New Elder System

[whole hearth]

Pretty.. .mysterious...

[stable comet]

NO

Oh wait

I thought you were ab to say the new elder system is a battle pass

If that ever happened I'd cry

[whole hearth]

💀

Could u imagine....

[civic niche]

Omg y'all have been busy lmao

[whole hearth]

Think dod will lose like 90% of all players

If that was a thing...

[civic niche]

I couldn't even read everything I just had to skip to the bottom. Did we figure anything out?

[stable comet]

Nope

Summary

[whole hearth]

Yes...mating with crystals don't work

[civic niche]

So I was thinking last night.....

[stable comet]

Oh yeah

[whole hearth]

I've tried it a few times

[civic niche]

LMAO

[stable comet]

Also people tried mating with a tree LOL

[whole hearth]

Yeah🤣🤣🤣🤣

[scarlet plover]

I read this channel all the time, checked everything that was written here, flew around the entire map several times and I just can’t even imagine what they did, it’s either difficult for my mind or it’s so obvious that we don’t see it.

[stable comet]

Probably not turned on

Like how the weather is in the game

Just turned off

[whole hearth]

But not turned on yea

[dreamy acorn]

Easy guys the pearl is at the bottom of the lake, eat the pearl and you'll get a tic

[whole hearth]

Facts

[scarlet plover]

[whole hearth]

Even tho we can't dive...

We need to try

[dreamy acorn]

I can go underwater

[whole hearth]

I can go under the map...BOOM I win

[dreamy acorn]

LOL

[wintry turtle]

Mating with trees also didn't work!!

[dreamy acorn]

Think outside the box!!
The game can't handle complicated objectives so it's def something kinda simple

[scarlet plover]

Weird …

[whole hearth]

You need to fly into each other at max speed and one will go to heaven an ascend and will come back as an elder

[wintry turtle]

It wasn't me that did it, I was just sharing this info with the class

[civic niche]

So I found in that comic it mentioned trials right? And then there was some talk about SWG and there are the padawan trials. What if it is like unlocking Mel where it's a bunch of VERY specific small goals like... fly to the very top until you hear the music or something. ASDs could have like use their full Stam bar by crouch running. Things very related to the game play and maybe even tailored to each dragon. In SWG no one actually knew how to unlock the jedi slot because it's random and gets unlocked as you play. Thoughts?

[stable comet]

What if we mate with the water

[dreamy acorn]

You need to sacrifice a Dragon of yours to a shrine to unlock the eldering tic

[stable comet]

Hear me out

[wintry turtle]

No, we have to fly at exactly 88 miles per hour, and then go back to the future

[stable comet]

Looool

[tame crest]

Dragons of Bermuda.

[whole hearth]

Aaaaaaah see you cracked the code

[dreamy acorn]

The only way to elder is by buying the eldering dlc

[turbid yoke]

XD

21 of june

[whole hearth]

And it costs $500 plus tax

[dreamy acorn]

LMAO yes

[wintry turtle]

My roomie told me to unlock the ability for the Jedi training, you had to speak to a specific npc and they'd only spawn if you became force sensitive tbf he also probably could just be recalling wrong cause that game is old af and it's been awhile since he's played it

[dreamy acorn]

We 2 call an NPC swamp snapper and he gives us quests

[stable comet]

I watched vids on it earlier

[whole hearth]

I think Yoda needs to mate with a bio and then an egg will spawn..you eat it...gains its powers and then become an elder

[stable comet]

For becoming jedi you had to complete a bunch of quests then find a random spawning npc

[fading canyon]

Maybe thats how we elder, by eating the children of the nest

[civic niche]

Yeah but to become force sensitive is the part I'm talking about. I never played it so idk exactly that's just what I read

[dreamy acorn]

In order to elder u need to kidnap Pedro pascal

[wintry turtle]

I ate plenty of children and haven't eldered yet

[fading canyon]

aweeee

[stable comet]

Loooool

[wintry turtle]

Aaah alr. I'll ask him and see what he says

[fading canyon]

Can we take andrew garfield too

[whole hearth]

Sus

[wintry turtle]

LISTEN

I was at 60 hunger alr

[dreamy acorn]

We eat him to ealder

[whole hearth]

No this is sus

[fading canyon]

Perfect LOL

[dreamy acorn]

I eat children all the time no shame

[stable comet]

Force sensitivity was a thing just in create a character

[wintry turtle]

LOL

[dreamy acorn]

I'm also in mega hardcore server tho

[whole hearth]

We have to dice IShowSpeed as an ASD and if we win...we get elder

[wintry turtle]

I'm just in Sanc cause I suck at pvp 💪

[stable comet]

It was like you choose 1 character MAX that could become jedi

[dreamy acorn]

Me too LOL

[stable comet]

That's what the force sensitivity was

[hybrid cloud]

hey just catching up the the messages now but there was another spot with green water and a log in the middle of it, someone may have pointed it out but around 202 S x 414 W

[stable comet]

Nah everyone else are just way too good you don't suck

[dreamy acorn]

Genuinely have no clue how to elder

[wintry turtle]

What about the red water that was mentioned? I saw someone mention red water earlier too

[stable comet]

Rainbow water

[dreamy acorn]

Bathe in the water and you'll get elder

[whole hearth]

Red water?

[stable comet]

Ye someone said something ab red water

[wintry turtle]

Someone talked ab one of the crater impacts having red water

[whole hearth]

Lazarus pit I mentioned that earlier today

[dreamy acorn]

Go swim thereetr

[civic niche]

Idk this is what I read, maybe you can further explain

"How do I unlock the FSCS?
Nobody knows. The process is thought to be tied to your account, and slightly different for everyone. According the the devs, a casual player might unlock their FSCS within a year or so of starting a regular character."

[fading canyon]

heading to the coords now

[whole hearth]

Many you need to die in the water? And then you come back as an elder?

Maby

[wintry turtle]

A YEAR?😭

[tame crest]

Yeah it was supposed to be a challenge.

Until the NGE update hit anyway.

[wintry turtle]

😭

[stable comet]

Well that's only to unlock jedi but force sensitivity was something you started with

[wintry turtle]

I hope eldering doesn't take a year in this

[stable comet]

Then the game was ruined when everyone unlocked jedi

[dreamy acorn]

I need jao to give a hint

[whole hearth]

Let's ping him

[civic niche]

Guys this is a very different game I'm sure it won't take a year lol

[whole hearth]

All together now

1

2

²

[wintry turtle]

I don't have a death wish

[whole hearth]

3

[dreamy acorn]

We get ban

[stable comet]

Imagine choosing your color when you make a character right it's like thst

[tame crest]

Bounty Hunter hunting Jedi was the best bit 🙂

[fading canyon]

So the water at the cords is a lil pond with a dead log in it that has a lil tree growing out of it, it does have a green tint to it but it just looks like alge

[stable comet]

That*

[dreamy acorn]

I'm dewwaaad

[wintry turtle]

Ngl though being Bounty Hunter on SWTOR was really fun

[mellow dawn]

Anyone got coords for red water

[dreamy acorn]

If jao gives hint I'll sub to patreon

[stable comet]

FACT

[whole hearth]

Many its a mandelorian thing... we need to rescue baby grogu and then protect him from the bounty hunters

[dreamy acorn]

We need to get an object
Give it to a shrine
And it'll grow us

[stable comet]

So on swg imagine you had diff character creation slots and you had to choose 1 of them to make into a jedi

[tame crest]

I mean the entire thing of players putting bounties on others and getting paid to take em out in PVP hehe

[mellow dawn]

We really need a list of things already tried

[pine wedge]

You always could PT people just auto unlock it unlike others

[whole hearth]

We haven't tried snorting the crystals 👀

[wintry turtle]

Emoting with crystals
Emoting with trees
Emoting in caves

All have not worked so far

[forest lake]

i tried plasma blasting the crystals... they make a little more fizzly noise than other things, sometimes, but didn't do anything otherwise

[stray notch]

GUYS I HAVE A THEORY HEAR ME OUT

[pine wedge]

lets hear it

[wintry turtle]

I've flown the map over ab 50 times and nothing stuck out to me

[stable comet]

I don't think it has to do with emotes at this point

[forest lake]

specifically blue and purple brightly-glowing crystals, since i was an ss at the time and one of those colors seems to correspond with plasma

[whole hearth]

Many we have to shoot the crystals in a certain order? That's why some of them didn't make noise?

