I've started work on the next level of Recommended
Hunting Areas. You can find a partial list of suggestions for levels
10-20 here. I'll try to get the rest of them up in the next day or so.
There were a *lot* of great suggestions for these levels!

Ta-da!!! The Runway reopens with a fabulous
display of fashion by Dykstra of
Thistledown! Yay!
I also finished adding the
Renalim pics to the Dyes page.
Thanks to the amazing Mule of Doom, Sugardaddy, for crushing up some
plants for me to photograph. Thanks also to Prox for yet more Colban plant
locations! You can also see a sampling of dyed armors on the Dye
Poses page. More coming soon! (Just as soon as I can figure out where
I put them! ;-)
I also wanted to thank
everyone who has sent mail. I am, as usual, *very* behind on the mail, but
I am getting your letters and hope to get everything up on the site
asap. I apologize for the lack of personal responses to some of you.

Letters updated! Ned Cleversun's latest Tip,
as usual, generated quite a few letters. You can read suggestions from
Wryan of Solclaim and Immacolata of Wintersebb. Ned Cleversun even updated
his tip as a result! You'll also find a few nice letters on the Hieromancer's
Armor.
Misspelling on the Yellow Pages
corrected after 2 attempts!
Thanks to Eckie of Wintersebb
for suggesting a few missing Abbreviations
(e.g. SIK) in the Odds 'n Ends
section. I also added a few more pronunciations while I was working on the
page.
Satyricon of Wintersebb sent
me several corrections, including some level restrictions on the Coordinates
page and a broken link. Both Saytricon and anidasle pointed out some
outdated information on the Magic
Research page.
Fossil U of TD pointed
out a typo in the Tibri's Fire Spear
write-up, and both Butiku and Iseri Shasar reminded me to update the
Grievver acid drop info on the Hieromancer's
Quest.
Thanks to Sion of Leafcull for
adding another work of art to the Gallery:
a wall painting found at the Ithnaec Cathedral!
Last, Mindless dconfused
pointed out yet another correction needed for the Shadow Armor
page!
Phew! Only 3,108 emails to go!
More coming soon!!! ;-)
August
24, 2001
Yellow Pages updated. I've
added many of the sites I've featured in previous newsletters for easier
reference.
August
22, 2001
I've started work on the Recommended
Hunted Areas in the Sports Section.
For now, you can find suggestions for Levels
1-10. More coming soon! ;-) If you'd like to add comments, make
corrections, or suggest a new hunting area, please use this
form.

What could be better than patch information and quest write-ups?
That's right! It's another Tip from my wonderful vassal, Ned Cleversun: Tip
for using keyboard commands in spellcasting.
August
20, 2001
More rewards added to the Tumerok
Banner Quest. You can find the full table of Banners
& Rewards here. Full quest write-ups now available for both
Banners & Assault Weapons.
August
18, 2001
Yes, even more updates to the Crests of
a Turbulent Sea Patch Page! You can now see screenshots of at least
one of each of the 6 Clan Banners being wielded. I also starting moving
the data over to the Quests section.
Full write-ups to come for Assault
Weapons and Tumerok Banners.
In addition, you can find a table of the possible Banners
and their rewards. It's still got a lot of holes, so I'd love any help
to fill in the gaps.
August
17, 2001
More updates to the Crests of
a Turbulent Sea Patch Page! I haven't had time to go through all the
email with Tumerok Locations, stats and drop information, but I'll try to
get that done soon. Starter Yaoji added to the Starter Weapons, and the Professions
page has been updated with the new templates! Thanks again to everyone
sending information in!!
August
16, 2001
Patch Page updated! More
pics and stats added, more info on locations. Fixed (I hope) most of the
typos and errors -- Axe & Spear corrected, Reinforced Haft pic
corrected, Tokens, Symbols, etc. added. Page may take a while to load. I
still may be missing a few credits, but I'm working through the email bit
by bit. Big thanks to everyone who sent info on the patch!
Big update to the Crests of a
Turbulent Sea patch page! Learn more about the Banners and locations
of the 6 Tumerok Tribes and the new Assault Weapons! You can also see
several more examples of finished banners, thanks to Edain of Leafcull and
Loup Noir of Frostfell among others.
I'm still missing pics of a
few of the banners, Spear Heads, Crests, Symbols and Coins. If you have
any info, stats or pics of these items or other finished banners, please
email them to jackcat@spacestar.net.
Thanks! I also wanted to say thank you to Ronin arcane for escorting my
level 1 self on my journey to meet Enclave.
The locations of the 9 Towers
have now been personally confirmed. Several of the coordinates were
incorrect. Thanks to everyone who pointed out the errors. Starter Shou-ono
added to the updated Starter Weapons!! :-)
I also wanted to thank
everyone who has filled out the Recommended Hunting
Area form. The response was really incredible. It will take me a while
to go through them, but feel free to keep them coming!
August

Patch day! Yay! Virindi Towers! New Quiddity sporting Tumeroks! Newbie
Love! Banners! Find out more in the Crests
of a Turbulent Sea patch page (contains spoilers). And as always, Ulgrim
sayings and Town Crier Rumors
updated.

