Yep and the OP of that thread over there has used the picture that some speculated might be the Xunlai market.

Both look like art done by Daniel Dociu, one of the Guild Wars art directors.

I finished my oddskills page for today. After a couple hours of sifting through lots of chaff, GWDatBrowser decided to fatal-error on me. It'd be much faster if I had Antitorgo's version that parses out the strings; using a hex editor to clean things up is pretty painful.

I confirmed the animal forms and xunlai market stuff, too, but those have been posted already. Also, plenty of parts of the Cantha/Elona maps too.

Those are probably the versions of the same maps used in the Tomb of Primeval Kings dungeon.

The rest seem to be GWEN dungeons. I half expected to see Urgoz and The Deep on their somewhere, since those are similar to the others.

Also, 1st Row, 2nd Column is the Dragons Lair mission map. Only thing on their that isn't End game content.

Tired of reading the raw WCHAR strings?

I've found that Castigation Signet might have once been named "Balthazar's Signet" and that Smiter's Boon might have once been named "Balthazar's Boon".

Actually, I've admired your oddskills page a lot.

There's quite a bit of stuff in there from NF that I haven't ever seen in-game such as:
Cyclone Palace - Known officially as the Summer Palace, this royal residence was heavily strengthened against the hurricanes that boiled up out of the south. It is in ruins as its foundations have washed away.

Monuments of Nahlah and Dahlah - The Two Queens, Nahlah and Dahlah, jointly ruled Elona. Shortly after these monuments were erected, the Scarab Plague hit, and both queens were blamed for the plague.

Sharkfin Ferry - Ferry to Kamadan from Sharkfin Village.

There's actually quite a few of these in there, that is just a sampling. I'm guessing these are actual landmarks etc in the game, but I've never seen em.

I think the bottom one was supposed to be King Doric begging Dwayna and the gods to help earth and split the bloodstones.

I'm mostly discouraged by all the stuff in Spanish, German, etc. that I can't read to be honest. The signal-to-noise ratio's really low in the text files. But I'm glad I found the Mini Bear somewhere around file #55000, buried in some Nightfall stuff. I'm certainly not as pro as you are, but I'm amazed at some of the work Anet's put in that hasn't made its way ingame.

You're right on the NF landmark descriptions. It appears that most, if not all of the Explorable Areas had a short write-up like the outposts and towns. Landmarks like the Cyclone Temple were there, too. Since I'm interested only in the skills stuff, I didn't bother extracting those out. The weird thing is, the skill descriptions, item lists, etc. don't seem to be in the dat file in any rational order. I found Prophecies stuff at a much later index than some NF data, etc.

Re: EotN skill names, I confirm that you're correct (surprise, surprise). Sloth Hunter Shot <= Vagabond's Arrow, for example. That would have been a pretty badass attack skill name.

Some time ago, around the release of the Zaishen Chest, I posted that the super duper rare items were infinite tonics for Wintersday and Halloween. I may as well post whatever proof I had; it's no guarantee that these tonics are the items. Actually, it's rather likely now that we know an everlasting beetle tonic dropped.

In three contiguous lines (file no. #154747 in my dat):
