Salvage Maps

[Tyche]

I see a lack in maps for salvage, but i'm not a moderator (although an LS mate is moderating the salvage section). Just saying that i'll be more than happy to help to shop some of the maps to speed the process up. Just let me know if you would like me to, and if so, which maps.

Someone in the Salvage threads (Wizerd maybe?) mentioned that they intended to do all the maps I think. If it's the same as the ones already there for 1f Bhaflau/SS they are very nice and incredibly detailed, but maybe something came up to where they can't finish?

The format in which to do the maps isn't a problem. I can adapt to whatever format they want to use for mobs/portals/color variations, whatever. I just really hate going to the "otherwiki" because some of the maps aren't complete and I usually cannot remember exactly where the lamia whatever on X Floor is.

Whoever made the maps so far has done a really good job imo. They look very slick and aren't cluttered with every single bit of cell drop/floor info like some of the old ones.

Xiani's been making the maps so far and it's taking her a little while to get them done and look good.

Yeah, sorry for the delay in the maps. I've been busy with portfolio work during the day, then doing assaults/salvage at night. I have Arapaggo floor 1 and 2 done, I just wanted to run them by Geno first to make sure it looks ok. Just.. keep getting side tracked.

I do them late at night after Salvage/before bed, or while I'm waiting for Salvage. They take about an hour+ because of how picky I am at getting things right. I should be finished the first part of my portfolio tomorrow, so I should have more time to get them done. That and some areas don't have all the information I need, so I either have to write it down myself (mobs/numbers/etc). But when you only do the same paths over and over, it leaves blank spots.

Also, thank you. Glad to know people like them. >>;

You might want to watermark them so they don't get stolen by Otherwiki.

[Leashedragon]

I was actually thinking about that when I heard images were being ripped. And certain info as well?

No real big deal. Ok, maybe a bit. Damn it I really didn't wanna upload another version just for a watermark. XD

I did intend to do the maps for the wiki, but I've been pretty busy recently, and after talking to Xiani, I stopped working on them since she's making them anyway.

I disagree with the idea that the maps should have only mob placement, since half the reason people look at the maps is to find out where their cells are - not the mobs (all except Silver Seas anyway). However, the maps are nice. They were a bit hard to read at first, but the grey background where mobs are placed is nice.

Anyway, Xiani if you need any help with amounts of mobs on any given path or any bit of Salvage information, I can tell you any of it from memory, sans-Zhayolm 5F. Everyone always passes through 5F Zhayolm using flee or MGS tactics, so I don't think it's really common knowledge how many gears are there. Aurik outlined the first two rooms pretty well at some point, there are maps somewhere I think.
