Underworld and Fissure?

I've heard of them countless times, but I have never been able to find out how to get down there. Which I find sad because I have a lvl20 W/Mo with over 80hrs clocked...(thats a lot for me). So my question is, how do you get down there???

Depending on what country you live in, when your country has the favor of the Gods - go to Temple of Ages. There are two fountains, one with Balthazars Spirit(Fissure) and the other with Grenth(Underworld). Buy talking to either and paying 1 platinum, you & your party will be zoned to that area.
**Warning** It takes high level builds and team coordination to successfully engage the enemies down there and don't talk to Ghosts until the appropriate time.
I run these areas most ever night and cleared most of the Fissure (would be all but just discovered the Hydras) and most of the UW (would be all but just discovered the Debt Collectors).
It's highly adviseable for UW to have a trapper or two in your party, helps keep mobs slowed and in place for AOE dmg.

Anyone care to add to that?

yes. i have one question.... are there any requirements to speek to them to get to UW? i guess my question is what requirements are there to pay the 1000 gold other then the gods being in your favor?

Volarian... I just want to say thank you for your details and comments. To many people just say go there and pay a plat. And are done with that. Personally I have only done the underworld 4 times and have always been the Trap Ranger. When I am the only one I have noticed that it has always been rather hard. You always need at least 2 to be able to effectively wall and control the mobs.

All you have to do is have the favor and someone in the party has to pay... thats it.

do you have to pay each time?

yeep.. but the 1000 gold is split between your party so you dont have to pay 1000gold just your whole party does

too bad they ruined the game..I only have 50g

Salatious - the plat + the favor is all that's necessary (favor is granted by Hall of Heros etc.)

Fye - My group build for successful(easy) UW run: 2 Rangers(traps), 3 Wars, 2 Eles, 2 Monks. I know this = 9 players and you can only take 8, so one of the Rangers is a secondary class.
Formula - Rangers lay traps in a line, Wars position behind traps, Monks Buff Wars, Ranger pulls mob to trap, Eles AOE once traps activate, all engage, Monks stay back to heal when needed.
Rinse/Repeat - fairly simply to clean house in the UW with a good team who plays together and doesn't agro unnecessarily.

the more i hear about rangers the more im interested in becoming one.. they have some interesting skills that apply with good stratagies

I hope you are just trying to be funny.

By the time you have ascended, 125 gold per person to enter the UW or FoW is very minimal, assuming you last more than 10 minutes.

If you haven't ascended, you shouldn't be doing temple of the ages yet.

yes I was kidding...
