just finished the game a few days ago, just wondering how can i get to uw or foh that everyone's talking about

Both the UW and FoW are accessible from the Temple of the Ages in The Black Curtain. However, one important caveat: you can only access them when your region (America, Europe, Korea) has the favor of the gods.

Just wanted to add this...

It takes a donation of 1 platinum to get into UW and FoW. Usually the team leader collects 125g from each player to make the the donation. Donations are made to Balthazar for FoW and to Grenth for UW.

Also, beware of mean people in these groups. If you freely admit that it is your first trip, you may be subject to harsh words! Do the following to avoid being singled out as a noob:

1) Ask, "Who's collecting?" when you get into the group and then pay them 125g.
2) Do not talk to any of the ghostly NPC's in either UW or FOW until the group decides to talk to them. Usually there is some amount of clean up work to be done before the NPC's are engaged, so sit back and follow the target.
3) It's easy to agro the monsters lurking at the entrances, so don't get curious. Just sit tight.
4) If you are a caster keep your agro bubble far far far away from the tank. The mobs in these zones are extremely viscous towards squishy people.
5) Rinse and repeat. After a few trips you won't be the noob anymore.
6) Be nice to other noobs.

it would actually help to tell him a good skillbar, cus if he asks ingame, it will be a dead giveaway....gcg what class are you?

I dunno, when I say "LFG", (i'm a monk), I get flooded with every type of invite. So I say "LFG, I can do anything", and I ask them what skills they want me to use, smite, prot,heal.

In fact, every class can do this. Trap ranger, blood/death necro, illusion/domination/inspiration mesmer, hydro/pyro/etcmancer, etc.

I find doing this makes communication a whole lot easier.

if you join a full ranger trap team, not knowing skills is a damn dead giveaway. as for normal teams, it varies. which is why i want to know what class this guy is.
