Another Wiki Challenge

[loramin]

TLDR; Up to 1.7k plat per player is up for grabs for those willing to help the wiki with some work. And my previous challenge is back too.


I'm having another challenge to offload work to lowbies give lower level players a chance to help the wiki and earn some bonus plat, potentially up to 1.7k.

I recently came up with a new wiki feature. If you go to Boridain Glacierbane's page you can see the new feature by mousing over the "(Show on Map)" link (near the "Location:" field). A map will appear showing where to find Boridain. This feature works on any mob in Eastern Wastes (and Rivervale) ... but nowhere else.

To make it work in other zones someone needs to "calculate" (it's really more like "guess until you get the right number") where the 0, 0" spot is on the map and what "zoom" factor the map has. It's a kind of techie and annoying process, but it's not actually all that hard. That process is laid out on this page: http://wiki.project1999.com/Loc_Maps.

So here's the challenge part: everyone who helps out and adds a city zone gets 700 plat (which you can pickup in the EC Tunnel). To avoid duplicating work, if you're going to add a zone edit the Loc Maps page in the wiki first (add your zone to the list but say "coming soon" after it). Please only "claim" one zone at a time. Also note that some cities (eg. Freeport) have multiple zones, and each one counts separately for this contest.

If you want to keep going I'll give 500p for the next two you do after the first, for a grand total of 1.7k plat possible. After that you're welcome to keep helping (including doing non-city zones), but my bank account can't fund any more than that [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If all that is too much for you I'm also re-offering my previous challenge, to anyone who didn't participate the first time:

• The Treasure Hunting Guide - where should I go to solo/duo/trio plat or valuable items?
• The Fashion categories (example) - what does _____ armor look like?

I'm holding a mini-contest with a prize of 500 plat. All you have to do to enter is help with one of those three pages. Now I know 500 plat isn't very much on this server, but if you're low level and on your first character then it can provide a nice boost, so this is intended specifically for such new folks.

All you have to do to "enter" is add one new entry: one hunting spot, one place to make plat, or one fashion screenshot, that the wiki didn't already have. Then just reply to this thread with a link to the change and a brief description so I know what you added. That's it.

Both the new challenge and the old last until 7/14/2019 (ie. you can still spend the weekend leveling and have time to enter afterward). If you're doing the loc work you don't need to post back here unless you want to, as I'll get your PM with the zone info. Be sure to include when a good time to meet up is so I can give you your plat.

Hopefully some newer folks enjoy this chance to earn some bonus plat, while helping everyone find city NPCs on the wiki more easily!

P.S. Feel free to improve (eg. add screenshots to) the Loc Maps page itself. It's a wiki!
