Move the levers at 22, 2, 13, 18 - each one opens a gate in north at 27 , then you can use the staircase at 28 to proceed to the summoning level (use a small teleporter pad there).

Ok, here is another map with a bit more explanation about how to open all the doors. If you need more help, just let me know...

27 are 4 gates, they have to be opened with the levers I described.

At 16 => the door opens if you put a yellow and a red gem into the statue there. Click on it and an inventory will open. The red and yellow gems for this are at 14 and 3. The hole with 2 yellow gems and a lot of bones requite patience. Just grab in there about 13x, then you've got them. Chuck out the bones then.

The locked door at 11 is ok - you have to get the 2nd summoning quest. then Tax will give you key for this locked door.

As you used the rope downwards => you have been in the summoning level. Go up the rope and then take the door south. You're in this level then

at number 2. Just go south and you meet Ankhumar.

i thk i can see what the problem is here;

Is pipes lvl 2 the same place as academy lvl 2 ???

I have done everything i can in pipes lvl1 which is where i am just now so what i really need is directions on how to get to academy lvl 2 plzz

Then i assume i need to go get that "summoning quest".

lol looks like some how i missed an entire floor <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

No, pipes 2 is the 2nd level of the maintenance tunnels - if you use the rope in Nixfix's room => you get to Academy lvl 2 => the summoning level. this might be the one you missed. If you simply go a bit south, after you have climbed up the rope from Nixfix => you can go through a door and meet Raanaar Elder Ankhumar. Get a quest there - and from then on, you can explare this whole level and receive 3 major summoning quests and a few sub quests.

Kiya

I'll try to explain, ok?
- your starting level - where you got 3 entry tests - from there on you went one level down (taking the SE exit)
- into the pipes 1 (maintenance tunnels 1)- the first level => from this level you take the NE exit where the stairs are and get to a small teleporter pad room, leading UP to Academy, level 2 => the summoning level
- from the summoning level (Academy 2) you can go down to pipes 1, via rope


- from pipes 1 you can take the exit NW and get the stairs to pipes 2 (maintenance tunnels 2)
- another way to get to the pipes 2 from pipes 1 is by getting a key from Tax and unlocking the door, so you can use the stairway down to pipes 2. BUT! In order to get this key, you need to have the 2nd summoning test. In order to get this test, you must have solved the 1st summoning test.
