Update: I've ran a Cell.dat converter and MakeMeAMap, and I do not see any new changes on the landscape - this is after I had already visited the 7 locations. I know its "cheating", but I think the ACVault staff did the same thing - that would explain why they had the first 7 listed so quickly but have made no progress since then. Regardless, I do not think there are any more markers left to be found on the surface - I think the remaining 3 are underground. One thing I am unsure of, though, is if the inside of bunkers, houses, and such are located within the same landblock as their outside structure. If not, the 3 remaining markers could be inside landscape POIs --An Adventurer 15:12, 13 January 2009 (CST)
: scratch that, I just tried the same thing on a fresh copy of this month's cell.dat from my laptop, and I do not see any landscape changes on that one either. So the remaining two can be outside. --An Adventurer 15:54, 13 January 2009 (CST)
The NPC talks about themes, I guess this month's theme is mountain climbing. The question is, how many markers are themed.. since there are 5 mountain climb markers found, and 4, well, I can't really see a theme in it? Been running around between Baishi and Q'al, haven't found anything, but well, Alinco doesn't pick them up, GoArrow's find-function only when you are really near, and they are harder to spot than the gift boxes of last patch. So I do wonder how 8 of them popped up relatively quickly on AC Vault? And how was the 9th found? Please help a by now rather frustrated explorer :) -- Sanddh 14:30, 14 January 2009 (CET)
: The ninth marker was found by a player on Leafcull, who announced it on general chat and then I added it to the wiki. Another player had been asking if anyone had checked Linvak, so I guess somebody finally did check. --Widgeon 03:10, 15 January 2009 (CST)
@Sanddh, they used the graphac/mapac as well. It shows the landblock changes for most of the markers. -- Quanta 15:05, 14 January 2009 (EST)
: Strange then, that at least the Linvak did not show up that way... or one of the others, if I understand Adventurer right. Since until now, all Markers have been on the surface. And for the second theme, if any, if the Dryreach hadn't been there, I would have thought it being "water", since the Holt, the Lake one and the Obsidian Spawn are all near water. But alas... Dryreach is quite, well.. dry. However, I will give it a try, and my next project will be running along River Prosper from beginning to end I guess..... -- Sanddh 21:25, 14 January 2009 (CET)
My guestimation is that there are 5 mountain climber markers and 5 "miscllaneous" markers. I have no justification for this, other than that it's symmetrical. There have been two markers in the north mountains, two in the south, one in the n dires mountains, and the other markers in north/central Osteth. <redacted, don't want to lead people down a possibly incorrect path> -- Quanta 12:38, 14 January 2009 (EST)
Has anyone searched the southern landbridge? I looked on the isle of tears and in some of the desert mountains... --Belwyvair 18:29, 14 January 2009 (CST)
: Possibly, but I find it interesting that SPD says to look "on, above and below Dereth." Taken literally, this would mean that there are markers either below sea level or in dungeons. So, the remaining marker could fit into the "below" category, or the NPC may just be referring to markers to come in future months. -- Quanta 23:45, 14 January 2009 (EST)
:: Interesting idea, also because the new titles in the patch tree, which unfortunately don't have any further references, indicate this above (Mountain Climber, Sky Diver) and below (Spelunker). But the Mountain Climber Markers give a special message, the other ones do not, so I guess they are "theme-less". Anyone tested other "almost unclimbable" Mountains? Such as Caul, Obsidian Rim, and VoD?-- Sanddh 7:01, 15 January 2009 (CET)
::: Great point. So are we ruling out sky diver and spelunker as future titles, and that the remaining marker is likely part of the mountain climber series? I spent last night running around the Alphus Range (Mt. Alphus, Mt. Syliph, etc) and ran from my house by the yaraq hall of metos up to al-jalima. Then I ran around in the Tiofor Woods which seems to be below sea level. Tonight I will run from Samsur to Uziz to Khayyaban. --Belwyvair 09:47, 15 January 2009 (CST)
Has anyone been able to tie this rumor from Ulgrim to a marker, if not it could be a clue to the last one:
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh yeah, I saw Speedy Sean coming through here, marking targets for his map quest. I'll let you in on a secret, since you were so obliging with this mug of stout. He marked the back of Claude's mask. Yep, you're going to have to scalp that old trickster to finish the task." --Bjorny 22:44, 15 January 2009 (GMT)
: Also this one: 17:36:07 Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "The Dereth Explorers Society is marking the island for map-toting adventurers, eh? I've marked parts of Dereth, too. I figure old Berkholt's stout has seen most of this island, one way or the other." --I checked Berkholt out for rumors, and one of the old rumors for the Strange Swamp Temple says "For those of an adventurous mind. I have been asked to explore a new structure found in the Direland Swamps. I am told that it lies somewhere near 41.5s, 49.5w. I will have set an Explorer Society Marker at this location if you wish to follow in my footsteps." --I ran around and to those coords, but just found old quest material. No marker.--Belwyvair 17:43, 15 January 2009 (CST)
