/)eathKiller,

Yes, I am in pre-searing with my first, and only, character (the Ranger/Necro).

I would love some online partying help, if that is what you are talking about; but it will have to be on a catch-as-catch-can basis for the next few days to weeks: Although I am salivating to get into the game, I have some work and family responsibilities that will make my access to GW on an "as available" basis, only. The next two weeks look pretty full.

If I whisper you while we are both in-game, will you hear me, no matter where you are?

I have several questions that maybe you can help with, though:

1.) Do I have to wait until Post-Sear to join a Guild? (I aspire to join the IW guild when the time comes...)

2.) What are all these artifacts that I keep coming across that supposedly increase energy but don't do anything for me? For instance, Wisp (my Ranger/Necro) has a necklace, old gloves, and several other things that typically claim to increase energy by +3; but I can't find any way to get her to wear the items; and they do not have an impact on her energy while in inventory: Her max energy is solidly stuck at 25. What good are these items, other than turning in for gold?

3.) How far do I progress before better armor becomes available for my Ranger? Should I be collecting crafting materials? I have been to the weaponsmith. What else should I be doing to maximize my chances of getting the best armor and weapon upgrades? Or is this not important in Pre-Searing?

4.) What does, for instance, a "Grawl longspear salvage kit" do? Is it only good for upgrading longspears, or is there something I can do with it that might theoretically be used to improve my bow or armor?

Thanks!
