Aion: Steel Rake Instance Guide

MMORPG.com Aion Correspondent Josh Price writes this look at the the lower and upper decks of the Steel Rake instance that takes place on the upper and lower decks of a ship flying through the air.
So, you've killed Golden Eye Mantutu at the end of the middle deck and all you can think to yourself is, "Could this place be ANY longer?!" The answer to that riddle is yes, yes it is quite longer. Enter: The Middle and Lower Levels. The entrance to these last two levels is located in the first room of the instance at an elevator switch. Because you can't access Steel Rake until 40 and because middle deck is around level 41, you will definitely spend more time farming the end of Steel Rake than you do the beginning. Though it may not be by choice since the advanced stigma quest will keep you coming back for a while to complete it-an issue that isn't as bad as it sounds, since the pacing of this part of the instance helps keep it from dragging on.

Nice writeup.
(recommendation, could you link the story to the Aion general forum as well?, that would make it easier to reach the audiences interested in Aion, and I guess would be for all such articles)
I've thought about posting links on those forums and maybe the Aion Source ones too. Don't really know why I haven't yet, I'm a pretty awesome writer if I do say so myself.
Pretty fun instance although VERY long if you it all in one hit. 5-6hrs?
Usually the levels 40-44 will do the Middle Deck and lvls 43+ will do Upper/Lower Deck.
