I considered selling mine, since they're now going for upwards of 600g. But yeah, I think it was pretty obvious we'd need them again, especially since the quest loads you up with them

I hope the remaining quests don't get too hard - I really enjoyed the ease with which I completed this with ten different chatacters

Once I figured out exactly where to go on this one (the pings aren't very helpful), it was pretty easy.

You bring up a good point though you do not focus on it. In Prophecies, there are two spots to enter the Underworld from. The current, or the new, Underworld could be put to Prophecies-only. Personally, I hope it is the old Underworld (make it even harder got UWSC). I highly doubt that the Hall of Judgement will be open for us by using the Lonar's Pass temple (as in honesty, it is mostly just the ramp seen before the Hall of Judgement, then a bunch of rocks).

I wonder if the Temple of Balthazar in the Falls could be used for a new (or moving the old) FoW instance.

Though the issue comes with the Core idea.

Well, whatever will be done, is technically already done.

I hope for some difficulty, but as long as there is so much good lore, I'm fine.

I'm betting the underworld is going to be filled with emissaries of dhuum from now on.

Dhuum will be unleashed, then Mad King will try stop him but UWSC made dhuum very powerfull and dhuum hurts mad king badly so he cant do anything, Then Grenth comes and you team up with him, You now must face Dhuum, EPIC SCENE here.
Dhuum starts blablabla about being stuck and something but then he Unleashes all of his power and Destroys Grenth and your like w00t? and then you go and take Grenths power and have to face Dhuum with it.
Difficulty: Impossible.
Reward 10k ectoes and Mini Dhuum.

So wow hard quest is hard? Degen out in bone pits every time, at least give a small ench to counter degen effects or something.

yeah and when it says go right and all you see are walls and no paths then what? green arrow isnt always helpful when you dont know your way around.

much harder.....last time I was in the underworld.....the 55 monk was the thing---there were no sins/rits etc......dont remember where they are, and yeah pathing is bad to say the least ..........dont think I will get this one done on any of my characters so I really hope the final 'new thing' for the last quest aint all that great if this is just the 2nd quest and I cant even do it.

oh well...back to watching tv I guess

Degened out in the Pits aswell,oh what id do for Mending.
I guess patrol timing is important to avoid hexes but after trotting through the Pools i dont really feel like going in again.

Guess ill wait for Konigs synopsis of the quest/lore behind it.

I died in the pits, but I knew what I did wrong, so I'll go back in later and try again

It would be logical to get pits out of the way first if people are looking to do this with minimal wasted time, IMO.

It does help if you know your way around the UW, but if you don't, don't panic! Just use this as an excuse to see the sights and keep skill 3 + 4 to hand

I had 7/7 reapers done, then rubber banded on two aatxes I had KD'd whilst on the way to King and was wiped by a patrol of graspings before I realised it... so frustrated. I won't put myself through all that again, let alone across multiple chars.

It's too much of the same to make it interesting. Not every player wants to be a runner.

Just a quick question, I tried this new quest once, degened in Pitts don't have time again before work... is it possible to bump your hp as high as possible through weps/armor runes to give you a little extra or when you go in as a candy guy is your hp arbitrarily set to a max?

Your HP/energy is set for you, you can't change it.

WOW, that quest was *******HARD*******, bone pits ESPECIALLY..

But it's doable (just), and again it looks like the lore is blaming UWSC for making this all Nintendo Hard.

Died in the bone pits. Not sure if I'll try again, let alone on every character.

Did the quest, took about 30 mins. You get speed boosts from cupcakes and rock candies, so it might make the quest a bit easier.

you can use candy and cupcakes for constant speed if you really want to though - kinda a waste but you can,

Edit: Drat late posting by 1 min

Oh and one of my chars who did not do yesterday's quest was still offered the one from yesterday so, yes, I think you have to follow the chain.
