Talk:Unwaking Waters (explorable)

changed res shrine information.

Blocked Off
How does one enter the explorable area from the Kurzick side? The door is blocked off for me. --aCynicalPie 23:58, 21 June 2006 (CDT)


 * From the Harvest Temple. You need to do the mission first.--Karlos 00:31, 22 June 2006 (CDT)


 * I'm confused. The Harvest Temple article only lists one exit, the Unwaking Waters (Explorable).  So how can you enter the explorable from the Kurzick side if you are starting from Harvest Temple?  It looks like you would only able to exit via, not enter from, the Kurzick side.  - 02:29, 22 June 2006 (CDT)
 * You can go to the doors of both Kurzick and Luxon Unwaking Waters in the explorable zone.--&mdash; xis10al  [[Image:Xis10al_sig_icon.jpg]] 02:33, 22 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Are you saying that, if you start from the explorable area, exit via the Kurzick door, then you will be able to enter the explorable area from the Kurzick side? - 02:43, 22 June 2006 (CDT)


 * You can only enter the Unwaking Waters (Explorable) from the Harvet Temple. Period. Now, once you're in there, you can exit to all three outposts: HArvest Temple, Unwaking (Kurzick) and Unwaking (Luxon) (provided you did the quests for both sides). --Karlos 02:46, 22 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Ah, so the direct answer to the original question is "You can't". - 02:47, 22 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Correct--&mdash; xis10al  [[Image:Xis10al_sig_icon.jpg]] 02:50, 22 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Please don't strike my answers for me, it's kinda rude. I understood (and still understand) his question to mean "How do people on the KURZICK SIDE get into Unwaking Waters (Explorable)? My guess is he got to this closed wooden gate and is thinking something is wrong and that he has not completed the mission yet. This is why I told him to complete the mission. --Karlos 03:23, 22 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Apologies for the rudeness. Now I understand why you wrote what you wrote. - 03:25, 22 June 2006 (CDT)


 * To clarify, I have completed the mission. Now if I am understanding correct, you have to enter from the Harvest Temple and you can then exit to the Kurzick and Luxon outposts, but cannot enter the explorable from them. One way portals I suppose. --aCynicalPie 19:13, 22 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Yes, this is the correct take on the Unwaking Waters (Explorable). One way, FROM Unwaking Waters TO the respective sides' outposts. - Greven 20:03, 22 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Yup, not really one way portals, Just the closed doors will be open. --Karlos 21:29, 22 June 2006 (CD


 * If you go into Unwaking Waters (Explorable) from Harvest Temple, and you have only been to Unwaking Waters (Kurzick) previously, will you be able to go to Unwaking Waters (Luxon) from the explorable area? Nakriel 18:19, 28 August 2006 (CDT)

Requirements for entering Unwaking Waters (Kurzick) / (Luxon)
Ok i got a question if i wanted exit via the loxon side du i have to du the quest or with more luxon points than kurzick i can exit?


 * As Karlos stated at the top of this topic, to enter the Luxon side from Unwaking Waters (Explorable) you must have first visited Unwaking Waters (Luxon). Same goes with the Kurzick side. This is done so you cannot cheat and skip ahead on one side. -Gares 18:34, 28 August 2006 (CDT)


 * Hmm... My Ranger whose only done the Kurzick side's missions, could enter Unwaking Waters (Luxon) by leaving from Harvest Temple, which means you can skip Gyala Hatchery or The Eternal Grove if you want to explore those areas, but this seems to only work if you got enough faction from the side you wish to enter. Jolla Himself 01:09, 1 September 2006 (CDT)


 * This is correct. You can skip either Gyala Hatchery or The Eternal Grove. There is, however, a requirement to be able to do so. I still have to confirm it, but I have reason to believe that you need to have done the quest Journey to House zu Heltzer or Journey to Cavalon respectively, to be able to enter Unwaking Waters (Kurzick) / (Luxon) while comeing from the other side. I have "crossed over" via the Unwaking Waters with multiple characters, but today I found myself in front of a closed door when I wanted to enter Unwaking Waters (Kurzick) from Unwaking Waters (Explorable) for the first time. I haven't done Journey to House zu Heltzer with that char yet. --84-175 (talk) 12:20, 6 September 2006 (CDT)


