This grand thread should be stickied! (or restarted, it's getting big and old enough that people don't know what has been posted! I demand a restart to avoid "going backwards" cheating to check places already posted. )

You're not mistaken, Minister Cho's Estate (explorable).

My, my, isn't that a copy of the dragon-shaped lighthouse in the distance? That would be a third replica of that and could throw those "ancient dragons used as lighthouses" theorists off once again!

Wow, interesting, it was actually Minister Cho's, Haiju has the rocks on the right absent from the screenshot in Cho's, but both have the 'dragon' watch tower in the background, reused resources I guess. I'd never seen the same buildings in Haiju, I guess i should go have a look.

edit:

Konig Des Todes, there is only Dragon beacon in Factions, how dare you insinuate otherwise... it just happens to move around, quite frequently

Yep, the pic on the wiki is exactly that scene. The problem is, there's nothing even closely resembling that scene in Haiju Lagoon. (This kind of stuff piques my curiosity, so I went and looked.)

Just another case of the wiki being wrong.

That's the general area yes. It's directly south of Longeye's Ledge by the waterfalls, facing west.

It is Frost Gate mission, but not looking away from where you get the... gear lever. It's down on the path with Rurik, after using Necrotic Traversal. More specifically, this is the southern end of the mission area, after fighting off hordes of Stone Summit.

(of course since the original post said "correct explorable area or mission spot" I'd say "yay, we have a winnar!")

Not Borlis Pass, as noted above, and why do you think you're the only one playing? I've seen lots of posts from lots of different people with guesses or screenshots.

Your in a dark outpost with slanted runes, holding patterns on them...
Central Transfer Chamber perhaps?

The last two are Central Transfer Chamber (nice effect with the Abyssal merging into the darkness and the glowing eyes) and Poisoned Outcrops (there is no access to the bright white-like sand, it's near the Giganticus Lupicus Graveyard landmark from the gw.dat).

You know, I've never used Necrotic Traversal in there. But yeah, I figured out last night that I was wrong on the exact spot when I helped a guildie with it last night. But good to know I got the "explorable" right at least.

Since I'm here...



Just got this one recently.

Wrong Konig, the first one is Jaga Moraine where Avarr The Fallen is, looking off the edge of the map (the cliff)

Am i right?

Yes the second is the catacombs in pre.

EDIT: I can see Avarr's leg in the first pic :O
