Here is summary of some difficult areas (rooms) to explore:

1. Lasertag
   1. You need take part in lasertag on both teams.
   2. Try to move in and out from the first room (both teams).

      3. Randomly you will get valid/fake test with answers (read test). Examples “Gnomes are friggin’ WEIRD!” is fake test, while “The answer for question 10 (“Yes.” to a question that takes up one quarter of the page) looks a bit dodgy, but still, this is good work!” is the right one!
      4. You give W-79z certification test (complete!) (read test) to Chairman Ekima.
         Chairman Ekima asks ‘Oh, a W-79z Decapitation Zone Work Safety Exam?’
         Chairman Ekima says ‘I suppose I have a moment to grade that for you…’
         Chairman Ekima glances over the test…
         Chairman Ekima gasps in astonishment.
         Chairman Ekima says ‘But this is amazing! I never would’ve expected such’
         Chairman Ekima exclaims ‘mastery from a non-gnome!’
         Chairman Ekima exclaims ‘I think you’ve more than earned this!’
         You receive a W-79z Decapitation Zone Work Safety Certification from Chairman Ekima.
      5. Open door 2 down.
      6. Kill Snoph for key.

   8. Say ”nothing” to randomly receive none, one, two, or all three possible end items’
8. Planes (incl. Nine Hells)

9. FT2
   1. There are 3 rooms in part with getting magic bean. To get all of them you need ask other players to help you. First room – kill gardener. Second room – player1 kill gardener, repop, kill gardener. Third room – player1 kill gardener, repop, player2 kill gardener, repop, you kill gardener.
10. Verdure Estate
    1. https://aardwolfboot.com/verdure-estates/ should help you get to the rooms.
11. Uprising
    1. Go to gigantic dragon skull in “A Deep Gorge”
    2. Get a pickaxe from the skull
    3. Give pickaxe to dwarf miner.

12. Intrigues of Times Past
    1. To one room you can only get by using translocate.
    2. But this won’t mark you as explored – you need to leave the room and come back (use spell nexus).
13. Crynn
    1. Use guide https://aardwolfboot.com/crynn/ to find path in chaotic skies.
14. Genie, OC and Winds
    1. Can be tricky, as you need to explore all rooms in the first part (maze like)
    2. As area repops are long and you are not afraid of dying you can try ‘wfa’, note room id and exits.
    3. Go to one exits, mark room id.
    4. Repeat steps 2-3 when all rooms in the maze were done.
15. Inferno
    1. One room has no visible entrance – it is in part when usually group have a break – in the centre room open up/up.
16. Trans
    1. One extra room can be explored during trans1 run – tell leader you would like to enter forge and you want to know passwords.
    2. Another room can be accessed when trans1 run is almost done. Instead saying ‘ready’ to Kaislinn, tell Kaislinn I can pursue (which is part of trans2 goal) and move to any room.
       1. Halls of the lost is a maze and can take long time to find all the rooms.
17. Shadow’s End
    1. Nothing special here – you need to complete Goal as player2/3 in the maze part. https://aardwolfboot.com/shadows-end/
18. Terra and Titan
    1. You need to explore fully Titan L3 (maze’ish).
    2. Also take part in (many) terra/titan epics to be transferred to bosses areas.
    3. For both terra/titan there is one boss that has 2 areas: one tank only fight boss, while other group doing something else. You need complete both.
19. BCC
    1. Kind of AQ to get to the last room & kill mob holding a jagged shard (potentially best weapon in the game when nice bloot)
    2. Find mist in black claw crag
    3. Enter mist
    4. Touch crystal (if not responding – maybe someone else doing AQ or just completed – should be ready to use after repop)
    5. The AQ / game is the following.
       1. Axaldra (dragon mama) will spawn after few seconds with message where she is (WNES).
       2. Directions here means 3 rooms, e.g. W are 3 rooms NW, W and NS.
       3. When Axaldra is in that direction will hit players for 25-50k every 1-2 seconds.
       4. She moves using clockwise directions: WNES-WNES-WNES…
       5. Your task is to kill mobs in the ‘centre’ rooms (e.g. for west side W room, not corners NW and NS).
       6. To do so best practice is to focus on one side: if Axaldra is currently on W side, wait at S, when she moves to N and W side is safe to enter, go there to middle room and damage as much as possible whelp till Axaldra will be south.
       7. Then escape via north, go east and south side (when safe to enter) and repeat step 6.
       8. Do this with other whelps.
       9. Note, that when Axaldra is in a room whelps get their health restored (about 20-30% of their total hp) – this is threshold for your minimum damage to pass. If you barely damage whelpsome (more or less) to 25% and Axaldra heal it by 30%, then you would need 20 “rounds” per whelp to kill it. Times 4 whelp – 80 rounds. Which can be over 1 hr. Best players can do this AQ under 5 minutes, killing whelps in 2 rounds.
       10. After killing 4 whelps in W, N, E and S you will be transported to last room with mortally wounded warrior. He’s easy pray – kill him to get shard – drop like any normal item in the game. And because it takes some time to complete this AQ don’t expect getting nice shard soon.
       11. Some consideration: retreat is a must, dampening field is a must, some hp is needed, melee classes are crap here, you need to have good damage.
20. Sea King dominion
    1. Get/buy/”borrow” Portal (reward for FT2 goal)
    2. say ‘hav’ at King Leodegrace
    3. say ‘meer’ at King’s Treasurer
    4. say ‘mer’ at King’s Wizard
    5. say ‘aibheis’ at King’s Squire
    6. say ‘mare’ at Sea King
    7.  say ‘mar’ at Nighthorse
    8.  say ‘maris’ at Atanua
    9.  say ‘okeanobrutos’ Iamanja
    10.  say ‘da-hai’ at Ina
    11.  say ‘enkai’ at Gwaten
    12.  say ‘blq’ at Kadlu
    13.  say ‘bahari’ at Vete-Ema
    14.  say ‘lautan’ at Yagis
    15.  say ‘ugh’ at Oceanides
    16.  say ‘samudda’ at Gorgon
    17.  say ‘dari-av’ at Selkie
    18.  say ‘izznarg’ at Naiad
    19.  say ‘glass of water’ at Sea King

