Special Places in Paradise Found
Botnick's Lode
The Botnick Lode Mine entrance is located in the mining hills north east
of Minoc. There are several ways to get to this wonderful mine. You can
either walk there, use the Moongate in the North East corner of the
Training Oasis, use the Blue Rune Book on the first floor of the Rune
Library or have someone take you there.
As you enter the mine you will see that it twists and turns. Every step
you take along the floor you can mine. As you walk along you will find a
place to tame your own pack animals to help you carry your ore. There
are forges in each shaft that you can use to smelt your ore as you work
so there is no need to leave once you start mining.
There are several mines you can select from to work up your mining. You
can choose from:
- Abandoned Shaft which is up the ladder
just after the pack animals. in this shaft you will see a nice waterfall,
paintings and decaying wreckage from miners past.
- Working clockwise around the mine the
next shaft is Fire Shaft. Here you will walk down the cave and see Fire
deco and flaming spires that are rather beautiful to watch.
- Crystal Shaft - here you will see
various crystals and sparkling stones
- Mushroom Shaft where you will see
various colorful mushrooms and a huge vat of water. to get back out walk
between the two stalagmites in the center room.
- Frozen Shaft where you will see frozen
trees and ice spires.
- Next there is a ramp to go to another
mine shaft called Blood Shaft. There you will see decaying meat and
blood on the ground.
- Lastly we have the Shaft of Graves where
you will see grave stones from miners who used to mine here.
All in all this is a wonderful safe
place to mine many types of ore.
Casino
In the delightful town of Skara Brae is a wonderful place called the
Casino. There are many different slot machines you can try your luck at,
and they vary in price per spin.
As you double click the machine it will tell you how much it costs per
spin, how many credits you have in the machine and the last pay out you
received. It will tell you at the very top how much the progressive
jackpot is currently worth. It also tells you when the last jackpot was
won and who won it and the amount they received. Along the bottom there
are three options. Spin which spins the wheel. Cash Out which gives you
your winnings. and ATM which pulls money from the bank. Be sure when you
pull money out using the ATM that you check your bank balance otherwise
you could end up broke.
Be sure to check out the Turbo Slots Top Ten Players list on the
bulliten board next to the bar.
Donation Store display
When you first land in the city of Nujelm you'll see to the north area a
display of many special items. These are items only obtainable through
donations to the shard which help to maintain the cost of running the
server and upgrades as needed. By no means is this required. These are
just items setup as a thank you for your donations.
Event center
Found on the Travel Stones/Wands this area is full of many Moongates to
all kinds of different Event areas. Most Moongates you need only left
click once upon them to see where they lead to. In this area you'll find
gates to places such as the Full Champ Spawn, Private Champ Spawns, PvP
Arena, Marble Island a staff events area, and much much more. Also this
area is home to The Knowledge Library which holds many books on many
aspects of the game which explain quite a bit in detail, check it out
for lots of great information.
Fishing Hole
You can get to the mid ocean Fishing Hole throught the moongate near the
Vesper Docks. The Fishing Hole is useful for several reasons. It is
located in deep water, so you can train your fishing up even witout a
boat. You can use the area for guild events by tossing multiple fishing
nets into the water. This causes multiple creatures to spawn, and if
tossed into the hole in the center, it keeps them somewhat contained
there. But be warned, the ancient nets can spell disaster for even the
most fearsome of warriors!
At the fishing hole there is a beehive bell if you double click this an
NPC will appear and bring you a wonderful gift. Be armed and bring help
because he will drop a skeletal dragon on your head and this dragon is
MEAN. There is a res anhk right on the docks so you do not have to leave
to res. I found this useful especially when finishing up the ninjitsu
skill using death strike on the skeletal dragon.
Great Draque's Mine
Once again there are several ways to get to this wonderful mine. You can
either walk there, use the Moongate in the North East corner of the
Training Oasis, use the Blue Rune Book on the first floor of the Rune
Library or have someone take you there.
The Great Draque Mine entrance is located just north of Britain
BlackSmith shop. There is a little wooden house at coordinates 1444 1515
40. Inside is a teleporter right to the mine. There are several forges
and anvils, so you can dig ore, smelt it and train your Blacksmithy too.
Also near the entrance you can see all the different types of new rare
gems (on their name is writen the type of ore from which they are found).
Items, Addon's & Reward display areas
In these areas you'll find many of the custom things that have been
added to our shard. Some are quest rewards and some are purchased either
via a vendor stone or from staff when you send them a PM. Many of the
areas have books or signs to tell you what the cost of an item is and
how to obtain it.
There are a few different locations for these Displays, one which can be
found just south of the Player Vendor area that hosts the new addons
that cost a combination of Gold and Platinum coins. Also you can get
there through moongate located at Paradise mall.
The others can be found right on the Travel Stone/Wand in the Special
Paradise section labeled:
- Paradise Mall - Paradise Mall is
located on the 2nd floor of Lord British's Castle in Felucca. You can
walk there by foot, or you can use the Travel Stone/Wand by going to
Special Paradise and then Paradise Mall.
