Death leveling is the process of letting a monster level up by repeatedly killing you several hundred times. Once it is high enough you can kill it for experience, at which point the process starts over again.

Contents

[edit] Why?

Death leveling is currently the only way of reaching level 20 in Pre-Searing Ascalon to get the title Legendary Defender of Ascalon. This is because the highest level enemies in Pre-Searing are the level 10 charr bosses and killing them will give no experience points once a character reaches level 16. Death leveling can also be used to raise a dire pet or simply to raise the level of a pet before charming it.

[edit] Where?

Common places to death level are Strider outside Ashford Abbey or The Barradin Estate or the moss spider outside of The Barradin Estate. Some more experienced players also use charr north of the wall. Charr are however hard to lure, and harder to kill, the bonus being that they level in groups and kill faster.

If the player repeatedly respawns looking for a choice spawn, it is possible to lure as many as 3 striders to the shrine in Ashford, and as many as 6 Striders and Moss Spiders outside the Baradin Estate. This may take as many as 10 to 15 spawn attempts, and is not guaranteed.

Also, in Wizard's Folly, you can set up a ice elemental to death lvl. To do this run past the bears to the north and follow the river just east of the bears. Follow the river till you find the large aloe seeds: let them kill you. When you pop up at the shine the ice elemental should be there but no monk. The monk is dead but if you watch them fight the monk wins each time.

[edit] Strider, Moss Spider

[edit] Pros

  • Simple to set up
  • Can speed up the process by finding a good spawn that has multiple creatures to lure

[edit] Cons

  • Untamed animals have very low DPS, especially at low levels, and kills are very slow
  • Starts at level 1 (Strider) or level 2 (Moss Spider)
  • Finding a good spawn can be time consuming
  • Typically only one monster can level at a time

[edit] Charr

[edit] Pros

  • Starts at level 8
  • Levels as a group of 3 or 4
  • High DPS resulting in faster kills

[edit] Cons

  • Requires someone else to open gate for you
  • The set up process is more complicated
  • Charr Shamans have to be killed first, thus group containing 2 or less non-monks are not desirable
  • At least two Charr patrols must be lured in order to overpower the Academy Monk

[edit] How?

Basically, lure the enemy to the nearby resurrection shrine, take off all armor (including shield and weapon which have an armor mod) make sure the creature does not run away once you are dead (if they do you may need to aggro a closer enemy or re-enter the area and hope for a better spawn.) It is only possible to lure walking charr patrols to the shrine. Stationary or running patrols don't follow you and return to their original location.

[edit] In-depth analysis

[edit] How to read this table

  • Exp to next level: the amount of experience required for the monster to advance from its current level to its next level
  • Exp gained by monster per player death: The amount of experience the monster of a particular level will get when it kills you.
  • Player deaths to next level: Number of times the monster must kill the player to advance from its current level to the next level.
  • Total deaths: Total number of times the monster killed the player since level 1 or level 8 to attain this level.
  • Min/max exp earned per death: The overall efficiency indicating how much experience you earn every time you die on average when you kill the monster of a particular level. The maximum (best case) represents the efficiency when you kill the monster when it just leveled, and the minimum (worst case) represents the efficiency when you kill the monster when it is just about to get to the next level.
  • For Charr groups, the number of deaths to level up and the total number of deaths to reach a particular level, are based on a 1-monster groups. For Groups with multiple Charrs, multiply these numbers by the number of members in that group
    • e.g. a level 18 character wants to death leveling a three-Charr group to level 19. The tables indicate that for a single Charr, it would take 320 total deaths to reach level 19, and 61 deaths to advance from level 18 to 19. For a 3 Charr group, the numbers will be 960 and 183 respectively.