Note: These are selected based on the fact that they have many rooms with more than 4 mobs. We are going to level in those rooms so we can take full advantage of aoe attacks. Explore the areas a bit to get a feel of where the rooms are. The indicated level range is not absolute as it changes with your character power so feel free to stay longer/less in an area.

hatch 1-25
grotto 25-50 (Progress roughly in this order: Red lava, Labyrinth, Ravine and Amethyst sea)
oz/hedge 50-70 (You would alternate between the two but always clear oz first (the ants and the clouds) so it can repop while you level in hedge (enter hedge in room 15154 for higher level mobs))
darklight 70-80 (level in the starting area up until the gates; be careful with the some strong mobs mixed among the weak ones avoid them if you can since they can bring down the efficiency)
ft1 80-100 (Kill the dwarves in room 1214 when you are able to since they repop together,  same for room 1224; generally stick with bluebirds and robins until you can kill the fishermen. Kill the goose only if you can tank them)
ftii 100-120 (pretty clear progression, many  “sections” has a room with 4+ mobs only spend time in these)
nanj/ddoom 120-135 (same logic with oz/hedge: for nanj kill the good mobs in entrance and the hands in room 11251, you might want to push the possessed rock south if you can so it’s easier. In ddoom hunt sunrise to reach the area then same logic with ft1, kill the mobs in room 4216 and the guards that guard the room before it)
arisian 135-145 (pretty self-explanatory once you explore the map, don’t need to go into the maze)
adal 145-160 (same as above)
origin 155-170 (enter cold and voila!)
tol 160-186 (very clear how it goes)

186-200 ask for a drag 🙂

I would like to preface this guide with a couple of key points.

1.  I was personally un-clanned for my first tier and a half so many of the zones are non-aggro or areas where it is easier to do your own CR
2. ABC (Always Be Campaigning) this is especially important for early tiers as QPs are more valuable then you would expect, I was hesitant to add zones before level 80 to this guide but am going to assume that you have finished your CP and are looking for where to level so you can take your next CP. (also ALWAYS be questing)
3. I am often evil for most of the first part of my morts, though some additional zones have been added to make this guide a bit more even however the zones I know work will be listed predominantly.
4. Please feel free to add to this and make it a living document.

Levels 1 – 35 (Good aligned)

Jungles of Verume

This area can be accessed through the Crusader clan currently and has a wide range of level mobs that will allow you to speed through the first levels. These are the easiest levels to CP through as well so again, highly recommend doing Campaigns through these levels.

The fish and squid in the early part of this zone should be easy enough and as you progress deeper into the jungle you will start to see harder mobs, make sure you check your Mosquitos as the tiny ones are good xp for lower level however the Very Large ones do pack quite a punch.

