Introduction
Even though you can find better cash and prizes by going POSTal, there are three good reasons for newbies to farm in PRE:
 * 1) All loot is yours (after POSTage, it will be a while before you go nekkid);
 * 2) Less is more: holiday and dye drops are frequent, because there is so little to drop;
 * 3) Practice: PRE is the safest place in Guild Wars to practice (no Death Penalty, dumber monsters, and few skills).
