I understand that Levitation is needed to get to the Upper Tower entrance, but I thought the Lower Tower does not require it. When I arrive in Tel Mora, and walk through the 'welcome ring' there is a path that goes up to a platform (three staircases lead up to it). It appears to put me where the ...

I created a number of pages that incorporate Perk Trees and found that the majority of my time was spent tweaking the coordinate locations of the link balloons (marks). As I have over 256 maps to apply Perk Trees to, I thought I'd ask if someone has written and tools to help improve the time needed ...

I finally had and opportunity to check out ESO during the last Beta loading test. Since I was not part of the 'core' set of Beta Testers, there was very little opportunity for me to provide proper testing feedback to the developers. A survey came in the mail a few days later, but it offered no ...

If you look at the wiki entries for the different classes and races of characters, certain ones have a bonus to lockpicking. What level are you at in Agility? That will influence your success rate the most.

There are 256 different 'Settlements' in the game, 32 in each of the 8 provinces. There are three different sizes to them, City-states are 6x6 blocks, Towns are 5x5 blocks, and Villages are 4x4 blocks. By block, I mean a city block containing an array of different buildings. This modular system is a ...

Thanks for the replies. Yes, I'm aware that the NPCs outside can be helpful, but they are a fearful lot and hide at night. I know the minstrels and Monks one finds in some Inn layouts provide the info, but it was to the general patrons at the tables my query was directed.

I will experiment a bit ...

So far most of the work is still on my local computer :-)

I've been working with both Arena and Daggerfall Town maps comparing colors chosen so far for various types/categories of buildings. I've gone through a few websites offering color pallets that are 'color blindness friendly' but they give ...

If any user is color blind or visually impaired please contact me.
I am seeking feedback on new Arena/Daggerfall images.

Thanks in advance!

The various maps pulled from the game files and currently on the wiki show all the buildings for a town with some of them colored. I don't have Daggerfall successfully installed yet, but need to check this information before I do some work on the Arena wiki pages...

Can someone provide a Legend ...

deathm00n, from what I have read there are memory problems with trying to walk from one town to the next. I haven't read if anyone has resolved the issue by boosting DOSBox's memory limit to some really high number (or where the threshold for success is) so it doesn't crash. I suspect many of the ...

When I'm out in the street I see people going around with alternating speed: sometimes they walk with a normal speed; in other moments, few seconds, they wlak very fast just as the game "improve" automatically the speed. Is it normal? (No, I don't think so.. there's any way to fix it?)

Be ...

First of all, thank you for responding to the request, the level of discussion of what does or doesn't need to be done regarding maps, just from the few responses, speaks volumes of the need for a common forum for discussion across all TES versions.


First off, literally anyone can use the ...

Since I am doing some experimentation to extract info for the wiki, I prefer to have the TES games set up for multiple characters. In Arena I did this by creating sub-directories (such as c:\DOSGAMES\RWK for Redguard Warrior Knight) under c:\DOSGAMES and installing ARENA in each sub-directory.

So ...

I'm not sure if this is the right place to request this ...

The Wiki provides the ability of users to add the User:Cartographers subject/category to their main talk page to highlight their interest in working on the maps related to the game in the wiki. Currently for various reasons the cartography ...

So far the only NPCs I seem to be able to get information/quests from *inside of buildings* are the Bartenders. I can also get information from the resident Minstrel/Priest/Wizard/Blacksmith if they exist as well.

Any other interaction with NPCs in Inns results in a long list of 'I don't want to ...

But I did some checking on travel times. They are wildly inconsistent!

Was the date of the travel the same?

I noticed that travel in the initial month of Hearthfire is faster than a few weeks later. The times factor in the 'weather' which may be random or may be fixed for each date.

As an ...

I was reading the Arena:General Hints section tonight and the writer commented about the low level dungeons that spawn near each city, so their existence is known. As to whether their location is random or fixed, you could test that by using another account/character and go to that same city .. then ...

And btw are there any magic leather armor for a battlemage? Ive not found any yet.

I believe the only armor you can enchant is Plate armor, so I would assume there is no magical chain or leather armor. Someone else who has 'found' or 'bought' chain or leather armor that was magical jump in and ...

I have read that the area outside the fixed villages *are* generated randomly. Normally the comment is made that the game would crash if you tried to walk from one village to another because of all the data generated and stored in the limited memory (in 1994). I have not tried to verify this yet ...

I can't really comment on the inventory of each store, I haven't tried verifying it.

My original purpose for this whole map thing was as an aid in doing all the delivery quests. I wanted to know where everything was so I could do as many deliveries in a day as possible.

By nature I'm more of a ...

Wait wait wait, hold up. I thought Arena's maps others than main quest dungeons and the Imperial City were all randomly generated every game. Are y'all tellin' me that Arena's town layouts are the same every time??

Well, from what I have seen in experimentation, the answer is yes, the towns seem ...

Has anyone documented all the holidays and special events in the Arena calendar. Or even noted the names of all the months? I have the days of the week so far

So are you going to do it like those custom google maps?

I didn't know that the world was generated according to your race and class...

Looking into the Google map option but it may not be appropriate because most of the game content is randomly generated (everything outside of the towns). For ...

But I'm having a hard time with the local map, there is no way to scroll it so I can see the whole maping without moving to another location? And is there any other way to mark important buildings on your map aside from talking to a NPC when you are near of one inn/store/temple?

There are a few ...

Linkuya, when you say "hard to get into" do you mean the game's ability to keep your interest? The difficulty of learning the controls, or the difficulty of the first dungeon?

Aside from each individual's level of patience and ability to focus, with a few 'hints' and an approach that relies on ...
