Talk:Dereth Exploration

It looks like this quest will be updated in future events. We should use the talk page for checked locations --An Adventurer 13:41, 13 January 2009 (CST)

Shifting Tactics Checked Locations

Update: I've ran a Cell.dat converter and MakeMeAMap, and I do not see any new changes on the landscape - this is after I had already visited the 7 locations. I know its "cheating", but I think the ACVault staff did the same thing - that would explain why they had the first 7 listed so quickly but have made no progress since then. Regardless, I do not think there are any more markers left to be found on the surface - I think the remaining 3 are underground. One thing I am unsure of, though, is if the inside of bunkers, houses, and such are located within the same landblock as their outside structure. If not, the 3 remaining markers could be inside landscape POIs --An Adventurer 15:12, 13 January 2009 (CST)

scratch that, I just tried the same thing on a fresh copy of this month's cell.dat from my laptop, and I do not see any landscape changes on that one either. So the remaining two can be outside. --An Adventurer 15:54, 13 January 2009 (CST)

The NPC talks about themes, I guess this month's theme is mountain climbing. The question is, how many markers are themed.. since there are 5 mountain climb markers found, and 4, well, I can't really see a theme in it? Been running around between Baishi and Q'al, haven't found anything, but well, Alinco doesn't pick them up, GoArrow's find-function only when you are really near, and they are harder to spot than the gift boxes of last patch. So I do wonder how 8 of them popped up relatively quickly on AC Vault? And how was the 9th found? Please help a by now rather frustrated explorer :) -- Sanddh 14:30, 14 January 2009 (CET)

@Sanddh, they used the graphac/mapac as well. It shows the landblock changes for most of the markers. -- Quanta 15:05, 14 January 2009 (EST)

My guestimation is that there are 5 mountain climber markers and 5 "miscllaneous" markers. I have no justification for this, other than that it's symmetrical. There have been two markers in the north mountains, two in the south, one in the n dires mountains, and the other markers in north/central Osteth. I'd guess that the remaining marker is also somewhere in this area - perhaps between Lake Lithanen and the Obsidian Span. -- Quanta 12:38, 14 January 2009 (EST)
