| | Text = If Turbine is following a pattern, every other month has themed markers. There were several titles added during the month the quest was introduced. Several were the generic explorer titles for finding X number of markers, and the others were the theme reward titles. The only two possible theme titles left from that first patch are Daredevil and Spelunker.
| |
|
| |
| I can guess that Spelunker either means inside caves (the landscape object) or inside dungeons. Going on that plus the ulgrim hints, I went to his island and checked out his dungeon, but didn't find a marker.
| |
|
| |
| I really don't know what Daredevil could be, other than dangerous locations, or locations involving heights/jumps.

| |
|
| |
| This would mean, however, a break in the pattern of themed-no/themed markers. Until now we had (trying to summarize :) ):
| |
| # Mountain Climber (5 themed) - January Patch
| |
| # Amateur Explorer (20 Markers found) - February Patch
| |
| # Party Goer (5 themed) - March Patch
| |
| # Experienced Explorer (40 Markers found) - April Patch
| |
| # Crater Crasher (5 themed) - May Patch
| |
| # Adept Explorer (60 Markers found) - June Patch
| |
|
| |
| This leaves (undiscovered titles from portal.dat of January Patch):
| |
| # Daredevil, Sky Diver or Spelunker - July Patch
| |
| # Master Explorer (80 found?) - August Patch
| |
| # Daredevil, Sky Diver or Spelunker - Sept. Patch
| |
| # Elite Explorer (100 found?) - October Patch
| |
|
| |
| The one in the Cave for the PT Olthoi Queen just screams for the "Spelunker" theme, but nogo. The Iceberg one also refers to spelunking...
| |
|
| |
| Now, with the Crater Crasher theme, the one in the Aerlinthe Caldera was also screaming to be a "themed" one, but it was not.
| |
| So my wild guess at this moment the theme is "Spelunking", but what keeps the title-message from popping up?
| |
| Until now, we had none at all in dungeons. But both the Iceberg one and the PT Cave suggest it *is* possible for a marker to show up in "open access" dungeons.
| |
| Just a few ideas which immediately come to mind to this sort of dungeons:
| |
| * Sword of Bellenesse
| |
| * Small Mukkir Slayers (Fledgling Mukkir Nests)
| |
| * Deru Tree
| |
| * Snake Tunnels (Radiant Mana Infusion)
| |
| * Tracing the Stone dungeon in GY
| |
| * Both "Deep"s (ok, small spelunks, but still)
| |
| * The Tusker Emporium on AL
| |
| * Old Scratchy's Cave
| |
|
| |
| If anyone remembers by heart where there were more of the "open access" dungeons.. I'm gonna start with the ones I listed.

| | Text = Well Spelunker is the theme this month. I think it will be pretty hard considering the one known spelunker marker is deep within a dungeon. Now, since spelunking literally means exploring caves, should we limit ourselves to the natural cave-like dungeons or not? There are some obvious dungeons that would be good to check like Adventurer's Haven and Subway, but they are not natural cave structures.
| |
|
| |
| edit: And would olthoi dungeons be considered natural caves? Some place like the bottom of the Black Death Catacombs or deep in the Catacombs of Opposition (Olthoi Hunter Town) would be a good location for a marker.

| | Text = Looks like my hunch was a good one. I found a marker in the BDC deeper catacombs. I did a partial check of the BDC and the Catacombs of opposition, but I didn't find anything and wouldn't expect to with the marker I found.
| |
|
| |
| With the spelunker markers found so far, it looks like any dungeon could have a marker - its not limited to caves/natural dungeons, or original dungeons, or anything.
| |
|
| |
| I have no idea where to check. But, if I had to start somewhere, I might go with dungeons in the a'mun desert or the blackmire swamp, since those areas are the most barren on the overall marker map.
