I think it depends on your equipment and profession or you can kill them.

yea, my guild leader and I both deathlvl charr sometimes togethet and we had 2 shamans in our group. it was only 4 charr before lack of time, but evenutally they were all lvl 20, they didnt heal the hunter or chaot when they were down to really low health, and we were still waiting to be rezzed. they only used heal area.

Well i had a good group of a 11, minus the 2 shamans i had to kill, 9, minus the 3 i accidently killed while attemping to kill the shamans, 6 -.- firestorm ftl

but my friends got a good laugh out of that

Started my first death leveling today

Just going to check how long it'd take to get to level 17 (it'd only take 10 times if I'd get all 3 groups to level 16), if it'd take to long, I'm going back to post-searing.

Btw, as you can probably see, I've set GW to the minimum graphics, and I also minmized the screen. Will the graphics changes matter anything?

condisdering the amount of charr you have in that pic, it shouldnt take to long to get them to level 20. You might want to pull them a bit closer, the hunter all the way in the back looks very far, you should be able to get them all right wher the first to charrs(the Ashen Claw or chaots, whichever they are) are, so its easier to kill them.

i'm deathlvling now at lvl 15... cba to kill the bosses another 80 times :S
anyway... i was wondering... Would it be wise to let the charr lvl as high as possible within the 10 hours?? or just kill them when they are like 2 a 3 lvls higher then you and start again??

Basicly... is it worth letting them lvl higher then 2 lvls which takes more deaths... or just start over?

At the moment i only seem to get like 4 out of 7 a 8 charr to lvl each time and kill them at lvl 17 after around 7 a 8 hours so i can death lvl twice a day.

Lilanthe · Jan 17, 2007, 04:23 PM // 16:23

Yes, it seems a single group of charrs will feast on the xp while the other groups will get barely nothing.

Since the level difference is often quite big, I let the first group get to lvl17, I then kill them, let the others level a bit.

Normally I kill one group of lvl 17, one group of lvl 14-15, and three groups of lvl 11-12 per runs. Nets me around 8-10% per run.

I know it pretty boring to kill charr bosses over and over, but as slow at it may seems, it's very fast compared to the xp/time ratio of deleveled charrs. Stick with it, it will be incredibly tiresome, but you'll get to lvl 16 faster that way.

Maxiemonster · Jan 17, 2007, 05:22 PM // 17:22

Yeah, I've got a lvl 13 Charr group, a lvl 9 one, and a lvl 8 one (the 3-manned group). I'm pretty sure one group levels more then the rest because the others don't deal as much damage as that one. I guess Lilianthe's method is a good way to counter this. It's a shame though, if I'd kill 11 (3 full groups) of lvl 16 ones, I'd get exactly 10% each run, which would be sweet.

And another thing. While I was deathleveling my mother accidently switched of my computer, but I was in time to log in and still got to re-join my game. I wondered if this was considered "logging in" still, that'd make it possible to exceed the 10 hour time limit with great ease. I didn't check if the Charr still got their experience however, but see'ing they were still on their spot, I guess they did. Maybe logging out and back in every couple of hours or so would solve the error=59 problem?

amish lifeguard · Jan 17, 2007, 09:11 PM // 21:11

Hmmm, that may work Maxie.

And the only thing with Lilanthe is that you have to monitor it to kill them when they hit a certain level so you cant stay afk the whole time.

Check page 41, post 805 for the way to make them level relatively evenly.

its nice but its really long ;S

Lilanthe · Jan 18, 2007, 05:08 AM // 05:08

Great guide Holy. I see I was doing a mistake by pulling the most possible groups to the shrine.

But one thing I wonder, is it really necessary to do the pancake stacking method ? To block them behind the hill west to the res shrine seems a pretty good way, or does it f*ck the xp sharing ? Or is it only a matter of preference ?

Anyhow, I'll be trying this tomorrow.

Beld the Savage · Jan 18, 2007, 11:28 AM // 11:28

TNX Holy Warblade for that amazing guide

It sure answered some questions that i still had!!
I now got a group of 9 charr consisting of hunters, chaots and ashen pounding on me

But i had 1 difficult thing the first time i tried this way... I didn't know how far the charr should be pancacked for it to work. (I was afraid i would die before i got to the sand back) Anyway i lured them awfully which made them to scatter all around and groups getting divided and charr running all over the place not knowing what to do...

At the end i managed to get them back to the pancake position and lured them all the way to the shrine

ACE guide!!

amish lifeguard · Jan 18, 2007, 11:53 AM // 11:53

Its long because its very detailed lol.

Beld the Savage · Jan 18, 2007, 02:14 PM // 14:14

Holy... in your guide u state that if u notice some charrs that do not lvl, u can kill the caster of that group only. This way the other groups will start lvling... but how do u determine the primary caster of that group when there is more then 1 caster in it??

Otherwise that method is only possible if there are only melee attackers and 1 caster.

Dr. Fire · Jan 18, 2007, 04:31 PM // 16:31

Lvl 16, WOOT! If any of you guys out there are new to this stuff, and are to the point where you are doing solo Char boss runs, and would like a few pointers let me know in-game. I am sure you do not have a problem killing everything, but I had a pretty good system going in which I could complete a solo boss run in 15-20 minutes. That included killing all the regular Charr around the shrine for the drops. Four runs an hour certainly made things progress much faster.

Read Warblades most excellent Char pulling guide and then proceeded to pull 3 groups to the shrine using his method. I think how fast you complete the set-up greatly depends on the Char spawn, but it worked almost flawlessly. Only hitch that I had was when pulling the group of 11 to the sand box. One group stopped chasing me, but they got stuck where they were so I had to go back and get them. Same thing happened when I went from the sand box to the shrine. One group did not chase and I had to re-agro them. But those were no big deal and only caused me an extra minute or two of set-up time. Amazingly enough, the gate guards managed to kill one of the Char. After I killed the only Shaman, that left 9. They are currently beating the tar out of me, lol.

One thing that I noticed when pulling the Char. Anytime that you are around any type of obstruction, once you pass it, angle over so that it is behind you. This way, if you do die, the Char will get stuck on the obstruction since they always walk back in a straight line. I had a group of 2 Chaots, and 2 Ashen Claws, and due to all the degen, and my impatience, I died once. Sure enough when I returned they were stuck on a tree that I had made sure to put between them and their return path.

One question for Warblade or whoever else can answer this. In the guide, it states that there are 7 Char patrols available for pulling. Earlier in this thread it was stated that the only patrols that could be pulled were the ones around the Char shrine. If all 7 patrols are available for pulling why not start with the one at the first ruined house?

Very nice guide, Warblade! GG!
