Picking up the Pieces

Found Markers

Discussion

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.

5 Markers found, no title hint yet. Either this means some (up to 3) of the markers are actually from last patch, or (coincidentally) only the none-title ones have been found, or there is no theme.

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.
