Loramin's 500p Wiki Work Contest (5/3-5/10)

My edit - Timorous Deep entry for evil races killing elven rangers and scouts.
Additional Notes - I love this spot. If you wrecked your Indigo Brotherhood faction from hunting in crushbone for belts, this is the place to fix it. The loot is only moderate to good when you compare to Lesser Faydark bandits or Karana Bandits w/ red sash quests. The thing that makes the spot great is no one ever hunts there, the mobs are pushovers if you can deal with the occasional root or snare, and the mob placement is amazing for a solo hunter.

Respawn time is about 18 minutes, which is fine because you have about 9 total target mobs you can whack if you really want. The beta neutral vendor being RIGHT THERE in a hut where you're camping is the icing on top. If you are a solo necro or magician, you absolutely cannot do better than this place.

Claim for contest - don't enter my name in. I just added the entry for the hell of it.

My edit - Lake Rathetear map 7 bandit area description.
Additional Notes - If you are willing to pack a some extra food and drink and make the run, this spot is amazing. Total cruise control for grabbing level 17 and getting full loot value from every drop due to the Beta Neutral ogre vendor RIGHT THERE where you're camped. Even copper / silver can be converted from a quick purchase and sale of a bronze sword for a tiny loss.

The 6:40 min respawn time is great. The red sashes that drop (about 1.5 on average per 7 bandits killed) adds up if you're willing to take full 8 or 10 slot bags in your inventory, fill up, swap full bags for empty bags in your bank, and then leave. My ranger recently went from 11-17 there, saved every sash, and made level 20 from turning in all the sashes in Qeynos. Ending cash was 450pp + from the haul (used crude stein for sales).

Warning - Do NOT rest on or near the shore edge. Kermitt or whatever, the named shadow knight froglock, will eat you. Thankfully, there's no reason to either rest or fight near the shore as you're way up on a broad ledge.

Edit - Almost forgot - if you are a Troll Shaman of Innoruuk and you scammed a quick Halfling Illusion mask from the Innoruuk Reagent Symbol quest, the Halfling Illlusion will cut the mustard in letting you turn the sashes in at Qeynos. I nearly died laughing pulling this off. As the bank in Qeynos is in the same zone as the NPC you turn the sashes in to, the Illusion duration was good enough to do a quick relay race of bag swapping and turn ins before it expired. Gating out solved any inconveniences in zoning to leave.


Claim for contest - don't enter my name for this. Entry added for the hell of it.

Glad to see you got bitten by the wiki editing bug NegaStoat [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

BTW, if you want to add all those details to the wiki, they won't fit in the guide, but you can always make a mini-page for a specific spot like this one: http://wiki.project1999.com/Cazic_Thule_Alligator_Pit (and then link to it from the guide)

PRAS Loramin, Friend of the Server. Just wanted to say how much I appreciate this and all you do on the wiki. You are truly one of the few who make this server a better place.

Carry on my friend,

Not sure if it qualifies but I wanted to try and help. I made an edit to lvl 15-19 hunting in Lavastorm.
Added a little more detail and some more npc's. I was just soloing there with my Troll Warrior from 15 to 18.
I'll try and do another entry.

While I love that you improved the wiki, for this contest I really wanted people to try adding a single entry of some sort to the wiki. So please do add a new one (if you don't have any good spots for the guides the fashion categories always need screenshots, and you can easily pickup a suit of cloth or leather to take one).

You can also skip me for the contest drawing, Loramin. I can't take any outside plat on Jayya anyway.

I added a page with all the details I have about siren hunting, and linked to that to shrink the note: http://wiki.project1999.com/Siren_Hunting

Well thanks for helping regardless.

Added Barbarian Totemic fashion.
I searched the internet and could not find Barbarian Totemic as it looks much different than other races that can wear it.
http://wiki.project1999.com/Category:Fashion:_Plate

Another entrant!

And yes, this is exactly why the wiki needs so much help in the fashion categories. Even if there's already screenshots of several races, of the same gender, wearing the exact same suit of armor, with the exact same tint, there's still a big difference in how it looks on a different race/gender.

And I should point out that many basic categories, like http://wiki.project1999.com/Category:Fashion:_Leather, still have no screenshots whatsoever. Since any low-level character can assemble a suit of (visible) leather armor, this should be an easy entry for even the newest people to the server.

The contest is over and we had five entrants, plus a few others who "won" but declined to participate (thanks experienced and ALS folks who contributed anyway!) We also had a single honorable mention, Znakebite (who didn't make a new entry but did improve one).

And the good news is ... there will be no roll, because there's enough plat in the bank to reward everyone: everyone who participated is a winner!

The people who did multiple entries will get a slight bonus, while the one honorable mention won't get quite as much as the rest but will still get some reward:

• bodenn (+)
• djvyhle (+)
• Windez
• Beldon
• Yttrium
• Znakebite (-)

Everyone on that list will get a PM from me with details on how to claim their prize. Congratulations to everyone for participating and helping to make the wiki better for everyone!

Thanks for doing this. Starting to feel less hopeless looking at my JBB fund for my shaman.

[Znakebite]

Thanks Loramin!
I added a pic of Noble's Robes. I finally did it. I am assuming it looks the same on all classes/races?.
