[Challenge] Master of Exploration

[ParceQueFraiSe]

Ok Thx Dellion. I had try this place too but I fell in the fake ground, so I start on the box in left and make a long jump with rocket boot

Where was the last spot... looks a lot like Stormwind but I know it isn't... is that Culling of Stratholme?

Yes it is

Absolutely correct! I think you're actually one crack over from where I was (there are two down there), but I'll allow it.

Your spots have been amazing lately BTW, in both MoE threads. A true explorer's explorer!

Parce, you're killing me with this one! I was certain it was the sunken ruins in Thousand Needles but I went there and the arrangement of the models, water colour etc. just didn't match up - you know how much I love my Titan stuff and if this really isn't the 1000 Needles place...then I need to know

I'll be checking out similarly coloured water around the place in appropriate zones see if that turns up anything but for the moment I'm a bit stumped!

[WizardTrokair]

OMFG StrangleTusk... I was also there and the arrangement of models had me baffled too! I sent a private message to Parce this morning with practically the same thing you posted above! Now I need to post it here since you made it public, lol...

This has be baffled like you wouldn't believe! Not because I don't have a clue... but because I do... I must be so close!! I don't think that English is your first language, hopefully you can decipher my rambling words.

As soon as I saw your shot I recognized it...almost. I've been coincidentally hanging out under Zul'Farrak lately exploring... and I was at a location just two nights ago that looked JUST like your screenshot... only without the water!! It was under the old Shimmering Flats part of Zul'Farrak off to the side, I was exploring on the top and the sides of the cave down there using Tigers and Blink.

So I see your shot with the water and figure, "oh, he must be in the real world Azeroth version of what I've been exploring"... so I head over to what used to be the Shimmering Flats, and of course it is underwater now, so I think that this is good and I am on the right track. Only I go under the world and go where I think you are... and I cannot find that particular location where you're standing on one of the angled walls and looking at the two straight walls. On the angled wall I am standing, there is only one straight wall in front of me. I was at least able to figure out that you are standing on an angled wall.

So I've determined that I am extremely close... I'm in pursuit and on the trail... I'll figure this out! NO HINTS, PLEASE! Just wanted to let you know my progress and that I am having fun. My guess is that it is either in the ZF instance and I missed the water, or it is very close by to the old Shimmering Flats where I already am. Either that or in a totally different location (like Loch Modan or something) that has the same sort of columns. I will figure this out! Hehe.

I'm at work... so you'll probably find it first... but so curious to see where this one ends up! No hints! Lets see who gets to it first..


PS - Parce, who is your new exploration partner? Have you gone the route of Dellion and found yourself an exploration girlfriend?

[ParceQueFraiSe]

Just I read my mails and read the last posts, It make me happy than you Trokair and Strangletusk accept the challenge
Like you see It's in water and not in the 1000 Needles, I don't give more hint for the moment, just there are not lot of place with model like this so I'm sure one of you will find it
Good Luck and have fun

HAHA is not my girlfriend^^ , first I m a girl, and this cute gnome is Neiluge, a friend and guild mate (he has made account here too) and he explore with me and help sometimes. (you can see him too in my screenshot of molten front in the same thread p48 )

[WizardTrokair]

Oh wow... .ParceQueFraiSe is a GIRL! I didn't think exploration even had girls... or the internet for that matter!

And yes, challenge accepted. I look forward to looking for this spot... if someone else doesn't beat us to it!

[Ellion]

Oh wow... .ParceQueFraiSe is a GIRL!

Are you seriously? O_o
There are no girls on the internet (c)

edit*
And I have no idea where is this place.

[Strangletusk]

...I'm a girl...

Mind. Blown.

OT: This is a bleeding amazing challenge, I thought I knew my Titan explorations but obviously not! Oh and sorry for being so...well, public about it Trokair :P

I'm not so sure I'll find it before you tbh, I'm really struggling - I know a few places with these pillars, but none of them, sadly, are in water or have the right arrangement of objects. The search continues!

[WizardTrokair]

I'm not so sure I'll find it before you tbh

I have a full time office job, and I'm married with children. I'll be lucky if I can get online by Friday!

[Nyarly]

and this cute gnome

Mind. Blown.

OT : it really looks like elves ruins in feralas to me.
