Full Scale Sea Map for sailing

Zulah

Several people have asked if I still provide sea maps. As chops had changed since my old one I was in the process of creating a freshly updated one. Unfortunately due to some events of my own in game I won't be able to finish it right now. I hope to get back to it eventually but not for some time.

With the current interest of seafaring I decided to offer my 3/4th finished map to the public. Maybe someone else will take up finishing it. I hope to add the wilderness on the mainland too when I do get back to working on it. Two maps included. One shows wind direction on the sea. Enjoy, sorry for the not finished!

-(Really hoping they auto resize for browser since I'm going to post them full scale...)

I'm taking off on Vacation, but had already gotten a hold of Lynara's 3+ year old one and was debating whether to update it or start fresh.

If no one else is interesting in taking this on, I'll definitely give it a go.  I can't start on it though until the middle of June, so I'll wait and see if any one else is interested.

Awesome Job Zulah!

Around then is when I hope to finish it. Just busy with some other things right now and some in game things came up that effect my sailing. I was just hoping to release it for the plague event and since it wasn't finished yet. I figured most was more helpful than none

I am so glad I did not check this topic on my phone!

Zulah - I've done the southern portion of the main continent (safer than trying to sail right now and be mostly not paying attention). 

Gotta get to packing now. 

Zulah

@Czanthria Thanks! I actually had a few offers to assist with the ocean part.

My end game plan was to make an entire wilderness map and put it on one of my websites making it use some googlemaps code with clickables. Going to add clickable cities and harbors that bring up the help file for each. Someone else suggested we might put in some "zone overlays" that show the mobs and bashing levels for that zone. Got some code people interested in helping me including my own coding knowledge. Expecting the basic concept to be done in 1-2 months. I welcome any other ideas that people think would be useful to a player without giving away things they should learn in game (IE no showing trade deals, quests, special zones like UW..)

@Zulah We'd be happy to host that kind of thing on our site if you wanted. Sounds potentially very useful/interesting.

My copy has the illustrated map overlayed on it. Delphinius did a good job on his because it's an exact match to mine when overlayed. All his islands are apparently to perfect scale distance. I overlay it with 50% transparency so you can see the chops and the artwork/names

That's pretty awesome, I did pick it up faintly through the scale of the map and intensive squinting and was wondering if you used it to help you along the way.

also I made a terrible mistake by opening it on my phone. Ahhhh it's going to explode

@Zulah Is that just some random ship you caught on your map east of the Tears, with weird highlighting?

That's my ship from the screenshot. I go through and delete my ship after a few. Missed one!

Hello everyone!

My sincere apologies for not getting back to this sooner.  For those of you that are close to me, you know why.  Anyway, I've picked the project back up.  Worked on the mainland and updated the shoreline from Tasur'ke to about Valho.

Updated the eastern edge of the ocean from the lower right corner, up to just north of Tasur'ke. 

My next goal is to get the chops from Tasur'ke north to Suliel.

Zulah's chops and mine are different.  Sorry for any inconvenience.  I may get around to filling them in black, but would rather just get the chops to you, ASAP and worry about filling them in later.

Hope this helps you all... if you can't see the chops.... zoom in!

PS - There should be a link within this post to the latest map.  It's version 2.3.  If the download doesn't work, i'll have to do like Zulah and insert the image into the forum post.  yikes.

Czanthria

Ok... got another update 3.0.  Now I have to take a break for a week and catch up on my studies.

Continuity between chops now.  Mine look like Zulah's.  Thank you Josoul for teaching me one of those OMGoodness TERRIBLE awful triggers to have to figure out.  *cough* \^ match all and highlight black foreground, black background. 

Everything is done up to Minos.

Including the amoeba and Clockwork.

I have to go and look around Targossas.  I don't think those are correct.

Enjoy!  Check back again in a couple of weeks and I should have all the chops done.

PS - leave a note here or send me a message on Achaea if you find anything that needs updating (other than the north eastern portion of the map.

That's Zulah's self portrait!

Gawd I didn't know it is so HUGE!

Thank you!

To download the latest updates, please go to www.megashares.com and do a search on Achaeanseamap and you should be able to see and download the latest update.  I didn't do any chops today, but I have completed the wilderness area from north of Tenwat.

Melodie

After a bit of researching, the only way to do a search on that website is to have a paid account. Is there another way to put up the updates, please?

Morthif

page @Sarapis and @Tecton. Sarapis offered to host it maybe that will work best?

Sarapis

Yeah, we can easily host it on the Achaea site. Why don't you email it to me, Czanthria? matt@ironrealms.com

Czanthria

Perfect timing @Sarapis.  I just finished the chops!  Emailing it to you now.

@Melodie - you just have to register.  To get unlimited download you have to pay.  But that's moot now, as Achaea will have it.

Next project is the mainland.  I'm working my way from north to south.

Great work. Thanks for finishing that off! I remember how long the west side and Meropis took me. I wasn't looking forward to that zone!

That upcoming event where the chops get totally changed is going to be kewl.

Is it multiclass? If it's multiclass it's okay!

Sarapis

I wish. @Silas is still slacking.

Noooo!


(unless you're deleting chops, then yaay!)

Morthif

Do they really want to overshadow the Great Hunt and Adryn Keep events with multiclass or wait until after to release it? 

P.S. The right answer is release multiclass today.
