Guide to Aion Lower Abyss Fortresses DateTime:8/18/2010 5:52:58 PM
I tend to find there are few people who actually want to run a lower abyss instance. The LFG chat rarely sees any activity from someone looking to put together a group for these, at least on the Nezekan server. The odd thing is these are pretty fun to do with a group and only take 15 minutes or so to complete. These instances are also nice source of AP and XP free from being ganked by the other faction when grinding in the abyss. You might even get a nice drop too! The 15 minute timer starts as soon as a player crosses it, this includes pets (careful Spiritmasters!). Once the timer runs out all remaining treasure chests disappear so the main focus is to get to as many of these as possible in the time limit and loot them.
Once you pass the barrier you want to only aggo the minimum mobs required to get to the centre. All participants should then stand on the island and not move off, so as to avoid aggoing the patrols and other mobs nearby. The treasure chest itself requires quite a beat down to open. It is based on total hits not DPS so the best option is to all put your weapons away and simply punch the box, it is your fastest attack. If you have a Spiritmaster then he should additionally train the pet to hit the box for additional hits but make sure it is in a spot which will not aggro anything. This instance is a fair bit more difficult then Sulfur Tree Nest but a lot more nail biting and fun! Once you get past the transparent timer wall and kill the first few guards you will find the six chambers as per above.
