Hi there, it been 2 months sence I have gained the 2 Star gear and I want to go to Tier 2. Its says I have to go to the Hall Of Heroes and get permision form someone. I know its not in Town Square because I looked everywhere! Umm I don't know if this will help but I have been on sprial knights for a year (I joined on 5/8/2011) and that was before Three Rings/Sega added you know the Quests or Missons whatever. Thanks!

Simply start that mission again - it won't cost you any energy. Go upwards and talk to the guy in front of the gate.
