Hall of the Abyss Access

Overview:
Hall of the Abyss is the deepest guild dungeon wherein adventurers can acquire powerful equipments called the Vellum weapons. However access to the dungeon is only limited to those who are able to fulfill the investment amount and only guild owners have the capability to enter this dungeon.


The Cat Hand Service has developed a technology similar to the dimensional crack in the new world and found out that there is a deeper dungeon from the existing guild dungeons. From then on, they are now offering the service to guilds who are willing to pay the fee and in return they will open a portal for guild owners to access the Hall of the Abyss.


Investment Period:
The investment period starts 30minutes after the end of War of Emperium and ends after 60 hours. For Valkyrie Server, the investment time is from Saturday 6:30pm to Tuesday 6:30am.

Investment Fee:
There are two ways to invest in the opening of the Hall of the Abyss. Either you invest using Cat Hand Certificates or invest in zeny. Also note that Vasilos Vouchers are also accepted and considered as investment in zeny. For Valkyrie server, the investment cap inorder to open the Hall of the Abyss is 100 billion zeny! Also the investment cap inorder to open the second level of the dungeon is 40 billion zeny.


How to Invest:
Visit the realm where your guild has a castle. Locate Cat Paw Merchant Guild near the center of the realms. See images below for the exact locations. Talk to him and he can give you an overview of the service they offer. During your conversation he will ask you if you would like to invest. Select the investment option you like. The investment board beside him will provide you with the total investment of the realm but updated every 5 hours. Adventurers not belonging to a guild can also invest. However, their investment will not be counted on any castle but it will be included on the total investment reflected on the Investment board.

Valkyrie Realm


Britoniah Realm


Luina Realm


Greenwood Lake Realm


Opening of Guild Dungeons:
Once the investment period finishes. All Realms who reached the investment cap will have their Hall of the Abyss opened. However if none of the realms reached the investment cap, the highest investment among the four realms will have their Hall of the Abyss opened. The result of the investment can be viewed on the Investment Board on each realm


Access to the Guild Dungeons:

First Level
The first level of the guild dungeon is still accessible the old way. Please see my Guild Dungeon Switches - WoE1 post. Also after the investment period non-guild owners can also access the dungeon but with a fee. For Valkyrie Server the fee is 10 million zeny. The said service is offered by the Meraq of the Cat Hand Service after the investment period.


Second Level
The second level of the dungeon can be accessed by the guild owners from the Cat Hand Service NPC inside the castle. If you talk to him he will give you an option to warp to the guild dungeon or Hall of the Abyss. It is also accessible for non-guild owners but with a fee similar to the first level.

The map is exactly the same as the first level map but the monsters in it are the same as the Hall of the Abyss. The only difference from the Hall of the Abyss is it does not contain an MVP and treasure boxes. Adventurers can hunt vellum items dropped from this monsters but the drop rate might be frustrating.


Hall of the Abyss:
Hall of the Abyss is the deepest guild dungeon. Only guild owners can access this map. Just to give you a warning, the map is similar to the War of Emperium environment meaning it is Guild versus Guild enabled! It can only be accessed by guild owners of the opened realms. Inside the castle locate Gate Manager which is usually on the second or third map of the castle. Talk to him and he'll give you a free warp to either the second level or Hall of the Abyss free of charge.


What makes this dungeon special is the promised of looting Vellum Weapons. The Vellum Weapons are powerful equipments that leans more to player versus player equipment. The MVP of each realm drops a Vellum Weapon Box on a higher rate. The box randomly gives a vellum weapon so it is still a gamble. Mini-MVPs are also present on the map which drops Vellum Weapon Box but with a lower rate.


Treasure boxes are often seen on the dungeon serving as bonus loots for adventurers. They provide various War of Emperium potions of different colors. In our pRO server, they also drop the PH gears and Bato which is used for refining the PH gears.

Monsters:
Here are the corresponding MVPs and mini-MVPs from each realm.