Work your way up to the Lizard Men, once you are able to kill them and are not seeing good gains, xrt conflict then run 2se and work on the Tabaxi mobs.

Hint: a needle can be found in Fort Terramire for early level AOE brandishing

—-

35 – 55   (Evil Aligned)

Zangar’s Demonic Grotto

Time to go evil, shouldn’t take long though.

I’m sure there are some better spots available but this is my personal favorite. I should also preface that I am not OPK and there are some flagged rooms in this area so be careful.

Start by killing mobs in the first three rooms The Crack Expands to The Crack Ends. The Moss should be easy enough then work your way to the G’s.

The middle room (The Crack Continues) has a hidden door down which will open up for a lot more mobs to kill. This is a good zone to hunt in as many early CP mobs are in this area but also there are a lot of mobs in general so you don’t have to worry about people farming the zone easily.

Down from The Crack Continues is a PK flagged area so if OPK I’d run through quick ws;open d;d. If not OPK go ahead and kill stuff here, may even get some rare kill xp.

At the fork you may want to be careful as there is a powerful Aggro (A blithersnag) lurking about that might eat you, if he is too much for you, go back and farm the first three rooms a bit more. You should be able to by pass him by going WS to Lair of the Blithersnag.

You might avoid the Dwarf and his puppet for now as they are a bit more high level then the other mobs in this area however continuing south in either direction you can feast on more Grots, Grods, and Grofs, the Sloborg are a bit meaner however.

There are also some aggros in this area that might be tough so watch out for the Zanger vampire and Slithering shadow demon.

Once you’ve had enough from The Puppet and the Dwarf, go swsen;open d;d.

This is another PK zone, if you are OPK run sese;enter barrel. If not, feel free to farm this zone. I should warn that entering barrel may have an aggro in it and you also may want to have water breathing as the zone is all under water.

The scorpions are quite mean in this zone but the clams do give some good xp.

Usually around 40-mid 40’s, once you are able to take on clams without much effort, I would recommend moving to Oz.

—-

45 – 55  (Evil)

The Land of Oz 

This zone has some lollipop guild members that will definitely fill the XP cravings, one main problem: a hurricane of aggro to get through.

There are some open clan shops that sell invis potions although who and where changes over time, it is best to do a potsearch invis to find one, highly recommended if you do not have a similar spell available.

The Zone you are looking for is the Odd Garden area starting at room 537

From the entrance of Oz run 4ne2unwu2n2e2u

There are lots of Munchkins in this zone which should feed that XP meter quite well. I would also recommend doing the Goal for this area as you get quick travel options to the Odd Garden as well as the Wizard area.

—-

55 – 80 (Evil)

The Three Pillars of Diatz

Plains of Nulan’Boar

This level zone has a few different areas you an use depending on mob availability.

I will usually go to Pillars as there are technically 4 zones (including the entrance) that you can farm in.

Start with the Townsmen and children in the area then enter one of the pillars (Stone, Glass, Marble) by saying the name of the Pillar to Galvan in the Courtyard Center (1254).

A good rule in the pillars is to work on unnamed mobs (drunkard, nobleman) then work your way up to named mobs (Tass, Quonton).

As an alternative or interchangeably you can visit Plains of Nulan’Boar, this area has tons of mobs depending on any type of player competition you might be faced with.

I personally use Diatz but this is obviously variable based upon mob availability.

—

75 – 95 (Evil)

Wedded Bliss

Bliss is a fun zone with varying levels of mobs and no PK rooms to speak of.

I will often start with the Innocent boy and flower girls however xp gains may depend on the level you got to in the previous zone(s).

Once the boys and girls xp gains start to lessen run n2e from the start of the zone to get to the Noisy Clearing area and work on the winded dancers.

From there run 2w5n2e the Kitchen area will have family cooks and pot scrubbers with lower immunities that should be easy enough to kill at this stage and still provide decent xp gains.

Once the cooks and scrubbers are no longer providing sufficient xp the Noble Lady’s will be the next level of mob to look for, these will be in the Manicured Lawn area and should take you to the next zone of leveling.

—

75 – 90 (Evil)

Aardington Estate

As an alternative, or interchangeably Aardington has a ton of mobs and is a good go to if Bliss is empty or waiting for repop.

I don’t often use this zone for leveling but it is a good zone to run through and attack due to the amount of mobs available for farming.

