Altador Plot (66th split)

[Mkali]

Okay, to save me going up to the thousands, how high do the room numbers go?

I thought it would stop at 18 but right now I'm on 33 (3x 33y)

[GrimAngel]

i typed in 99 as part of my cord and it loaded a room. so this is why i'm thinking there thinking is something flawed

[Hangman]

Back to room number 6, 6 for me then...watch it be one of the books I missed.

Good luck I'm still searching too, I'm just checking everything with a multiple of 3 in it just to be sure and I'm at 0,12 right now, so let's hope it won't be something with a 21 in it, cause I am going through it like this:

0,3
3,3
3,0

0,6
3,6
6,6
6,3
6,0

...

So this might take a while...

You cast spell number 7,236.

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a Grue.

Anyone know what the heck is a grue?

Incase the same thing has happened as it did with the Vaelous thingy and the space in the page, are people just getting room urls with simple x and y axis numbers and then nothing or things like this

http://www.neopets.com/altador/archives.phtml?
goarch=7512346a1964a55cca37e35c63be6cc0&arcx=3&
arcy=40&cmhv=f18548e10caf280316e4a02e5ee98dad

and then for books is this...natural? http://www.neopets.com/altador/archives.phtml?
goarch=7512346a1964a55cca37e35c63be6cc0&arcx=3&
arcy=40&read_book=d54d69da3117ceb1a0038940eefd3e4c

or is my IE being mean

[Nefasturris]

Grue! This entire frustrating mess is worth it just because they mentioned a grue!

*goes back to searching for her spellbook*

Ah. Nice

[dreamer]

Great. Now I'm stuck in the archives.

How do I change the coordinates to check all the books? And how do I know which rooms to check?



Mkali - My url's look the same as yours.

Thank gods, because I had no clue what was going on with all that changing the number issued to the book read...it's just numbers and letters for me *sobs* I must go and get ready for my meal, must not let this...this thing eat up my time

I may just throw the keyboard through the monitor. 5 freakin' hours I've been at this!!! It's insane! Why can't TNT make it the same for everyone? Make it nice and level?

I've given up on Avant again. I was doing two rooms, when it could barely load one.

This is driving me nuts... I think the monitor would look nice with something sticking out of it...

EDIT: I'm taking a break. I'm going food shopping, to see if it clears my head at all -_-

For what it's worth, I was in room 21, 12 when I found my book (for all my griping, I didn't think it would be that quickly).

A recap, based on what I have read, about finding the book:
1) Click the door handle in the altadorian archive lobby to reach the archives. You will be in room 0, 0.
2) Click the top or right-hand door to enter a new room. You will be in room 0, 1 or room 1, 0. If you are confused about these room coordinates, look at the URL for the room and notice where it says "arcx=" and "arcy="
3) Change the x and y to 3 and 3. This is the lowest room people have said they have found their correct book.
4) Click your mouse cursor in the bold text reading "Altadorian archives." Then press the tab button four times...this will cycle you through the doors.
Press tab three more times to get to book number 3. This is the first book you will investigate. Press CTRL+Enter to open the link in a new tab (firefox is great for this...I tried it with IE, and it kept losing my place in the room, so I'd have to start over). Press tab three more times...this will take you to book number 6, and investigate this book, and so on.

There are 31 books in the room. You will only need to look at a total of ten of them (counting from the first book your tabbing will select, you will look at book numbers 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, and 30). Apparently, one person has found their book as number 10, so you may want to check all books in any given room.

5) Once you have investigated and ruled out all of the books, go to the next room by changing x and y in your browser URL box. Change it to a multiple of three - so from (6, 6), go to room (6, 9) and so on until you reach (6, 21). Then, change x and y to (9, 6) and go through room (9, 21), then room (12, 6) and so on. The highest room people have found books in as far as I know is room (21, 21), though I have also heard of someone finding it in (15,24), so you may want to continue on through the higher numbers if you haven't found it yet.

None of this information is my original info...it's gleaned from reading what's been going on so far.

The books are clickable in my rooms only up to coordiates 100x100. And 12x12 did not contain the book for me.

I just saw someone on the neoboards saying they found their book at 15, 24 or a similar dimension, so it seems the books go higher than 21, 21.

*wails*

I will try again tomorrow

Before I cover the mouse in ketchup and chow down

You are in a maze of twisty little archives, all alike.
