==== Discussion ==== {{Post | Indent = | To = | Text = None of the themed markers for this update have been found - if there is a theme this time. Last month we had 5 themed and 5 not. Looking at the list of unused titles added in Shifting Tactics, the following could be themes to look for: # Daredevil - Hard to reach places that require difficult jumps or are surrounded by creatures. Or evil/shadowy places, focusing on the "devil" # Spelunker - underground in caves/dungeons # Party Goer - Festival grounds/festival stones/casinos/chess/mini games # Crater Crasher - crater sites - old shadow spire locations, the major volcanos, OP, all the craters in the south direlands --[[User:An Adventurer|An Adventurer]] 13:59, 11 February 2009 (CST) }} {{Post | Indent = : | To = | Text = Update: I was able to locate the slaughterhouse and saadia's retreat locations using the MakeMeAMap program. I do not see any other landscape locations using this method. Now, last month, 3 of the locations evaded detection from cell.dat cracks - perhaps turbine has found out what caused this and is able to reproduce it. Or perhaps it merely happened again by coincidence. My thoughts are that this month the theme is underground - that is, dungeons. I would guess there is still 1 landscape marker, but it is not being picked up by the mapping program. I have an idea on what dungeons to check. The location near Plateau village is where one buys the key used in the Inner Dungeon near Plateau. And another location is outside Saadia's Retreat. Both the Inner Dungeon and Saadia's Retreat are dungeons from the Explorer/Walking Boots quest. It may be a good idea to check the 20 alloy piece dungeons. --[[User:An Adventurer|An Adventurer]] 15:54, 11 February 2009 (CST)<br><br>edit: I updated the [[Undead Mechanic Quest]] with a location map + dungeon map links --[[User:An Adventurer|An Adventurer]] 16:23, 11 February 2009 (CST) }} {{Post | Indent = :: | To = | Text = I just finished my check of the alloy dungeons. After thoroughly exploring all 20 dungeons I did not find any explorer markers. The good news is I have all the alloy pieces and can finish the guide for the undead mechanic quest. The bad news is I am unsure of where to check next. --[[User:An Adventurer|An Adventurer]] 21:22, 13 February 2009 (CST) }} {{Post | Indent = ::: | To = | Text = I found the 6th marker, and it did not belong to a set. I would guess that the remaining 4 do not belong to a set either. I'm going to stop searching by theme now. --[[User:An Adventurer|An Adventurer]] 19:37, 14 February 2009 (CST) }} {{Post | Indent = :::: | To = | Text = With the 7th Marker, can't help but notice we got 3 Markers very well hidden on towers/structures/forts (can't be seen from outside), 3 directly near dungeons, and 1 near portals (the SE Dire Crater one). Can't see a theme to neither the tower structures nor the dungeons, but going to check Towers & forts, if I find the time. The tusker one is btw the first one not on the mainland, which means not just mainland POIs are candidates for Markers... sigh. And there's lots of Towers & dungeons in Dereth... --[[User:Sanddh|Sanddh]] 1:37, 16 February 2009 (CET) }} {{Post | Indent = ::::: | To = | Text = I can see a lot of patterns that apply to 2 or 3 of them, but each new marker found adds new patterns or breaks old ones. I would say that most of the patterns are not intentional, and it is just the human brain doing what it does best. But here at the patterns I see: * 3 or 4 are just outside of themed dungeons. Saadia's Reatreat - Walking Boots dungeon. Brood Hive - Olthoi Armor dungeon. Izji Qo's temple - falatacot temple quest dungeon. Tusker Gauntlet - it is not a theme like tusker tusks, but there is the general theme of tusker hunting dungeons on those isles. * 5 are near points from last month. Slaughterhouse is near the teth mountain. Plateau is near Lake Lithanen. Brood hive is near the olthoi north cliff. Saadia's is near the Lin mountain. Tusker gauntlet is near Dryreach. In fact, Izji Qo's temple is also not far from Teth. The only one from this month that isn't near an old one is the SE dires crater - it is pretty far away from withered beach. * 2 are in towers - slaughterhouse and plateau. * All the markers are in outer areas - there are none in the central area of dereth. But like I said, each new one found makes coming up with a theme more difficult. The Crater ruined the nearby old markers idea. Tusker ruined the mainland only, and the dungeon markers belonging to a set of themed dungeons. --[[User:An Adventurer|An Adventurer]] 15:31, 16 February 2009 (CST) }} {{Post | Indent = | To = | Text = On Feb 25th NoWorries posted the following clue for the two markers that remain unfound: :Both remaining markers are near portals :Both markers come very close to making equilateral triangles with other markers :Both of these triangles would share an already found marker to make these triangles, yet one of the remaining markers is currently on snow and one is not. And at both markers you can see water. --[[User:An Adventurer|An Adventurer]] 16:35, 25 February 2009 (CST) }} {{Post | Indent = : | To = | Text = For anyone interested, using perfect equilateral triangles, with 18 markers available, I count 306 possible unique triangles that can be drawn. For some of these, the 3rd point would be off the game map, in the ocean, or otherwise unreachable. More would not be near water. But that is still a lot of possible locations, especially when NoWorries said "very close to making equilateral triangle" which leaves some room to slide points around. My math was (17 * 2) + (16 * 2) + (15 * 2) + (14 * 2) + (13 * 2) + (12 * 2) + (11 * 2) + (10 * 2) + (9 * 2) + (8 * 2) + (7 * 2) + (6 * 2) + (5 * 2) + (4 * 2) + (3 * 2) + (2 * 2) + (1 * 2) = 306 --[[User:An Adventurer|An Adventurer]] 00:14, 26 February 2009 (CST) }} {{Post | Indent = : | To = | Text = I've generated a small map that shows the currently snow covered areas. The markers don't stand out as well on it, but maybe it'll help. --[[User:Widgeon|Widgeon]] 08:17, 26 February 2009 (CST) }} {{Post | Indent = | To = | Text = Originally Posted by NoWorries on Feb 27, 2009 :The portals the remaining markers are near are green. :One and only one of the coordinates is less then 10. }}
