Exchange rates, Auction stuff, and Na'Gath Hole!

Tired of looking for that moving exchange, and risking lives to check the exchange rates, the BoW staff set out on a mission to make the exchange a better place.
Tapping into Hoof's super secret security system (Ok, not really, just a really nifty coding feat by Jinxeth), we now have 24/7 video footage of the exchanges!

NA'GATH HOLE CAMERA
Also, more recently, the BoW staff got frustrated looking for that pesky Na'Gath Hole.
Once again tapping into the security network (A.K.A. Jinxeth's code monkey skills), the BoW presents the Na'Gath Hole Cam!

Now how about a Chest Cam next? No, not that kind of chest cam, although that would be nice too.

Yeah I really second this one ...... Chest cam would be one of the best things ...... specially if you can locate the moving exchanges .... why cant you do the same with the chests!!!!!!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

The reason we can't locate the chests, is because while there is only 1 exchange in the Frozen North, there are at least 30 quests in the Gothador realm.
So where it would be a simple Detect > Exchange in the FN, trying to set it up to do a little "Seek and destroy" for the Harren/Magic chest(s) would just be hell.
I will pass the idea along though
EDIT: Ok, talked to them about it, and it's a no-go. I should have thought of it myself, but there really is good way to find the chests other then by luck. The chests also moving every time someone finds them is a factor as well. Sorry

Besides, even if you did pay to cover the AP, you'd get given the co-ords of the chests but there would be nothing to stop someone else stumbling upon it, opening it and thus moving it before you got there.
So I'm afriad that with the chests, the best bet is the old fashioned way
1. Mark on the excel map where you are
2. Detect Quest
3. Check the location isn't already marked on the map
4. If it is, count how many AP it is to that quest location and then mark that many squares in each direction as "Search".
5. Move outside of the searched area and detect again
6. Goto 3
There's a thread which also has some great tips about doing this. Just make sure you have plenty of time and plenty of AP before you start. Ideally, you should do it during a quieter time (like 9am game time).

THe quests are hard for a reason. This is taking it a bit too far.
Aye. What I'm talking about here is just using the Sight+ skill. Anybody can cover a 100x100 realm in 1112 AP if they can be bothered to use the AP.
I assume you are talking about a service to locate stuff rather than using excel maps? Cos I can't see what's wrong with using excel maps and giving people tips on how to locate quests (or, in fact, using Sight+ since it is in the game for that very reason).
