Hello, I have composed a new area which I think you might be interested in. It is situated in the southern part of Resthaven, near the rocky mountain path, and is called Magnavex. Magnavex is a world where only very few weapons, not metal weapons, can do damage. It is mainly for Rangers and Thieves, but these aren't the only classes that can go there. I would say that you would have to be about lvl 27-30 to go there. Magnavex has many death traps, and monsters that hit hard. On this floor there is a boss called the Copper Duke. You have to kill him to get to the next level, the Deep Magnavex. If you get this far, and go through the Deep Magnavex you will get to Castelle Mortem. Castelle Mortem is sort of like the museum, but the monsters hit harder and there are many more. The castle has five floors, each having an individual duke to kill to grant access to the next level. It could maybe go like Bronze duke>Steel duke>Granite Duke>Silver Duke>Golden Duke. Each duke will be each floor, granting access to the next floor. . On the fifth floor you have to destroy the Golden Duke first, and then behind it is the final boss, Magnezium. He hits for 100-180 damage and has about the same hp as the GSW. Of course, you can change any bits that you want to. I have also made maps for every area, including where magnavex will start. At magnezium if you go north there is a portal that will take you to your local. Magnezium will drop either a new bow.. not made yet.. still working on it OR a dagger for a thief.
So what you people think?

Sounds pretty good. Any descriptions for monsters/areas/items?

[Xcelon]

sorry about the items and monsters and gold.. my eleven yr old brain cannot work that fast
I have made some maps.
If you click here, you will go to a map made by samus, but I have used it to mark the beginning of Magnavex.
Here is Magnavex.
Here is Deep Magnavex.
Here is the first floor of Castelle Mortem.
Here is the second.
Give me about a week and I will have all the monsters and gold and items etc coverd. The gold should be about the same as Museum third floor, and the monsters will be twice or three times as hard as modern art sculptures. The dukes, they will be harder as you go on... the first one on magnavex will give you 2k and gain you access to the other floors. As you progress to each boss 2k gets added on.. so it will go 4k 6k 8k 10k and then the last boss before magnezium will drop 12k. Magnezium will drop about 100k, plus the weapons. It will be a bow or dagger. I can't think of any names though :-\ Mebbe you can help me! It could be a Magnetic Dagger, or The bow of Magnezium or something.
EDIT: The green spots on the second floor are marks of monsters.. they could be called Frenzied Swords or something... /shrug

When you say "Magnezium" do you mean "Magnesium"? The metal thingy on the Periodic Table? Or did you just make up a new type of metal? ^__^

Assuming its magnesium like the periodic table... am I taking the game too seriously if I point out that scientifically making a bow out of magnesium would not only be foolish, but very hard?

Not to mention taking it outside ^^

Magnesium... twould be too soft to aim and release... would likely break ^^;; The oxidation rate would cause it to tarnish near immediately... and I sure wouldn't want to be holding it when it started raining :s

Edit: Just realised that it kinda looks a little bad if I don't make any comments on the actual idea ^^;;
You actually seem to have planned this area out fairly well :)
I can't check your maps at the moment because I'm on a fussy old computer that won't load them, but I'll be sure to check them out later

What I will say... is that I understood that no area can ever be 'laid out' exactly as it is on the forums, because people who have read the thread would have a fairly obvious advantage ^^
So if those maps you've made are intended to be accurate, you might want to start thinking of a secret alternative layout ;)

lol.. I dont know... thats prolly where i got magnezium from Hmmm HELP ME THINK OF A BETTER NAME! Magneticus? Something to do with magnatizium as normal metal weapons dont work as well.. thats why rangers and thieves with EB and DoS or ID etc will work well.

Shoot for originality, perhaps 'Magneto'? Oman, I'm way too creative.

*Charon is awed by Deval's creativity*

However... Magneto's kinda taken, with him being a person (sort of) and Xavier's brother and all... the good(or was that evil) ol' magnetic mutant

Hmm, strange names strange names... How about Utenite, Yzagotium, Ilumnatum Exantium, Myzenite... I'm sure I can think of more. Perhaps I'll come back later with some ^^

[Squee]

It doesn't really need to be made of some exotic metal...even simple things like wood can be enchanted. I would much rather have a bow, full of secrets and wonder instead of a bow made of some rare mineral.

...But that's just me.

[Deval]

I'd prefer a bow I can wear in my hair.

Oh I've seen the pictures you placed in off topic... you don't need one sweetie
But I you're real sure, I'm sure I can find one that will match that lovely red outfit and the stockings and heels if I try


That said, yes description and lore is worth more to me than name...
however names on their own are a lot easier to come up with on the spur of the moment ^^
They can be random words, they dont have to make sense, I dont have to check my grammar, and I dont feel like I need to buy a thesaurus (still dont have one of those dammit >.<)

Anyhow, I'm sure Xcelon will make the descriptions more than just names when he writes them

[ice_cold]

i gotta be honest, i dont like the idea. I dont think that youve thought it through and have no descriptions or really given us an idea about what the monsters will be. You also never want to post maps, but from te one i looked at, it didnt seem very hazardous as the traps are at the tips of off branches to the area.

I'm afraid I agree with Ice_Cold on this one.

horribly off topic, but Magneto is not Xavier's brother at all, but his best friend (or lover, depending on how you interpret (blah. forgive my spelling) the comics/movie...), and a bad guy, who ends up becoming a good guy. Juggernaut (probably butchered this) is the brother of Xavier.

wow. I AM such a nerd. x.x

[Xcelon]

ah well.. i tried... mebbe i should of thought it through a bit more... thx anyway charon for helping me think of names And it could probably just be below lvl 25... i agree it does look kinda easy.

i like the idea, but too complicated...make it a more simple, i dont get y metal weapons dont work there, thats stupid...btw, nice maps, im looking forward 2 going there. if they make it.

[kar]

o, 4got, make it so that the traps r always in differant places, that way its more exciting.

[Squee]

...Too complicated...? o_O;

You kill monsters, kill the boss, move to the next level then repeat.

((Don't double post! Argh...use the edit button!)) >_>
