Condemned Subway

The Condemned Subway is the first dungeon for newcomers to on Rubi-Ka. It's made for low level players in the level range ~5 - 24. Entering the dungeon is limited to level 24 max; while you can stay inside the dungeon and level beyond that you won't be able to reenter it once you've left it with a level 25 or higher. Warping into the dungeon is blocked (at least for players past level 24). The subway can be entered in the cities Borealis, West Athen and outside the eastern gates of Rome (Rome Stretch, Pos: 174,874). There is a nonworking subway entrance in Newland City. Each entrance leads to a different instance of the subway -- each entrance, in turn, may generate multiple instances of the subway, depending on how many people are using a given entrance. Note: If you want to explore the subway with friends, make sure to pick the one where all of you can go to safely (there are omni/clan guards near the subway in West Athen and outside Rome Blue). Since a given entrance may generate a different instance, team up before entering the subway -- without teamed before hand, you may end up in different instances (unable to see each other while being virtually at the same place). The upper level(s) of the subway actually resemble the feeling of a real subway station with shops, ramps and platforms. Eumenides guards the access tunnel to the lower, second part of the dungeon, which looks more like a sewer (maintenance) system. As usual, the further you run into the dungeon, the more dangerous the mobs get.

Unique Mobs

Eumenides

Eumenides is a level 20 boss guarding the lower part of the subway in one of the railroad tunnels. Tactics: Eumenides is the first boss encounter you will probably find, and it will be a simple one too. The fight is basically a tank and spank, and whether your team manages to down him or not would depend mostly on level and equipment. Kiting him is not recommended as his range attacks usually will burn you down, coupled with the fact that he likes to switch targets often. It is however, possible to run away from him with a high amount of runspeed. Respawntime: 30 Minutes Drop: ID NOT FOUND Ring of the Nucleus Basalis (uncommon/rare) ID NOT FOUND Living Cyber Armor

Vergil Aeneid

Vergil Aeneid is a ~level 29 boss. He is pretty much at the end of the dungeon, guarding the lair of Abmouth. Usually there are 2 mobs beside him, but they are in no way connected with Vergil in regard to spawning, but tend to share a similar aggro range and/or social aggro when Vergil is attacked. Tactics: This encounter comes with ample warning before your team engages Vergil. The door should already be open revealing Vergil and his 2 Melded Pattern lackeys guarding him. Ignore the 4 shadows and start by pulling Vergil himself. Your team however should concentrate their attacks on the 2 Melded Patterns before going all out DPS on Vergil. This ensures that the 2 adds do not slow your healer's execution of nano programs. Do note however that using any AOE spell (e.g. Mongo taunts, NT AOE nukes) is highly dangerous as it will attract the 4 shadows at the doorway, possibly resulting in a wipe. Nevertheless, the fight should not be of much challenge to a team of 6 non-twinked Level 20s. Respawntime: 30 Minutes Drop: ID NOT FOUND Belt of Justice (rare) ID NOT FOUND Living Cyber Armor

Abmouth Supremus

Abmouth Supremus is the level 30 final boss of the Subway. Usually he is standing in a small pit at the very end, sometimes already guarded by 2 infectors. Latest if he gets attacked these 2 infectors will spawn. Killing them is required at times, however they will get respawned immediately. Let a calmer handle them if there is one available. Tactics: Possibly the first ever real boss fight you will encounter as a lowbie, Absmouth packs a punch to any who gets within his reach. An average team will find it difficult to bring down this beast as his huge health bar coupled along with his crushing attacks will wear off your team seconds after the fight. It is not recommended to tank this encounter unless your tank has at least 1000 health, which is rather high for a Level 24. A common tactic is to use pets to draw away Absmouth's attention while the rest of the team hides behind an opposing wall and shoots/nukes from a distance. The infectors can be handled by an expierenced mezzer (e.g. NT, Bureaucrat, MP), or if no one in the team can mezz, it can be vital at times to dispose of them. The infectors will spawn a few seconds after their death, but if getting them off your healers require you to kill them, then by all means. Melee DPS classes such as enforcers may find themselves handicapped as it would be difficult to get a few hits in without getting attacked in return (unless you are a Neleb-subway twink). Range nano-casters and gun users must maintain maximum range at all times, and squishies such as doctors and NTs must keep their distance. Using the room layout can be a good tactic. Study its infrastructure, and you will know where to hide throughout the course of the fight. Respawntime: 30 Minutes, although it seems more like a 20-30 min respawn timer with lower than 100% chance of spawning Drop: ID NOT FOUND Belt of Justice ID NOT FOUND Ring of the Nucleus Basalis (100%) ID NOT FOUND Juggler's Treat ID NOT FOUND Living Cyber Armor The Belt and Juggler's Treat always drop together, it's either both of them or none; their drop chance is with a rough guess at about 30%.
