[World Building] Elemental Plateau without flying mount

[Staarwind]

Here's my first model edit I've made public:

Use this model edit to fill tile behind the "Throne of Elements" (19,33) with water, allowing you to swim to the Elemental Plateau without a flying mount.
Enjoy, and don't get caught!

As requested, here is footage of this model edit working on an official live 2.3.2 server:

This is nice but probably easy ban when a 70 sees a lowbie on elemental plateu unless you use this at 70 because you're too cheap to buy your flyer ^_^

There are a couple legitimate ways for someone under level 70 to be on the plateau..

1. 68-69 druid that used flight form
2. Getting a summon from a warlock friend

In my case, this is the only level 70 I have on this server and I needed to get to a good gold farming spot. I'm planning on camping her up there and farming the gold I need for a real flyer

This should ALWAYS go without saying.. but as I said before, don't get caught!

Quick question, it appeared that EVERYTHING had water in it. Wouldn't someone see you swimming in mid-air and think "Hmmm, somethings not right"?


Edit: If that's the case, wouldn't it be more logical to stop the water at the earth elementals?

Other than that, pretty decent, and useful edit.

thanks for the constructive criticism dude ^_^

<noob>
I would have only made water in certain areas, but i'm not sure how to do that with Cryects allwater.exe. I just flew to the plateau with my main character, and read the .adt tile coordinates with ADTInfo. Then I ran allwater.exe and set a high water level for that tile.. are there other ways to go about this?

Wouldn't you drown? lol XD but i think a hole in the cliff with "stairs" leading up would be much more secret
