Hello everyone and thank you so much for taking part in
X Marks The Spot! Well done to you all!
Special thanks to everyone who posted on the thread with updates on how you were doing and to say that you enjoyed it! Reading your lovely comments about the hunt made all the work behind the scenes worthwhile. I'm so glad that you had fun searching for the dragons, discovering (and putting together) the map pieces, and finding the final treasure badge!
Also a big thank you once again to all of our volunteers who allowed their dragons to hold on to those map pieces, @
chamilet & @
Winter0sun for help with running the event, and especially to the artists who made this event possible: @
Enekokoro & @
UtiBooty (map and final treasure badge), @
brighteningskies (thread graphics) and @
Winter0Sun (animation of final badge)!
I'm now going to post the final solution and then the code for the solved map and the treasure. Everyone who made their donation to the Arcane Dominance Bank as part of this event (even if you didn't make it all the way to the end!) is welcome to claim this set of badges.
X Marks The Spot Solution:
Map Pieces: each map piece has been given a position: the first number is the which horizontal row it sits in (1 at the top, 5 at the bottom) and the second is the vertical column (1 is furthest left, 4 is furthest right).
Search: The link to Dragon Search in each clue has been replaced with a link to the specific search that was intended to find that dragon (i.e. with all the search terms available from the clue plugged in).
Fun fact: the clues were written to the same rhyme/rhythm scheme as The Wellerman, the shanty that was popularised on TikTok ... so
technically you could sing all the clues as a sea shanty! Here's the chorus:
Find clues to test your mind
To mage and marauder your trail will wind
Soon now the map you’ll find
And then the X you’ll seize!
