All the Crater Crasher markers have been discovered, and we are now back to the usual futile attempt to find the stand-alone markers. There will be some confusion this month as we missed two from last month. For now, all stand-alone markers should be listed from this current patch unless we get developer confirmation that a marker was added in April.

I have used Cell Converter and MakeMeAMap. The only changes shown on actual land are in Baishi (new PvP thing), Zaik (new quest), and a large area of the direlands near the crystalline crag. I have not yet investigated this big change, but I assume it has something to do with either the new Zaik quest or the updates at the Crag. It is possible that a new marker is hidden there, as the area is 14 large landblocks. However, AC explorer shows no existing POIs of any kind in this area, nor do I recall any being there.

That area is the exit of the Crystalline Portal (130+) dungeon. No exploration markers in it.

I am fairly sure the freebooter keep marker is new to this month, it is unlikely I would have missed it last patch when I was scanning for markers at the keep. I have placed it under may until a dev comment tells me to do otherwise, or someone can confirm they saw it in april. --An Adventurer 15:22, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

99.9% sure the ones in Beach Fort and Linthe are new this patch. Checked both areas last time, but since I'm using the "[" keys, I might have missed them. --Sanddh 21:36, 22 May 2009 (CET)

I am out of ideas on where to look for the remaining two. The only thing I can think of is looking at the total marker map, there are a few spots that lack any markers. These areas include: most of the A'mun Desert, the Yushad Ridge, the Blackmire Swamp, the grasslands between the Yushad and the snowflake mountains, the Tiofor Woods, the Halaetan Isles and the wooded/plateau area around danby's. There is of course nothing that states the devs want to evenly distribute markers across the land, but I don't have any better ideas.

As for the two markers from last month, I still think one of them might be related to Grael, but as you can see from the checked locations, Grael related POIs are all but exhausted. --An Adventurer 15:51, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Checking Grael & Mukkir dungeons --Sanddh 15:08, 1 May 2009 (CET)

Seems to me, the Markers are in far more "dangerous" places then last patches. And for the first time, one which needs "flagging" (the DI one). Also (See map), the Markers are more on the outer borders of Dereth. I'm out of Mukkir/Grael clues. So will start checking "dangerous" area POIs, on Caul, Isle of Ruins, Vissidal, Linthe etc. --Sanddh 14:36, 3 May 2009 (CET)

It looks like we have 4 Grael locations found, and 3 non-themed locations found. I'd assume the following: There is at least 1 more grael location, bringing the total to 5. There is no official theme, because there are not enough markers left for 5 themed ones.

I have not yet spent time looking for markers because I am still a little burned out from the last few batches. I think the exterior map locations is a good theme to go with. Caul, the Halaetans, and Vissidal are all places I would check. They also all have a few Grael themed locations, some of which may still be unchecked. --An Adventurer 13:24, 5 May 2009 (CDT)

The Tusker Island one, near drop, might be another pattern? Since the Vaeshok one is near DI drop, the new ML one next to the drop from Danby? Island drops? Checked Linthe from top to bottom, but nogo. Though I'm using the item search keys, so might have missed one. And yah.. I'm slightly burned out too... --Sanddh 22:26, 5 May 2009 (CET)
