Blast from the Past

Blast from the Past used to be a form of Instance Matching that became available for entry to players at level 60. It was accessible by using the Instance Matching menu. It is now discontinued.



How it works
Blast from the Past is a special system that will queue a high level player into level 20-53 Dungeons to aid lower-level players. Players will have their stats and gear equalized to the difficulty of the dungeon, but retain their skills and glyph points. The selection of the dungeon is random.

It should be mentioned that the level of the player will be set to the minimum required level of the dungeon that he has been queued to. If the player gets queued to the level 20 dungeon Bastion of Lok the level of the player will be set to 20. The equalized gear that the player gets is far inferior to the gear, especially Avatar Weapons, that leveling players do acquire. Because the player will still have the high-level skills and glyphs the inferior gear is slightly compensated. But the main problem is that the Blast from the Past gear hardly does critical hits, which do by far more damage than normal hits.

Rewards

 * Upon completing the dungeon a player will be rewarded with a Time Travelers Badge, which can be exchanged for useful items and gear.
 * Players can roll for/pick up all gear that low-level players are able to. It is recommended to have low-level players take those items, since they are almost useless for a high-level player.