Here you will find a large selection of helpful things for your
character, homes, storage needs and much deco that is not available
anywhere else in the shard. Many functional items, such as the supply
chests, can be opened to view what types of things they can store for
you or what they do. Many of these areas have vendor stones already
setup for your convenient shopping pleasure, but there are many things
also that will need to be handled by Staff members and are therefore
needed to be paged for in game. Just send a PM to any online staff
member and they will assist you with your purchases and placements if
needed also.many items made
available to purchase, many addons, items, and special staff placed
decor.
- Silver Rewards - many items available for purchase with the silver coins.
- Platinum Rewards - The newest addition to the coin rewards lies to the north of the
Silver Rewards Display around the stairways. Here you'll find some of
the newest rewards added for this new coin that is acquired by using the
new [claim or [cl commands on dead corpses of your kills. Be sure to
loot them first or all loot is lost though!
- Quest Rewards - Addons display for the
New Addons Quest rewards.
- Artifact House - Items purchasable via a
vendor at this location. Be prepared to toss this vendor many coins for
these items.
Marble Island (Staff run Events
Location)
Marble Island is home to many Staff Run events on Paradise Found. Lots
of monster bashes are held here along with many other types of events.
Watch chat for spuratic events held at this location and just head to
the nearest Travel Stone or use your Travel Wand where you'll find this
Moongate in the Events Center listed in the Special Paradise section.
Paradise Postal Service
In the Eastern area of Britain, across the bridge, you'll find the
Postal Service office just east of Karosus, Power Scroll Crafter. Within
the Post Office building you'll find a postal worker that will gladly
sell you a Mailbox for 5k. You can buy multiple mailboxes so you can use
one at your home (put in a location outside where anyone can reach it)
and even one for your Guildhouse so that you can easily exchange
messages, orders, items etc.
When you get your mailbox, secure it at the location and then set the
box for 'Anyone' so that Anyone can put something in it. This still
allows only you to open the box to retrieve things, the security setting
is only for who you want to be able to drop things in it.
NOTE: The Postal worker will look for the gold INSIDE your
backpack not in your bank so be sure you have the 5k gold on you 'before'
you go in the building. This NPC is on a timer so if you don't have the
gold and aren't ready to purchase the box when he opens his trade window
upon detecting your presense, you will have to wait a while before he
will offer to sell to you again.
Player Vendor Mall
The player vendor mall is area where players can have their vendors
placed to sell their goods. You can see the basic Rules and how to have
your vendors placed in the books on the table next to the Travel Stone
in the Player Vendor area.
There are quite a few vendors in the vendor mall already, but it is
without a doubt the most commonly used area by players when looking to
purchase things. As the old saying goes, "Location is everything".
Much more informations about vendors you can read here.
Rune Library
The Paradise Found Rune Library can be found in the Feluccian city of
Moonglow (coordinates 40 9 N 142 22 W), also found on the Travel Stone/Wand
in the Special Paradise section. It is a large 3 story building just
east of the Inn and just west of the blacksmith shop at the south end of
town.
Inside the library, you can find runes for many useful locations,
including several quests, all the towns (including spots of interest),
dungeons, dungeon entrances, orc forts, cemetaries, areas of interest,
prisoner camps, escorts, a full treasure map rune set and training areas
for your evo creatures (evo dragons and evo mercenaries). Chances are,
if there is something that you are looking for, the rune library will
have what you are looking for. All the rune books are labelled for easy
referencing. If for some reason you can't find the spot that you are
looking for, ask for help from the players on the shard. You will find
that they are both friendly and helpful.
Teleporters to ML Dungeons
To get to the ML dungeons you can use not only Travel stones/Travel wands, but also teleporters. There is a house in Moonglow (right to the North of bank) where teleporters to Mondain's Legacy dungeons are placed. In that place you can see statuetes of bosses in each ML dungeon. Moving cursor over the pedestal will tell you name of dungeons and next to each pedestal you can see what items to the Ark of Virtues can be found in this dungeon.
The Knowledge Library
This area is home many books on many aspects of the game which explain
quite a bit in detail, check it out for lots of great information. You'll
find information here from basic workings of the game to detailed
aspects of some of the extended skills. You can find this in the Event
Center (via the travel stone/wand) and walk to east and a bit north.
Trinsic House of Hues
In the Trinsic Dye House you'll find a myriad of dye tubs with so many
colors to choose from that if you can't find one it just doesn't exist!
(well ok it might but these are the coolest ones!). Once you land in
Trinsic just follow the spilled paint puddles you'll find on the ground. Be prepared to part
with a bit of gold as the prices range at this time from 2500 to 10000
GP per use of the tub. There are no practice tests here so be sure
before you try that you know you want that color. The charge is
instantly taken from your bank and there are no refunds.
NOTE: most of those colors are custom. To see new colors, read also this info.
