Urgoz's Warren and The Deep

[Kailianna Firesoul]

So, I've been wanting to do more runs of Urgoz and The Deep for a while. These are the twelve person Elite Missions in Factions. They can be quite fun and a bit challenging, but the hard part can be getting in in the first place.

In order to access these missions, you must first get to the point of Factions where you can go to Cavalon and House zu Heltzer. Then, there are two ways to get in.

1) If you have been to the misison area before with that character, you can have someone else in the alliance who is currently there hit "enter guildhall," then join their party in the guildhall, and have them "leave guildhall" to return to the mission area with you in tow.

2) If you have not yet been to the mission area, or no one from the alliance is currently in the mission area, you will have to go to House zu Heltzer or Cavalon and "spam" the channel asking for a ferry.

So, if you are interested in doing Urgoz's Warren or The Deep with me at some point, please reply here and we'll work something out. If you haven't been to the mission area yet, I strongly recommend going and trying to find a ferry sooner rather than later.

I currently have a placeholder character sitting in Urgoz's Warren, and she can take in anyone who has been there before when we're ready to go. If people would perfer to do The Deep (I perfer Urgoz's), I can go sit a character there instead.

I've "been to" both areas, but have only really done The Deep. I had a lot there, though I'd be willing to do Urgoz too if it's not restricted to B/P teams. (like I hear it often is)

[Kailianna Firesoul]

I've definitely gone through Urgoz with a non-B/P alliance team and beat the mission with relative ease. Relative, as in, we only almost wiped once or twice <_< It was a lot of fun though, especially the fight at the end.

I would like to go to both / either of these areas.

I have never actually done either on these elite missions. When Factions first came out I was very interested to get into these areas. However, after several failed attempts at getting a *ferry* to the actual location by sitting in town and spamming "need a ferry", I just gave up. It's a bit demeaning, if you ask me . The poor way in which we (on US servers) have access to the Realms of the gods and the way we have to beg for access to these elite missions has always annoyed me.
/rant.....


***A question on sitting a character in these areas.

Say I sit my rarely used Ele in the mission so that I can then take a group from the guild hall, but I want my Ranger (my Main character) to actually go on the mission? Once my Ele takes the group to the mission can the group go back to the hall and allow me to change my character to a Ranger , which I would prefer to play in the elite mission? Or, does the ability to ferry a group from the GH only work once, or require that the original ferry character stay in the group?


If it's the case that I can switch, I would be more than happy to sit a character in one (or possibly both) of the missions as well to further enable us to get in when we choose.


****Edit

Just to confirm: My Ranger has visited both the Deep and Urgoz.
In addition my ele is holding a spot in Urgoz, if we need it.

Yes, you can do that. It's what I'm doing with my rarely-played assassin, who is sitting in Urgoz.

By the way, if you are sitting a character somewhere, after you get the ferry in and leave the ferry group, enter the guildhall and THEN log out. Otherwise, you may end up back in House/Cavalon when you log back in. I've had that happen to me =\ Dunno why it did that...

I'm in the same boat as Zalis, been to both (I think I visited both areas with each of my chars during the last "free" weekend) but only done the Deep and had fun on that trip. I would like the take a look at Urgoz at some point so put me down for one or the other. ;D

[Dela Darklodina]

Hey. I've done The Deep once with a Pug (didn't finish, got wiped about halfway through) and just popped into Urzog once, so I think Im eligable to go on my ele.

So, I'm in if we can get organized.

[Grey]

My monk, ele and ranger have visited both areas during the free weekend, but I never actually played in them. I would love to do any one of those with a Scouts group!

[Khorrax]

I have my warrior available for both and I'll try to get my mesmer there as soon as possible. So count me in.

I think Vol is planning a trip to the Deep for this Saturday sometime. I'll join if I can!
