Pre-Searing checklist

You are unable to return to Pre-Searing Ascalon after entering the Academy. It is recommended to gather all available skills before leaving. Some of these skills can only be bought at a trainer (for the price of 1 skill point) if they are not acquired in Pre-Searing.

It's advisable to get a Belt Pouch from either Brownlow or Humphreys, as they are more difficult to obtain after leaving Pre-Searing. You should also finish the Tithe for Ashford Abbey quest to get a skill point.

See Academy training quests and Academy skill quests for more information on where to acquire these skills.

It isn't a bad idea to perform the secondary skill quests for all professions, soley for the easy xp. You don't have to accept the secondary profession to get the xp.

All Professions

 * Resurrection Signet


 * Belt Pouch. The cost 50g in Post, and so it is much cheaper to get them from a collector in Pre.


 * 50g to buy a storage account with the Xunlai Agents once you move to post searing.
