The Ancient Inscriptions: More than we think?
|
One of the Councilors of Kinung has recently posted on the Chronicles of the Winds and to have been immortalized in gold indicates it must have some significance. See below for details:
BOARD TITLE: Chronicles of the Winds
FROM: Omyer DATE: 12/25
SUBJECT: Study of the inscriptions
Ever since I heard about the ancient inscriptions that were found by the Mining clan I decided to venture into the Lost Mines and study them further. After days of examining them, I was able to determine that there are seven types of inscriptions, each based on one of the focal points known to the southwestern civilizations as "chakra".
These inscriptions while having similar power, allow us to awaken different energy fields from our body when used. From what I was able to learn the ones that represent chakras closest to the root tend to unveil most of our inner energy at once, while those that are closer to the crown may unleash less energy at the start but have prolonged effects and boost in performance.
If anyone else is interested in helping with the studies of these inscriptions, please share your findings as well.
Signed,
Omyer
|
For those unaware, Kinung was originally created back in August of 2009 and was created to be the hub of role-play for all Nexians.
This is an excerpt from the original posting by KRU when Nexians were invited to apply for the position of Councilor in February of 2009 prior to the areas opening:
"Surround yourself with imagination and contribute your creativity to help role-play increase and prosper into the Kingdom of the Winds! Will the winds whisper the legend of your deeds forever? Do you wish to encourage the discovery of the new role-play town (Kinung), share your knowledge with others, and serve your kingdom? We seek you, who will remain true to the Nexus vision and its reason for existence. Such a position will require devotion, so should you have limited time, please do not apply.
The chosen players will become the Councilors of Kinung. They will regulate rules, politics and everything needed to promote role-playing. They will work with players on the literature, history, philosophy, biography of our heroes, and the lore of Nexus. They will work on painting, music, events, stories and poems, magic, politics, economics and much more! This is your chance to get involved in this new and exciting area of the game, with its own system. Get yourself involved in Kinung by overseeing and helping evolve a new society. Many adventures await you and you will make history. Unravel Kinung's mystery and help share its many unique aspects!"
Knowing this, Councilor Omyer of Kinung must be pointing us to some interesting and fun opportunities!
Though, we have not seen any sign of Kinungs Mayor or Councilors since the debacle with Nagnang in October 2017 he now urges those interested to post their own findings on the Chronicles of the Winds. What type of 'effects and/or boosts' have you noticed with the use of your inscription? We look forward to seeing where all this leads!
Sidenote: He is one of the few remaining with the title: 'Commoner' originally given to the Councilors of Kinung.

Access the Desolate Mines
Posted
by: Vini
-- 3:50 PM EST
|
Earlier today there was a server reset which introduced the third and final part of the Lost Mines event.
As expected, this final now allows all who have concluded the Jailed Gnome quest and obtained the "Gained access to the Desolate Mines" to enter the depths of the Lost Mines where the leeches are located. However, this time it isn't only the usual leeches lurking around the desolate mines. This time a unique new creature is around called "Dokkaebi" and they look scary.
Here's a copy of the Whispering Winds post introducing the final part of the event:
BOARD TITLE: Whispering winds
FROM: NexusTK DATE: 5/8
SUBJECT: The Dokkaebi Menace
Turmoil has emerged from the depths of the Lost Mines. After hundreds of citizens laid their floating steps, the path down to the Desolate Mines has been created.
In hopes to retrieve hidden treasures the leeches have been taking from the Gnomes' vault in the Earth's Navel, people have been rushing through the floating stairs. However, the path down towards the leeches revealed a very dangerous new menace: the Dokkaebis. The underground caverns are infested with these vicious creatures and they seem thirsty for your blood.
Descending the well is not recommended, but if you insist on doing so, find yourself a group with other explorers. It's dangerous to go alone.
Those who decide to brave the leeches' lair may also hear a strange voice echoing down from the deep valleys... |
To enter the desolate mines go near the well at the Deep Mines room, marked with red * in the map I provided yesterday. It will taking your soaring steps and give you access to the bottom of the well. Once you use your soaring steps you can enter that area as many times as you want.
It is confirmed that this final part of the event has a quest involving a Hobgoblin who trades gemstones for some powerful weapons.
The Nexus Atlas team is working a walkthrough, a detailed map of the inner mines, a list of weapons rewards and their stats as well as a list of boss drops. Stay tuned for more information, but if you are in a rush to get your new weapon there are some walkthoughs available in the community board already.
A note: The reset seems to have happened as soon as Hyul 104 began. So happy Hyul 104!

