Tombs vs. Temple of the Ages
Awhile ago I noticed that I could get into the UW for free with my warrior. I'm thinking of ascending my (Canthan) 55 monk in Tyria to get to the tombs, but is it 55able?

if you means the tomb at "the tomb of the primeval kings" or some such, well sorry to pop your bubble, but this area was designed to avoid 55ers, if monsters there have a skill called "finger of chaos" that have different effects on different classes, for monks, it removes enchants, so no, its not 55 able.

Definitely some confusion here.
Tomb of the Primeval Kings is a place that has unique access to a map that has some of the characteristics of the Underworld. There is no entry fee to this area. This area is NOT soloable by any character that I'm aware of, especially a 55 monk. You can access this area at any time (i.e. your server's country does not need favor to access it). Underworld is a completely different place accessible only through the Temple of Ages. You have to pay a 1K entry fee, and the area is soloable by a number of characters (one of which is a 55HP character - see various build forums for details). Your server's country must have favor for you to access this area. Fissure of Woe is also accessible via the Temple of Ages for a 1K fee. This area is soloable by a number of characters (and possibly a 55HP character - a bit uncertain about this). You can access this area at any time (i.e. your server's country does not need favor to access it). |

Ok, thanks for the info, althogh last time I checked, the loading screen did say "Underworld".
So does anyone know how I can get the hang of soloing or 2-manning the UW without paying so much? I'm an experienced 55er but I've never soloed or 2-manned the UW so would it be significantly different? |

#2 - when you first enter the "Tombs" it does say "Underworld" and it is a division of the UW, but in no part a relation to the one you access in ToA. Both areas do have the capability of dropping Ectos though. |

Anyway, when I started doing dual runs in UW, this thread helped me the most: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s....php?t=3002133 |

UW is also accessable from the statue in Lornar's Pass. You can take parties of mixed territories in providing the group has a majority of members from the favored territory.

Farming everywhere else with 55 was easy, but UW was much more unforgiving when I first tried it |
