Area discussion

[Rocl]

Not sure if this has been brought up earlier, but has anyone else noticed how many caves that lead to nothing there are in Grauberg? There's at least 4-5. Possible future zone lines to an underground area?

Here's one of the caves at the top of the mountain in Grauberg, it's on the far right of the pic.

Did you happen to check and see what level wyverns those were? If they're a decent level they may prove to be a nice alternative to Riverne B01 for Blue Mages to get Radiant Breath from, as right now that particular spell is proving to be a real thorn in my side.

They're VT to 75, just go to Kuftal or Ifrit's Cauldron with a 75 or something

I can't, or would have.

I am just judging by the style of the maps, but Everbloom being confirmed in a mission dialog near sandy gets that one.

Silvermines just screams Bastok, and looks like Gusgen viewed through an acid trip.

Ghoyus just looks like it would fit right onto the Shakrami map.

[Zerolon]

I think they might be able to be access in a future update from these.

There's a door like this in West S., E. Ron, and N. Gusta. They don't have any purpose and each one looks as if it's a viable option for a future opening.

Meri Mountains, up near the Boyahda zone has a yagudo styled Door to nowhere.

Didn't check in Pashow, but I saw in Jugner another "door" that wasn't actually a door and didn't go to a pre-existing zone.

Isn't that where the entrance to Palborough Mines would be? I seem to remember someone asking in an interview if Giddeus, Palborough Mines, and Ghelsba Outpost would be accessible in the past and we were told yes, but it wouldn't be right away. I would assume that's what these doors are for. The only one that doesn't line up is E.Ronfaure/Ghelsba since Ghelsba is accessed from W.Ronfaure. What position is the E.Ronfaure door? Maybe it's a placeholder for Ranguemont Pass?

No that's not at the P Mines entrance, it's just north of the OP in N Gusta S

Well then, I have no idea.

[Max™]

The one in Saruta is near where the Giddeus BCNM spits you out.

In Ronfaure it isn't the Ranguemont thing, which is a big sheer wall/gate.

theres one of those door type structures up in rolanberry fields too, you have to go through crawlers nest and back into rolanberry, where the two lakes are (same part of rolanberry where Roc is isnt it?) i dont think i have ever been there in normal rolanberry zone as i dont do HNM etc and somehow ended up there exploring in the past. I remember I targetted the door and it was called fortification i think - wouldnt that mean they are just part of campaign battles?

[Kyreth]

We've had a lot of "next door" zones- the Fort, the Inlet, etc. Perhaps these are as well?

[BRP]

Couldn't they be related to the Campaign Ops assignments that involve defending a location?

[Sagacious Sundi]

Reverie could be Atomos since it basically means "being in a dream". Then again, Ghoyu could be a mithran name.

"Ghoyu's Reverie" makes me think of Balga's Dais, which I assume is a Yagudo "last" name (like Xicu or Xalmo) or perhaps something important in Yagudo religion. Would fit that virtually all Yagudo last names are two syllables and end in a vowel ("Mon" and "Taw" are the only exceptions, I think).

Also, didn't Rocl or someone say that were Orcs, Quadav, and Yagudo in Everbloom, Ruhotz, and Ghoyu's (respectively) in the .dats?

[Max™]

Well, that fits pretty well then all around huh.

Map style, quests mentioned, and the mob types, now to figure out what the hell actually goes on in there.

Yeah you're right
Orcs in Everbloom, Quadav in Ruhotz, Yagudo in Ghoyu's. I haven't checked since then- but I doubt it's changed.

[Kaylia]

Why Vunkerl Islet and Carpenter landing are the only maps that doesnt work with their relative position. >_> Central exit bring you far south, and botom exit bring you in the center.

[docvicious]

Since we don't really know much atm what if SE actually had the specific new zones appear in the future if that zone isn't controlled by beastmen, and that would add a whole new set of notorious monsters. I doubt they would do something like this period but if they did I could see it happening when the expansion is coming to a close.

[Stromgarde]

Atomos's zone is called "Walk of Echos"

There is also a door like that on the east side of Sauromugue, near where the old sabertooth for the RNG quest is. I went to see if it was there, but the area with the tigers is blocked off by a damn log.

Just to note, I don't remember being able to auto-translate Ghoyu's, Ruhotz, and Everbloom before the update, but I can now.

I know you can because last night during an assault, the leader went to say "<Good Job!> <Everyone>" and it came out "<Everbloom Hollow>" to a few chuckles and huh? responses.

Been like that since Monday or whenever that update w/ the rest of the zones was.