 * OK, strike that, it has nothing to do with those quests. :o) --84-175 (talk) 13:25, 6 September 2006 (CDT)


 * It most likley has to do with the primary quest that's handed out in Harvest Temple and leads you to Raisu Palace. My mesmer never completed that quest, she never found the gate to the Unwaking Waters (Luxon) outpost open from the Unwaking Waters explorable. - 13:36, 6 September 2006 (CDT)


 * No, it isn't that quest either. What I have verified not to grant access to Unwaking Waters (Kurzick), coming from the Luxon side:
 * Journey to House zu Heltzer
 * Taking Back the Palace
 * Zen Daijun (Mission) (see Talk:Vizunah Square (Local Quarter))
 * Having more Kurzick Factions than Luxon Factions
 * Befriending the Kurzicks
 * Imperial Sanctum (Mission)
 * Going to test with Kurzick faction points over the course of the evening, the other two will take a little longer. If anyone can think of anything else that might be relevant, please add it to the list. :)--84-175 (talk) 15:14, 6 September 2006 (CDT)


 * They still won't let me in. :o) --84-175 (talk) 17:32, 6 September 2006 (CDT)


 * I don't know which quest it was, or if it maybe is linked to faction points after all, but now I was able to enter Unwaking Waters (Kurzick) from Unwaking Waters (Explorable). I had done most of the quests that give Kurzick faction points in order to get 10k for the Befriending quest, but I hadn't taken the reward for that quest yet. So I'm right where I started... :-/ --84-175 (talk) 18:00, 7 September 2006 (CDT)

I think it might have to do with the current Kurzick/Luxon border. I was not allowed to enter with a character that already has been in the Unwaking Waters (Kurzick) area when that would have crossed that border, while it was no problem when both Unwaking Waters (Kurzick) and Unwaking Waters (Explorable) where Kurzick territory.

Could it have something to do with your guild's/alliance's allegiance? Lavos 18:24, 2 March 2007 (CST)

I just got into unwaking waters luxon by walking to the gate and talking to the guard although i did do befriending the kurzics and the luxons

The only way allegiance is determined is by how much faction you have with one side. If you are allied with the Luxons and you have more Kurzick faction, te Kurzicks will favour you. The only time guild comes into it is if your faction with either side is equal. The "Befriending Quests" are just a key in getting to the mission of that side.

Is it possible that how much faction you have transfered to your alliance(s) makes a difference? It seems that several people have been denied access after going through before, but I don't see anyone gaining access after not being able to go through.--Lavos 02:26, 4 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Nevermind. It cannot be accaunt-based at all, because my rit is denied access but my ele is allowed in, but no faction or anything else has been added/subtracted between the two attempts.--Lavos 02:48, 8 May 2007 (CDT)

Alright, I'm certain that it is Befriending the Kurziks/Luxons that enables going tot he other side. Over the last few days I have been trying to "ferry" my friends to Unwakening Waters (Luxon). It was only after they completed Befriending the Luxons that the Luxon guard let our group in. --Lavos 19:38, 23 May 2007 (CDT)

Vanquishing the area in Hard Mode
Just a point, when vanquishing the area, there are two Outcast enemies standing on the Kurzick pathway, which is non-accessible from the Harvest Temple outpost. In order to clear the area, you must have some nuking or other ranged damage capability to sucessfully clear the area. --TracerBullet 02:03, 28 July 2007 (GMT)

Incorrect Linking
First off, I corrected the link, 20 Hylas (access to the Luxon Unwaking Waters outpost) So that it links to Unwaking Waters Luxon instead of Kurzick like it previously was.

Seconly, The link for Hylas, links to the weapon crafter in Yak's Bend, NOT to the NPC standing in Unwaking Waters (Explorable). Isk8 10:35, 29 July 2007 (CDT)

I've corrected the link.. &mdash; Corsaire  05:57, 26 September 2007 (CDT)

Cartography
The Grandmaster cartography guide mentions that you can "use a skill like Necrotic Traversal to explore the southernmost loop and uncover the island." But how? I've cleared the area 3 times on Normal Mode and haven't seen the opportunity to do this. Are there some extra enemies only on Hard Mode that allow you to Traversal over the normal boundaries of the map? Zyxomma100 18:41, 18 September 2007 (CDT)
