Sure, go ahead and cater to the wishes of players your size. How about extending that generosity to the gates in E.Necropolis and G.Citadel (yes I know about going to the past).

Typical... this happens less than a week AFTER I finished doing runs to the Chamber of Oracles for Maat's Cap!

Does this mean it was actually intended for Tarutarus,lol? As I recall, the meteorite you have to farm take place around Windurst =P


I came up on this quest by accident while doing a mission for "AMK" and was required to go to the Chamber of Oracles. Well, anyway, I digress. I spoke to a Goblin near the crystal in eastern Altepa dessert. You need a Tremor stone plus a meteorite.

:cool:

I don't remember, but if you Teleport-Altep, there's a goblin right next to the telepoint. The quest is pretty easy. You need some item from the Cloister of Tremors, and either a meteorite, a soil gem, or I think something like 12 soil geodes (your choice). The meterorite is Rare/Ex, but the other stuff you can buy if you want.

I wonder if they are going to do them for other areas too. There are lots of doors and stuff that are hard to open solo, the torch door under Uggy temple, The Necropolis, Old Altepa Gate, I also suggest eliminating the cost of Entering Undersea Ruins. (maybe a reward for the up and coming Nyzul change)

It's already a reward for finishing Assault. Captains can enter the ruins freely. This is good and it's exactly what should be implemented for other such areas too, like the ones you mentioned.

If you carry a salvage permit with you, you can enter freely as well. Until you do salvage that is, but I don't see many people still doing it.