I usually try to have something up for people to read while the
servers are down for the new patch (yay!), but sadly, I got home from work
very late this evening. If you have a little extra time on your hands,
however, please consider filling out this form
for a future section on the site: Recommended Hunting Areas!
I get so many letters a week
from people asking for this sort of information that I've long wanted to
create an area of the site to refer them to. I know there are a lot of
experienced players out there who have a wealth of knowledge to
share.
*curses last week's stomach flu, knowing there's no way calling in sick
will be believed tomorrow!!* ;-)
As always, all patch
information appreciated. For screeshots, please use the following email
address: jackcat@spacestar.net
(it's able to handle larger files). Thanks!
August
12, 2001
Letters updated! Enter the Dragon of
Harvestgain offers a nifty shortcut to the Warden for the Shackles
of Obedience. I also answer a question I get asked many times a week:
can I link to your site? And Ned Cleversun steps in to answer just how he
managed to hit an Umbris for 606 points of damage! July
Letters archived.
Thanks also to Athelred of
WE/HG for pics and stats of the last Quiddity
Weapon I was missing: Mace of
the Quiddity. Beasties page (page
takes a while to load) updated with all the creatures from the Lost
in the New Horizon patch page, plus stats on the Repair Golem, the
Smithing Golem and Nexus Fragment stats from Win Lee and Tomoki of
Thistledown! More coming soon! ;-)
August
10, 2001
BIG news!! My wonderful vassal, Ned Cleversun, turned Level 70 last
night! All those Umbris really add up! We had a small ceremony while he
celebrated by dumping over 4,000,000 xp into his new Creature Magic! Yay!
He tells me he is going to retire from power-leveling and become a grief
player full time. ;-)
All that skill didn't come
without a cost. Death total increases by 56 to 1251.

Thanks to all the Runway
volunteers so far. My goal is to have the section back in force by the end
of the month. Just a few miscellaneous updates. A few towns added to the Vendor
Rates. Thanks to Cylyria the Mage of FF and Bane Grievver of MT for
filling out the icon and stats of the Quiddity
Axe. Many spelling and typo corrections and a few broken links
repaired.
August
3, 2001
I've been working through some email and have done a few miscellaneous
updates. Thanks to Danier for all the screen shots from the last patch. I
haven't really had a chance to throw more of them up, but the pic to the
right is from his contributions.
Thanks to Josiah I of Morningthaw for a copy of the Forgotten
Text found in Xarabaydun and the Standing
Orders Translation.
Wohc of Thistledown also
contributed a few texts: Brief
Letter translated froma Damp Scroll and Translated
Letter from a Tear Stained Parchment.
Updated Summer version of the Book
of Seasons also added.
Prox sent a few more coordinates
for Colban plants.
Thanks to Forceful Chris of
Solclaim for pointing out an error on the Celdon Shadow
Armor stats!! This has always been one of the TOP viewed pages of the
site I was amazed it hadn't been caught before now! Thanks Forceful Chris.
Thanks also to Steve for
mentioning that making potions only kills you if you have exactly the
number of health points required to make the potion. Tip on the Alchemy
page updated accordingly.
Baz-al-Araj Thistledown
suggested I mention that the Rubies for the Silifi
of Crimson Stars can only be activated with an Axe skill of 280+.
I corrected the description
for the Bandit Shield as
well. Thanks to everyone who pointed out the error. The dangers of copying
and pasting!

New Stuff archived.
Last, as I've mentioned, I plan to start doing Runway
updates again. Because so many of the Runway volunteer requests are soooo
outdated and many of the people I've tried to contact either no longer
play, or have re-rolled and started someone new, I've decided to start
from scratch taking Runway Volunteers. It was just the easiest solution I
could think of to handle it. That means if you've previously sent a
request in, you'll need to re-send one, even if you
asked just last week. I will do my best to try and start with people who
have already requested being featured, and apologize in advance to anyone
who gets overlooked. Remember that good pages highlight not just fashion,
but interesting stories and personalities. Any information about your
character or your game-play that you'd like to add in your letter is much
appreciated.
