Up the lvl to enter abyssea to 70 PLEASE

[geekgirl101]

You heard really, really wrong. Also... Abyssea hasn't even been around for a "long time" considering how long the game has been out. Were you even playing prior to Abyssea?

Yes and no. I played years ago before WotG came out, then I quit the game and came back after Abyssea. I was told that the entry originally was 75, but they took the entry cap down to 30 and removed the WotG mission entry requirement after complaints and also took away the 1 page per game day from books so that people could spam books.

I don't see a point in changing it - but by all means if you want to pt for 6+ hours and gain 2 levels go or it . I don't think anyone will stop you o/

I strongly suspect the players here pinning for the Good Old Days forgotten just how terrible they really were.

And there were plenty of gimps around long before Aby.

Abyssea has been level 30 from day 1.

I do remember the bad parts too, like hours spent shouting for specific jobs, hunting for camps and finding them all taken up, wipes in some out of reach parts with no nearby whms that you had to release and go all the way back again, competition for mobs, mage resting downtime, and level spread. Level syncing was supposed to aid with most of that, so that you could keep your levels together, and you could choose syncs for virtually any zone and not have to just rely on the one overcamped zone to level in, and the pages provide low level refresh and reraise. It's not as bad as it used to be and still requires using your noggin', that was until people decided to ally instead and fight easy prey instead of a 6-man team fighting IT. And you know what? I found that more fun and more rewarding than getting only 1-2 hits on a skeleton or running back and forth to the npcs in Abyssea for a new page only for it to be completed before I reach the rest of the alliance.

As for the gimps they were mostly the product of power levels overhealing to aggro so all they had to do was swing their weapons and not worry about outthreating the power leveller.

Abyssea has been level 30 from day 1.

Hmm, maybe it was on the test server then.

[Arcon]

I don't know any of these quests you say that require you to enter Abyssea at an early level Arcon.

That wasn't me. And they meant that the quests do not involve fighting and can thus be done by a Level 30 player, not that they were intended for one.

When was this?

Never.

Hmm, maybe it was on the test server then.

No, the test server came out almost a year after Abyssea.

[geekgirl101]

It must've been higher than 30, because I'm pretty sure the mobs I fought that were originally part of the WotG mission chain that led to the entry requirement for the maws were higher than level 30, unless it was that in order to survive those missions you had to be 75 and then could enter Abyssea with any 30+ job. Either that or the guy who told me there was a level 75 entry cap and that you had to be on the cat sith mission to be able to start the missions to enter Aby was talking out of his backside.

[Demon6324236]

You never fight anything to get access into abyssea.

[geekgirl101]

I know you don't now, but I was originally told that before you got access to the Abyssea missions you had to be on the cat sith mission or higher. Maybe the guy who told me that either didn't have a clue himself or was referring to something else.

I strongly suspect it's the last sentence there.
