UW and FoW

For those who don't know what that is, UW = UnderWorld and FoW = Fissure of Woe. They are two places accesible from The Temple of Ages city. You need to pay 1 platinum in order to go to either one of these places. One of the main reasons why these places are so popular is because of Fissure Armor, which is ridiculously expensive but looks uber cool. :D In order to make Fissure Armor you need rare crafting materials that only drop in UW and FoW, those being Globs of Ectoplasm and Obsidian Shards, Ecto only dropping in UW and Shards only dropping in FoW.

If there is interest, we can get a party going to either of these places, there are a lot of quests to do there as well, 10,000XP quests and higher. The enemies are all above level 20, usually around level 24 or so.

I myself am very familiar with the UW as I have gone there solo in the past, and more recently have been doing 2-man runs. It can be an extremely profitable run as currently Ecto sells for about 10k each, trader buys it for 9k. Obviously keeping the party size to 2 people is preferred since more would cut into the individual profits. Also there are "limitations" as to who can actually perform well in a 2-man run to the UW.

2 Monks with the right skill bars is probably the best way to go. 1 Monk and 1 Elementalist is also very good. These are the only combinations I have personally tried out as far as 2-man runs go. There are other ways but they require more people in the party, ie Ranger trapper group.

When dealing with going to FoW, a more traditional party of 8 works quite well. So anybody who wants to go could go farm FoW, but I don't have that much experience doing Fow so perhaps someone else who has experience there can shed some light on FoW.

So hopefully there is some interest in SoE for doing both UW and FoW. For a while now I've been going with Sydney Ablaze to UW and we could use a new face in the mix. ;) Post in this thread if you are interested and we can work something out.
 
I have only seen this once, but I did see it with my own eyes.......an ecto dropping in the Fissure. It was on the other side of the bridge where the wailing lord was.

I have a lot of experience in both places. Lately most of my Underworld experience has been in 4 man trapper teams killing smites. I probably get as much enjoyment out of these trap teams than most anything in the game. My Monk has a Ranger secondary and I got the UW spider pet with him a long time ago.

I am up for a traditional 8 man team to the Fissure (my favorite makeup here is 2 warriors, 3 eles, 1 Necro, and 2 Monks).

I am also up for anything in the UW where I can use my Monk in healer mode. I have no desire to do the invinci-Monk build and have no desire to be a smiting Monk either.

I hadn't been to the Fissure since pre-Sorrows Furnace days. This changed last week and I went twice. One difference I noticed was the gold drops. My first group didn't make it very far and I had already gotten two golds. I used to never get golds in the Fissure.

All 4 of my characters are ascended (a game requirement for entry into either place) so just let me know when.
 
I've actually cleared the Fissure, a ridiculously long adventure...I don't really suggest doing that if you think you have a life...But I can help in the FoW quite a bit. I've only been to the UW once so I have zip knowledge about that...
 
hey guys! i would love too!.....but there is a little problem...yep, ive not ascended yet and am not sure how,really. However i have a lvl 15 warrior/monk almost 16...prolly 1k exp away from 16. So im really looking foward to your responce. I would also like to join up with another guild...considering the on im in now is going WAY
DOWN
HILL!
Thx! -Malaki
 
TWINNY!!!!!!!!!! IM ON THE FORUMS NOW
i know it took me forever but now im on
and i would LOVE to clear UW or FoE whenever my real life doesnt calls.
also my brother, Jason The Argonaut, needs help ascending he is in the dessert* but he cant beat the mission and he is getting VERY frustrated. (i cant really blame him cuz i hated the desserts* too) so if anyone can help him he would appreciate it.
well thats all for now and i hope to be able to play with you all in guildwars soon
CYA.
 
I would be interested in doing some farming runs in the FOW or UW. I have a nuker and a trapper that have experience down there. Of course, it would have to fall into one of my two gaming windows of the week, Tuesday evening or Friday night.
 
I wouldn't mind doing the FoW, as i've yet to actually go in there.

Rubber Ducky, have Jason post in here asking for help, and we can set upa time for that.
 
I wouldn't recommend posting here for help, because as you can see from this thread I posted last week, next to no one responded, and 1 of the 2 told me he wouldn't help. This doesn't just occur on the forums, I've asked NUMEROUS times for help on this bonus in the guild chat box in-game, all I've gotten is ignored. I've been with ToJ now for like 5 years and I'll probably always be in it. It's just that this situation has left a bad taste in my mouth of SoE. Kidan, I really appreciate your kindness to help me and thank you for offering.