Guji's Mining Shop
Posted
by: Vini
-- 9:50 PM EST
|
Since the Lost Mines opened the good fella Guji has been missing-in-action or so we thought. The little boy has been warning us that Guji seems to have a new shop and after searching for the shop on many random locations we actually found it hiding in plain sight.
The empty tent near the Woodlands mining field is empty no more.
It seems Guji has established a new shop for miners in the Woodlands. Just like Thane, he sells Mining shovel and Mining pick, which can come up handy for those who wish to mine in the Lost Mines and the Deep Mines rooms. No more need of traveling to the Wilderness to get mining tools if you're mining in the Woodlands or in the Lost Mines. Just head to the Miners' Shop at 150,025.
It seems quite convenient that Guji came up with this shop right when he concluded the new entrance to the Lost Mines. Some may think the reason the new entrance took so long was that he was doing his parallel project to profit from the situation. It's not a bad idea, but if that was the case, Guji's priorities were very poorly chosen, since while we waited the whole mining clan was running out of food in the depths of the Lost Mines.

Gnome Suit and Gnomide Dress
Posted
by: Vini
-- 10:35 PM EST
|
The recent discovery of the Gnomes and Gnomides can stir a lot of emotions in the community. While some may find them cute and harmless, others are very angry at them for all the coins they've been stealing.
Whether you find them friendly or a nuisance, there is one thing all can agree which is that these tiny little creatures have style, or better saying, they have swing! With that in mind the seamstress of Koguryo have began weaving some new suits and dresses based on the Gnomes and Gnomides clothing and are called swing suit and swing dress. Here are sets being sold in Kruna Item Shop:
 
Remember you can try multiple Kruna shop items combinations in the Nexus Dresser room by pressing Shift+F9. This allows you to test how the items you intend to buy would look on you.

The usual miners clothing set is back at the Kruna Item Shop.
There are 12 colors of Miner's hat available:
Black, blue, brown, gray, green, grin, lava, magenta, purple, red, white and yellow miner's hat.
There are 11 colors of Miner's tools available:
Black, blue, brown, gold, green, magenta, pink, purple, red, white and regular miner's tools.
These items are purely cosmetic won't give you any advantage on gaining mining skills faster. However, they do make you look much more suited for the adventures in the Lost Mines.

Miner's Clan Starving - In Dire Need of Help!
|
As we brave the lost mines we come across a variety of new and old characters and mobs.
      
Our Journey starts in Nagnang Woodlands where we find Min-hi once more as well as the Entrance to the Lost Mines:
 |
You wind your way through the Muddy Rabbit Hole and the Lost Mines you find yourself in the Deep Mines once again!
Upon exploring the area, you find that it leads in three different directions: East leads to the Cleft of the Ground, South leads to the Gnome Village and West leads to the Miner's Refuge.
We decide to check in on the Miner's Clan - they are the reason we entered after all! So we make our way through the Deep Mines we head West and through the Supply Tunnels into the Miner's Refuge.
Upon inspection we notice everyone is looking rather lean and the worse for wear. Curious as to what's going on you begin to ask around. You come across a man named Supply Sam and he tells you that he needs help replenishing their food supplies as they've been destroyed by the Trolls and their nuts and brooms were cursed by the adorable yet devious Gnomes!
Desperately wanting to help, you grab some of the walnuts, peanuts and hazelnuts laying right outside and bring them to Supply Sam with a bright smile and say "I brought food". He responds with a list of things they need:
Cereals
Dry legumes
Something to 'dry and preserve' rabbit meat
Stack of nuts that won't get hexed
You graciously agree to help him and begin to think of what type of foods to bring.
While you ponder you move onto speak to the rest of the members of the Miner's Clan and see a familiar face - LaRockee. However, he seems a bit busy planning his Primogen's rescue and asks if you could help his wife LaPinna who is nursing people below. Being of an agreeable nature you mosey on down and tap her on the shoulder and say "I want to help"
 
