Tower of Frozen Shadow - some questions.

[nilbog]

So Tserrina's master key should work for any mirror in the zone? (Including the non-7th floor mirrors?). i.e. Can I zone in, go to right portal, click it with Tserrina's Key and be on floor 2?

In the mirror room on floor 7, must you click the mirrors with keys to be transported to the respective level? Or are no keys required? Should the individual keys be required to click 7th floor mirrors/does Tserrina's key work for these?

Here's an example of a possible script for the doors. Since the click is to move players within the keyholders group, I'm using perl. Script borrowed heavily from Shin Noir on eqemulator.

sub EVENT_CLICKDOOR {
    if ($client->IsGrouped()) {
        my $destx = 0;
        my $desty = 0;
        my $destz = 0;
        my $d_id = ($doorid % 256);
        if ($d_id == 2) { #First Floor Door 
            if ($oncursor(20033)) {
                $destx = 660;
                $desty = 100;
                $destz = 40;
            }
        }
        if  ($d_id == 4) { #Second Floor Door
            if ($oncursor(20034)) {
                $destx = 670;
                $desty = 750;
                $destz = 75;
            }
        }
        if  ($d_id == 16) { #Third Floor Door
            if ($oncursor(20035)) {
                $destx = 170;
                $desty = 755;
                $destz = 175;
                $desth = 0;
            }
        }
        if  ($d_id == 27) { #Fourth Floor Door
            if ($oncursor(20036)) {
                $destx = -150;
                $desty = 160;
                $destz = 217;
            }
        }
        if  ($d_id == 34) { #Fifth Floor Door
            if ($oncursor(20037)) {
                $destx = -320;
                $desty = 725;
                $destz = 12;
            }
        }
        if  ($d_id == 157) { #6b Gem
            if ($oncursor(20038)) {
                $destx = 20;
                $desty = 250;
                $destz = 355;
            }
        }
        if  ($d_id == 1) { #Left portal on 1st level to 7th
            if ($oncursor(20039)) { #tserrina master key
                $destx = 20;
                $desty = 250;
                $destz = 355;
            }
        }
        if ($destx != 0) {
            my $tmpclient = 0;
            for ($i = 0; $i < 2000; $i++) {
                $tmpclient = $entity_list->GetClientByID($i);
                if (defined($tmpclient)) {
                    if ($tmpclient->GetGroup()->IsGroupMember($client) #Grouped with key holder?
                        && $tmpclient->CalculateDistance($client->GetX(), $client->GetY(), $client->GetZ()) < 40) {
                        $tmpclient->CastToClient()->MovePC(111, $destx, $desty, $destz, 0);
                    }
               }
               undef($tmpclient);
            }
        }
   }
}

If that gives you an idea, I need to be as specific as possible.

Yes master key will let you use all the mirrors like they normally would work but also bring you to top floor if you click the left one on first floor. Also remember being able to zone up group members if they were with you by mirror. At least the normal mirrors the direct to top might have been key holder only.

This is 100% accurate however clicking the left mirror on floor one with master key would port your group to the top also (confirmed)

This is correct. Tserinna's key would work in place of all the other keys for each floors respective mirror. You could use Tserinna's key on floor 1 (right mirror) to go to floor 2, from floor 2 to floor 3, and so on...

All of the mirrors (no matter what key you were holding) would transport you to Iceclad Ocean. There was no hopping to whatever floor you wished even if you had the correct keys. I tried combinations of holding each key and clicking each mirror - every time I was transported to Iceclad ocean. So it seems the information you found about these mirrors not transporting you to each level is correct. Tserinna's key has the same effect on each mirror.

I'm trying to get old source information to back this up and will post it here as soon as I've found it.

Oh btw - you could always identify which shrouded bat on floor 7 would spawn Tserinna because bats that spawned Tserinna saw invis

All of this is working as intended.

Additionally, the bat which spawns tserrina is light blue to a level 51. The rest will be dark blue.

Thanks for the update Nilbog - really looking forward (backward?) to P99's ToFS. I predict it's going to be a little crowded for a while, however ....

Still curious about the mirrors on floor 7.

2006
All I know about this "eighth floor" is that Tserrina drops magical lore items, that can unlock the secrets of the floor(as far as the eq manual said - why'd I read that thing? No one reads manuals! Well hey, I was bored!) and the key she drops does NOT take you to the eighth floor, but the Room of Mirrors, which will take you to any floor in the Tower of Frozen Shadow. One mirror in the room, however, does nothing.

The 8th level and locked level is as far as I been able to find out a myth and nothing else. All mirrors simply take you out (though I recall someone claiming early SoV that they took you to different levels in ToFS).

Up the spiral stair case is a locked door. You need Valsherra's key to open it. This leads to a room with a bunch of mirrors. Click to zone out.

Conflicting information from the same article:

One room has 7 mirrors and that is the room the master key will bring you to. And each mirror leads to the different floors.

When you first port up to this zone, you will be in a room surrounded by mirrors. One of these mirrors is locked, clicking on any other mirror will port you outside.

A spiral stair reaches up to the mirror room, using the key from the djinn to open the door. All the mirrors but one go outside, and nobody is sure what the last one goes to. Some speculations include an 8th floor or a plane that isn't open yet.

Up the stairs and around the hallway leads you to a room with a locked door in the back-pick the lock or use the key from Vhal`Sera to open it-this leads to the mirror room, with the enigmatic locked mirror and 6 other mirrors that lead you back outside.

Seems the oldest information I can find supports the room of mirrors not taking you floor to floor.

Why?

It smells like community in here, I like it.

Best of lucks on the Velious box Nilb.
