Talk:Temple of Balthazar

No Mists?

If Temple of Grenth has an entrance to UW shouldnt this guy give access to FoW? -- C4K3 16:43, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

I wonder how many times I've heard this... The reason, that I can tell, that this temple does not offer FoW access (I am sure that, originally, it was planned to) is because of the party size and normal level in this area. With a party of 6, and basic levels of about 15 *based on henchmen levels, which seem to me to be a "basic prediction of player levels"*, it wouldn't be wise to enter FoW from there. And those who are not prepared would probably easily venture there on accident. Also, players in that part of the game, storyline-wise, would not be Ascended yet, and would, thus, be unable to enter the Fissure of Woe. -- Azazel The Assassin\talk 17:33, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Makes sense -- C4K3 17:38, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm being silly right now but it's perfectly possible to venture to the falls from temple of the ages with a party of 8. Actually that's how maguuma gets vanquished.91.176.71.241 08:27, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Possible yes. Logical? Not really. Why would you go from a town you can use to go to FoW, just to travel through several explorable areas to go to FoW... Makes sense? I THINK NOT! >:D Afterall, there is a reason why ToA has a party of eight. ^_^ -- Azazel The Assassin\talk 08:56, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Quick! Start a rumor that if you vanq from Temple to the Falls then enter the Fissure you get ten times the obsidian drops! Oh wait, no, don't! :D Not totally related, but I found myself wondering the other day, what if you could enter the Fissure from the statue of Balthy in pre-searing. . . . --Star Weaver 16:40, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

If you could, then you could also enter UW through one of the two statues in the Catacombs =o. But neither are temples so it could be that, lore-wise, it has to be a temple to gain access. >_> -- Azazel The Assassin\talk 19:40, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, that too. Well, pre-searing character can't be Ascended yet anyhow. I just wonder what the heck two players with pre's skill selection could even do O_O. --Star Weaver 21:34, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

the sad thing is that players would find a way to farm it in pre BO6B 08:23, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