[tame crest]

Half-right. The character you unlocked force sensitivity on was the one who became the Jedi, and you got a second slot to be whatever else after.

[minor hinge]

have we try this

[forest lake]

I shot the same one multiple times, and it made a fizzly noise a few times, then stopped, tried a different crystal, came back, and it didn't fizzle

[whole hearth]

Mhh

Idk but I'm off to bed, ping me if you figured something out
Night all

[forest lake]

it is also entirely possible that elder isn't in the game yet. the answers Jao is giving now are remarkably similar to the ones he gave on the last map before the elder shrooms were implemented 😐

or "in the game, but not accessible," like blitz and broodwatcher

[stable comet]

Like the weather is rn

[wintry turtle]

Fandom said it was in the game though, just that no one's discovered it

[stable comet]

But they could be trolling

Maybr

Maybe

[forest lake]

idk, i feel like "behind one of the very obviously rock walls blocking off cave entrances around the map" could count as a reason why no one's discovered it

[wintry turtle]

All Ik is I saw Bazelgeuse say on legacy that it would be very grindy and some type of quest

[stable comet]

Same here

[forest lake]

suppose someone could spin up a private server and clip themselves down there and see if there's anything that doesn't exist in the overworld

[stable comet]

LOL

[mellow dawn]

Just untextured rocks

I’ve been below lol

[ionic trench]

under the map? lots of water boxes and weird rocks, but not much else

[forest lake]

hum

[stray notch]

so, bio is a harmless cosmetic dragon
bio is rarely seen, bc its only for KS
bio can hover
also crystals is a big debate if its connected to elder system or not
all of that together tells, plus "elder system isnt campable" means ;

bio is rare, u need one to be an elder, and it does something with crystals * might be something else, but bio is related * BUT if it is, bio would do smth with crystals, and bc it can hover and devs already mentioned "it can hover to place nests in hard places no other dragon can reach" that explains why crystals are located in wierd places, and the bio would then do smth with the dragon to give it the elder growth or whatever

final points

1- bio is related to elder system
2- bio is an important aspect of elder system
3- crystals or maybe flowers, are also an important aspect of that (or just caves)

thats my theory, im growing one rn to try and test stuff on it, lets hope.

[forest lake]

anyone tryy bio breathing on a nest? XD

[mellow dawn]

Also explains be more social

[stable comet]

I don't think it would require a paid dragon for a main game mechanic

[vast valley]

I HEAVILY doubt that bios are anything to do with eldering, that’d be a long shot considering that it is reliant on kickstarters (which is a terrible game design choice imo if that is the case)

[stable comet]

Exactly

[stray notch]

yeah thats the only flaw in this

[forest lake]

i would really hope bios aren't involved in eldering

[vast valley]

Because yes, it’s based on a paid-for and currently unavailable dragon to anyone who wasn’t a kickstart (not counting nesting)

[stray notch]

also dont forget !!!

[wintry turtle]

Bios can't elder themselves so I wouldn't see why they'd be any part of it

[stable comet]

Frfr

[stray notch]

in lots of stuff jao was asked about skin costomization and other stuff
he ben answering "i want this game to be more social, u have to rely on team work, u cant do stuff by ur self sometimes " also the fact that behemoths and big clan dragons should be fed by the clan
so, a KS player, a nested bio player is a gift from god

[wintry turtle]

Istg I'm going to crawl every inch of elder forest till I find sum useful

[stable comet]

LOL

[tame crest]

Jao's big on social stuff and also PVP iirc.

[compact kindle]

I am currently doing this

[stable comet]

Lol to elder you have to kill another player in pvp with bio

[tame crest]

Also all of this talk of SWG reminds me I need to reinstall SWG Resto server again

[stable comet]

That would be super funny

[wintry turtle]

LOL godspeed to you🫡

[stable comet]

Loool

[compact kindle]

Ive found some interesting spots that may be added to/opened up later it no caves and what not.... also a hole of death.

[wintry turtle]

Hole of death

I am intrigued

[compact kindle]

I thought it was a cave lemme go back RQ

[stable comet]

No death allowed

Loool

[wintry turtle]

Don't go in it😭

[stable comet]

Let me just put my eldered all a++ dragon into this funny cave

[compact kindle]

https://gyazo.com/fdd451ad75c28ba8fd08ee32946fa346

https://gyazo.com/bc30d3c444fa083f817b38f2c7e1de5f

10/10 I went in it I needed to know

[stable comet]

Are you stuck

[ionic trench]

oh that thing
I've gotten stuck in there before

[compact kindle]

Risk it for the brisket

[wintry turtle]

Probably a whole lot of nothing in it though aye?

[compact kindle]

Nah I'm free XD

[stray notch]

i did find a LOT of them, and somehow got in some

[compact kindle]

Yeah its a pit of death XD

[stable comet]

Lol

Its like a 5 foot deep bottomless pit

[stray notch]

the ASD mushroom cave in river, there is an openin leads to a big cave in there

[compact kindle]

Ive been running around trying to force my way in cave if I have just to take a peek on the other side lol

[stray notch]

a cave at BR waterfalls

[stray notch]

hey

[compact kindle]

Thats near the death hole yea!

[stray notch]

yes.

[compact kindle]

I remember in legacy, there was like a figure inside the walls of ASD cave

[stray notch]

naaah that was some player lmao

they always camp in ther, used to do that

[compact kindle]

Oohh

Thats wild

[tame crest]

If you mean the one up on the mountain, wasn't that a sorta shrine to one of the admins or something

[compact kindle]

No thats bacon

[stray notch]

ik, i was in a big clan at river, we had found a glitch in that glitch so if someone even knows that glitch they would still get ambushed

[tame crest]

Oh so something different then ok

I wasn't really following for a bit so

[compact kindle]

Yellow mushie cave near river was what I was referencing

[tame crest]

Ooh right that one

The most un-cave cave.

More of an alcove.

[wintry turtle]

It was a hollowed out portion of the cliff side

[stray notch]

i was wondering

what about waters...

[compact kindle]

A den

[stray notch]

what if they got something to hide..

[stable comet]

ye

[stray notch]

ALSO why is there an abnormal number of HUGE trees around the map?!

