Great guide, thanks for this huge effort.

I'm working on this title at the moment and the time and dedication required is truly colossal. I now have great respect for anybody who has it (which seems to be relatively few).

I'll post my summarized review of what to do just so people needn't sift through these pages:

1) Do any quests you can find but don't take rewards.

2) Grind up to level 8 or 9 by killing anything and everything that grants XP.

3) Either pay someone 50-100g to open the gate to access The Northlands or party with someone to hunt Charr for XP. You may or may not be able to handle the bosses and nearby patrols so level up until you can. A Party of two could probably take them down.

4) Once you reach levels 10-12 you should be ready to solo the bosses. You will learn the luring techniques and monster behaviour quite quickly which allows you to exploit it.

5) At level 14 and onwards you will recieve no XP from ordinary Charr but you will earn XP from the bosses so is time efficient to run to the bosses and ignore the low levels. You may need to kill some Charr surrounding the boss shrine for the sake of ease and convenience.

6) Gridning from levels 15-16 will take approximately 85 runs because killing those 4 bosses will only grant you about 1.2% XP. It is very long and tedious although it is faster than death leveling so I'd recommend it.

7) At level 16 you must begin death levelling for more XP points. As stated in the OP you gain most XP in the shortest time from luring Charr moving patrols. Striders and Moss Spiders are much slower. It is possible to lure up to 25 Charr to the resurrection shrine. This link is golden: http://cenega.googlepages.com/charrdl

8) At lvl19 you can then accept the rewards from the multitude of quests you did and do quests you could not do before (i.e. quests that required the acceptance of a previous quest reward.) This should provide enough or nearly enough XP to push you up to lvl20. If not, death level to gain the remiander of the XP.

~~~~~~~~~~

Grinding Charr is not completely fruitless because the Charr Salvage Kits sell for around 5k and the Charr Bags sell for between 800-1,000g. Minor runes are also in high demand and the bosses drop lots of those so you can expect to have enough cash to buy a 15k armour when you eventually leave pre.

Sorry for reiterating lots of the OP. I just wanted to provide an abridged version - not hijack.

Moving charr patrols, but not running ones. They have to walk in order to get proper aggro.

here is what you do:
instead of letting the moa death lvl off of you ''test'' the secondary ranger for skills to get charm animal, go charm an animal and make sure it is also lvl 16 when you try this. Instead of haveing the moa kill you get it to kill your animal, you cannot afk for this as you have to keep ressing the pet yourself.

GL WITH THIS...i would recomend going for LDoA and survivor, but if you do i will bow in your honor

you dont get xp from pets ftl, nice try tho :/

novawhiz · Feb 16, 2008, 10:36 PM // 22:36

some dumb questions:

Do you get exp from choosing a secondary proffession?

And if so- is it worth it to choose the secondary proff for beter skills/dmg from pet?

Pleikki · Feb 23, 2008, 07:09 AM // 07:09

mm There was Way to get surv + Ldoa but not anymore.. Gaile confirmed that...

A long time ago you used to res at the shrine even if your partner was still alive. I don't know when this changed though.

N1ghtstalker · Mar 06, 2008, 10:16 AM // 10:16

i was thinking
how about death leveling with two ppl
the other one gets killed over and over
and when the pet is lvl 20 the other guy comes up and kills the pet
could be for survivor

Both would need to be dead for either to res at a shrine, and the only res in Pre is Res Signet.

Nope.

12 chars.

FreshFeesh · Mar 13, 2008, 06:59 PM // 18:59

Question for the masses -- inside the Catacombs just outside the Barradin Estate there are several Gargoyles standing very near the resurrection shrine. Wouldn't it make more sense to death-level a few of those instead of just one or maybe two Striders at a time in Lakeside County?

Sorry if this has been asked before, this is a long thread!

Edit: Bah, that's not a res shrine. I wonder how close you would spawn to the Gargoyles though ...

I won't read through all these posts cause i see a 51 so yea. However I just started this for the 2nd time(deleted my perma pre to remake it). If you do ur primary get ur skills then go over to lady althea and get the rogue bull to kill. That is easy way to get a good amount of exp at level one you get 168 kill bull zone abandon untill u get bored/stop getting exp

imnotyourmother · Jun 19, 2008, 01:55 PM // 13:55

WOW what a thread. I think that I will try and dl the birds cause I only need 1000 more xp for my lvl 17. I fyou say that you can do it in as little as 3 hours then kewl.

Yah there was 2 people who did it recently.. They used a monk tome and got hard res and used their secondary account to hard res them everytime from a safe distance.. It was confirmed by several pre-searing players..
But yet they will never be banned..
And yes the tomes were part of a guild hall glitch where players could travel from pre to the guild hall to obtain post items from the storage and then travel back.. (illegal and has been fixed**)

I have a question about death-leveling...

Once the Charr hit your level, how do you fend off a super-group of equal-leveled Charr?

Cronkk · Jun 23, 2008, 12:10 PM // 12:10

After being ressurected at the shrine you are invulnarable for a few seconds - enough to kill at least one Charr.

T1Cybernetic · Jun 23, 2008, 12:24 PM // 12:24

Also because they can not do any damage to you for a few seconds it enables you to run behind the shrine and hide near the wall and kill them from there (if you are a caster)

Smokestajdh · Jun 23, 2008, 04:18 PM // 16:18

i thinks a ranger would look cool with this title

but then again i think it will be hard for a ranger to get the title

. BUT I WILL TRY!

EDIT :

kk when i get home i thinks ima make a ranger called . Bowz Are Leet Or summin along them lines

sterbenx2 · Jun 30, 2008, 05:19 PM // 17:19

I have been lookin everywhere and can't find the answer for this.. so.. I've been trying out deathleveling on the moas outside Barradin Estate and the problem I'm finding is, only 1 moa will gain the exp from killing me. I've had up to 3 Moa and 1 Spider killing me but only 1 of them will lvl. .

Is this normal?