Tumari’s Diner is also a good spot to level in, I would recommend switching neutral in Diner to ensure you are maximizing your xp gains.

—

95 – 130 (Evil)

Faerie Tales

If you have Block Exit trained, Ft1 is a great spot to go once the Noble ladys are starting to lose sufficient xp gains.

There are quite a few of them but they can get annoying without block exit as they run when low on health.

A word of warning with this area beware going east of the Misty Path as the geese are mean, I will often avoid killing Bluebirds and Robins in A misty Path (1205) as they can often run to the geese zone and I’ll find myself chasing them into certain death.

If you don’t have blockexit, find the chasing of Bluebirds and Robins tedious, or have already killed them all, look for dwarves and princesses in the area.

Some people will go after the fishermen in the south end of the area however they do have some immunities and are not often worth the potion usage versus xp output.

—

110 – 130 (Evil)
Faerie Tales II

Once the birds, princesses and dwarves xp output begins to dwindle you can pop right next door to FT2.

This is my personal favorite area for xp farming due to the amount of mobs in the area.

From the entrance of the zone run e2n and kill mice (they are hidden) then 2n of them are more mice (mouse), 9s of those are flower pots. Usually depending on your tier re-pop will happen by the time you are done and you can easily rinse and repeat.

If not or if the area is being farmed, follow the path east for guards (26705), huntsmen (26759) then wrap around to the north and work on townsmen (26781) pimps (26782) and cows (26795).

Depending on how well you are doing you can simply go through a mob at a time but I often prefer to look for rooms filled with like named mobs, kill off any non like named mob and maybe one or two of the group before trying an Aoe to finish them off.

Rinse and repeat should take you to 130 – 150

There is a nice hidden zone in FT2 but it is underwater so make sure you have water breathing if you decide to go here, there is some good Xp gains to be had.

In On A Sandy Shore (26847) use *fstar to be teleported to the magical world of Under The Sea. I would recommend trying these mobs one at a time Lobsters then crabs then dolphins then whales. Once those are clear work towards the princesses mermaids and kings.

—

125 – 145 (Recommend Evil but Neutral for maximum gains)

Desert Doom

Depending on the gains you are seeing from FT2 or if the area is ‘busy’ DDoom is a good spot to go to for a short stint.

Depending on if you want to hit nanjiki right away or get some sweet Unearthly Bonds Xp determines how you should use this zone for xp.

North of the starting room will bring you to your crossroads, Up for evil mobs down for good mobs.

I will often try to stay neutral throughout this zone to maximize the mobs available for Xp farming. Both areas have priests, guards, and advisors that are good farming but I would recommend working on the guards first until you can easily take on these mobs.

—

145 – 160 (Evil)

Unearthly Bonds

Personally as I often remain evil through the previous levels I prefer Bonds over Nanjiki and return to the upper level mobs in Nanjiki later when the Blind spells are less effective.

Both are fairly good to get you over the mid level hump however.

If you haven’t done the Bonds goal yet you will want to give 1000 gold receptionist to get your pass for some nice mob farming. The goal here allows you to bypass that payment and may be worth it in the long run.

If you happen to have a translocate spell you can also C 409 to get past the receptionist.

Once you have gained entry head west into The Training Field (23425) the mobs to start on will be located in the north, the Beach and Lake Kirnas area.

Kill Pegasus and colts in this area then head to A Long Hallway (23461) and kill all of the students you find. You can try the dragons at this stage but they are a bit feistier then the students and you may wish to gain a few levels before testing their meddle.

You should be able to rinse and repeat as A whinny and a roar fill the air. Once you are able to hit these two zones fairly easily you can head to the west to Entrance to the Crag (23473).

Start with the students here and work your way up to the named mobs, you may even find some Dis knife bonus loots which are decent daggers.

After this sone is cleared there is a somewhat hidden zone to the north east. From The Training Field (23427) head 4nw to A rolling Meadow and open west. Everything in the zone should do well though I start with barflies and courtesans then kill everything else.

—

160 – 170 (Neutral)

Battlefields of Adaldar

This zone is often quite busy and does have a PK flagged room at the entrance. Quickly open w;w upon arrival to get out of that flagged room.

Adaldar reminds me much of a non-aggro Call of Heros with the Good mobs on the west, the Evil mobs on the East and a strip of PK flagged rooms down the middle. If you are not OPK the middle rooms are great as other players will tend to ignore these rooms.

I would highly recommend switching neutral at this stage to ensure maximum xp gains from all mobs in the zone.

