==Zone Map== |
|||
==Basics== |
|||
===Basic Concepts=== |
|||
*Each room in the game is designated as part of a "zone" |
|||
*This zone designation is what is used to calculate distance and direction between any two rooms in the game. |
|||
*This is used for such things as gweth ranges, moon gate calculations, shifting, and familiars, among other things. |
|||
*Everything on this page is based on player observation about how the system works. As such it is only an approximation, albeit a good one, of how distance and direction between two rooms is determined. |
|||
*The zones were determined primarily by triangulation using two characters and the BEFRIEND list. Confirmation of distance in many cases was done by using Locate based shifts and Moon Gating. |
|||
:''Note: Ocean squares are not included in the above map since the normal methods of finding direction and distance do not work while on ships.'' |
|||

|||
*Primarily used by the BEFRIEND and severe weather systems. |
|||
*Any zones in the same row or column as a given zone are said to be due north, east, south, or west of that zone. |
|||
*Any zones not in the same row or column as a given zone are said to be either northwest, northeast, southwest, or southeast of that zone. |
|||
===Distance=== |
|||
*Distance between any two given zones is calculated by using the Pythagorean Theorum. |
|||
*Since the game deals in integers, the result is rounded down. |
|||
::d = floor [ sqrt ( x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 ) ] , where x is the horizontal displacement and y is the vertical displacement between the zones. |
|||
*For those who don't wish to do the math, the table on the right shows the distances in a visual format. |
|||
==Specific Uses== |
|||
===Gwethdesuans, Albredine Rings & Thoughtcast=== |
|||
*Telepathic items and abilities all have a maximum range given in numbers of zones: |

|||
===Shifting via Locate=== |
|||
*This feat is limited to a distance of 1 zone. |
|||
*Distance is calculated between your location and that of your Locate target. Your moonbeam's location does not factor in at all. |
|||
*It requires a hard minimum of 100 {{skill|Lunar Magic}}, but does not improve with either mana or skill. |
|||
====Shifting Oddities==== |
|||
*Shortcut: Ilaya Taipa <---> Hibarnhvidar <---> Ain Ghazal |
|||
:*Both the dock in Ilaya Taipa and the dock in the Himineldar just east of Hibarnvidar are in the same zone as Ain Ghazal, allowing a locate shift of effectively 2 to 4 zones. |
|||
*Shortcut: Throne City <---> Riverhaven, Knife Clan |
|||
:*The dock just outside Throne City is in the same zone as Riverhaven making it possible to reach these two areas via a Locate shift without needing to use the turtle and running down to Langenfirth. |
|||
*Shortcut: Muspar'i <---> Hvaral, Fornsted, Therenborough, Rossman's Landing, El'Bains Stop, Marauders |
|||
:*The docks on the Muspar'i side are in the same zone as Hvaral and Fornsted making it possible to Locate shift to and from all the listed zones. |
|||
*Shortcut: Dirge <---> Throne City |
|||
:*Easy shifting access from Throne City proper to the Crossing area. |
|||
*Shortcut: Ratha <---> Mer'kresh, M'riss, Hara'jaal |
|||
:*The permanent Moongate in Phelim's Temple on Ratha takes you directly to Taisgath putting you within Locate shift range of the above islands. Handy way to avoid a long boat trip. |
|||
*Shortcut: Knife Clan <---> Gwenalion Fens |
|||
:*Easy shifting access between Langenfirth/Therenborough and the Crossing area. |
|||
:*An alternate option is to travel to the south side of the Riverhaven Ferry. |
|||
*Barrier: Road between Shard Ranger Guild and Gryphons |
|||
:*There is a 2 zone break along this road just before arriving in gryphons that makes it impossible to Locate shift across it. |
|||
:*This barrier is there even if you and your target are right at the breakpoint and can peer at eachother in the next room over. |
|||
===Moongating=== |
|||
===Shifting via Directions=== |
|||
*Shifting by using GESTURE <direction/portal> can be done at any range. |
|||
*The distance is calculated between your location and your moonbeam's location. |
|||
*''Need formulae for mana, distance, skill.'' |
|||
===Astral Plane=== |
|||
*Grazhir shards are marked on the Zone Map by dark borders around the zone. |
|||
*The name of each Grazhir shard is surrounded by parenthesis for easy identification. |
|||
*The background color of each zone indicates which Grazhir shard you will end up at when using the 100th Circle Moon Mage ability. {not implemented yet} |
|||
*Exceptions: |
|||
:*e.g. Haven vs. Tiv's Guild |
|||
===Familiars=== |
|||
*The distance a familiar will be able to travel is based on both its type and the Warrior Mage's circle. |