[wintry turtle]

I looked all over the waters on the map and there wasn't anything special

Other than one of the lakes went waaaay deep

[stray notch]

did u try NV to see INSIDE them?!

would be intresting

[wintry turtle]

Yes

I did actually

I was swimming around with NV on looking around the terrain under the waters

[stable comet]

yeah nothing in them

[stray notch]

hmmmmm

[wintry turtle]

Couldn't see anything interesting

[fading canyon]

I think we mightve mentioned it before but IF the crystals were apart of it wouldnt the colors represent the element and not the species itself? Orange - Fire, Blue-Plasma, Yellow-acid

And pink is the friends we made along the way

[compact kindle]

whats purple?

[stable comet]

thunder

[compact kindle]

Green?

[stable comet]

lightning

[wintry turtle]

Creator skin crystal

[fading canyon]

Lightning probably XD

[stable comet]

earth or plant

[compact kindle]

nicee Im set

[wintry turtle]

🤣

[stray notch]

pink is... idk maybe blitz element?

[stable comet]

lolllll

[fading canyon]

Would assume green would be for brood since they kinda just shoot stuff from their tails

[errant pecan]

Love

[zenith iron]

I don't think it's crystals anymore

[wintry turtle]

I honestly think green would be for asds because the Q ability gives a green hue to the mouth of the asd

[tame crest]

Broody just doesn't have an element.

[stable comet]

maybe

[zenith iron]

I do think it could match a dragon's hoarding behavior

[wintry turtle]

Poison is typically associated with green too

[fading canyon]

Yeah i didnt realize there were green crystals, havent seen any myself

[zenith iron]

But I don't think it fits well enough if eldering is based on behavior

[wintry turtle]

I didn't either

[zenith iron]

I've only ever seen 1

[wintry turtle]

Aaah wouldn't it suck if eldering didn't kick off until the first flat A stat dragon was born

[stable comet]

Same

[zenith iron]

I'd have to look for it again

[fading canyon]

I feel like if anything it would be BLQ based

[zenith iron]

But I'm pretty sure I've seen a green crystal

[wintry turtle]

It'd make more sense for sure

[proper imp]

whats with everyone focusing on crystals like fr if it has nothing to do with them then we have wasted alot of time we should think of other stuff because we have thought of almost everything for crystals

[wintry turtle]

But the griiiind

I think there is only one IR on Sanc that has one A- stat

[stable comet]

Way too much grind

[fading canyon]

in case they are infact needed later on, cant completely rule one thing out rn, thats why my original statement said IF

[zenith iron]

Yuuuup. I don't think it is, because would it match the behavior thing they said the same thing about with the shrooms

[fading canyon]

If they were apart of eldering

[wintry turtle]

Yeah I don't think crystals have any use except for looking pretty

[zenith iron]

They said we have the right tools

I think they might have been speaking literally now

Wouldn't wings and teeth count as tools?

Or the ability to nest?

[stable comet]

fr

[fading canyon]

Nesting, flying, Emotes, Bile

a lot on the list

[compact kindle]

Water, Food, a living dragon - Tools

[wintry turtle]

I wonder if the special abilities have anything to do with anything ab eldering

[fading canyon]

It would be funny if they just meant being a dragon was the tool itself

[compact kindle]

Steam the tool to access the game

Easy

[zenith iron]

I think it might be achievement based like some people suggested; what a dragon views as an achievement

[wintry turtle]

LOL

[fading canyon]

Has anyone gone through the files? just to like check xD

[zenith iron]

Wouldn't a dragon view having offspring as an achievement?

[compact kindle]

I honestly love the idea that ever species has its own like "story line" to progress, its one perks it needs to succeed

[stable comet]

Haven't gone through them lol

[fading canyon]

This is what ive been saying, Each species is slightly different but all share the same concept of eldering

[zenith iron]

Or a IR using its fire for a certain amount of time?

[wintry turtle]

I had the fire on for like 45 mins at one point, all that happened was a lot of people made references to roasting marshmallows

[compact kindle]

I think thats too simple, I doubt its something you can jsut accidentaly achieve

[stable comet]

loool

[zenith iron]

I think the tool is your dragon, and you need to follow certain behaviors that a dragon could consider an achievement

[wintry turtle]

Slaying another dragon would probably be considered an achievement, but how for pve

[zenith iron]

Someone mentioned they had a special text pop up after setting down a nest

[stable comet]

ai dragon maybe

[wintry turtle]

Did they note what the text said?

[zenith iron]

"You start to feel stronger"

[compact kindle]

You sense one of your nests in this area

[wintry turtle]

Oh that's just the elder tick

[zenith iron]

Yes

[wintry turtle]

12 hour elder ticks are still a thing

[stable comet]

That's what it said in legacy too

[stray notch]

i've seen only 1, at BR cave

[fading canyon]

if jao said he wants the game to be more social its possible that we have to have 2 ppl to elder

[zenith iron]

But as soon as the nest is put down?

[wintry turtle]

That's some nice timing

[zenith iron]

Timing seems unlikely

[stray notch]

this is passive growth daily tick

[fading canyon]

Normally you have to log back out and back in to get it though

[stable comet]

Hmmmmm

idk

[wintry turtle]

Really?

I didn't know that

[zenith iron]

I will try to recreate what he did once I get on

[wintry turtle]

I always assumed it'd be automatic

[fading canyon]

everytime ive gotten my passive its been after logging out and rejoining

it was the same in legacy

[zenith iron]

I just woke up and I'm starving lol

[stable comet]

It might be automatic now though

[wintry turtle]

I always got it after logging in for the first time

[fading canyon]

At least from what ive seen its not

i hit the 12 hour mark while playing with no tick until i relogged

[compact kindle]

If you logged out at 6 hours and came back tho youd get it without relogging at the 12 hour mark

[stable comet]

Idk but I feel like it just happens whenever

[fading canyon]

It was the same in legacy though, ppl Had to relog to get the tick for passive so its possible its still the same now

[stray notch]

its 24hour tick.

[civic niche]

That was me but idk if it was because of the nest tbh

[wintry turtle]

When I was nesting earlier around like 9 hours ago I had gotten my elder tick after playing for a few hours already

[civic niche]

I don't think it was passive growth tick because it was a fresh spawn like maybe 5min adult

[compact kindle]

If you were admin grown it gives you tick immedately

[civic niche]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh okay. I did not know that

I don't get that tick every time though?

[compact kindle]

Im not sure why it does it but I noticed it when I was messing around on my server

[wintry turtle]

I didn't even know admins grow people

[compact kindle]

I dont think its intended I think its a bug and sometimes it just happens

[civic niche]

okay

[civic niche]

on private servers

[compact kindle]

Private servers, some have growth events

[wintry turtle]

Ooooh alr

[stable comet]

maybe admins are just randomly growing lol

[wintry turtle]

Gotcha

[civic niche]

I've been hopping around private servers giving skins away and that was a one time event that happened and I tried to recreate it and couldn't so it's been flagged in my memory lol

[stray notch]

also guys dont forget bio element is "Unique"

[dawn pelican]

on scaleworx theres for example a free grow to juvie every 24 hours (normally) atm its unlimited juvie grows until the 25th

[wintry turtle]

I joined one unofficial server back when legacy was still the main and they were super mean to me ;v;

[civic niche]

unofficials are very hit or miss

[stable comet]

They shouldn't have been mean

[civic niche]

some are so chill and others it's like pulling teeth

[wintry turtle]

I feeeel that

[compact kindle]

Theyre a gamble for sure

Probably why most people join official or just host a server with their friends for their friends instead of risking it

[wintry turtle]

Funny thing is I'm still in their discord inactive af and they haven't noticed lol

[stable comet]

LOL

[civic niche]

Yeah unless they're a large named server, I won't play on them. I don't want to wake up one day and see all my progress wiped because they took it down lol Especially with the in depth breeding we have now

[compact kindle]

Literally, I would sob

[wintry turtle]

Ooh yeah I do all the main breeding on officials cause of that

[civic niche]

Same lmao

[stable comet]

Fr related to EVERYONE atp

[wintry turtle]

I can only trust my own private server cause ik I wouldn't do people like that

[stable comet]

Looool

[civic niche]

Has anyone seen anything sus with FS heat vision?

do the crystals look different?

