and you can remember few flashes from dreams witch you can clearly remember

 

hmmm where does this lead

hmmmwheredoesthislead.png

I know it is there

Right

after 2 days you are very tired of trying too much at once so you start it slowly you found your self you have 7 pictures in front of your self and you know where 1 picture leads

 

DAY 3

I'm still trying to be preoccupied with 7 pictures I should go more even more slowly. I know where 1 picture leads and I lost something known there but I forgot what

 

Early morning

I know I was there but I totally forgot where the picture leads maybe I'll remember if I move or change the global space

 

After noon

I finally remembered where the picture leads now I am there and I'm puzzled again maybe I should try up down left right here again

 

all pictures have 1 thing that has connected to each other I already found that but I don't know any more what exactly

 

interesting a blue crystal there I should use map I think the map isn't encrypted at all I just need to look in notepad the map is JPG try making screen shot with notepad

 

if I look closer I know where to dig

 

DAY 4

if I know this up down left right has relation with this blue crystal I know this isn't coincidence and I know I have to only look at the map atm so what means it's same map maybe 0 bare blocks and 1 are roads maybe I know at what 1 to start

and I know it's not encrypted file/image/text at all

 

DAY 7

the map has 0 as blocks 1 as possible movements

if I calc where to start I know from witch 1 start and if I look at dig site I see 3 possible holes to dig maybe I'll find some conclusions

 

DAY 8

ok so I figured out it should start by 1 and I guess I haven't tried the correct map maybe I should start at blue crystal and maybe I started at wrong position maybe on the bottom of all 0 and 1 there are 3 possible 1 to dig maybe I could get a conclusion

 

DAY 9

I can almost smell the dig site I guess it's somewhere under my legs

 

Evening

I found 1 WE at coords 94,63 well I guess I know it is there and should look up down left right again

 

the event is read hot and last clue get's anyone to 10 EWEs

 

 

The important thing is: You cannot find this treasure alone use Forum and every finding about puzzle may be correct or may be totally misleading

there will be a lot of misleading information in puzzle and it's your JOB to reveal the correct information

 

 

 

PS.

- it's a BIG puzzle

- if you find any hints that could lead to treasure post on forum

- if you try to dig and failed post coords on forum it could save allot of keys

- from 26.January 00:50 GMT +1 this event has deadline Friday evening - Saturday 9:00 GMT +1 I must be at her (I got Girlfriend back and she doesn't want to see me behind PC) - hints will be more often! I'm sorry it's not how I promised

- things changed she wants to come today so I'll try to close as fast as possible otherwise it's solvable with ought any hints but time needs it's master

 

- finding clues:

- player that solves most clues wins all additional made EWE

- player for solving a clue gets a share of additional made WE witch is count by clue points

 

- Categorized Clues

- "if you find any hints that could lead to treasure post on FORUM" every clue/hint counts as 1

- shared clues/hints counts first clues are worth more points than last clues the last clue will be lower for max 50% than first clue worth of points

 

(why cuz it was harder to start at beginning)

 

2. prize for solving contains at the moment and it's getting bigger

8k WE

4 EWE

 

EVENT RESULTS:

reward given to:

all rewards given to all competitioners that solved something at all

Raistin claimed to have been standing on position shown in picture 1 - no hyperbag

 

was this: My Position: an inside area. - Tirnym [667,720] ?

 

Other coordinated of screenies taken:

You are in Isla Prima [70,70]

as Rhonan posted, this obviously is partly ASCII coded message :) imo the part that really matters is #re t} drIjj09ouR ###246##ltIn(##. because it says "start at eight+8" and eight characters after the '8' is exactly after the text START ;) "DIG it" seems to coherent to be part of the coded "MAP". also I think it might be something like "treasure is in WS DIG it", where DIG means using skeleton key! pictures are from: Tirnym, WS, NC, PL, WS, IP

Stros figured two more coordinates:

 

Portland [95,70] Nordcarn [98,131]

edit: malameo claims Nordcarn [98,132] instead

edit: Gwaew claims PL to be [94,70] instead

 

And Jofuran thinks the Tirnym coordinate is

My Position: an inside area. - Tirnym [666,720]

instead of the above mentioned.

 

I think the Forest of the Fall location in the image is:

White Stone - Forest of the Fall [694,663]

and the south western WS point is

White Stone - Grahm's Village [98,63]

Ok I tried to put these infos together

- binary code part reads in ASCII: "...start at eightnum+8..."

- image name of jpg for WS south west corner is 0110010001101111011101110110111

- when adding a '0' it translates to 'down' in ASCII

- coordinates of image ingame: WS 98,63 (I think)

=> tried to find hyperbag at WS 98,63 + 8 down = WS 98,55

 

==> no luck though

(wasn't hoping to get the 10 EWEs but at least some piece of information maybe)

 

So.. maybe it's the missing binary digits that should tell us something.... let's see

I believe the correct coordinates to be:

(and since you are doing that WE-extra-reqward-thing I'll try to give credit to the correct providers of the information collected here)

 

Isla Prima [70,70] -- StroS

 

Portland [94,70] -- initially StroS (95,70) corrected by Gwaew

 

Nordcarn [98,132] -- initially by StroS (98,131), corrected by malameo

 

an inside area. - Tirnym [666,720] -- initially Raistlin (667,720) , corrected by JofuranShigokai, confirmed by malameo

 

White Stone - Forest of the Fall [694,663] -- Gwaew

 

White Stone - Grahm's Village [98,63] -- Gwaew

hmmm Where does this lead?

I know it is here (anagram ... word letters are together, but words are mixed up and letters in words are mixed)

up

In that binary decoded thing we have: ...#246#...

On my numpad this would be: 2 = down, 4 = left, 6 = right

so the missing number is 8 = up.

Earlier in the text it says: ...start at eightnum+8s...

so eightnum = up = NC (from Rhonans Post)

+8s could mean 8 steps south.

Nordcarn [98,132] +8 south = Nordcarn [98,124]

But no hyperbag there.

Today WiSEon_DAYshINe mentioned the NPC Oscar in NC says something about:

 

Killing the Ice Dragon in Hulda

 

might be another clue.

I tried interpretting the "MAP" 0s and 1s as 8-bit color and grayscale images ;) tried 2 variants on each and nothing

 

really nice try though - my compliments on this effort :icon13: !

[PM from Lalaith: I tried to find the coords from the pictures in C2 portalsroom. 70,70 leads to NRM. 98,132 is near IotF. 94,70 and 98,63 are not near...]

malameo and I were searching IotF at various coordinates hinted at by numbers of 0s and 1s in "map" and other clues

outside: 156, 116 and 116, 156 - no bags

temple: ... mal will post seperately he just said :-)
