Huge difference, yes. "The Underworld" in TotPK is just the name of the first level of many. It is called this because the first map of Heroes Ascent is also called The Underworld, and it's the same map. You progress through the different maps til you end up in the Hall of Heroes map where the objective is to kill the final bosses. ( http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Tomb_...Primeval_Kings )

The two places are completely different. The actual Underworld via ToA (and Zin Ku and Chantry) is just one big open place with lots of subquests. ( http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/The_Underworld )

That should help ya shout if you have other questions.

there are ecto drops in ToPK as well, but its quite minor.
so the main farming for ectos happens in UW in ToA.
for completing all the quests in UW, theres a huge chest with lots of stuff worth at least 10k
for completing ToPK (ie killing everything inside - no quest, mission or whatever) - there are green drops from end mobs, imo not worth it

Topk i believe was the original UW then later came the Uw we know now.
Topk was free entry and possibly multi level ( never been there yet so may be wrong ) where Uw now is classed as an Elite area where foes are a lot harder etc tho some are also in Topk - also Topk is only accessed via prophs where Uw has entry points in all 3 campaigns and can be regarded as a Core Zone.

Best way to tell diff is Topk is always known as Topk now and Uw will refer to Uw whether in cantha or nightfall.

There are no missions/quests in TotPK. You just need to clear all of the mobs on each level to get to the next level (there are 4 levels). At the end there are 3 bosses (The Darknesses) that can drop greens.
TotPK is a fun place to do for the challenge (especially with H&H), and some of the greens can be useful, but due to the low drop rate on ecto and the relative worthlessness of the greens (gold-wise), it's not a great place to "farm" compared to others.

ohh i understand them now, thank u all for ur answers
oh and one more question about the attribute points, um on the guild wars wiki, it says that there are 2 attr quests for each campaignroph,factions,nf, but could a char from another campaign do all of these quests? eg) a proph char doing all 6 attr quests(gives 90 attr points in total) lol is that possible?

No. I think you can do the quests, but you can't have more than 200 attribute points. Maybe, if you were below 200 points when you did them, you could get the points from all the quests, but your attribute total wouldn't go over 200 anyway.

I'm afraid it doesn't work that way

You can only pick up the attribute quests for the place where your character comes from. For example, one of the attribute quests in prophecies is in the desert. If you take a canthan character to that NPC That gives that quest to prophs chars, he will have nothing for you.

You can of course, tag along with a friend / other player who is doing that quest and help them out, but you wont get a reward for doing it. You'll get 170 attribute points total from leveling up, and then the two lots of 15 points each from the 2 attribute quests from your home campaign.
