    Missions: Until it gets 5(?) plays it'll be under the 'review content' tab.

    Fighting Iconians: You can by reskinning an npc with one of the Iconian skins. (Herald Captain mobs fit the best for this imo)

    Go to the foundry page, where you select "Spotlight Missions" or "All Missions" (or something along those lines), there should a third option of "Review Missions". You will need to activate reviewing, it's somewhere on the same page.

    (Btw, you seem to be missing Capital Letters and all punctuation)

    Indeed, playtesting your own missions after publishing them is a common and highly recommended practice among authors, as BOffs, NPCs and mobs don't always behave the same ways in preview mode as they do in a published mission.

    Yeah, pathing data is what the NPCs use to find there way around and maps don't have it until publish.

    It's also useful to see how a mission's combat works using a developed character without a "Kill target" button equipped. :P

    If you're like me you can play Foundry missions using a level 60 character in preview. :p

    But that still doesn't give you a good idea since there are several glitches associated with preview mode. The biggest is the one that makes mobs relocate during combat...

    Also since your stuck as a lowbie higher level adventures just wont spawn enemies right - best to hop online and try it as a test.

    I /really/ wish they had an author only play mode on live for testing.
