You're probably trying to pull the wrong Charr.

Stationary Charr and RUNNING Charr can't be pulled effectively.
You need to find a WALKING Charr patrol... and pull those. They'll run at you when you aggro them, but when they break aggro they'll go back into patrol mode eventually and start walking, ready to be pulled again.

Most of the ones you want are around the searing shrine.

The walking charr patrol "reset" their location after they have broken aggro and started walking back.

So pull them until they turn back, wait for a second, they stop, pull again etc.

Admittedly.... sometimes you'll get one separated from the group, casting things at you for a while before going back to join the others.... and sometimes if you try to re-aggro it, rather than running toward you it just runs away...

I hate it when that happens.
It is usually the Ashen Claws....

And on a related note, maybe I should start using a Flatbow to lure rather than a Longbow.... I'm not sure which is better to be honest. I stick with an unconditional Ascalon Longbow at present.

Dreikki · Oct 04, 2007, 05:07 PM // 17:07

Usually it's a hunter or an ashen claw.

But it's rather rare that it runs away instead of walking. This happens when the patrol has aggroed something, for instance, grawl or warthog. This also happens if the seperated one is too far away from the others.

I usually try to keep them stacked before pulling them, and let the seperated one hit me until all the others are in my aggro bubble to prevent this running thingy.

I don't run into it too often... and I have quite the habit of separating out the Charr group. If I can pull the entire group by the front member alone then it helps reduce the amount of damage I receive from them overall while simply jogging from A to B.... though sometimes it does result in the one Charr going from a walk to a run in the wrong direction the moment I shoot at them.

It is at worst a minor inconvenience.... and nothing like as annoying as when all the 4-charr groups have 2 shamans each (and the 3-groups each have 1).... When it comes to that I tend to just kill the bosses and quit to restart.
O'course then there was the opposite matter of the time when I had so many Hunters (and no Shamans at all) that I was having difficulty pulling them without them killing me.... but when I finally got it set up, it was absolutely perfect.

Well, I made the step. Did all secondary proffession quests to not waste that 1250k exp. And finally made me an N/Ele.
I still have to get a little used to it. Maybe do some build adjustments for survivability but with firestorm charrs go down a lot faster

I also got lvl14

my necro with lvl 17 pet moa (unaccepted secondary) at lvl 13 was soloing charr at 15-17 mins, now at lvl 14 she does it in 10-14 mins

im debating what to do with my secnodary in the future.

Woot got my title....like 2 months ago just felt like posting
tips to all newcomers if you dont have a mes make one

Dreikki · Oct 09, 2007, 05:13 PM // 17:13

thats nothing, a skilled warrior can complete the run in 2-3 minutes
same with ele
my necro (2nd slowest char at boss runs, aside from monk) does it in 8-10 minutes at lvl 14
my mesmer does it in give or take at about 7 minutes, but is only lvl 15, next level it will have att points in firestorm, which should cut off a minute or 2

DREIKKI YOUR ALMOST THERE!

also, i saw the first is leet char with ldoa about a week ago, awarded her 10k pre, ill have a special lil pic up for her when i next gain access to it.

Dreikki · Oct 16, 2007, 12:24 PM // 12:24

Level 19 and 45% and still a load of quests to do :O

edit: Ok, level 19 and 80% now with two quests left.

But I'd just like to inform you that this title hates me. Seriously. With 20% left I can't manage to get those.

During my whole deathleveling period from level 15 to level 19 I had about 10 disconnects and 2 crashes.

Now in 6 nights I've had 2 disconnects, one crash, one night my internet didn't work at all and one night a new build of GW got avaible just after I had finished my charr pull at 2am.

Gf.

This title is based on a exploit, it should not exist at all.

ReiNaruto · Oct 25, 2007, 03:48 PM // 15:48

Death-leveling is an exploit? Awesome.

Dreikki · Oct 25, 2007, 10:21 PM // 22:21

Tender Wolf · Nov 04, 2007, 12:48 AM // 00:48

Ugh, I want this title but I hate the Charr. They love to kill me. No matter what I do I get killed. And I accidentally accepted the Charr at the Gate quest. I'm lvl 9 at the moment. Anyone got any advice for me? Or can someone please help me? PM me if you'd like. Thanks so much!!!

P.S. I also have the bonus items so I have a max weapon, along with all the collector armor and lots of quests to turn in (that I haven't yet, including secondary profession).

I've ALWAYS opposed charr at the gates. I never did CatG personally, I farmed Level 3's outside Foibles. But really, you've come this far, it won't kill you. Most people actually start going over the wall with a partner about your level, if not earlier.

But yeah, take a partner, probably a monk. And my advice, go talk to Nente for a pet if you haven't yet, and then spend the night death leveling a moa up to level 14. It's not much, but it'll do.

It was never an exploit. It was meerly a glitch in the code that allowed people to get level 20 very early on. They since removed it, but they added death leveling back into the game. I personally asked Gaile when she was online about a year ago, and they said they re-added the monsters-gaining-experience for the purpose of getting this title. Please think before you comment. If it really was an exploit, it would have been shut down, seeing as all the notoriety this title gets.

Greg is Leet here... Level 11 Mo/x

Michael57 · Nov 05, 2007, 06:11 PM // 18:11

As this title is in the game, it is an exploit that is officially sanctioned to use by players. In the end it is some awesome and time cosuming activity to get this title. A real exploit would help in getting something faster and in an illegal way. This one is intended to be used by us.

I'll try to get "Freya Flax Is Leet" to receive that title.

I've just one question. The guides I read, said that you should take only the first quest. The last comments on this thread tell me that you have tried some other quests as well. How is this done? You took only the quest and did them without claiming the reward?

My Lady is going to be a hammer warrior and she shall get a secondary ranger. My first trip solo behind the wall ended in desaster, but she stands at level 10 + 20% currently. Maybe such a run is to early now and maybe the weapon is not fast enough too. I'm using the "/bonus" weapon set.

Ugoff The Unholy · Nov 06, 2007, 04:08 AM // 04:08

Any profession tips?

I want either a Necro or Warrior. I just don't want a prof I don't like since this will probably become my main char/title account assuming I obtain it.

Keep in mind I have the /bonus weapons available.

with bonus warrior does well
go w/r and use the goty bow, basically use your warrior as a ranger, but with good armor.

necros are also fun, currently my main pre char. i just enjoy them plain and simple, i have a non goty staff which i like more then the goty one
