It's been noted that ventures into the realm of the "Shadow Lairs" has had mixed results. It seems that beginning at 23 with nothing collected is much harder then if you were to have a good load of vita, vials, and health caps. Unfortunately collecting these much needed and useful items makes for a very long crusade.
In the future if you have a key and plan on a venture into the SL levels, you will have the option to call on your fellow Guild Mates to form what will be called an "Alpha Squad". These knights will then do levels prior to 23 in hopes of collecting the necessary items desired to make your expensive trip go smooth, and hopefully make it less expensive.
The key to this operation is planning. The levels before 23 will take an hour to collect the things you need, so advance notice is required. When the Alpha Squad reaches level 23, your SL party will be called in to replace the Alpha's with what items they can provide for you. The party that will do the actual Shadow lairs will be called the "Omega Squad".
So in the future, if someone asks if you want to be in an Omega Squad, it means they intend on taking you to the Shadow Lairs after an Alpha Squad has given you supplies.
Like wise, if someone calls out for an Alpha Squad, it means they need 4 brave knights to do what is normally called a T3 Basil run.
If you can join this party and have the time, please do. Some day you may be in an Omega squad and need an Alpha squad to assist you in the same way.
