Pioneering Granado Espada

Lightning Gate, aka Silent Maze, is accessible via Rio Albi (E7, channel 1). The gate can be opened with 1 Lightning Orb, and stays open for 10 minutes. There will be zone-wide notices when the gate is opened, when the gate will be closed in 5 minutes, and when the gate has closed. See also Wiki of the New World and [HR] Gate of Lightning Guide. You may use /where command in chat window to find your current coordinates.
 
There are several routes through the maze. The following route picture is taken from 闪电门1-2层图文并茂并附上老版本练级地图. Click on images for full-size views. Use the 2nd picture if you prefer to navigate using the gate colors.

At start point (35000,-35000) of 1st floor, turn around to enter the gate behind you at coordinates (37000,-35000). Enter the gate to the next room, and kill Elite Einbint to spawn more gates. Repeat and follow the route (see first image above) until the last room, where you have to kill Elite Einapt instead. If you get lost, you can use Teleport Scroll to move yourself back to the start point at (35000, -35000).

At start point (41000,-30000) of 2nd floor, turn around to enter the gate behind you at coordinates (40000,-28000). Enter the gate to the next room, and kill Elite Einapt to spawn more gates. Repeat and follow the route (see first image above) until the last room, where you have to kill Einapt Chieftain instead. Einapt Chieftain will re-spawn 45 minutes after death. Using Teleport Scroll in 2nd floor will move yourself to either the start point at (41000, -30000) or another room (-40000, -30000) where you will need to enter the gate at (-40000, -28000) to reach the 4th room in the route above.

From start point in the Sanctuary, run straight forward to the very end. Clear the mobs and wait for Einwind to spawn. The boss can heal itself and cast [Enchantment Arm]. Einwind will re-spawn 28 hours after death. Maintenance does not reset its timer.
