Some Questions

At the moment my character lies dead due to a lvl 5 forage explosion in the Upper Bog by the NE village, I was working off 500k of DP thanks to all the running around I have to do being neutral and having no TPs to skip aggro.
My 3 packers and mount are down in the Upper Bog from where I left them more than a year ago, however everytime I get killed theres no one in the southern part of matis to ask for a res and I am getting fed up with running down from the cities or over from Kami Circle.

1. Does anyone still frequent that area ? Where do forest foragers all go now ?
2. The nearby outpost has 2 structures designated as under construction what are they ? Where are the guards and shops they said would be in outposts to sell off your stuff ?
3. I spent ages getting my rep up with all the villages, matis and tryker to the point where I was between 80-100 with all of them, I now find its all gone. Did they reset it and if so why ?
4. Is there a list of all the TPs that are neutral ?
5. Do the TP's in the Nexus now work ? Does it still contain supreme mats ?

Thanks in advance.

Personally I never go to Upper Bog, I find the area far too aggro for my taste. You'll find much more people in Garden of Confusion.

The reputation was reset (IIRC) when the new fame system came. I think the information here is still accurate: http://www.ryzom.com/news/archive/2005/ ... nd-edition

Neutrals can take both Kami and Karavan TP in Nexus.

The two structures are for extensions in the future. The guards only show up during the outpost wars.

Before the fame patch your global fame was calculated by civilization fame + guild fame + personal fame. What remains after the fame revamp is the personal fame part only

There is, but I don't remember where, sorry.

Both are active and available for neutrals. And there are still supreme mats.

I hope this helps you a bit.

Upper Bog is a q200 zone if I'm not mistaken, there should be a neutral TP avaliable there, either Kami or Kara.

Everyone gets 1 TP in q50-200 zones, even kami and kara alligned (the exception being the zorai, matis and tryker q50 zones where there are tp's in the towns for that particular faction).

A neutral tp in upper bog is kami.

And mate, why not ask around Yrk and then run with someone to UB? Yrk is densely populated at all times. :D

Coming some time in the far off future. Just one of the things they didn't include in the cut down version of OPs that was finally implemented. Falls way short of the originally suggested content but hey be thankful you got em at all. ;)

Yup they made the TPs that didn't work before functional when they did the fame upgrade.

Foragers often dig near the Ecowarriors on the rare occasions that I have dug there.

You should still have fame with many of the tribes. It is now personal fame only - your guild fame contribution is gone. Tribes that you had fame with solely because of your guild will now be missing from your list. Your fame scores are hidden if your national status is 'undetermined'. If you chose Neutral race or take a Federal rite (Tryker, Matis, Zorai or Fyros), then you will be able to see your tribal fame scores again. However, the tribal fame scores now have caps, which vary according to your race and your factional alignment. (look on the Ballistic Mystix forums if you want to know the caps). So you could lose tribal fame depending on your choice. For instance, the Ecowarriors are Kamist zealots, a neutral Tryker will have a +100 fame cap with them, but if you go Karavan, your Ecowarrior fame will drop to -50.

If you want help moving your packers, send me a /tell. :)



P.S. On occasion, I have seen a few tribes disappear from the fame list for no apparent reason. You still have fame with them, generally doing another mission will make them reappear on the list.

When I was neutral, I found that keeping a packer at the Karavan teleport in Knoll of Dissent made getting to Grove of Confusion easy. And, ya, I recommend digging in GoC. I practically skipped Bog to go to GoC.

Two points:

The neutral TP in Upper Bog is the kara one (not kami)
