Cartographers and Seekers Contest (NA) - Discussion Thread

[H3rring]

This is a really awesome contest. I hope to see more like it in the future.

Are we permitted to add a bit of lore to our Cartography entries (similar to the hints in the Sightseeing Log)? It doesn't have to affect the answers, but it could be a nice touch for other players to see why others chose their spots.

Yes, if you wish to do so, you can add additional information similar to the Sightseeing Log along with your cartography entries!

The EU version better show up soon cause theres nothing but ingame prizes so theres no excuse to leave us hanging.

Just curious about two things.

1. For the cartographers, can we do dungeons or is it limited to just the field maps?

2. For the seekers, can we add flavor text in addition to the screenshot?

Hi Reowinn,

Just curious about two things.

1. For the cartographers, can we do dungeons or is it limited to just the field maps?

Of course! I bet you can find some really unique places this way!

2. For the seekers, can we add flavor text in addition to the screenshot?

As long as the description remains appropriate, you can add your own flavor text.

Are we allowed to touch the map up with obscuring effects, Similar to what exists around the edges of the current in-game treasure maps?

Tried to post my screenshot there, but I'm not sure how to correctly put pictures into forum posts. Any help?

I prefer using Imgur. I don't think you need an account to upload images. Just make sure you post a direct image link.

Imgur is the quickest and easiest way to upload an image for use in your web page.

1.Navigate to the Imgur.
2.Click the upload images button at the top of the page.
3.Use the options provided to upload your images.
4.Click the Start Upload button.
5.When the upload is complete, copy and save the URL provided in the Direct Link (email & IM) field - this is your public URL.
6.If you uploaded more than one image, you can use the Prev and Next at the top left to navigate through your images and copy each URL.