She bustles about while giving you a list of what she needs:
Clean cloth 
A healing drink
A herb that grows in 'muddy bottoms'
You get her the items and chat with the rest of the clan as she suggests. Most of them mention their hatred of the gnomes and offer warnings of their deceit. Some of the miner's swear to defend their refuge with their lives. While others had more interesting things to say. A few noteworthy things mentioned are:
Injured Miner mentions a 'Magic Void Orb' that is currently protecting the Miner's Refuge
Recovering Miner tells us of the Prisoners in Gnome Village
Miserable Miner expands on the barrier provided by the 'Magic Void Orb' and worries how long it will continue to protect them against the Trolls
You wonder about this orb and magic barrier they speak of and begin to head out to do some more investigating. Along the way you run into a Worried Miner who asks that you check on his brothers:
Of course, you yet again agree to help and say you will check in on them when you get there. With so much at stake for the Miner's Clan I hope we can find the specific items they need before the 'Magic Void Orb' fails!
Updates will be posted as discovered! **Credit to SaltyJack for the word prompts. Credit to Ganondorf, Bommer, SaltyJack, Duboy, Mirari for help with LaPinna quest**

Lost Mines: Side Quests Walk-Thru Part 1
|
By speaking to those left in the Miner's Refuge we discover that a group of Underground Leaders has been baited, caught and imprisoned by the current Gnome leader!
   
Our Journey continues and you wind your way back until you find yourself in the Deep Mines once again!
You decide to make your way South to see what you can do to help the Imprisoned Leaders!
However, you come across the dark and maze-filled South Tunnel, luckily a random fool dropped their map so you find it easy to navigate.
  
You finally make it to the Gnome Village and weave through all the gnomes and their huts to make your way to the bottom right corner to speak with the Imprisoned Leaders and finally hear what they have to say:
You find your interest piqued by Lucky's claim to having a Plan and ask him about it ~ In response he says:
At this point Lucky asks for the following Ingredients:
10 Copper Acorns
10 Silver Acorns
10 Earthbound Essences
1 Oily Ore
1 Sturdy Mold
Once you turn in the items he requests you'll receive Geognite. Taking your new Geognite you head to the Earth's Navel
in the Gnome Village and drop the Geognite until you get a pop-up that asks for:
 1 Mud - Mining
1 Clay - Mining
1 Rock Piece - Mining
Upon completion you receive a brand new legend mark:  as well as an Grande box.
However... you then remember that the Jailed Gnome Etiju also mentioned something about needing help with his wife so you start to gather the items needed to make the Floating Steps he speaks of:
4 Claystone - Trolls
4 Marlstone - Trolls
4 Siltstone - Trolls
12 Magically Sealed Notes
10 Floating Essences
Once you return to Etiju with the items he rewards you with a new legend mark  as well as a set of 6 Floating Steps - Now you wonder how these 6 steps will help you down the deep Well!!
Credit to Stormin <3, NoBrows, Arkanis, Dragoneer, Kayn, Mirari and Jasta for their help!