[compact kindle]

Nope

[wintry turtle]

I haven't got an fs yet ;v;

[civic niche]

i'm growing one now

[stable comet]

;-;

[wintry turtle]

I'm clutching the IR pop rn 😭💪

[stray notch]

what if eldering is chilling in caves, so the power of crystals gets trasferred to you?!

[compact kindle]

Its been tried

[fading canyon]

shhhh we'll anger the elders if we keep talking about the crystals

[wintry turtle]

I think people tried afk-ing caves and nothing really happened

[compact kindle]

Distant Elder Rage Noises

[fading canyon]

NO PLS IVE BEEN GOOD

[tame crest]

I'm gonna go to Ilum and harvest all of those kyber crystals in a minute

[stray notch]

hold on maybe logging in caves so the daily tick thing increaes?!

[compact kindle]

Chilling, Nesting, Logging out with crystals its all been done

[stray notch]

anyone knows how logging off in caves of Path of Titans work>

[civic niche]

yeah i was on an IR because I got nested. Then was going to switch to SS because it be zooming. But then I was talking to hubby about starwars and he gave me an idea about "sensing" the force so it made me think of heat vision

[stray notch]

daaamn..

[stable comet]

Loool clutching the whole population

[wintry turtle]

Can I come? I just wanna watch, maybe find a grogu to take care of

[tame crest]

Bring your cold weather gear, its a bit nippy.

[wintry turtle]

Bet

[stable comet]

Can i come too

I'll bring the cold weather carcass

[wintry turtle]

See I'm curious if we have to sense something too

[stable comet]

Maybe with NV

[wintry turtle]

Like if there's a specific area, or a thing we have to be in the vicinity of

[civic niche]

Yeah like maybe all dragons can sense but only the FS can see "it"

[compact kindle]

That would be campable tho

[civic niche]

not if it's all around the map

[wintry turtle]

Idkkk, it can be set up in a way that it's not

[civic niche]

w/e "it" may be

[compact kindle]

Information on eldering thats been gathered so far is basically;
(repost so it doesnt get lost)

• Should be solo-able (not officially confirmed)

• Is not campable

• Doesnt seem to involve crystals Ive been watching thischat for a few days everthing has been done with them.

• Jao likes starwars - but there is nothing that has stated it is related to his insperation of the series

• Jao loves references

• May be different per species

• Likely same method across server type / This deletes the idea that its kill based

• Likely "grindy"

[fading canyon]

Ok i think we are looking at campable the wrong way

[stable comet]

I feel like maybe it's something NV related

[fading canyon]

I think theyre talking about in a way like with the shrooms, we had to tell ppl when we were hunting and some ppl would just chill on the spawns and take them

thats campable

[compact kindle]

NV related how? RiP Ravagers lol

[wintry turtle]

When I think campable is what players were doing with the shrooms on legacy

[stable comet]

Ir have nv

[compact kindle]

Yeah holding the area, afking it to popup

[stray notch]

i'll add jao's qoute on it

[wintry turtle]

Yee

[fading canyon]

If its just a spot that everyone can grow and elder in without worry about others taking that thing

is diffferent

[civic niche]

noc can you pin it?

[stable comet]

Maybe the sensing part involves our assassins creed Night vision

[compact kindle]

I cant pin sadly

[tame crest]

Would need a discord mod for pins

[wintry turtle]

It doesn't have to be a thing that's taken or used by anyone though, it could just be a thing we need to discover. Cause I imagine there will be multiple like, stages or something since it's supposed to be grindy

[compact kindle]

Until the Alpha clan emerges and stops everyone from getting it that'd be camping

[fading canyon]

On pvp servers yeah

[stable comet]

Truth fr

[fading canyon]

But thats why we said something about having multiple spots

that makes it less campable for the pvp servers

[stray notch]

Information on eldering thats been gathered so far is basically;
(repost so it doesnt get lost)

Should be solo-able (not officially confirmed)
Is not campable
Doesnt seem to involve crystals Ive been watching thischat for a few days everthing has been done with them.
Jao likes starwars - but there is nothing that has stated it is related to his insperation of the series
Jao loves references

May be different per species
Likely same method across server type / This deletes the idea that its kill based
Likely "grindy"

jao qoute : you have to REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED then obviously have to go to REDACTED to get REDACTED
(seems unhelpful but its something)

[compact kindle]

Youd be surprsied how well an Alpha clan can hold a majority of the map

[wintry turtle]

I wonder if there are little spots around the map that we're meant to discover just by exploring and getting lost

Like a quest

[compact kindle]

is that a real quote or just being playful?

[stable comet]

Real quote

[tame crest]

It was something he said.

[stray notch]

no no its lettirally what he said

[stable comet]

Maybe

[compact kindle]

Lets play a game of hangman

[stray notch]

lettirally

[wintry turtle]

Lol when I ran into SuperRhino earlier, he literally said "To elder, you have to [REDACTED]"

[stable comet]

Yeah

[compact kindle]

D: It disapeared

[wintry turtle]

Should've grabbed an ss, now I'm mad I didn't

[rapid kraken]

The daily tick gives 1.8 growth for elder right?

[civic niche]

does anyone have the quote about the SWG? I still don't know if he was trolling or there was a legit relation

[wintry turtle]

What was the quote

[stable comet]

I wish

[wintry turtle]

Or you were asking if anyone had it

Mb

I'm tired and blind rn😭

[civic niche]

Im asking lol

[tame crest]

It wasn't something written it was spoken.

So a 1 to 1 recollection won't be possible.

[compact kindle]

It wasnt a quote, it was a story

[stable comet]

It's alrighty we're all tired and blind

[civic niche]

do you know what exactly was said?

[compact kindle]

Word for word? No, Soemthing about people spoilering the jedi thing

[dawn pelican]

since it seems to invovle more then one stats, having the sentence written out is helpfull since we can fill out the blank spots one by one

[compact kindle]

and thats why they didnt want to give hints or outright say it, lost its Spazzaz

[stable comet]

Loool

[tame crest]

With the old way of getting Jedi requiring a series of things to do that you'd have to figure out on your own over a very long time but since the internet is the internet people would write guides, and also the dreaded NGE update let everyone Jedi anyway.

[rapid kraken]

Or is the growth amount for elder random that you get with the daily tick?

[fading canyon]

It should be specific depending on what youre playing

its 0.9 for IR (On official servers)

[wintry turtle]

^

[stable comet]

ye

[compact kindle]

If the server is 1.5 or 2x itll be more per tick tho

[fading canyon]

^^^

[rapid kraken]

Nonetheless, server is 2x growth, it gaves me 1.8 growth into elder via tick (Inferno Ravager) but now, I suddenly got 3.6 growth into elder

I went into the cave at arch before having gotten that second tick idk

[fading canyon]

Yup that would be about right for passive ticks

Or how long was it when you got your second tick?

