Visions of Vetrovia
 

Trying to prep for the new expansion, I figured I'd go ahead and start a thread, so that hopefully we can hit the ground running. I've explored 3 of the 4 overland zones, so here's those. Will add more as I continue to explore. Once I complete the tradeskill questline, I'll go back and start doing some of the instances, making note where I can of existing map or no map. Will obviously need to validate all of this upon release day, but hopefully little (if anything) will change between now and then.


Overland Zones (maps in-game, provided by Daybreak Games):


You have entered Svarni Expanse.
Map style name: exp18_rgn_svarni_expanse_


You have entered Karuupa Jungle.
Map style name: exp18_rgn_karuupa_


You have entered Mahngavi Wastes.
Map style name: exp18_rgn_mahngavi_wastes_

Overland Zone (maps in-game, provided by Daybreak Games):

You have entered Forlorn Gist.
Map style name: exp18_rgn_forlorn_


Tradeskill questline instance (no map, unsure if matches any existing map, very run-down 2 room house):

You have entered Renfry's Basement.
Map style name: exp18_rgn_forlorn_tradeskill_

Instances (no maps provided by Daybreak at this time):

You have entered Karuupa Jungle: Dedraka's Descent [Solo].
Map style name: exp18_dun_karuupa_02_solo_

Nice work.
I will need the name info to get it right.

Instances (no maps provided by Daybreak Games):


You have entered Karuupa Jungle: Heart of Conflict [Solo].
Map style name: exp18_dun_karuupa_01_solo_


You have entered Svarni Expanse: Carrion Crag [Solo].
Map style name: exp18_dun_svarni_expanse_01_solo_

Think most instances will be added as they use to do. I hope :)

Here are all the map names I was able to find. I marked which ones have built-in maps and which still need maps. The instances, like previous years, are just sub-sections of the overlands. The exceptions are Castle Vacrul (which has no overland) and Renfry's Basement (which is just a small tradeskill area). There are also 5 zones that I have the display name for, but not the internal zone name, though I suspect these as well are copies of another map in this list.

Forlorn Gist: Emerging Deceit [Raid]
Renfry's Basement = exp18_rgn_forlorn_tradeskill_ (needs map)

Queen Antonia's Chambers: Vetrovia Report = qey_guildhall_tier1_chambers_exp18_sig_ (has map)

WOW! There's someone who has done a LOT more exploring than I have! Hats off to you!

With regards to the instances, yes, the instances are a "small section" of the regular overland map. Can we just force them to use the overland map graphic, but have a separate list of POIs?

To use the built in map it has to be added by Daybreak.

I don't know if this makes a difference to you or EQ2Maps, but they updated the world map used for bells, spires, druid rings, etc. to include the new continent. Many of the links shifted around a bit.

The travel map is not part of eq2map.

One of the instances off of Mahngavi Wastes during the questline. I don't think this had a map, but I was going thru it quickly trying to get the quests done, and honestly lost track, just glad I grabbed the map name:


Akashic Neverthere: Ballentree Repository -- exp18_dun_neverthere_sig_




For the final quest. I honestly didn't notice if this had a map or not, but if we find out it doesn't, it can use the same standard "Queen Antonia's Chambers" map that others zones use:


Queen Antonia's Chambers: Vetrovia Report -- qey_guildhall_tier1_chambers_exp18_sig_

Here's another one that I found today
Castle Vacrul: Confrontation = exp18_dun_vacrul_sig_ (map needed)

A copy of the overland map is normally created for use with all the instances, right? What is needed to get these new instance maps working similar to what was done in previous expansions?

There is no dungeon maps from Daybreak this time :(
If an overland map is used we can use it , but a dds needs to be created first for all to download , cant use the built in map.

Akashic Neverthere: Ballentree Repository -- exp18_dun_neverthere_sig_

This dungeon has no map, but it uses the same map as Forlorn Gist

Ghoulinda's Lair
exp18_dun_mahngavi_crypt_set_03_

Ancestral Crypt of Vyl'Tayne.
exp18_dun_mahngavi_crypt_set_01_

I can't find the map Queen Antonia's Chambers, what map is that?

That's for the meeting with Queen Antonia at the end of the questline. It's based on one of the guildhalls.

And the map is?

The original Queen Antonia's Chambers is qey_guildhall_tier1_chambers_. It has a functioning map.

Is it this one:
https://maps.eq2interface.com/map.php?zone_id=429

Its interna name is: qey_guildhall_tier1

The only one we have with that name.

That's the map that appeared in game when I entered Queen Antonia's Chambers. It is the correct floorplan (though several of those rooms are blocked off).

Should i add a map for Queen Antonia's Chambers to, do we need it for POI's?

For those new/returning players, having a map show up would be ideal, even if there's really only one POI. Every time I enter a zone without a map, my anxiety goes up. =P
