Underworld / Fissure of Woe - Guild Wars Forums

Willie Lumpkin · May 23, 2011, 05:41 PM // 17:41

I need to do UW and FOW for my Hall of Monuments. Problem is, I can only ever find speed clear groups, and how can I get the required experience if groups only accept experienced players? I've played 1,700 hours on my Elementalist and I have played through UW as T1 (wastes) build for a speed clear group, but I just can't get into any groups because I've never cleared it and have no ghastly stones.

Probably my best option is to look for a guild. I'm a guild leader of a tiny tiny guild where I'm really the only active member and I'm really stubborn so I don't want to leave my guild, but I might have to.

Any other suggestions? Anyone recruiting, or clearing UW/FoW?

It's pretty annoying indeed.... I would just recommend you to finish them with 7h , considering NM is relatively easy ,especially for FoW.... Bring 3 sf eles + 2 HB monks , all with leech sig + power drain , 2 discorders + you on any random bar and you will finish both of them fast and easily....

If you do not want to use heroes , then just wait for a pug team , but most will want to do it on HM ( and most will fail too) so that's a bit harder....

Definitely jump into Fissure of Woe with confidence. It's actually really easy. Just read the wiki descriptions for the individual quests so you don't be a moron like me and go kill the Wailing Lord or something like that.

as for the UW, so called "practice" groups (0-10 Ghastly Stones) fail as often as 100+ grps TBH.
If U can do T1 without much problem under 20minutes holla at me in game (IG: The Mordiego) so I can take U along with my 250+ grp I form every day. I will vouch for U if u answer a few basic Questions regarding uw quests^^ T1 is the easiest part after all

If you got 2-3 hours to spare, take time to read my guide here - http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/7...t10480563.html - and load up the build Jeydra made for the Underworld and 7H through UW for the monument. Jeydra's build is listed few posts down.

jazilla · May 23, 2011, 07:27 PM // 19:27

UW is really the trick if you are new at it. Fissure may seem daunting because you haven't done it but it really is a breeze. Go through FoW with guildies/friends.

_Deals_ · May 23, 2011, 08:00 PM // 20:00

I sometimes do a Full Fow Clear by myself and 7H's i use cons just for the giggles but i actually just kill every foe in the realm just for the lolz, usually takes me <2 hours to kill literally every foe in the area, if you don't kill everything obviously it's a lot quicker but i do it for the drops and XP on survivors, i used to do FoWsc a lot but i got tired of fail groups and i was ever into Uwsc ever, so i can see where you're coming from for your Statues, theres always people who do Full FoW runs under the Services Offered thread all are like 50k a run in NM..just a thought if you're interested in that instead of going into fow blind or not having Wiki up and not really sure where everything is and taking 2++ hours

**cosyfiep** · May 23, 2011, 08:17 PM // 20:17

check out the services threads in Ventari's--sometimes there are people willing to take a few less skilled/practiced along (yeah for a fee)...but you should be able to do most of uw with little practice--and 7h, fow is easy with heroes. (even for us noobs)

Willie Lumpkin · May 23, 2011, 09:50 PM // 21:50

Wow, thanks for all the responses! I'll definitely try some of this 7H stuff.

Sarevok Thordin · May 23, 2011, 11:21 PM // 23:21

Buy the stones if you feel like trolling them 30 mins into the run.

Hobbs · May 24, 2011, 01:44 AM // 01:44

Yeah, 7h FoW isn't much of a problem but I still haven't managed to 7H UW yet, even in NM I can't manage 4H quest with my standard team (no it isn't discord).

I came up with a rather foolproof way of doing 4H with heroes, read about it in the thread I linked few posts up. It's rather clever and any profession can do it.

Neith · May 24, 2011, 03:43 AM // 03:43

If you'd like real people, count me in. I may be able to round up a few people so heroes dont have to be used. I love that area, it's my favorite.

coil · May 24, 2011, 04:20 AM // 04:20

UW: since you can ele.. t1 or emo. both easy and stones should only make a difference in how fast you find a group, not how many fails youll have before completion. if you can play euro hour, toa is packed during those times.

FOW: is really easy..heroes or balanced groups..if people still pug searing flames you could try that...or e/me.
