apparently u need to have completed morrok questline up to a certain point, but not past it. if u passed it, u are screwed, and need a port. if u are not there yet, then u need to get there and kill final boss belathis(HM i think). then find the port that opens.

the above is on an afaik basis, based on speculation and rumor

The story quest in Belathis fortress does not require you to kill anything, according to guild mates. You can join another group, after they have finished easy/normal/hard mode belathis, and complete the quest after they finish the instance.

Already mentioned, you can complete the story quest on easy mode of the instance, so anyone who finishes it can invite others to complete the quest, as long as they hold the instance open.

Whew.... i found soneone online that could get there that opened a portal. all i need now is the time to find a group to do belathis so i can finish the morrok chain (belathis) in sarlo to open the rest of the quests
they should have just made it a place you could travel to from snoop right from the get go

Getting to new zone

Tell me if I'm missing something.
1.. To get to the new zone you have to complete the epic quest line through sarlo? (Yes i know I can portal rune).
2...Many people's epic quest line (like mine) I think is broken so I cannot complete the line or get to new zone?
3...To complete the epic line you have to kill the last boss in the Sarlo instance?

I did the tower of balance quests b4 being sent there by Morrock or Iswan. I set the bombs in byalant where I should have been sent to Ninske at tower of balance to talk to Jill? That never happened. Support is clueless. The only quests I see on map are two sending me into the instance. (Get a sword and a crown I think). Am I screwed or does someone know how to fix this? Thanks for any help.

someone said something today in world about needing to finish the Belathis quests before the quest line takes you to the new zone.


Now I don't know if you have to do them in normal/hard instead of easy... as I haven't bothered to go that far in that zone questing.

It doesn't seem to be a problem. Most people just got someone to port them there. Saw at least half the server in the new zone.

Only have to do easy mode. Ask somebody on a server that does clear it for the strats and its no issue. And just porting will not work.... you need to clear bela for the quest chain to continue, so unless you plan on spaming resets, you have to clear it.

Hmmm, been looking at the info on this and I think I just got handed my reason to leave this game.

They've never made running an instance a requirement to properly move on in this game that I can recall - it was always a side thing. (do feel free to correct me if Im wrong)

I don't run in large parties, I'm not part of what would be considered a *real* guild, and I seriously doubt my toon would survive setting foot in a high end instance.

'Been capped out forever waiting for the next zone and get... this.

Bah Humbug.

ah, ty, it seems i have been misinformed.

and yeah myste, big kick in the teeth for people who would rather not run instances/have no means to run instances...

Why does it bother anyone? There's 1 guild that can clear Bela on Govinda afaik. Even on easy, Bela is strat heavy. 90% of the parties I've been in can't even make it to first boss on easy because of the strat you have to do for those flame/electric towers. I guess it might be a problem if there's no guilds on the whole server that can do it.

Quest line can't continue unless you clear... well that might be a problem.

that the vast majority of the population is level cap. in most other games i have/still played/play, there is a steady number of new players trickling in, thus, there are many people who are not lvl cap, nor endgame.

honestly, when you take a look around, what is the proportion of new players to old players? like 9:1? for other games it's closer to 1:1...

face it, most people still around have been here for years. i don't know many new people that a) are here or b) are still here.

if it is only Bela easy... whew no problem. Might be running friends through it on Artemis though, not to mention our own chars.

Bela clear

That's the problem I see. Not everyone can run Bela even on easy. To make it mandatory to so direct how players are able to advance in the game/quests is rather Dictatorial. I'm not big on running instances. I've done the few quests in the new zone around the main town and I'm already down to maybe half a dozen left visible on the map. Unless these unlock about 100 more, you're not going to get more than a single level out of it. (Not counting epic line which many are unable to get to). If ROM is trying to force people into buying itemshop items just to progress then I think it's just another nail in the coffin of this game. How much were the enhanced plussers last "sale", like 70-80 dias each? No more quests--go buy daily resets with cash. You want +16 gear? $20 average per piece.

I'm not quite sure why this is a big deal.

To get to AKoR you had to complete the Morrok questline up through TB (albeit that's not as difficult) to be able to get a port to Rorazan. I see some players (in game) that are frustrated they have to do anything at all to get to the new zone and that it should just be walking into the zone from Sarlo. We've been through this before. Complete your quests, get someone to run you through and bam, you're done. I've not run Bela yet and don't really care at this point. Unlike several people asking for power level in Reni last night, I'm in no hurry to get to end game as fast as possible and contribute to the expensiveness of this game.

The complaint stems from the fact that you must complete the instance to progress to Wailing Fjord.

To get to Zandorya and Kolydia, you simply had to follow open-world quests. None of that required gearing up to take part in an instance.
Admittedly, this problem will disappear over time since I will eventually be able to ask someone of level 115 to run me through Belathis. :D

Any idea why they did this?

This is going to be a real pain but it should make your end gamers very happy right, sorta puts some real Power in their hands over the average/solo player.