Brave the Lost Mines
Posted
by: Vini
-- 10:50 AM EST
|
The new entrance to the Lost Mines is finally ready thanks to the great work of Guji and all who helped with donating materials to build the new entrance.
To enter the Lost Mines go to the Woodlands at 140,005. Having helped with the new entrance does not seem to be a requirement to enter the cave. Upon entering the cave you'll receive a new legend mark.
The post on the Dream Weavers board also mentions that the Easter Event is now gone. Here's a copy of the Whispering Winds post introducing the event:
BOARD TITLE: Whispering winds
FROM: NexusTK DATE: 5/8
SUBJECT: The Lost Mines rescue
After many weeks of work, Guji finally finished constructing on the new entrance to the Lost Mines. It definitely took longer than he expected.
While digging the expanded tunnel around the rabbit hole wasn't that hard for him, Guji ended finding trouble with the muddy walls of the mining cave. He needed to make sure the new entrance would be strong enough to not collapse like the old one.
However, the type of wood people helped him collect wasn't strong enough to create a strong structure enough to sustain the new entrance tunnel, and so, he needed more time for the moisty mud on the walls to dry.
Now that the new entrance was created by Guji, it can also serve as an exit for the trapped miners who have survived for a long time underground.
Yet, before seeing the sunlight again, the Mining clan still needs to treat their wounded co-workers. While most of them have taken refuge in the old Supply Cache, some of them are still in need of rescue.
After enduring for so long together, the miners swore to leave no women or men behind.
Can you help them? |
Once inside you can find old and new Lost Mines creatures. From the usual rabbits and squirrels, to the newly discovered Gnomes & Gnomides, their walking brooms and the menacing Stone Trolls.
  
Although the reset was done a few hours ago, the Nexus Atlas team has just began exploring the event. So please stay tuned for more information throughout the day.

Foreboding Forewarning Received After Festival!
|
After last night's Beltane Festival hosted by the Druids, a few Diviner's gathered in their circle, within moments many were gripped by Augury Visions.
Details of each are below:
BOARD TITLE: Chronicles of the Winds
FROM: Ushallfeerme DATE: 10/5
SUBJECT: Augury Vision.
-A white sheet of paper is pinned to the board with a golden pin. The writing covering the face of it is written in a rich black ink.-
I see a group of people. Thirteen.
They appear to have survived a great deal of strife.
Darkness.
Trapped.
An hour glass running out of sand.
Silence.
A sigh.
Hungry, the pain is too much to bear.
Despair.
The end.
Silence broken. Noise from above. First light.
Aid?
Hope restored.
The begin to question once more; "Will we survive?"

BOARD TITLE: Chronicles of the Winds
FROM: Nocsee DATE: 10/9
SUBJECT: Augury Vision
As the Beltane fires shrink slowly and die down in
the distance, I wake up in the fields nearby from
quite the Vision. Beltane is over - but I can not
shake what I saw, what I felt.
A feeling of hunger, pain and despair continues
to fill me.
The thirteen are not gone. They are huddled
together, keeping each other warm. They still
have food, but for how long? They must be found
soon - to not fade away..
They often look up; hoping for a ray of light
to appear, not giving up in the others that
will hopefully save them.
This feeling of despair and hope intertwine and continue
to resonate, as I gather myself, stand up and walk away
from the fields where I spent the night.

BOARD TITLE: Chronicles of the Winds
FROM: Silvarion DATE: 10/10
SUBJECT: A Vision
Darkness, echoes and moans. I can feel the heavy air in there.
Handfuls of.. creatures? The winds carried what I can make out to be whispers that sounded like "food"? It seemed like they are... hungry?
I saw one pair of eyes through the fog, a look of frustration and perhaps despair. Their will to live slowly slipping away with the passage of time.
-
I snap out of my trance and realize that I was still standing underneath the tree in our circle. I quickly penned down my vision on our boards and prepared myself, ready to set out at a moment's notice.
Perhaps this time, light has gone through the dark curtains we call Fate?
Silvarion Devoura

|
A recurring theme is the number 13, darkness and hunger - is this pointing us towards those in dire need within the Lost Mines or perhaps the bait meant to lure us to a pit of vicious creatures?
We hope the diviners have recovered from their harrowing visions and are doing well.
Let a NA reporter know if you see anything out of the ordinary!