—-

170 – 190 (Good)

Avian Kingdom

Nanjiki Ruins

Tanra’vea

You can almost taste the Superhero at this stage.

This zone can often be cleared out however the harpies at the entrance are a great source of xp proteins to get you that bump in XP you may need for the final leg of your journey into Superherodom.

When this has cleared or if you are seeing some competition in the zone and its already been cleared, I often like to pop to Nanjiki at this stage. Your current level should mean much less Blindness from the mobs there.
–
Nanjiki Ruins (Good)

From the entrance of Nanjiki Run sd3s;open d;d.

The Fire Lizards and Magma beasts in this zone are on the higher levels for this area (160) while xp gains may not seem like much you should be able to AOE without much difficulty making the xp over time gains worthwhile.
–
Tanra’vea (Good)

This is a pretty good zone to clear out in-between repops or in the case that the other more popular zones are overrun. i have personally seen some folks Superhero from Tanra mobs but it is a bit of a grind.
–
GOALS

I would also recommend getting the Empyrean, Streets of Downfall goal done as soon as you can, tho a couple of morts under your belt might make this goal a bit easier.

Before attempting that goal I would suggest completing Living Mines of Dak’Tai as there is a pre-requisite caveat.

Empyrean can take you at Neutral from 170 – Superhero easily.

—

175 – 186

The Tree of Life (Neutral/Good for next leg/Evil for maximum xp)

Bit of an overlap here however these higher level areas can get a bit farmed out at times so it is always good to have as many options open as possible.

If you’ve managed to stay neutral from Adal this may be more beneficial as a majority of the mobs here are good.

That being said, I like going good at this level and pick off the evil mobs as I work my way up the branches, the mob level and difficulties increase the higher you go.

::Note::

There are some clans that earn AP for promotions when providing drags, these clans are oven Good align based so staying Good at this range will often net you easier drags.

—

186 – SH

Fens (Good)

Fens was my go-to zone for this level range in my early tier, unfortunately a majority of the other zones I like to visit have a lot of aggro (were wood) or have some difficult spots to get to (black lagoon/ Ocean park).

Recently I have also been visiting Ocean Park, if you start the goal at 186 you will likely SuperHero by the time you’ve finished and there are limited aggro mobs in this zone, OP may be a preferred zone to level in and may also find you someone to Drag if you get lucky.

Andolor’s Ocean Adventure Park (Good or Evil plenty of both)

If you arent up for goals and Fens is a bit crowded or not to your liking, Ocean Park is a great spot to level in. There is some Aggro in this area however it can be mitigated by purchasing a day pass in the Token Ticket booth.

While there are plenty of mobs in this area, the Evil mobs are a bit tricky to get to without having the goal done.

5nd kill the bodyguards to get passed (they are a bit tougher then you might expect, slit or choke might help here)

Once the bodyguards are taken out run 2se to A Compelling Vortex [**> PK <**] and ‘Enter Whirlpool’

Then run esesesesenenenenwnwnwneseses3d; enter vortex.

This zone is quite excellent for getting to SuperHero as well as when getting Powerups at Superhero.

————————-

So you want to create a guide for promotion requirements*, but WordPress is a mystery? Look no further!

*This works for AQ/Goal posting as well but that was a less fun title to write. There’s details about how to specify which it is later in the guide.

Make sure you’re logged into the website. You should see a “+ New” option in the top left corner of the website:

Hover over it, and select “Post”:

Now, you need to give your post a name in the “Add title” field, and some content in the body field.

There are a lot of formatting options for the body itself. The default is a rich-text type editor that lets you insert pictures (you need to have them uploaded to an image host first), format text, make lists, change font, and play with colors, and all that fun stuff. There are also a lot of options in the menu just above the body editor. If you’re into digging into code, there is a “Text” tab at the top right of the body editor that lets you edit the HTML, but if you’re into that, you probably didn’t need this guide to begin with *grin*

Now that you’re done with all your writing, you’re almost done with the guide! Almost.

On the far right side of the page is a box labeled “Categories”. Since we’re writing a Guide, check “Member-Guides”. If you’re cheating and using this guide for writing an AQ/Goal instead, check that box 🙂

You’re done! You can hit submit! ALMOST 🙂 If you scroll all the way up, in the top right corner you’ll see another box labeled “Publish”:

Before you click the fancy “Submit for Review” button, I suggest clicking the “Preview” button in the top right. That will open a new window with your page as it currently stands, and you can make sure it looks right. Once you’re happy, close that window, then click “Submit for Review”. It will sit in that queue for review perpetually, so you have one more job: pester a General and let them know you have a guide written and waiting for approval.

