Planet Calypso: Find Wistrel's Cave!

Cool idea :)

 

Sounds fun, but your stuff might disappear with the VU.

 

Would like to try but not sure where the newbie area is...

 

The entrance is in Port Atlantis. If you tp to New Arrivals go up the stairs and in the middle of that square you'll find a televator tht leads you to Gateway.

 

Am I allowed to add to it and hide it in my storage? I'll provide plenty of pics as clues

 

ah the caves.... If it's the same one I found one of the entrances is near a location that has a name similar to a city... and it's a glitch by MA devs in how the mountain 3d model sits on the map. It might be a different one you found though as I suspect there's several locations like it up there. Mindark still hasn't figured out how to model 3d models so they sit on the ground. They need some training in what a convex hull is vs a concave hull...

If you want to find the 'endless sea' take a tp chip up there. Tp off the island toward the east. Now try tping back to the island... If you end up where I did the time or two I tried it you'll be swimming in an endless sea that I think is technically below the island, but it really seams to be above it since there's nothing but fog in the sky going up forever.

 

OK, thanks... I'll try and find the clues after the AV update.

 

Well, I had a good try looking for the items but couldn't find them ;) Anyway, I got to the end of the run where you can leave to get back to calypso, but I can't find the televator or TP to get back to PA lol...

 

yep. They hid the npc in the basment of the building in the fort on the southeast side of the map. Be careful. If you explore too far to the east of the city on top of the mountain you'll fall in to a hole in the map on the edge of the world where the invisible wall is and have to use T to get out. If you don't approach the fort from the path it can be a pain in the butt to get up there. Also, be careful if you want to hunt from there going south. Cliff is so steep it's very easy to die falling from the cliffs. You can do it though if you walk backwards as you drop from cliff face to cliff face... herb boxes are handy when climbing cliffs.

Also, this is sort of silly, but some of the mobs up there do drop loot related to whatever their mob type is on mainland of Calypso... so markup levels are somewhat high on some drops up there... not super high, but somewhat high. Expect a lot of crap loot though... but it is a nice way to collect a shitload of the starter guns. I like the allophyl area. I REALLY wish Mindark would put in waterfalls like that all over Calypso proper.

 

I finally managed to get back to Calypso... Turns out that you have to click on the NPC near the VTOL at the end of the mission run; you can't get out by going back to the start area, which is what I at first thought lol.

 

yep. I had similar feelings when I went there... unfortunately, it got boring for me very, very quickly. sparse number of mobs there makes it tough to live there full time. Over the weekend I moved to Rocktropia since living on Calypso was giving me too many bad feelings after I had to sell my shop and other estates a couple of months back. The trolls on RT and the rig in THE THING made the trip worthwhile because Trolls have like 2 health each, so are perfect for low level melee skilling as you get more kills so more kill skill bonus than you get on Calypso where the puny all have 10 health... The billy bar up on RT is an awesome little instance where you get to take out about 33 trolls in an small room that's designed like a bar. Whip practically reaches half way across the room, lol.

I haven't gone looking for any caves in THE THING yet (well other than the one at the end that the THE THING is in, but the way the place is designed, I bet there is a few out there in the snow somewhere.

 

yep. Thing has been back a couple of weeks.
