HotW Submission: Resettled Ruin - Backstreets Hideout
|
Redid the middle section of my hideout today, and now that I've done that, and all of my masters except Zana are level 8, I think it's time to show off.
The Concept
As soon as I first got a look at Vorici's empty hideout, I knew what I wanted to do with it: the long-abandoned ruins of what was once a thriving town, overgrown with greenery as the years passed, and then resettled in much the same way that all the towns we see in Wraeclast have been built in the ruin of a previous settlement. I also gave it a few steampunkish touches on the waypoint and map device. The bottom section mainly focuses on the waypoint and stash, but also has nooks for Catarina and Tora. The middle section is a market, in which all the masters who craft arms and armor -- Haku, Vagan, Vorici, and Leo -- have stalls. Zana guards the stairs up to the map device, and beyond that, Elreon tends a tiny shrine at which one may offer supplication and thanks to RNGesus.
The Album
http://imgur.com/a/Yruui Having mostly level 8 masters means that I could rotate them in and out while screenshotting, and thus you see all eight of them in their respective places even though I can only really have four + Leo in there at a time just like everyone else. (Hardly any of them are ever actually in those places.) At the end of the album are two screenshots in edit mode, to give a general idea of how some of the more densely-packed areas are set up. I have no idea how many items I used to decorate it, except that it's definitely not 750 (I think most people who hit the cap are using more groundcover than I am). The only MTX that are in there right now, aside from my cat (who I don't think made it into any screenshots anyway), are the transformer (by the map device) and the apprentice banner (Vorici's stall); everything else is standard deco, with most of the plant life coming from Tora (except the thick trees used along most of the walls, which are Catarina's), market stalls from Vorici, steampunk goodies from Vagan and Zana, and a lot of random bits and bobs from everyone.