P.S.: Looks like WordPress will now take you to ANOTHER screen with ANOTHER “Submit for Review” button in the top right. Click that, too. It doesn’t seem to close the window, so you get to close the window or navigate away, and pray that it actually saved and submitted.

This is to help those cope with or address an issue with etiquette or some standing rules of etiquette.

Although BOOT has etiquette which follows most of the basic guidelines as the mud wide rules. We do have a clan talk that is rated R not all channels are rated that way.

Simply type help policies1 this will help a lot when dealing with the general population on Aardwolf, reason I am posting this is I did have my own encounter and surprised, I wasn’t gagged or coms banned for a bit. If you have an issue or think you have an issue, talk with our staff. They are knowledgeable and  guide you as they deem it should. Surprisingly, and without doubt, the staff has your back.

Apologize, even if the person you apologize to doesn’t seem to accept. Be the bigger person, goes along way. This apology is to the channels you was wrong on and to the clan channel. Next off except punishment if it is going to be doled out. But in reality, before it gets this far, log off, go afk do something other then being rude on channel.

Scenario.

Problem: You are in a room and engaged and killing a mob, someone comes into the room, cons room and proceeds to area clear the mob.
Issue: Was this person wrong and rude, just rude or his/her right to do it. Even if this happens multiple times. Let your staff know a name so everyone can watch.

Answer: Although you may think of it as rude, he/she technically can engage mobs you are not fighting. Is it proper etiquette, probably not. But move on.

Do you address this issue you have? If you do, do it in tells, not everyone in public channel(s) wants to hear it, but still use some form of etiquette.

In closing, there is always away to handle things, no matter if heated or not, just cause it is a texted based game, doesn’t mean people don’t have feelings on other side of the keyboard. Words hurt and can hurt even if typed. And if take it to heart, take time to log off or to calm down. Trust me it works. If have more questions or the likes, can contact me Vanhatai or any of the staff. There always willing to help!

The mapper is a powerful tool to get around the world and take notes about its various areas. In this guide, we’ll be covering basic exploration, note taking and movement with the practical application of mapping out useful items in the various manor zones. Items, especially potions, in these manor shops are not enumerated by commands such as “potsearch” and thus we need to build our own database.

Requirements: Aardwolf MUSHclient with the mapper plugin. Links to downloads, documentation and source repos located here.

Manor Areas:

• Manormount
• Manorwoods
• Manorville
• Manorsea
• Manor1
• Manor3
• Manorisle

Exploration:

• Run to one of the manor areas
• Explore as much of the area as you possibly can.
  • Don’t worry about stopping at the shops right now or missing exits here and there, the mapper is keeping track of the rooms and their exits.
• After you feel that you’ve searched as much as you can for the area, type “mapper unmapped here”
  • This will show all rooms in the current area that have an unmapped exploration and the direction of the unmapped exits
  • The mapper text output is interactive! You may click on a row and this will take you to the room in the record.
  • More detail may be found by typing in “mapper help exploring”

Shop enumeration:

• Now that you have a fairly complete map of the area, type “mapper shops here”
  • This command will list out every shop in the area. The text output is also interactive!
  • Iterate through each shop. When you find something useful or interesting, take a note per the instructions below!
  • More detail may be found by typing “mapper help searching”

Note taking:

• When in the shop with an interesting item, type “mapper addnote”.
  • A dialogue box will pop up to enter a descriptive note for the room
  • More detail may be found by typing in “mapper help searching” and “mapper help utils”

Getting back to a room:

• Now that you have a few shops with notes, you may list them back out using “mapper notes manor”
  • When running the “mapper notes <area>” command, the <area> parameter searches all areas containing the expression.
    • e.g. “mapper notes manor” will search all areas containing the word manor
  • The text is interactive! If you’d like to get back to a room, just click on the record.
  • More detail may be found by typing in “manor help searching”

This guide should provide a foundation for general exploration and providing additional context around the mapper’s capabilities and other plugins which leverage the mapper, such as Search and Destroy, in order to spark further research of the mapper and its extensive capabilities. With this knowledge, this article intends to expand your ability to explore zones, take notes and build out faster and more accurate pathing for quests, campaigns, and global quests. Happy mudding!
