Upper Lv. Of Gratt Underground Waterways

Hi people!!
For this post I want to talk about a mainstream dungeon in Rohan : Blood Feud called Upper Lv. Of Gratt Underground Waterways or people at Rohan like to call it just Upper.

Where is Upper? Is is a good spot for leveling? For what level? What gears should I prepare to be able to survive it?

 Phew so many questions. But let's first see where is Upper and how to get there!!! Because most newbie usually confused and doesn't know where is Upper and how to get there. Hehe. . Talking about myself long ago.. :p

You can get to upper via 2 ways. 
1.  From Southern Shielynth  Bindstone. You can buy Southern Shielynt Bindstone Portal Stone at Arbelorn. After that teleport there and open your map and look for Gratt Fortress just North from your position. Notice a small castle bridge connecting the main road and Gratt Fortress. Go there and make your way to the inner Fortress pass 2 open-gate. Keep going and eventually you will see a portal with an NPC standing near it. Get inside, and you will get ported to a dungeon called Gratt Underground Waterways, look around you and there's an NPC named Taru, talk to him and choose the only option which is to be ported inside Upper.

2. From Hazy Ravine Bindstone.  You can buy Hazy Ravine Bindstone Portal Stone at NPC Merchant near Southern Shielynt Bindstone(However this portal stone is quite expensive, 350k crones for 10 stones). Teleport to Hazy Ravine Bindstone, and look around, notice a gate portal and go inside it. Now you will ported to Gratt Underground Waterways immediately, however, you are now is in the far opposite side from Taru NPC location. Open your map and notice you are in the far East of the dungeon. You need to go to the far West part of dunegon and talk to Taru NPC there to be ported into Upper.

Preparations : 
Glacial Armor Set +9
Deluxe Health Potion buy at Arbelorn Sundries, it has 1 sec cooldown. Buy 2 slots.
A mount, if you don't have dungeon mount, then use route number 1. Walking is a pain in the ass.

Fact and Rumor : 
1.People think going to Upper from Hazy Ravine is shorter and faster, but that's not true. Both are same, the Hazy Ravine route looks shorter just because you get ported to Gratt Underground Waterways dungeon faster and the route just looks very linear and short(because you are in dungeon). However, it's actually same, The run from Eastern room until Western room of this dungeon is just as long as the run from Southern Bindstone to the portal in the middle of Gratt Fortress.

2. Secondly people thought that the trip from Hazy is easier than Southern, to tell you the truth if you are defender or vit dekan or any high Pdef class, that's true. But if your Pdef is under 4200 or you don't wear Glacial Armor set +9, you will find this Hazy Ravine route to be a nightmare. Why? Maybe people don't realize but the monsters along this dungeon's hallway hits harder than the highest level monster at Upper. Don't believe me?? Go try run it without Glacial set +9 or under 4000 Pdef, you will die or barely survive before you can reach Taru NPC at the far West room. They are indeed only Physical type monsters, but they hit hard and some of them are ranged monsters which will make your life uneasy, trust me.

3. It is true Southern route has that Malefice Succubus that hits far harder than those monsters in Gratt Underground Waterways hallway because Succubuses here are Magic type monster. But there are only a few number of them and they can be easily killed, you can run and kill them while on the way to reduce the casualty, or you can just run and avoid them as best as you can. I know you can't avoid it completely, but you can minimalize their attack by running from distance. Again not like those monsters in Gratt's hallway, you can't kill them on the way because there are too many of them and they linked to each other, not to mention they have quite a lot of HP(bet you also didn't recognize it), in fact higher HP than monsters at Upper. You will dig your own grave just try to kill them. If you insist using Hazy Ravine route, it's better to rush your way and ignore them hitting you, just be sure to watch your HP and use 1 sec cooldown potion(ex : Deluxe Health Potion), can be bought at Arbelorn Sundries. Ofc unless you are a tanky class :D

Arrived at Upper Lv. Of Gratt Underground Waterways(Upper)?
Great, welcome to the most mainstream spot to leveling in Rohan Blood Feud dedicated for Lv80-Lv115.
If you can walk yourself here via those 2 methods I mentioned above, than you will be able to survive this dungeon.

Here's the map of Upper.

Upper dungeon consist of many rooms contains monsters that has an extra fast respawn time, that's why this place is an ideal place for leveling in party. Also when you arrive here, you will be in the middle of the map, in a large square looking room. This is a safezone, means no one can attack and kill you. There also some NPC here that will give you quest for a Corroding Key. The key can be used to open some chests scaterred around this dungeon, but let me tell you, it's not worth your time. So skip it. You are here to leveling not doing trash quests.

Look at screenshot, Upper divided into two zones.
Blue Zone and Red Zone.
What's the differences? Rooms are same, the difference is only the monsters, and it's level.
The Red Zone has higher and harder monsters than the Blue Zone.

Blue Zone and Red Zone. each has 2 hallways, Top Right hallway, and Bottom Right hallway for Blue Zone, then Top Left and Bottom Left for Red Zone.
Blue Zone in Rohan usually called RIGHT side, and Red Zone called LEFT side.

The farther the room from the middle safezone, the harder the monsters, and the number of monster will get increased for every farther room. The farthest room in the hallway is usually called VIP, it's a large room that hold many monster inside. Each hallway has 2 mirrored room, and of course 2 VIP room, the second farthest room often called Semi VIP room. This room has same level monster with those in VIP.

Blue Zone monsters or RIGHT side is for Lv 90 - 105 and Red Zone monsters or LEFT side is for Lv 105 - 115. 

For the Blue Zone monsters you can survive it with only Enchanted Bedron armor set +9 and 3500 Pdef.
For the Red Zone monsters you can survive it with Glacial Split Armor set +9 and 4000 Pdef.

Controversy :
Well, because this is a mainstream dungeon, we need to be aware that the PK rate at this dungeon is the highest among all other leveling spot in Rohan world. So be ready to get killed by RPK.
It's best to check your character for every 15-30 mins, just so you won't find your character standing doing nothing at a bindstone after get killed by RPK.

That's all for Upper dungeon, hope this article can be a help for you. Thanks for reading :)