[rapid kraken]

definitely not 24 hours after, I have been playing the whole time after logging in and gotten that first tick

[fading canyon]

When did they change the 12hour passive to 24?

[compact kindle]

Its still 12

[fading canyon]

xD i was about to say

[rapid kraken]

I mean that lol I am watching a vid got distracted xD

[compact kindle]

Were you admin grown?

[rapid kraken]

But I had gotten that first tick when I logged in, and it hasn't been even 2 hours from when that second tick came that's why I am so confused

[rapid kraken]

no

[compact kindle]

If all you did was enter the Arch cave Iits likely just passive

Everyones tried a bunch of tihngs in that place and got nothing from it

[fading canyon]

The next question is what did you do before you entered arch?

The issue being that actually getting the elder tick can take like 30 secs to actually show up

[rapid kraken]

Flew around, nothing special, unless it adds up to the theory of flying/traveling X amount

[fading canyon]

Is it possible that 2x also shortens the time for passive elder ticks too?

Sounds like its just a passive tick

[compact kindle]

I debunked that on the IR already, flying for hours

[last minnow]

thats what i was thinking it was actually flying around for x distance

but what if it has to be above the clouds

[fading canyon]

tried that

its not

[last minnow]

hm

[compact kindle]

Thats where I take all my screenshots

[fading canyon]

flew from top of snowy mountain across the map above the clouds until my stam and secondwind ran out

[last minnow]

ok so that narrows it down, its on the ground

[oak goblet]

are we certain its the same for every dragon/drake tho?

[last minnow]

no lol

if it was a flying thing, it wouldnt be for asd

bios cant be elder so dont use those

[compact kindle]

I jsut spent the last few hours doing circles over the map with SS so its not for that dragon either

[last minnow]

but what if its in the map somewhere, not over it

it could be covered by trees, or a rock

so flying over it, you could fly right past it

[compact kindle]

Yeah that was my theory today, Ive been scoping every cavey like spot, in and around rocks and formations

Water sources aswell

Some portions of forests but with the lack of food its hard to stay in the woods, given the size of them

[civic niche]

everyone should try to get a replay recording thing set up so they can just hit a button and get the last 30s - a few min and see what they did

[compact kindle]

Ive been on 7 hours just sweeping the map for most of it

Im still sitting on 0.0 elder

[last minnow]

i feel like at this point, people are jotting down every little action they do

[hollow quarry]

all my dragons I never got nested, I grew an SS to adult, died, and I suddenly had a mela.

[last minnow]

but what if the point is to go somewhere with minimal food, i doubt the way to elder would be a piece of cake to get to

[compact kindle]

Thats most of the map atm until the hotfix

[fresh marsh]

i have an asd at like 8% elder, ill run around the map on that for a bit

[civic niche]

Yeah i think we established that already lol

[hollow quarry]

listen

im catching up

[oak goblet]

the idea of it being something thats "hidden" from the air sounds like something tbh. I think that if its an actual thing we need to interact with in some way, its gonna either be in a hidden hard to find place or a thing that doesnt stand out imo

[hollow quarry]

😭

[civic niche]

yeah but if you're not paying attention you might be able to capture it if you have your time set far enough out

[wintry turtle]

I think something similar to this as well

[civic niche]

https://tenor.com/view/listen-linda-kid-child-listen-listen-gif-5596745

[last minnow]

this was my thought, that way it would be accesable to other dragons, but you cant fly above the trees for it

[compact kindle]

I think its a task personally, something you do in game that doesnt involve a specific item or place

[civic niche]

Yeah that's something i want to test too. It could be a bunch of little very specific tasks tailored to dragon species or something

[wintry turtle]

I used to think it had to do with the eventual death worms that will be added, like killing one would grant you elder points, but that's so far off in updates it can't be it

[fresh marsh]

where should i take my 10% elder asd first?

[last minnow]

everyone start offering bugs at any cave they go to with crystals and 1 call 3 times (this theory comes from the sir bacon memorial's mechanics) it could be reused

[wintry turtle]

I'm genuinely curious if they repurposed SirBacon

[stable comet]

Maybe we need to almost die but not to elder

Like almost starving in a certain area

[urban mantle]

what if we need to go to sir bacons favorite place and do something specific

[last minnow]

tried, it doesnt exist

[civic niche]

new people wouldn't know that

[urban mantle]

maybe just the area?

[last minnow]

sir bacon isnt on the mountain anymore

tried that too

[wintry turtle]

If anything, he'd be an NPC we'd have to locate somehow

Like the special cave in the mountains on legacy

[proper imp]

who is sir bacon

[stable comet]

Maybe they moved the cave

[wintry turtle]

He was a member of staff that passed away

[compact kindle]

Theres no NPC in any of the caves

[civic niche]

A really cool community member that passed IRL and a memorial was set up for him in legacy

[compact kindle]

Any of the currently accessible caves anyways

[forest lake]

.>
<.<

...anyone notice that the bio flowers close at night?

[last minnow]

imma set up my clipping software again just in case i somehow miss it

im rather blind

[wintry turtle]

Oh he wasn't staff? I thought he was staff

[last minnow]

they close when you eat them, not at night

[fresh marsh]

they close when they are eaten

[civic niche]

He may have been it was a while ago and I had left for a while

[forest lake]

no, no

the lower flowers close when you eat them. the top 3 I saw close at night

[wintry turtle]

I did too, took a long break between 2020 and 2022

[forest lake]

or, at least, i saw them open in the morning

[stable comet]

I think someone said before that they were staff

[last minnow]

the top 3 also close when you eat them

[civic niche]

He probably was then, I don't remember

[proper imp]

oh thats sad but cool how he got a memorial ingame so people will remember him ingame

[civic niche]

I just remember when he was a KSer, cool dude. Funny

[last minnow]

they ended up being staff here

[civic niche]

ye, i don't think it got carried to 1.0 though. I think he remains in legacy

[wintry turtle]

Maaaan, I wish they did cause I want my pet bug back

[proper imp]

they should add his name engraved into the rock on bigrock

[last minnow]

with that being said, the mechanics for it tho i feel could have been redone

[wintry turtle]

So many fond memories dancing with my little bacon

[stable comet]

Theee littttleeee bugggg

Look how they massacred my boy

[civic niche]

im gonna make a KB macro for eating and drinking. QoL should just make it a toggle lol

[wintry turtle]

Yes

Holding e for 5 minutes while casually drowning my dragon for a drink

[civic niche]

right?

I could be alt-tabbed for all that xD

[wintry turtle]

FRRR

[stable comet]

Loool

[forest lake]

where was bacon's memorial?

[last minnow]

it was in snowy, its gone now

[forest lake]

ahh

[crisp narwhal]

Between the two snowy peaks

[wintry turtle]

Gone gone?

[stable comet]

It's not in legacy now?

[low pond]

hi where is the cave ?

[civic niche]

I heard it was staying in legacy. I haven't been back on legacy to confirm

[last minnow]

its still in legacy, it never got updated

[rapid kraken]

At arch, there's an entrance at the right big stone, weird to explain when you ain't in game lol

[low pond]

the two big rocks in front of the snow-capped mountain? XD

[last minnow]

2x might mess with the daily elder ticks

so we cant go off of that

i dont think anything happened to me when i was there

ill check it out again rq

[languid spoke]

2x growth doubles the elder tick

[last minnow]

right

which is why we cant go off of that

[low pond]

i have found this cave

[last minnow]

nothing happened

my theory did nothing when i tried it

[vestal rose]

we figure anything new out?

