Ah that explains everything Beld... wish the Op would have made that more clear.

Ok I'm only level 10, so I guess I'll have to get some company for now... till at least 12 or 13?

Beld the Savage · Jan 15, 2007, 02:37 PM // 14:37

Only the mobs that u have to fight in the open are harder to kill.

If u manage to solo the first 3 mobs (2 at the first ruin, 1 in the middle who patrols at the shrine) then the rest is easy since u can hide behind the walls near the shrine and act like a

.
So apart from that u can follow the guide

So lvl 12 a 13 should be sufficient to solo it... u might die a couple of times though... but what the heck... u will die anyway with deatlvling

Ok, wierd thing happened last night. So, i was setting up the death level. Im doing this for the first time on my new computer. I get about 12 charr to the shrine, make sure theyre all set up good,turn off the monitor and go to bed. When i woke up a few minutes ago, i turned on my monitor and saw that guild wars wasnt even running. there was no error message or anything, it was just closed out. wt?

Beld the Savage · Jan 15, 2007, 04:01 PM // 16:01

Could it be that for some reason your pc rebooted??
or where ther other windows open or processes apart from gw still running?

Another thing i noticed during deathlvling is that over time the memory of the pc gets filled up. After around 8-9 hours the numbers indicate that half of my memory is full... I have no idea if this is bad for the memory (when it's used that much)

AND... i have no idea what happens when it's full

If the pc reboots in that case it could be related to amish's problem.

Hmm, thats probably it. Thanks!

Covah · Jan 15, 2007, 10:06 PM // 22:06

since its a new computer maybe you havent set your Power Options yet. So maybe after 40 min idle your computer reboots or w\e.

Well, took the weekend off from pre-sear. Spent Saturday out on the town with wife and friends eating good food, drinking good beer and taking in an NHL hockey game. All GW time was spent capping any and all elites since you could get double xp.

Grats Emox on lvl 18, woot! Still toiling at lvl 15, but got myself within 30% this afternoon. At 16 it will be all Char Dlvling.

Warblade, anxiously awaiting your Char guide so I can fine tune my Char pulling.

"How To Death Level Charr - The 30min Solo Setup Guide" is almost complete with instructions, pics and faq. Expect it under the Community Works forum in the next two days.

Lilanthe · Jan 16, 2007, 02:01 AM // 02:01

That's good news Holy

As for me, I am now 25% of my lvl 16. The levels difference between each charr groups is frustrating though. I hate it when a group of four charr stagnate at lvl 11.

lol but wow 250$ for a vamp bow on ebay. doesnt get any funnier than that.

All I can say is, using a vamp weapon is "Old School"....get 3 groups with 2 hunters in each group will do the trick......it will kill you in less than 3-4 seconds everytime. If you got -2 vamp health regen, 3-4 seconds is 6-8 health taken out of your total health is only a fraction. If anyone lured 6 hunters to the shrine....you know what I mean.....bottom line is you don't need one.

amish lifeguard · Jan 16, 2007, 03:20 AM // 03:20

damn hunters

meh i still continue to use it, no point in it goign to waste. As fast as they kill me i dont see a problem in having a -1 health regen in there.

True, but you could also trade it. I'd much rather be fully equiped with runes, or post-searing weapons. Even thought it'd probably be better to do that after you've death leveled

EDIT:
Forgot to post a picture of me as a level 16 before. Only complete one quest so far, not sure if I should do them now, or that I should go for higher level

I'll probably try out some Charr deathleveling, see how I can manage it with school etc. If I don't have much time to deathlevel, I'll probably just go for quests and stick with level 17

EDIT²:
Tried "deathleveling" Jaw Smokeskin, just to see how much times he'd have to kill me to level up, and wether all bosses would level up at the same time or not. Was hoping it'd be fast enough for me to reach level 17 this way, but it definitly wasn't

He had to kill me 10 times (if it doesn't seem like much, guess again, you need to run all the way to the altar every time), and the bosses level each on their own.

Oh well, +32 xp...

Always worth trying, but I guess I just should've asked... Oh well, I was bored anyway, seeing I don't have the time to deathlevel at the moment, and I didn't feel like farming.

Btw, anyone know where the most dyes drop? I'd say the dye drops are increased heavily when the enemy you're facing doesn't have much chance of dropping anything else (like collectable, salvagable or equipable items). I've been farming Spiders today, because I can 1-hit-kill these with a normal shot now, and they've already dropped 1 black dye and 2 white dyes for me, but I'm just asking

Maybe I should farm Grawl instead, seeing those are balled up, but I'm afraid the drop rate will be alot less.

And I'd like to ask another question. In emoxcore's guide I read that I should kill all Charr Shamans, but I think that seems like a bad idea. If I get them out of aggro, wouldn't they just walk back to their old spots, and split up? That way you can still kill them (I'm fairly sure I can kill 2 in the same groups as well, seeing I can 1-hit-kill the level 7 ones), and that's up to 500 extra experience per run and you'd also die a bit faster. - Seems worth an edit to me!

B§x¿44¶»1@$ · Jan 16, 2007, 09:49 PM // 21:49

I don't know about those Drop Rates Maxie... Spiders drop both Legs+Webs for stackables...

I've had good luck in Regent Valley, doing the spiders, then the skales, then the plants (seeds+oakhearts) behind the spiders, then doing the Ale runs, killing the spiders on the way.

Ariena Najea · Jan 16, 2007, 10:23 PM // 22:23

Where is the best place to be death leveling, I've been told moss spiders, but it seems to me and is reflected in your guys' posts that it's better across the wall with Charr.

Opinions?

amish lifeguard · Jan 17, 2007, 03:19 AM // 03:19

Charr by far. The only setback i can see is that it takes 30 min to set up. But, the end result is easily 6X or more than that of a spider.

And i farm dye outside of ranik with the skales

Well as i said before, there are times when I cant get alot fo charr to the shine, so i can only manage a weak 4-6 charr, making it reasonabout to use a vamp. But as far as trading it, it was giving to me by Darkside when he quit, so i dont think im going to give it away or trade it for anything. and about the runes, if i get my hands on some that would be great, salvages are allready taken care of

River · Jan 17, 2007, 08:18 AM // 08:18

With my hammer i can kill the Charr Shamans.
Need the most times two attacks to kill them.
But the where only level 16 till now, maybe i will have troubleS when the level higher. First always kill the lowest levels.

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