Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) We've had several comment positively on our deed and many have been interested in its layout/design.So we are posting here to share our experience... My wife (Awngeleak) and I (Tuanta) bought Cape Hazard a few months back.We renamed it to Waterdeep and began work... (The name seemed fitting since it is located on the West Coast and I am a fan of "old school" D&D)Location: Waterdeep (x4, y19) located on a Peninsula (Turned Island) in the Central West Coast of Pristine (Size 59x57) Before:Overlook Work in progress: After:OverlookDesign:Above ground (All tree and bush types, large farm and ranch areas, Monastery "Fo, Magranon, and Vynora", Path of Love & Knowledge, and all trade "Leatherworking, Blacksmithing, Masonry, Carpentry, Kitchen, Tailoring, etc" buildings)Below ground (At least one of every ore type all utmost quality and 10,000 remaining actions) Additional pictures:North side at water level outside Carpentry building. (Will be placing merchants at each trade building. Wood: Raw Materials and Wood: Tools are currently setup.) West side (Castle complex will be placed at top) South East side facing West (Showing Hazard Heights mountain deed where overlook pictures were taken) South East canal with small boat passible land bridge (Island was actually a peninsula. There is rock just below surface there) South side canal (Equipped with warning lights for large ships) Note: North side is large ship passable yet most still choose to push their ships over the land bridge. Wurmians do it the hard way! It's our way of life! East side showing guard tower Corner shot at South EastFall:Walnut & ChestnutLemon & MapleApple & LindenCherry & BirchCedar & OliveOaksWinter:Note: Brass lamps with blue dye give the blue glow through the wallsMaple & LemonOlive & CedarFir & PineCherry & BirchApple & LindenGrapes on Western Shore (inside)Grapes on Western Shore (outside)Carpentry building with a BSB for each wood type and each 10ql tier (1-9ql, 10-19ql, etc)MonasteryWestern Shipbuilding sideWillows in WinterOaks (Lamps inside trees give off blue glow)Southern Building (outside)Southern Building (second story) Monastery and Pond area Farm area Animal pens Will update with more picks as we progress.

Posted October 30, 2013 Really impressive (and inspiring) work. I'm assuming at least half (if not more) of those 10k 99ql veins are from Rods (perhaps previous owner)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 30, 2013 Really impressive (and inspiring) work. I'm assuming at least half (if not more) of those 10k 99ql veins are from Rods (perhaps previous owner)? Thanks very much Kruggan. The three Iron were pre-existing. All other veins were placed using rods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 30, 2013 cool - wow. i both envy and feel sorry for your pocket book It's not that bad if you have a trader. The rods cost 50s yet you can immediately get back 12s after purchase. (so they really only cost 38s per) Plus the traders brings in an additional 12s per month in profit if managed right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) Simply amazing mate! ...the hula snowman i mean of course. But the rest is pretty cool too. Especially the birds-eye kinda view in your "after" spoiler, that mountain on the other side seems to be the perfect spot to observe your place hehe.

Posted February 4, 2014 May I ask how do you immediately get back 12s after purchase? I have not yet purchased a rod so if it is something obvious this is why I do not know it.A percentage of the cost for some items is given to the trader to purchase items from players. Around 12s usually when buying a rod. So I you bring enough higher ql items or even enough low ql items to sell to the trader for 12s you can get that money back.

Posted February 13, 2014 May I ask how do you immediately get back 12s after purchase? I have not yet purchased a rod so if it is something obvious this is why I do not know it. Have other trader items on you after you purchase and drain the money back. So Rings, Statues, ropes, spindles, whatever you normally use to drain a trader.
