Lol, I have sooo many Screenie's like this.. But i'm so lazy that i'll probably forget to upload them by the end of the day.

So, I'll just tell you where they are :)

Howling Mountains

-You can get a pretty surreal pic in the Hidden Valley Mines.
-The entrance to Deadtree Cave is pretty nice, almost like the Silverstar Tree.
-The Logar Windmill can make an artistic shot.

Silverspring

-There is a lonely, abandoned farm on the road to Varanas upon entering Silverspring. Find it, and you can take some nice shots.
-The Kobold Island in Silverspring can be a nice landscape shot after you clear all the mobs.
-The entrance to Varanas itself is phenominal, check it out if you haven;t done so. (I'm not gonna name all the lilttle spots within Varanas, but there are quite a few)
-If you climb up a hill near the entrance to FA, you can get a birds-eye-view of the Church (zooming in to first-person).
-The graves around FA are nice.
-The actual corridors of the church, as well as the tomb before entering the instance look pretty gothic.
-One of the farms has a little entrace to it, where you can take a picture or two.
-Zurhidon Camp always looks cool lol.
-Oblivion Shrine and that whole Area is also pretty nice
-the Hermit's house in the middle of the lake in Silverpring can make for a good picture.

Aslan Valley

-the Black Tree near Quilana Camp also looks cool.
-There are some great waterfall pics to be taken on the road to Silverfall.
-Silverfall's Bridge.
-Some monuments in the Goblin encampment, as well as the Jade Valley.
-The inside/outside of the distillery
-the relic, the island, and the water surrounding the Lake of Eternal Silence are pro.

Ystra Highlands

-Some minotaur monuments can be picture worthy
-MA is definatly picture worthy, both inside, and out.
-Those "lightning" totems are fun to look at.
-Foxtrot(Foxtrap?) Cave
-Ferrets in the Sea of Snow.
-Louie August's lonely tent in the Sea of Snow.
-The steel transitioning area between Ystra and DDC.

Dust Devil Canyon

-ALL of OS, that place is freaking awesome.
-Tempest Height.
-Queen's Chamber.
-That mine with the scorpions and lizards; both deep inside and the outside are cool.
-Hawk's cliff; I'm sure you could get a nice, zonewide view from the top.
-KS, both the outsie and the inside are very very nice.

Ravenfell

-Abandoned Port
-Black Sail Camp
-Throne of Wind
-That place where Huck resides.
-Ghost Town.
-TT

Dragonfang Ridge
-Cyclops Lair
-The whole Ice Drawf area
-The whole Gnoll area.
-Kadmos is nice and secluded.
-The road to Kadmos with all the Dragons.
-


I seriously think I've taken all of the shots you just described. rofl Except for Ravefell and DDC (<--just got there) and the road to Kadmos with the dragons. I hate those foul beasts with a passion, and I doubt I'll ever take a shot of them. XD Thanks for the tips! I can't wait to get to Ravenfell. :)

Elven, i ran out of time(class started) before i finished the rest of the zones, lol.

But since you haven't been to DDC and Ravenfell yet, I won't ruin the surprises for you.

I will say this, however. Weeping Coast, Savage Lands, Autoulia Volcano, Thunderhoof Hills, Southern Janoast forest, and especially Northern Janoast forest have the best design in the game imo.

the bolded are because the zones are just massive, and thus have so many very, very cool places.

One last note, btw. In Dragonfang ridge, go check out the Temple of Mysteries. There is an unused instance portal there that has been there since Chapter One. There are no quests that lead to it, or even remotly mention it. There are barely any quests in the surrounding area. Also, the whole area has a mystical, old-time theme and feel about it, complete with it's own zone music. I seriously suggest checking it out.

Also, for future reference, there is an unused instance portal in Thunderhoof hills, waay at the end of the valley of glory. Again, same situation as the Temple of Mysteries. Long, forgotten ruins, an unused instance portal, and imo, one of the best musical tracks in the game.

Mysterious, huh?

Happy Hunting!

I actually went to the Savage Lands with my 30 Rogue (I was trying to sneak through HoS...hrm) because I died and rezzed there. That zone is really cool looking - I like the sort of tropical feel to it. Can't wait!

Oh, and the Temple of Mysteries? Found that too. :D I was questing up there a looong time ago and I decided to check it out. I like the look of the place - I kinda wish it was an instance, though. Even still, it's nice to go someplace that hardly anyone else knows about and just gather while you listen to the music. :)

With the slow pace that I'm levelling at, I doubt I'll ever reach level cap - but that's fine by me. :) It's worth it to do a bit of exploring.

Lol I was there exploring for my previously posted pictures. Oh and for Elven, The pic i posted of the giant statue with stairs leading up to it is of the Valley of Glory. Theres a whole group of these massive statues (clearly the biggest statues in the game, easily outshinning the minotaurs in Ystra) I have pics of all of them but I Didnt post the others.

I hope they plan to add to these areas. THH is fairly new still so I understand it having unused places. That valley looks like it would have one of the toughest instances in the game. When you walk through it you cant help but feel ur in the presence of power. Idk the music track ill have to turn my game volume back on :p always listening to my own music when i play...

yeeeeessssss lol

Also, if you ever get to fully explore the inside of Origin, that's one sexy zone. ZS is another hella sexy instance, and HoS in certain spots. DoD if you know how to angle the camara right. KS, Paspers, these are great too.

Oh, also, be sure to chekc out the Jr'yna Elven place over there in NJF. It's like an evil version of Savage Lands/Elven Island.

Awesome! Thanks for the tips, guys! I can't wait to start exploring. :D

Every time I log in, I see those huge statues and I'm like "I wanna go there!" It looks epic. :) I usually switch between my own music and the in-game music. I turn off the Aslan valley music because I personally hate that zone >.< but the Ystra and Tagena music rocks. Oh yeah, and so does the instance's music.

Jy'rna, hmm...? Can't wait to get there, then! I made the mistake of starting 6 characters and putting three of them in guilds. Terenth is in a private guild, but he's my main, so I want to work on him to most (just hit 40!). But I feel like I need to work on my other two in-guild characters because I love my guildies! (And it would be nice to have a high-level rogue :P) I seem to work myself into a corner like this alot >.< Ah, well.

I think when I get home I'm gonna have to get to work with photoshop and have some fun :)

In the meantime here are a couple of favorite screenies, not all taken by me.




I just love how you can walk right up on Uguda before starting the fight, excellent screenshot moment :)

Awesome! Really cool shots - the first shot is my fave. :D

And handstands are FUN! Nice how you got it on the back of the chair. :D Man, I can't wait until I can start running the higher instances!

Oh, well. I guess I'll have to stick with NoM and (as soon as I can get a party together...)MA.

I tried going through HoS with my 30 Rogue (http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z389…1101_204452.jpg) and you can imagine how well that worked out. XD (http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z389…1101_205134.jpg) I didn't get past the first group of mobs...


And does this look familiar to anyone...? XD

Apparently, they were goofing off acting like little kids when I got home. Just floating there as if they were falling. Silly housekeepers. :rolleyes:

Got to love 'em. :D Personally, I'm glad I have someone to come home to after adventuring...even if they are a bit strange at times. ;)

Woah. No, I haven't. That's strange that I never noticed it before (of course, I was usually fleeing from mobs, so I didn't have much time to enjoy the scenery) I will totally have to check that out the next time I'm up there. :D

But wait...what are you doing in Ystra? ;)

Go to Aslan, and find the Shaman, Eno. Go behind him into what looks to be a small library. Check it out if you haven't done so ^^
