Cartographers and Seekers Contest (NA) - Discussion Thread

Where are you people getting landmark highlight-less maps?!

There is an icon on the map, I believe it's right above the zoom icons. The icon looks like an eye.
Each time you press the icon it removes hides some elements on the map. There are 3 or 4 settings, can't remember exactly.

Slight confusion regarding the rules of entry of the maps. While I know that players within the actual cartography thread are posting screenshots fitted to the template, is it required that our map itself be a screenshot, or are we allowed to use an outside program to create the map itself. The instructions only state that for the "answers thread" we will need to use a screenshot to show our location itself. The only rules regarding creating the map that are stated are the minimum size of it, the location restrictions, and the character/ect information.....

You take a screenshot of the map within the game based on where you want it located, and then you crop that spot on the map onto the template provided.

PSA: Google Drive is unreliable for image hosting. One day it works fine with permissions set correctly, then next it's blocking all incoming requests for no reason. I ended up having to re-post using Photobucket.

I found a better location. Can I resubmit?

Why is there no edit option!? I missed spelled Dravanian and worst of all I forgot the Red X!

[MilesSaintboroguh]

Probably to avoid people trolling seekers or the like by changing their entry into something different after people already posted.

Just curious but it says by normal means... Does this include flying because in heavens ward it seems everyone just flies everywhere now a days, this will certainly make it more fun as we include a new form of axis to use for treasure hunting over the normal X/Y methods

I would assume "yes."
Particularly because HW locations are also gated behind level 50... haha
