Overview

Grandville is a high-level zone, appropriate mainly for level 40 to 50 villains, in City of Villains. Grandville represents the culmination of a villain's career, an epic zone featuring "Spider City", a huge Arachnos tower with a web-like supporting structure. Villains can get to Grandville via the Rogue Isles Ferry and Black Helicopter Line.

Arbiter Apolis, the trainer, is located in front of Lord Recluse's tower and statue, along with the Merit Vendor, Jetpack Quartermaster, Fortunata Fateweaver, and Elite Quartermaster. Grandville's only Broker, Wiggy the Brit, is nearby as well.

Exploration Badges

Overlord You've visited the beach outside the Grandville city walls, where Lord Recluse viciously repelled an invasion of Longbow landing craft.

Sewer Dweller A new low, even for a villain, you've stumbled through the very very bottom of Grandville in the area known as 'The Gutter.'

Guttersnipe Life at the bottom is rough, and after visiting Hobo Row in the Grandville's Gutter you can agree.

Master of the Airwaves Top of the world! You have climbed to the top of the radio tower in Grandville.

Passing Fab These underground tunnels are the only relatively safe way to get into the Fab. They are used as both an emergency exit from the Fab and as a method of sending in reinforcements straight from Grandville proper, should Longbow try to launch an offensive attack.

Image Crasher This large display screen fell off its holster after a particularly rough battle between Black Scorpion and Captain Mako. It was supposed to be fixed, but progress kept halting as workers became too distracted by the images on the screen.

Line Holder Arachnos stationed here are the first line of defense against any Arachnoids trying to break out of the Gutter. Arachnoids foolish enough to attempt an attack from above ground never succeed, though it's well known that most Arachnoids utilize their own underground tunnels to travel.

Gutter Bait These dangerous catwalks have resulted in a handful of Arachnos soldiers unwittingly falling into the depths of the Gutter, disappearing forever. At first, search and rescue missions were initiated to attempt to recover the missing soldiers, but were soon called off. Arachnos uses the disappearances as a valuable lesson on being alert during patrol.

Plaques

• Arachnos Rising IV: In The Gutter neighborhood, just outside the wall around Spider City. Coordinates (1729.5, -459, 1514.5)
• Arachnos Rising V: On the back side of the large tower in The Tangle neighborhood. Coordinates (2766, -340, 793)

Day Jobs

Pain Specialist Your expertise in surgery and understanding pain has earned you the Pain Specialist Day Job. Logging out in a Hospital will earn you a Regeneration Bonus, when you log back in, for a short time.

Pilot You have aided Arachnos by piloting its fliers, helping Lord Recluse better mobilize his troops, earning you the Pilot Day Job. Logging out near a Black Helicopter will earn you a Speed Bonus, when you log back in, for a short time.

Monitor Duty Your time spent protecting your Supergroup's base has earned you the Monitor Duty Day Job. Logging out in your Supergroup base will earn you a Prestige bonus, when you log back in, each time you complete a mission for a short time.

Smuggler You spend your free time smuggling in illicit black market goods earning you the Smuggler Day Job. Logging out near a ferry will earn you a random enhancement, upon each mission completion, for a short time.

Arachnos Official Your time spent working with the Arachnos Arbiters has earned you the Arachnos Official Day Job. Logging out in Grandville will earn you Jetpack power, when you log back in, for a short time.
