Correcting myself from page three the "you won't be able to solo them with your massive DPS..." I was being sarcastic, saying that you won't be able to solo level 20 charr with your massive damage per second as a level 15 or what ever.
But anyway, I'm posting a new topic, trying to basically condense and clean up everything from this one, and I'll try to update it more frequently than Ju is.

Well the God, not meaning to be critical, but Ju REALLLY needs to clean up the ffirst post, way to many questions being repeated.
And can someone other than me post confirming that grinding the level 3s till 8 is faster than 9 hours of Charr at the gates...
eidt- outside barradins estate, it appears only one enemy gets death leveled at time... they dont go up evenly in level.

Agreed. It's just a bit of egotism.
Wish I hadn't deleted my ranger back when they stopped death levelling.

I don't know, it's probably a combination. It's been under 2 hours of play (total) to get to level 7 though using Charr at the gates. Getting to level 8 will be about 50 minutes though this way, it's 20 runs at about 2.5 minutes a run. I'll be level 8 in just under 3 hours of play I figure, so I don't know that you could come close with the other method. So it's not 9 hours to get to level 8, it's about 3 hours.

Well. For me it took 4 hours to get to level 8 with the "Foibles Fair to Catacombs" tactics. Killing everything on the way, then enter catacombs and go back to have mobs respawn. But it might be faster since i spend some minutes after 2-3 runs for selling stuff.

You should just enjoy the early levels! It's going to be the only time you will ever level so fast. From about lvl 7-12 or so, exploring and having some fun will help you level so much faster (well, relatively). Also, when you get bored, go into Ascalon City and talk with some other people trying to seek your goal. And for people who wants to use the fastest way to level, just use one, don't worry if it is a bit slower. Once you get to 14-20, the past will feel insignificant. So just enjoy and explore the presearing while leveling. You might even find a secret area/monster!

Hello all, nice thread
I've had a lvl 16 ranger in pre for about 1 1/2 year now, though not trying to go over lvl 16 at this time.

|
I know for sure that vamp weapons (with often crappy stats i might add) used to drop in pre, though I don't know wether anet removed vamp drops in pre at factions release or at any other time. Wish Ii hadn't salvaged my vamp weapons after anet removed death levelling ;/.
best you could hope for is that they do still drop and if they do, your best bet would be the northlands. Either that or buy one from someone. (might be costly though, but i you must have it quickly, expect to have to pay +++$$ for it)

Then when I finally get someone to open it they're like hey now that you paid me mind if I leach exp? (even if I say no they still say so I'm forced to leave if I want the run to be worthwhile).
Not only is getting a gate openner the hardest part, its also the longest. I swear, I can clear the char faster than I can get someone to simply open gate, take gold from trade and leave the game...
btw I tried offering more gold and it netted same results so figured might as well just stick to 25g...
|
Then I have 1 tip for you how to avoid it...have a lvl 16 team up with you, they can't leach xp from you in the northlands. also they'll usually won't bother messing up your attempt anyway as they've been through that grind themselves.
I know theres some lvl 16's and up around that won't try to mess up your attempt.
ofcourse better is to have a friend around to help open the ate etc
(ofcourse giving 50g wouldn't hurt...25g is a lil tiny amount dont you think )

Amen to that
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against death levelling per se or anyone involved in this, but a more normal way of getting a title would be warm welcomed by me.
I wouldn't want the title removed however...to each their thing, even if it's not my thing.
though I could to some extend say the same about the carthographer titles...it's very hard to obtain those in any normal way not involving screen capping+photoshopping...
I don't know how fast or slow dual-farming the northlands is for lower levels but it is faster, you can get nice drops in the process and you can reenter the northlands for a second farm and keep your 8% morale boost. Also it might be nice for a change, even though it might actually last longer to gain xp.
Not everyone can or wants to play like a robot hours on end, trying to level to 16 :P
Also I would like to add another tip for new pre's...there is a crafter in ascalon city (aka 'AC') with a 10-14 sword for 100g and 5 ingots. the sword has added bonus vs charr.
For rangers it might be a better idea to get a bow with stats over 7-10dmg from the northlands..either by drop or by trade.
There are some ok caster weapons with for example a small energy bonus (but crappy damage, but thats not as important for a caster anyway)
There is a quest reward shield with extra armor vs charr, even though you don't want to finish the quest yourself you might be able to obtain the shield from some other player.
As for the vamp weapons...lets just hope those still drop :P
Well...thats about all I can think off right now.
good luck to the ones attempting this title!!

Though I must say I agree, it needs to be said that they reintroduced monsters gaining experience for the purpose of gaining this title. Whether they think its abusive to sit on a res pad and death level is their opinion, but its clearly not cheating the system, it's meerly a clever means that was discovered, similar to the 55 monk I suppose.

I had thought only one enemy gains levels when you death level.
