idea, and if Anet were wanting to get rid of easy money making scams they would just put storage in Pre-Sear so that the things that leaked in during the exploit stop changing hands for millions.

Yeah I was saying for charr hunting

And as for storage, I'm fine with the way it is, just keep what you want/need and sell/give out the rest.

And from a lore point of view, I don't think they would want to give Xunlai Agents some sort of time distortion power, being able to transfer items two years into the past.

Dr. Fire · Dec 05, 2006, 11:49 AM // 11:49

Yes, I mentioned in an earlier post that I am still actively lvling my Mes by killing Char. I am merely Dlvling him on my extra computer when I am afk, playing Nightfall on my main computer, or while sleeping overnight at home or at work. Last night was the first night that I wasn't disconnected. This was while at the Firehouse (I am a fulltime Firefighter). Got up at 5:30AM and found the Spider at lvl 15 (agroed him at 10:30PM). Killed him and 20 mins later was kicked. Close call! I am going to do the kill every 2 hour thing during the day when I am at home, but can't sit and play, then let it play itself through the night and if I am kicked, oh well.

In my opinion lvl 14 baddies wouldn't fit the storyline and be out-of-place in pre...though the idea of a quest is appealing to me in another way...

Also I don't realy like the idea of uhm...lvl 14 mutant stuff?..

Well...if there would ever be a storage implemented in pre then ofcourse there shouldn't be a storage thats connected to post...ever
noone should forget that pre is 2 years ahead of post.
And about a presearing-only storage...if regular players would store stuff in there and then sear...would that mean they lost all items in there during the searing? Or would they have access to that 'pre storage' anyway in order to still have those items and if so...would this extra pre-storage available in post be available only to prophecies players? And be character based as opposed to account based?
Would that storage stay in pre indefinately...inaccessable to random players having only toons in post?

In my opinion a way easier way to add extra inventory space would be to have bags available through normal means in pre (with or without the runes of holding).

One of the ideas I had was to have a repeatable quest, possibly in the northlands, giving maybe 100xp or so. One possible objective could be to clear the northlands or to scout ahead or anything (anet is creative..they can think of something haha).

This repeatable quest could be unlocked for people at lvl 16 or above. Another idea could be to have, when having successfully cleared all of the charr in the northlands, a collector spawn in the northlands having bags (plz anet beg beg :P ). This could also be part of the quest reward of this same repeatable quest.

Also this would be imo a better way to earn legendary defender of ascalon instead of death levelling on moss spiders as you'd actually be able to earn LDoA in a now normal way. Theres not much 'legendary' about killing tons of moss spiders I think...

Maybe mot directly related to this quote but I think many of us 16+ pre's have had our fair share of people calling us all kinda of stuff because we're seemingly wasting time levelling, maxing and dying-black our pre toons...
I'll quote a short conversation i had a while back in pre when someone saw my lvl 16 pre ranger in Ascalon City:

Him:Wow...you're level 16 in pre
Me:Yes
Him:Whats the point of being level 16 in pre?
Me:Well..whats the point of playing Guildwars?
Him:Good point...

Have a nice day!