[urban mantle]

well tried the bug mechanic nothing happened

lmao

sir bacons method doesnt work

[fair turret]

Mating random trees doesn't work either, can confirm

[hollow quarry]

...

[zenith iron]

For that nesting elder tick, you said it was at the island, right?

Was there a specific roar you used too?

and a specific spot the nest was in?

[ancient obsidian]

eh, i just get elder ticks over time :/

[last minnow]

tried flying through the fallen tree, almost ended in my demise dont do it

[ancient obsidian]

like ik someone who has already like 5% or so on one dragon, would have to ask again

[north creek]

thank you for taking one for the team, hope the splinters weren't too bad

[vast valley]

...

[fair turret]

I've been passing pinecones for three hours send a doctor

[last minnow]

anyone have any...useful info

[fair turret]

no.

[last minnow]

hm

[livid chasm]

any one looked into the philipino's theory ?

[last minnow]

no, whats that?

[fair turret]

Whuzzat

the bugs?

[last minnow]

think someone said that didnt work

my theory with the bugs x 1 calling 3 times offering them to crystals didnt work either

[vestal rose]

i'll have to test a second time

[last minnow]

i tested it twice, nothing happened

the 2nd time i hit the tree

[civic niche]

Someone told me it was because I was grown by admin, so probably nothing there. If you still want to test it though, I was a Male ASD I had just bred, my mate put down a nest and I did a 1 call. It was on the little island on the far side from the circle rocks in the water

[last minnow]

if you were admin grown, you can still get random elder ticks

did it say you feel stronger or any other prompt?

[civic niche]

Yeah but I think what they were saying was that specific tick was caused by the admin growth

[zenith iron]

I'm trying to think of behaviors dragons would do

[civic niche]

It did

[livid chasm]

philipino dude's said it's in the waters

[fair turret]

That'd suck

I can't swim

[last minnow]

if it is, theres no real way to swim down

but asds thing could be something to do with getting to hard to reach spots

[wintry turtle]

I didn't see anything in the waters when I was swimming around with NV on

[urban mantle]

i think that guy was a troll

[zenith iron]

If we take what they said about shrooms not being a dragon-like behavior, and the dragon itself being the tool we need

[fair turret]

to be fair

[urban mantle]

was he on a faster grow server?

[fair turret]

lots of predators ingest toxins for stuff

[urban mantle]

also was he on since day one?

[zenith iron]

What could be taken as a behavior a progressing adult dragon would do?

[low pond]

at the big tree you can drink water XD at the root

[zenith iron]

A list of things that can take time

[last minnow]

guys im gonna swim across the lake

[fair turret]

fight for territory, patrol territory, challenge elders for their territory, get ran out of territory

[last minnow]

longways

[wintry turtle]

Aggression and territorial, but pvp wouldn't work on pve

[last minnow]

and see if that does something

is there a drowning risk

[zenith iron]

True, but what about nesting, exploring, and hunting ai

[wintry turtle]

We've been doing all that though

[zenith iron]

those could be definite PVE things

[stable comet]

Well have to see if they implement ai

[wintry turtle]

Truuuust me there's no shortage of nests on Sanc lool

[last minnow]

the bugs are ai in a way

[stable comet]

Looool fr

I mean dragons

Or anything other than the bugs

[zenith iron]

I just think that it can't be a location or resource anymore

[urban mantle]

well i know flying dragons loved to fly through the small gap in arch rock on legacy

[last minnow]

can dragons drown? i wanan see if i get a tick from swimming across the entire lake longways

[stable comet]

Don't think so

[wintry turtle]

I don't think so

[stable comet]

If you do though let us know

[wintry turtle]

One of my baby bios tested out drowning and didn't succeed

[stable comet]

LOL

[last minnow]

alr then

[zenith iron]

Jao's quote: You have * * * then obviously have to go to * to get *

What if it's a list of behaviors and THEN a location?

[stable comet]

What if it's

[fresh marsh]

could also need to get to a certain % through time ticks, then do something

[zenith iron]

You have to hunt, breed, and explore, then obviously have to go to * to get Elder

[stable comet]

You have melanistic then go to here to get a quest

[oak goblet]

we gotta take into account that this qoute from Jao might just be a red herring aswell tho

[proper imp]

is this concrete or was he just saying that for a joke?

[wintry turtle]

It's pretty much what he said fr

It would show as [REDACTED]

[proper imp]

did he say it was true or not tho

[zenith iron]

He said it, I just didn't feel like typing redacted that many times lol

[wintry turtle]

Well he's said it at least twice now

[proper imp]

no i mean did he say that in the EXACT order its meant to be or was it suppost to be taken as a joke

[stable comet]

Just copy paste the word redacted

[zenith iron]

It WOULD line up with his older comment about why he hated the shroom method

[wintry turtle]

He's said it in that format twice

[stable comet]

Yeah

[wintry turtle]

Pretty much word for word

[zenith iron]

He hated it because it wasn't a dragon-like behavior

Which I do agree with

[stable comet]

It's like he has a copy paste of it ready for everyone lol

[wintry turtle]

I wish I grabbed a screenshot >:I

[stable comet]

I knowwww

[zenith iron]

I am 99% sure it has nothing to do with crystals or bugs anymore

[tardy fossil]

Tbh it wouldn't have surprised me if he never put a system in, just kept the passive and then made us believe we had to breed & survive for eldering, when really it is just a passive

[stable comet]

Maybe it's in the game just turned off

Like weather

[urban mantle]

wonder if the elder system is even in the game right now

[stable comet]

It's in the game

[wintry turtle]

According to Fandom, it's in the game

[stable comet]

Might just be off

[zenith iron]

It is because you get ticks on it

I'm at 1.4% rn myself on my IR

[urban mantle]

and all this time we have all been running around like chickens with there heads cut off

[tardy fossil]

I think eldering is in the game, but only as passive. We all know he hasn't kept to his word before

[wintry turtle]

Idk cause I feel like that'd tick a lot of players off

[urban mantle]

oof more people about to be pissed off

[wintry turtle]

LOL

We had the same thought

[last minnow]

he already said its ingame, but wont say how to do it so its a surprise

[stable comet]

Yeah lol

[urban mantle]

if its truly not in at the moment

[final flax]

how do you know your %? is it somewhere ont he hud?

[last minnow]

and its not by passive elder ticks

[civic niche]

Jao is a troll so maybe lol

[stable comet]

LOL

[urban mantle]

yup

[tardy fossil]

I don't think he cares when he has the mods to delete comments

[zenith iron]

It's on your health page

[wintry turtle]

There's a growth bar when you press I to see your status

[final flax]

ty ty

[last minnow]

oh yea and swimming across the entire lake did nothing

[zenith iron]

Just got my passive tick after logging on

[languid spoke]

i mean, if it's not implemented yet what's the worse that's happened? we spent time trying things and thinking really hard 😂

[stable comet]

I think it's something else

[urban mantle]

not telling us could just be another way of saying we dont have taht ready yet

\

[last minnow]

its already implimented, the mods even said its in

[wintry turtle]

It'd make sense on why they're keeping it so hush hush

[stable comet]

Maybe

[last minnow]

and why would this channel be here if it wasnt real

[fair turret]

Jao's quote: You have * * * then obviously have to go to * to get *... So it kind of sounds like you have to go to 2 separate places and do 2 separate things

[vast valley]

https://tenor.com/view/dies-of-cringe-cringe-gif-20747133

[zenith iron]

Okaaaaay

[final flax]

my bet is, you need to get to 100% on the passive eldering and THEN do something to "evolve" so to speak. like "okay your at 100% now you go do X and you hit elder"

[last minnow]

yea thats right, they just put (redacted) in between

[wintry turtle]

I would scream

[stable comet]

Sane

Same

[civic niche]

I don't think so

[stable comet]

Lol

[final flax]

what if its just hit 100% then? has that been done?

