The Abandoned Sewers Trial was newly revamped for [[Issue 12]]. The Trial now functions more like a [[Task Force]], as other Trials do.  It should also correctly require a team of Heroes between level 38 and 40, and auto-exemplar heroes over level 40.  (Previously, only the leader had to be in this level range, and anyone from level 36 to level 50 could participate without sidekicking/exemplaring.)


== The Trial ==
The majority of the Trial is designed to take place in the [[Abandoned Sewer Network]].  The contact ([[Mairenn MacGregor]]) is located near the [[Atlas Park]] sewer entrance.


The Abandoned Sewers Trial is available for heroes level 38-40.  Unlike other task forces and trials, the {{PAGENAME}} is run as a mission that any hero between the levels 38-40 can accept.  The trial does '''not''' auto-exemp higher level charcters, and the only restriction on the lower level is the minimum level requirement of the [[Abandoned Sewer Network]] (level 36).  Heroes can leave and join the team at any point in the mission.  The level of the [[Rikti]] and Hatched Kraken within the second mission is set at level 42.
The last mission will always spawn mobs at level 42 or higher, regardless of team members' levels.
