My weakness I believe is not taking the time to study the wiki enough.  Katt tells me I am too keen to level rather than relax in the game.  Perhaps I need to work at that!  I see the same weaknesses in the tale as I see in real life!  lol :0)

I found it useful to do a dry run of the circuit for this principle.  On the Paradise Plains Wiki there is a useful guide and map of the circuit.  I also made sure that I had landmarked the mine and the Ritual Torch to help finding it easier.  However the landmarks are not pinpoint accurate so you may need to use your co'ords to get to the exact spot for the Ritual Torch which is harder to see than the mine.

Now that's done you might want to do a restart although it may not be necessary.  Now open the program and then '''File-Open'''.  Here is a list of Macro's available but most are for another game (Asheron's Call or something?).  However, there is a macro in there called '''"atitd slate clay grass.mac"'''.  This is a great Macro for collecting.  It is not completely automated which means that you have to move the avatar but there is no need to click on the icon.  This is particularly useful for collecting clay...run, and you can't click fast enough...walk, and it takes an age.  This one automatically stops over the slate and pick it up whenever the avatar passes over it.

So a couple of tips to make sure it works.  when you have opened the Macro, you need to enter the parameters in the bottom right hand of the program window.  This is where you set it to run for a certain number of cycles.  I set mine to 1,000,000 or 100,000 so that it is running for as long as I want it too.  Then click the start button also on the bottom right hand corner of the program window. Then make sure that the atitd window is the main focus window (especially important if you are using dual monitors).  Move your avatar over the item you want to collect, say slate, and then hover your cursor over the slate icon (top left of screen).  Then press F2 on your keyboard.  Your avatar should collect the slate.  then every time your avatar is moved over slate it will stop and collect the slate.  If this becomes annoying you can pause the macro  in the program next to the start button.  Make sure that your avatar emote is set to: Walk.

My Life In Egypt

My Egypt wife Aubery and I live in Shabbat Ab (Eden Herbs Guild Hall - 2660,1830).

My goals this tale are:

To grow and develop our guild, Edens Herbs

To level up...achieve the most levels I can with the time I have to spend in game

Last tale I felt a bit lost and well behind in my grasp of the tale and it's objectives. This gives me a forth objective:

To build a better understanding of the way the game flows

My weakness I believe is not taking the time to study the wiki enough. Someone used to tell me I am too keen to level rather than relax in the game. Perhaps I need to work at that! I see the same weaknesses in the tale as I see in real life! lol :0)

So here are some useful and important links coordinates:

Home sweet home - 2670,1847

Sculpture for voting - 2316,2755

Empty Hand Puzzle - 2316,2757

Paradise Plains Guild Hall - 2281,2761

Other Useful Coordinates

Really good slate place - 2433,2301 to 2471,2242 Thanks BlueGrass - I got 450 here in an hour (BG managed 495!)

Tar - 59,1284 (A long run!)

Red Sand - 771, -2961 (Another long run!)

I'm told these are good places to grow vegetables, but I haven't checked them myself yet!

Cabbage x10 - 1453,3284 (East of UWorship in StillWater)

Leeks x11 - 1454,3319

Garlic x10 - 1362,3684 (West, North West of SThought)

Coconut trees - Near SWorship in Stillwater and another near Bluegrass cp 2300,3295 North of Prism altar


Currently working on:

Votes for Art & Music Principle. My sculpture is located as stated above. Please come and vote :0)

Judges for Empty Hand Puzzle(Principle of Thought). Right next to my sculpture, so you can kill two birds with one stone!

Principles of Harmony - Searching for an Initiate of six or more & an Initiate of Worship - Please chat me if you can help.

Test of Acrobat - Please help me to pass this Principle and test by asking to acro. I my move is Windmill. I will update here and in my info regarding what facets I need.

Test of Obelisk - I'm in the queue and if I don't get jumped (which I will!) my obelisk should be about size 75. I'm collecting mat's now and am in the SOB's Guild. All donations gratefully accepted! :) The biggest challenge is going to be Linen. I reckon I will need at least 77!! Think you might want to trade? Chat me!