[fair turret]

I'm not waiting 2 months for slightly better stats and the ability to see my passives

There's gotta be a thingy

for the thingy

to become the thingy

[stable comet]

I mean everyone is talking ab the star wars thing the only thing similar to that would be doing the mela quest

[last minnow]

guys its not passive ticks, theres another way that was already confirmed

[wintry turtle]

Not yet, it'd take at least 50 days to passive elder with ticks

[oak goblet]

could it be something with nightvision? like... something you can only see with that active? just a thought

[final flax]

wait what

[civic niche]

I mean it could be as simple as "You have to grow to adult then obviously..."

[stable comet]

Artificial play time extender LOL

jk

[last minnow]

jao said it in the qna

[final flax]

could you repeat it here?

[fresh marsh]

Depends on the dragon, my asd is already at 10%

[fair turret]

Jao's quote: You have to grow to adult then obviously have to go to * to get elder

[wintry turtle]

Where's qna?

[last minnow]

^

[fair turret]

that

[last minnow]

the qna was in the discord

[final flax]

oh wait thats the quote?

[wintry turtle]

Oh wow, ggs

[fair turret]

is my interpretation

[final flax]

oh

[fair turret]

Jao's quote: You have * * * then obviously have to go to * to get *

[civic niche]

*jao qoute : you have to REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED then obviously have to go to REDACTED to get REDACTED *

[fair turret]

You have to grow to adult then obviously have to go to * to get elder

[fresh marsh]

And gets like 2% a passive tick

[tame crest]

you go to <a location> to get your Jedi robes

[fresh marsh]

Asd*

[tardy fossil]

I'm taking it as this:
How many times has this update been delayed? How many times has there been an uproar with the fairness for kickstarters and patreons? How many times have comments just stating their opinion been deleted because him and the mods disagreed?

I will keep trying theories and all that, but I don't have hope that a system is actually in place, and his quote isn't useful (right now?)

[last minnow]

right, so like i said before the location is prob something that you have to fly low to see, you cant be above the trees

[final flax]

drakes need to get to it too remeber

[fair turret]

I've tried the mountains so those are out

[subtle orchid]

i wouldnt be surprised if BLQ/Life Expectancy was a part of it cause didnt he say something about how be wanted those to matter?

[final flax]

flight isnt a requirement UNLESS its species specific* (the locatio nchanging per species)

[zenith iron]

Okay, I'll list off the notable places I've seen then

[fresh marsh]

I dont think it's in yet either, but I dont have anything better to do

[last minnow]

thats why i said you cant be above the trees to see it, you have to be on the ground

[fair turret]

So... Perhaps the forest

[stable comet]

Atp we've done everything

[civic niche]

Ok if you're not going to be helpful trying to brainstorm elder you can take your negativity to general lol This thread is for eldering ideas not debating right and wrongs that have been done.

[urban mantle]

maybe just make the eldering another growth stage that takes several hours of in game time like 10 or 15 or something to get to instead of all the crazy stuff they are doing maybe save the crazy stuff for if they are actually going to bring in being able to become ancient dragons i remember that video showing the giant dragons

[last minnow]

how are you thinking all of this when its been said multiple times by mods and devs that its ingame, along with given a "hint" of what to do by jao

[civic niche]

could be

[fair turret]

You have to grow to adult then obviously have to go to REDACTED to get elder

[last minnow]

right

[tardy fossil]

I simply don't believe what he says to hold much value.

[last minnow]

gl then

so there IS a location involved, but the question is where it is

[fresh marsh]

Technically the blitz is in game, just not activated, they could just be being careful with wording

[zenith iron]

Elder forest has a MASSIVE amount of caves, to the SW is 2 seeming impact craters, there is the gorge, throne rock, the big tri cross rock, the giant tree on the mountain, BR, and the moors to the SW and NW

[civic niche]

cool then don't worry about this thread then lol

[fair turret]

Elder forest?

[fair turret]

HMMMM

[zenith iron]

SW canyon

[fair turret]

I SHALL MATE WITH THE TREES THERE

[civic niche]

We don't know if it's grow to adult I was just saying it could be something that simple

[last minnow]

elder forest might actually have some use

[turbid copper]

I honestly think it must be a cave that is hard to find, and must be something in that cave

[zenith iron]

There's a ton of stuff in Elder forest

[fair turret]

I'm en route there as we speak

[last minnow]

elder forest might give us a lead on what to do, its in the name

[zenith iron]

Enough I've found a LOT, but I doubt I found it all

[last minnow]

same

omw there

[fresh marsh]

I'll keep collecting passive tuckd and wandering on my asd in case you need to get to a certain % for the next step

Ticks*

[real linden]

Anyone got cords to elder forest?

[zenith iron]

AI spawns insanely quick, tons of shrooms, lots of caves, many water sources

[minor hinge]

close one i kown to Ef is 6S 688W

[zenith iron]

It's the best place to hide something on the map

[turbid copper]

Maybe we have to spend more time on the ground than in the air

[turbid copper]

Searching *

[final flax]

mind you wasnt it also confirmed its not a camp-able thing?

[last minnow]

im thinking its on the ground bc asds have to do something

[fresh marsh]

There's absolutely no food in the entire corner of the map nu ravine, could be to keep people from looking to hard there?

By*

[last minnow]

yea that was confirmed that its not campable

so its something that can be done solo

[final flax]

it could be species specific too! asd's "theoretical location" could be different from a shadow scales eldering spot

[zenith iron]

290 S 50 W

[last minnow]

THATS true, we must concider this

[real linden]

Perhaps its client side so you can only see it yourself so noncampable

[zenith iron]

where would FS and IR go tho?

[final flax]

because isnt there also potential for a fully aquatic dragon? or is the tidal guy gonna get to go on land?

[zenith iron]

FS and IR would need something like a Volcano

[final flax]

im thinking a location might not be the right idea but thats jsut me

mostly because the map isnt finished (that im aware of)

my bet is its get to 100%, or get to 100% and then do X

[compact kindle]

As much as I love this idea, then it would be exploited by PC time changes like the ToD was

[final flax]

for how rare elder is meant to be, i wouldnt put it past them to want you to get to 100% on the percentage thing

[urban mantle]

hmmmmmm someones gonna test that now that you mention it

[final flax]

and if 100% doesnt do it, then we knwo for sure its 100% and then do XYZ etc etc

know*

that or the percentage increasing is just a bug

[last minnow]

think it was referenced that you have to "go to REDACTED" wherever thats at

[final flax]

what if its "you have to get to 100% and then die"

reincarnate yourself

that'd be funny

[real linden]

Whats the growth percent in stats for only one passive tick

[fresh marsh]

for asd about 2%

IR is like .9%

[real linden]

....

how do I have 1.4%

[last minnow]

random growth ticks give anywhere from 1-3%

dont know if it was changed

[turbid copper]

And I have 2.7 on mine

[real linden]

Ok cool I was worried I managed to do someonething to get a tick besides passives

[fresh marsh]

i did say about and like

[keen basin]

so they kicked out the guy that figured out the elder tics and was gonna record for us

[turbid copper]

No one kicked anyone

He left

[keen basin]

did he? we are talking to him and he said he was kicked unless thats not true

[turbid copper]

Nah, he left

[compact kindle]

Its not, the mods confirmed it

[keen basin]

sus

[fading canyon]

No it was only SMaug who was cheating

[compact kindle]

^

[zenith iron]

Maybe because he kept getting spammed with questions?

