Mage Epic 2.0 Research & Discussion

Fighters found their fourth hidden cache in which they obtained the actual quest start. Assuming ours follows the same trend then it is absolutely a prereq and we must locate our own hidden caches

 

Weird that we and the scouts have found nothing atm. Priests are on their second I think...
Some priest was speculaing about Mage/Scout/Priest only spells... See Invis for us then I take it.
I'll go out searching... again *sigh*

 

Fighter :
Butcherblock
Great Divide
Phantom Seas
Withered Lands

Priest :
Nek
Ant
Commonlands

Is there any logic behind this?

 

There maybe no logic, but that in itself is information. since there is no rhyme or reason, other than the fact that neither Fighter or Priest share the same zone.
Need City Quest to see the Caves.
There is a Cave in a place where there once was none.
There are items in the caves that need to be done in a specific order as well as the Caves themselves.
Just need to find the First Cave for Us.

 

Now that we know the pre-req to finding our "cache", do we have a list of which zones have been searched (I would say by at least 2 mages to make sure nothing gets missed)?

 

I have searched Thundering Steppes Twice and nothing

 

I've done:
Lavastorm, Commonlands, Darklight Woods, Loping Plains, Greater Faydark, Butcherblock, New Tunaria...

Ok, it's better to list the ones I have not done yet..
Ethernere, Everfrost, Erollis, Mara, Velious, Thalumbra, Moors and Overrealm.

Heading to Lesser Faydark and ??? next...

Doing it alone though so might have missed stuff.

Edit: Nothing in SS, Pillars, Steamfront and Kunzar Jungle...

 

Checked:

EL (Double) RV TS(Double) CL NF Ant FP Lava Feerott

 

maybe we have to have infravision on or something or see invis

 

Have done it with See Invis... no luck.

Still find it weird that Fighters and Priests found theirs so quick while us and scouts have found nothing at all...

 

Starting to wonder if mages enter their hidden areas through a different means or from different contested areas (not just outdoor areas)?

 

I've noticed so far:

1. The current discovered caches are in overland zones
2. The caches tend to be on towards the outer edge of the map (Great Divide - Fighter is an exception as well as maybe the Withered Lands one)

It might be easier to cover the outer parts of the overland zones first before doing an extensive search through the entire zone. There is a possibility for the scout and/or mage one to follow a different setup, this is just what I am seeing so far.

 

I'll start running dungeons. Better than aimless flying around.

Yep, noticed the same thing.

 

Zek checked

 

A sealed door in North Freeport Academy of Arcane Science. Text "Passage is forbidden" is written in Words of Shade language. mb this can help us somehow

 

Mages checked ATM:

Ant
Barren Sky
Bonemire
CL
EF
EL 3x
Everforst
Feerott
FP
Lava
LS
NF
Moors
SS
RV
TS 3x
TT
Vesypr
Zek

 

That leaves how many?

 

all zones with 3x was tripple checked all other zones think minimum double checked

 

Did anyone else get mail from Vence Laden? I got one recently that says "As I mentioned before, it is now time for me to leave. It was a pleasure working with you, an an amazing thing to watch you take care of Phrotis. Perhaps we will see each other again some day." It has 20 days left on it. I don't know when I got it because I don't really pay attention to my mail. I only looked because I wanted to see if I got the mail from the Queen.
