Title: Nurga Mines Waterfall
Post by: Felishar on December 21, 2004, 12:16:00 AM
Ok, Question
Today I was called to a group in Nurga, when I got there i dropped down water fall only to find out the person that had sent me a tell me Temple of Droga.. ok so I go to swim up the waterfall to get out like everyone says. I dropped Lev. And.... Can't get out, I just take little hops like my guy is trying to hop out of a small pool.
Has anyone experianced this since the dec 15 patch. I know they made changes to make it "easier to get out of water"

Am i mis-informed about being able to swim up the fall?

I've spent some time hunting in Nurga, and I've honestly never tried to get out that way.  As far as I know, the "swim up the waterfall" trick is used on the other waterfall - up to Tier C, near Stabber Remmy's spawn point.  The trick is that the layer of water has a small but finite thickness.  So, if you shrink down small enough (double shrink, on my troll), you are completely within the water and can swim up the falls!  Again, I've never tried it on the falls that lead to the entrance (Tier A) area, but if it works at all, shrink down before trying to swim up.  I have definitely gone swimming up the upper falls since the last patch. 

Alternatively, note that nothing in Nurga sees invisible.  Just go invis, run all the way around to Remmy's room, and drop back down that other waterfall to the entry area.  If you can survive in Droga, you must be a high enough level beastlord to have invisibility. :) 

For the benefit of all other listeners, Nurga really isn't worth it.  Stay away.  You don't want to be there.  No loot, no exp to be had (even after it came off the Hot Spot list), no Chardok faction, no reason at all to go there.  Stay away. :)

You are correct, you can't swim up the large waterfall. The one everyone swims up is the one right near the zone that takes you to Remmy's room. The last time I tried to get up it I couldn't as a Vah Shir no matter if I was shrunk or not. Think they had some problems a while back with the collisions on things like that. It isn't too difficult to navigate around Nurga with invis.

There is plenty of exp and loot there to go around. :)

I haven't tried this since the last patch, but you always could swim up the big waterfall.  I don't remember if I needed a single or a double shrink as a Vah Shir (probably double), but smaller races could do it with a single shrink.

You definately can swim up BOTH waterfalls in Nurga.  I double shrink myself & put on levi.  I get up either waterfall easily with no problems.