[fading canyon]

Eon more than liekly left

[zenith iron]

That'd make me leave tbf

[oak goblet]

could just be a person thats trying to wind us up honestly "i know the truth!" vanishes

[keen basin]

could be

[turbid copper]

Or trolling

[last minnow]

right, cant trust what random people like that say

[oak goblet]

exactly

[last minnow]

and yay im stuck in the ravine 😭

[keen basin]

let me get his last clue we got in dms, one sec

[final flax]

whos clue?

[last minnow]

well theres nothing here incase anyone was wondering

[final flax]

yeah anyone new coming in: we still have nothing.

[dry mauve]

Well firstly what were the clues provided.

[civic niche]

If you're talking to him why isn't he just giving you a vid like he said instead of clues?

[dry mauve]

We need to outline though first

[digital isle]

Depends also on the server I think because if have 2x grow

[compact kindle]

There are no "hints" given atm

[oak goblet]

yeah i was there a few days ago and it looks far too unfinished to have something that important in it

[keen basin]

''at night you spawn pearls in the forest, taste here in the game'' translated ofc

[fresh marsh]

i assumed we were talking about official

to keep a baseline

[compact kindle]

Pearls are confirmed disabled

[keen basin]

i suspect pearls is not actually pearls but something else butchered by translator

cause ya pearls arent in game, and are not tied to night time

[civic niche]

or maybe he's trolling lol

[keen basin]

could be

[compact kindle]

He lost credibility for me when he said he was chatting with Jao in DMs

[final flax]

personally im not trusting anything aside from what mods/devs say.

[keen basin]

tbh that wouldnt surprise me, that jao hopped in his dms and was telling him not to tell anyone

legit wouldnt surprise me at all

[compact kindle]

Good luck on your pearl journey in the woods then let us know if something spawns

[fading canyon]

yeah but why would he msg one specific person

and not crow

[compact kindle]

I am not going back out there

[final flax]

still, we shouldnt theorycraft based on one random person right?

[civic niche]

It would me. I don't think he cares how fast we find it. We found elder with the shrooms pretty fast

[keen basin]

if we had any other leads......id agree lol

but we gotta investigate everything at this point

[final flax]

i mean fair, has anyone tried just getting to 100%?

[civic niche]

He said he'd start dropping hints if we don't find it fast enough so why would he do that and then dm some rando telling him to stfu? Makes no sense imo

[keen basin]

i mean....its jao

[compact kindle]

It works, its passive eldering

[civic niche]

meaning?

[final flax]

so passive eldering DOES work the yes?

then*

[compact kindle]

Yes

[final flax]

we can at least confirm hthat?

okay. thats one thing confirmed then

[keen basin]

meaning theres plenty that doesnt make sense

[compact kindle]

It absolutely does work

[fresh marsh]

im at 10% passive for sure works

[civic niche]

lol thin

[final flax]

gratz guys we confirmed 1 way to get elder.

thats better than nothing

[zenith iron]

Where did the hint I remember seeing "Beyond our borders, beyond our mountains" come from

[cold crest]

SirBacon was a great friend and Senior Admin for DoD. He unfortunately passed away last summer. As a wonderful tribute, the dev team added his dragon into the game in his favourite spot.

Players could go and talk to his NPC, listen to the music playing, and even get a thornback crawler pet

[compact kindle]

Preserve this pure bean

[keen basin]

well the border smashes my face in every time i try to go beyond it sooooooo

[final flax]

listen im just being realistic here, gotta make sure for people who come in they know you cna actually get elder. as in there is a way that works

it just takes a while

its a lot better than not being able to elder at all right?

id rather have a method confirmed that works than nothing

[zenith iron]

we also got a hint about something in the waters

[keen basin]

that was removed?

[final flax]

something in the waters might just be the new dragon right? or is this elder specific hint

[civic niche]

I think that was from the EON guy so that could be bs dunno

[proper imp]

thats so cool! is the pet and the npc still there?

[zenith iron]

Theres the massive lake to the SW past the moors

[dreamy acorn]

Omg I didn't know this, where's the spot?

[compact kindle]

it was yes

[keen basin]

it was on a mountain and not there anymore

[zenith iron]

Just beside the border

[proper imp]

i didnt know the game had pets

[keen basin]

had

[compact kindle]

LEgacy Only

[final flax]

ah it was a legacy thing then

[keen basin]

ye

was removed

[vestal rose]

if you're on a boosted growth server it gives you more

[cold crest]

I believe you can still find him on legacy

[proper imp]

will the pet transfer to 1.0? seems cool and nice way to remember him while showing off

[compact kindle]

He is still on legacy

[cold crest]

That I'm not sure of at the moment

Staff are also in the dark when it comes to the eldering system

So it's a surprise for us too

[fading canyon]

I guess that makes sense

[proper imp]

huh cool i might go collect it ingame now then

[minor hinge]

i kown it not in ice cave it not there in 1.0 i look over it

[dry mauve]

I just got music

[noble crown]

maybe traveling x number of meters or visiting x number of landmarks for helping get elder?

[dry mauve]

from flying above the clouds during night time into the auroras

[turbid copper]

Nah

[half hound]

nah saying i went from arch to the other side and around the map it doesnt help

[half hound]

this is normal

[dry mauve]

Is it?

[turbid copper]

Yes

[dry mauve]

cause my music is turned off

[turbid copper]

You get the music in legacy too, when you fly high

[vestal rose]

could always be multiple requirements before you officially get the tick(s)

[dry mauve]

You feel stronger is not normal though

.... SOOOOOO

[last minnow]

thats an elder tick

[sour sonnet]

you got a tic

[last minnow]

you get those every 12 hours

[dry mauve]

Idk ive been on this one for an hr and its been full adult so

[turbid copper]

It’s a tick

[last minnow]

yea normal elder tick

[fresh marsh]

what % was the tick?

[sour sonnet]

and what dragon are you>?

[dry mauve]

IR

[sour sonnet]

how much did u get?

[dry mauve]

1 elder tick is usually 1% im 2% rn so it could be something linked

Unless im stupid and didnt see my frist tick last night

[turbid copper]

I’m 2.7 on my IR

[sour sonnet]

odd

[turbid copper]

And I didn’t see mine either

[sour sonnet]

its .9 got a normal elder tick

and 1 for what u did mazy

[fresh marsh]

im pretty sure ir gets .9% per tick

[zenith iron]

for 1,5x it's 1.4%

base is .9%

[fresh marsh]

does official server have 1.5x?

[turbid copper]

No

[last minnow]

1.0x

[eager abyss]

pro tip... do not dive full speed into crater lake it is uh. very deep

[civic niche]

lol you know you can see through the water with NV?

[eager abyss]

i can? o.o

[civic niche]

mmhmm

[eager abyss]

oh hecking cool

[zenith iron]

thats what ive been doing
