Mapping of realm zones?

[Depape]

I was searching around a bit for maps with mob locations, especially for Midgard, but had not much luck. Soooo, I got and idea to try to crank up some maps myself

Test of my first try can be found at:

Now, I'd like to know:

- would you people be interested in this kind of maps at all?
- would some of you help me with them? I'd mostly need the help with mob locations

Definitely need more maps like that for Midgard

There's some great ones for most of Hibernia up here and of course there's Kirstena's Atlas for Albion ones but there's only a few Midgard ones there :/

Thing is that a truly useful mob location map needs to have pretty much *every* single mob spawn marked on it which is a big job... good luck with it Depape, if you managed it I'm sure it would be very useful for loads of people.

I belive I'd manage with few co-workers

The way it could work would be: few high enough characters should run through the zone and when locating mob spawn typing /loc and then sending me those coords

Daaaaaamn, that looks nice! Only thing that bothers me is that for some reason it looks very blurred

 

[Depape]

2 reasons:

- image re-sized to better fit browsers of people with smaller monitors (like me )

- to make text/captions on map more readable

Hey these forums have already proven their usefulness. The set of maps on the camelot forum is missing the hib - lough gur map.

Yup I have already gotten quite a few opinions on scout spec points and such.... plus this map was quite nice, although for albion Kirstena's will do just fine (printed most but then my printer ran out of ink).

Well, dunno bout other maps, but since I mostly play on Midgard now, it would be easier for me to do those.

Problem is, my char is too low to scout the more dangerous zones by himself - kinda hard typing /loc and noting down the coords while pounded on by purple monster

Hehe I believe it is... but I can't even begin to imagine how big of task it is to make a map of a zone

Not really methink... Here's how I think it could be done.

- first we decide which zone to map
- we get list of mobs in that zone from Illia's Bestiary
- we locate as many as possible coordinates of all mobs in that list
- we mark those locations on map
- done

Well unfortunately I don't play there and so don't have a high-level character, otherwise I'd gladly help

 

[old.tRoG]

nice... if this had all the mobs in a think i would kiss you

 

[Depape]

Will try my best... care to help?

 

[SFXman]

Hehe yeah... with mobs it would be a masterpiece. But there was this VERY VERY good map of Hibernia by a guy in the Celtic Fist. It was humongous in dimensions and very detailed. Forgot the address unfortunately but I have it on my HD.

You want bigger maps? I can make bigger maps! In fact, I just did

Go check it out now:

Hmm, yes very nice work. Well this is what I meant by the very very good map:

!WARNING! Over 2mb in size even though it is a jpg. !WARNING!

Very high detail map of Hibernia

Nice aint it
I couldn't find the link I originally got it from so I uploaded it onto my own website.

For any hibbies, here are monster spawn maps with levels for almost every zone.

Argh! I wish I had those maps when I started a ranger in hibbie land! I got so confused for not finding monsters of my level that I quit playing him for now.

Damn, that's a nice map of hibbie-land. Now I want something like that for Albion.

 

[Seyrcim]

If it's maps you want I suggest you have a look at
http://daoc.catacombs.com/map.cfm (maps over all zones of all realms)

or midgard with lvl5-20 questmobs (all aren't there and all mobs that has multiple spawnpoints doesn't have all of them put out)
