This is a primer not a goal-walkthrough
The Big Bad: Asvarien = the final boss, his room is the "down room" up from him is the "up room" (see below) Player Roles: main tank = Usually a t9, the first to move to a new room rescuers = Usually also t9s or strong high tiers, assist main tank by taking 1 mob each hitters = people who are engaged in fighting, usually autoattacking + phealing healers (chealers) = people NOT fighting, usually mixing pheal and chealing the tanks deadweight = people doing nothing, don't be this guy downhealer = people who go into the "down room" with Asvarien and cheal the tank, it's very important for the tank to live. uphealer = at the end, people below 35k hp will sit in the "up room" and cheal the downhealers when they come up and say heal Terminology:
 
<nowiki>*</nowiki> signets = rings needed to pass by arbiters/keepers
 
<nowiki>*</nowiki> arbiters/keepers = guys you nod or bow to to pass by sections (prevents late joiners)
 
<nowiki>*</nowiki> maze part = part in the middle where there's a maze, wandering here = death
 
<nowiki>*</nowiki> pheal = party heal, default action most of the time
 
<nowiki>*</nowiki> cheal = incomplete heal, you'll be directed to do this as needed


Average runtime: 30 mins to an hour
<nowiki>*</nowiki> waves = at certain hp %'s Asvarien will call waves of mobs, these wreak havoc  on downhealers and tanks. To prevent them from overwhelming the party,  Asvarien will be resanced to slow down his droprate, and allow off-tanks to  clear the waves one by one.


Average group size: 15 to 20
<nowiki>*</nowiki> term = If you're lucky enough to have a paladin in the group, terminate is your  friend.


Chance of death: Fairly high
<nowiki>*</nowiki> autoattack = regular melee attack, usually you'll not be using attack spells but  instead will be doing pheal. NOT autoassist, it's generally best to engage manually.  Rules: ********* Rule 1: Pay attention and do as you're told. *********


Ease of corpse recovery for non-clanned: This is a morgue area, you leave no corpse and your eq stays on/with you when you die.
<nowiki>*</nowiki> There's an implied truce during epic runs, don't pk people.


Who can go? Any 200/201 as long as you have incomplete heal and
<nowiki>*</nowiki> Don't spam commands, ever. You NEED to be able to react to changes  and spamming can cause problems. If you are phealing 5 rounds after  combat ends Androg will skullfuck you.


party heal and don't mind dying a bit more than normal you'll be useful
<nowiki>*</nowiki> Don't spam gtell with stuff ESPECIALLY automessages and stuff  there's a lot going on so gtell needs to be mostly business.


to the group as a healer.
<nowiki>*</nowiki> Triggers off. Except utility stuff like potion tracking etc.


What will I get? Rank Items are ideal, there's some other good eq, and some
<nowiki>*</nowiki> NO BOTTING, shouldn't need to be reiterated but there you go.


pretty crappy stuff too. It's random so don't be too sad if you get screwed,
<nowiki>*</nowiki> If you're confused, ask what you need to be doing.  When in doubt stand there without attacking and pheal


unless you're Argyle then you've earned the right to be sad.
<nowiki>*</nowiki> If you're told to use flee, don't use retreat


Speedwalks:
<nowiki>*</nowiki> There's one part where you don't want to area attack, make sure you don't.


from hotel: run u10n32e
<nowiki>*</nowiki> If you're a t9 rescuer, rescue the tank once and once only, over rescuing  causes problems. If you don't rescue at all see deadweight above.  Starting the run:


from mayhem (compendium of fal'shara portal): run 6s2we
<nowiki>*</nowiki> Take a deep breath, everything will be ok. Just don't panic and all will be well.


Note: Down from this room is usually refered to as "The Center"
<nowiki>*</nowiki> A group leader will be designated, head to OC (usually the center) and follow  the group leader.


It's where the group usually forms.