Helpful tips for Worship Initiation

I found it useful to do a dry run of the circuit for this principle. On the Paradise Plains Wiki there is a useful guide and map of the circuit. I also made sure that I had landmarked the mine and the Ritual Torch to help finding it easier. However the landmarks are not pinpoint accurate so you may need to use your co'ords to get to the exact spot for the Ritual Torch which is harder to see than the mine. Make sure that there is a torch there. You will probably need to build one yourself (1 Board & 1 Canvas - Ritual Item Construction is a prerequisite), then guild it so the other either party can light it.

Another issue is to make sure that both parties understand the procedure. One should take the lead in giving instructions. Then decide who is going to do the incantations and who is going to make the sacrifices. Also, think carefully about the skill you are going to learn and make sure you have a back up if you fail (like we did!). The time is tight on this principle, but it is a lot of fun..my favourite so far!

One other thing I found tricky was copying and pasting the incantations from the wiki without quotes. Therefore, to speed it up I have made a table below to make it easier to copy and paste. I hope you find this useful.

Finally, we found it best to run north after the Ra Ritual to the road that runs to ULead. Then when you reach the road run East toward the altar. Had about 9 minutes spare at the end of the principle!

Worship Incantations

Open a separate browser window and copy and paste the following incantations into the Main chat window (no other chat in this window). I have followed the order of the circuit described in the Paradise Plains Wiki page.

Horus Praise Horus, King of Egypt!
Bastet Praise Bastet, who teaches grace and elegance!
Amun Praise Amun, who gives us reason to celebrate!
Isis Praise Isis, whose seed is forever fertile!
Thoth Praise Thoth, the Magician who created Science!
Osiris Praise Osiris, who was Reborn like the Scarab!
Ra Praise Ra, of the Blazing Eye!


Macro's for Dummies (Like Me!)

I finally worked out how to use macro's. Whoot! As a Vista user I thought the following may help you. If you haven't used Macro's before first you need to download and install AC Tools from here: http://www.actool.net Download the first program NOT "AC Tools Source". When you have downloaded the program it doesn't install a shortcut to your desktop or start menu so go to Computer - Hard Drive (Volume C:) - Programs - AC Tools. Then right click the ACTool.exe file and select "Send to" then "Create Shortcut (Desktop)". While there, if you are running Windows Vista go:- right click - properties - select "compatability" then place a tick in the box "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and ensure that Windows XP (Service Pack 2) is selected. Also put a tick in "Run this program as an administrator, then Apply and OK.

Compatibility Screenie.jpg


Now that's done you might want to do a restart although it may not be necessary. Now open the program and then File-Open. Here is a list of Macro's available but most are for another game (Asheron's Call or something?). However, there is a macro in there called "atitd slate clay grass.mac". This is a great Macro for collecting. It is not completely automated which means that you have to move the avatar but there is no need to click on the icon. This is particularly useful for collecting clay...run, and you can't click fast enough...walk, and it takes an age. This one automatically stops over the slate and pick it up whenever the avatar passes over it.

So a couple of tips to make sure it works. when you have opened the Macro, you need to enter the "number of times to run" in the bottom right hand of the program window. This is where you set it to run for a certain number of cycles. I set mine to 1,000,000 or 100,000 so that it is running for as long as I want it too. Then click the start button also on the bottom right hand corner of the program window.

Screenie.jpg

Then make sure that the atitd window is the main focus window (especially important if you are using dual monitors). Move your avatar over the item you want to collect, say slate, and then hover your cursor over the slate icon (top left of screen). Then press F2 on your keyboard. Your avatar should collect the slate. then every time your avatar is moved over slate it will stop and collect the slate. If this becomes annoying you can pause the macro in the program next to the start button. Make sure that your avatar emote is set to: Walk.

So if you are on a particular slate run, just click to the end of the run and the avatar will stop and click all the slate it passes over automatically :)

I will add additional links to other atitd macro's here in due course.

Foraging

Just a quick link to a foraging web database which I find works very well for identifying, herbs, harvesting methods and recording sightings. It loads altogther which I have not found slow at all using my "upto 8mb" dsl connection. Give it a try here: [1]
