Revision as of 22:41, 18 September 2011
Overview
Death From Below is a new 'underground trial' available to both Heroes and Villains. It can be run at any level, and is therefore often used by new players. This trial provides exceptional rewards for new characters, including experience point bonuses and Single Origin Enhancements making it an excellent and popular tool for players looking to level new characters quickly.
This trial in some ways replaces the Sewer Network, which was similar but less structured. The Sewer Network is still available for players who wish to adventure there.
Requirements
4-8 players, player levels 1-6.
Missions
Players can queue individually or in groups for Death from Below via the Team-Up Teleporter in the LFG Window, a selection on the Chat Window. When enough players are queued, they will be teleported to the beginning of the trial, which begins with defeating Hellions.
At the beginning of each section, a Longbow Hazard Trainer is present to provide training to any heroes or villains requiring it. It is very common for a low level character to gain several levels from one run of Death from Below.
