Battle Class room = Shadow Rath Castle?

I noticed that all the battle classes are considered Shadow Missions and the arena is the interior of Rath Castle but with one orb and all the zone exits are barred. Orbs and impassible obstacles in front of zone exits are a common sight in the Shadow Realm, which seems to fit a theory that players are in the Shadow Realm when doing the quest. Should it be categorized with Shadow Rath Castle missions?

First of all, theorem in general is pointless and stupid. There is no concrete evidence. Second of all, they had to use somewhere for the battle class to be held, doesn't necessarily mean it takes place in the actual Shadow Rath Castle. Through DevCAT's eyes they'd rather create new areas for more important things than a tutoril-type area most people won't do because they know most people are foolish enough to ignore battle tactics... But to be honest, all missions that aren't in Avon are considered Shadow Missions. Even the G15 pirate ships which do not take place in the Shadow Realm.

You mean theories? And there's nothing wrong with giving a guess...

Though, I am against categorizing them with Rath Castle Shadow missions. Maybe if there was a category for shadow missions taking place IN Shadow Rath Castle. But as the current category stands, it's all only the shadow missions one can receive in Tara's Shadow Mission board, and were released with G11 (I think), neither which applies to the tutorial shadow missions. It's probably better to separate those two into their own categories.

Theories isn't a real word. Theory is already plural. Theorem is singular.

That, I didn't know. Though I thought "theorem" referred to already-proven ideas.

The word you're supposed to be using is "hypothesis" actually... A theory is something already proven time and again.

Anyway, I don't think these should be considered shadow missions, and they should not be categorized there.

It is a shadow mission, if you selected it and go to any alter, you will be brought to the room.

Ah, right right, hypothesis. That sounds much better.

No, these are actually shadow missions, once one opens up their quest window they can see something like "Course 1 Class 2" or something like that, but I do remember it has the Shadow Mission mark on it.

Though, I really don't think you can go to it via an altar...as soon as you click the Beginner Training mission course, it warps you there.

You can say the same about the G15 boat rides. No they aren't in the Shadow Realm so they shouldn't be classified as Shadow Missions.
