(Note: Make sure you click CONTINUE (if applicable) when you have completed each part!)
(New Note: The "Add Star" button in the telescope does NOT add a new star to the sky. Instead, it lets you add a star to the constellation you're currently building without drawing a line. This is important to know.)
========= The Beginning ============
1. Click the big castle in the center of the map, The Hall of Heroes
2. In the very back-right corner, you'll see a familiar character. Click him!
3. Hey! It's our old friend again. Looks like he has a new job-- Janitor. Click that button that's next to him.
---> Hm, nothing happened.
4. Oh well, Now click the Altadorian Archives, then go into the doorway on the right.
5. Click the book that is under one of the table legs and balancing it.
---> Hm, we're going to have to replace it...
6. Now go to the QUARRY. And find a rock that'll be suitable. Stumped? Here.
---> Aha! A good replacement for that book...
7. Go back to the Altadorian Archives and click that same book again.
---> We can access the book now! (Located near the top-right part of the scene)
8. You can read the prologue from that book now.
---> Advance a page by clicking the top-right of the book, go back by clicking the top-left.
*** Page 1~3 Acquired! *** (out of 53 pages)
9. Go back to the Janitor in The Hall of Heroes and talk to him.
---> Hmm. We're going to need something to help oil some gears...
10. Click each statue until you find a bottle of oil & a rag.
---> Note: Location is different for each person. Perhaps you should write where you found it, just in case. (Although evidence indicates that it is NOT relevant)
11. Once you've found it, go back to the Janitor and click the button again.
---> The ceiling opens up! Let there be LIGHT!
* On the left side of The Hall of Heroes, there is now a staircase leading up to a dome-shaped room. Looks like a telescope is missing.
* If you click each statue in The Hall of Heroes, on the very top pixels /section of the picture of the statue, you can click and look up, and get some arrangement of gems. There is a helpful compilation of the pictures by soymimi here
======= We see the light =======
1. So it looks like the Astronomy club is finally advertising. Go to the Altador Archives and click the pamphlet that shows a telescope. Or click here!
---> You've recieved a telescope!
2. Go back to the Hall of Heroes and go up the staircase on the left side. Click the telescope holder.
---> It fits! You've found the cinderella! ... Actually I guess you found the slipper... oh whatever.
3. Now for the work. Get to it! Start mapping. By the way, Everyone's star formation is different from another. We can help with details, but you're going to have to interpret on your own from now on!
---> Excellent star mapper courtesy of DarkFire here. Follow the instructions on her post.
---> If you want to map your coordinates yourself in Excel, AngelFoxBlue wrote some pretty clear instructions on doing that here.
===== Constellations: Found! ======
1. THE SLEEPER
--> a. Go to The TOMB (bottom-left corner of the main Altador Map)
On the door of the tomb, the black dots are clickable. Try clicking it.
It lights up
--> b. Go to the Wise Lenny in The Altadorian Archives.
--> c. Go to the observatory and look in your telescope. (At this time use Darkfire's mapper. Any time before this you'll get a different set of stars!)
--> d. Find the exact formation found in part a (the orientation is as seen on the tomb doors-- it is NOT rotated in any way) and you will have found your first constellation! (Important note: You MUST connect the lines rather than just using "Add Star". If you don't, the correct stars can be rejected!)
--> e. After you have found it, go back to the Lenny at the Altadorian Archives.
*** Page 4~7 Acquired! ***
--> f. Go to the Hall of Heroes and click on the DARK FAERIE (the one towards the bottom) and look up. The jewels are illuminated! (And the janitor complains of the light)
--> g. Check in with the Astronomy Club and see what they have to say about your discovery.
2. THE DREAMER
--> a. The top right cloud in Altador is clickable. Do it.
--> b. Near the top part of picture, click on the gaps inbetween the clouds. THis will reveal your new constellation to find.
--> c. Talk to the Lenny again to see what he has to say now
--> d. Go back to the Observatory and look through your telescope.
===> NOTE: Your star map is the SAME as before.
===> NOTE: You must connect the "top part" using the *connect stars* option, but to get the lone star you MUST use the *add star* option.
--> e. Once you have obtained your constellation and submitted it, the jewels above The Dreamer (left side) will be illuminated.
--> f. Go back to the Lenny, Astronomy Club, and Janitor to get new messages.
*** Page 8~11 Acquired! ***
3. FIRST TO RISE
--> a. Go back to the tomb (the one from constellation 1). Click the BOTTOM-LEFT corner of the picture. This SHOULD get you to a wide breathtaking view of Altador. (If this does not work, highlight the text above the picture, then click TAB 3 times. THen press enter.)
--> b. Go back to the Hall of Heroes, and click The Dancer (the Cybunny to the LEFT of the King)
--> c. Click the Window that is in view.
--> d. Click the circular pathway, and you'll see the next constellation.
--> e. Go back and talk to the Lenny in the Altador Archives (unnecessary though)
--> f. Return to the Observatory and look for that constellation!
--> g. Once you have found that, go back and talk to the Lenny and Janitor for some nice remarks from them.
*** Page 12~15 Acquired! ***
--> h. If you go to the Astronmy club once again, you'll get an ASTRONOMY BADGE! Yay.
4. THE FARMER
--> a. Go to the FARM. It's on the top center-rightish area of the island on Altador. Or for the lazy, click here.
--> b. Click the DOOR to the windmill (top right area)
--> c. Click the LEVER of the windmill (bottom left area)
--> d. You'll get yelled at, exit by clicking the DOORWAY. (right side)
--> e. Click the mounds of hay to expose your next constellation.
--> f. Go back and talk to the Lenny (if you want, that is)
--> g. Find your constellation by going to the Observatory.
--> h. Go back and talk to the Lenny, Astronomy Club, Janitor to see what they have to say.

So has everyone found they're newest one?
Farmer?
Wed Apr 05, 2006 3:32 am
You mean the Farmer? Yea. I checked around Altador a little while ago and didn't find anything. But considering my experience with plots, that's not surprising.

ok very, VERY strange.
I had an astronomy badge.
I put it in my SDB INSTANTLY.
Searching for Astronomy Badge is not finding it.
I have several hundred items in the sdb... i sorted by special... and found that I have a Yes Boy Ice Cream concert ticket. but I never bought one! unless i've had it for like, a year or something... i don't remember having this in here.
Interesting... badge disappears.... avatar appears... ticket appears....

That's because the badge is called "Astronomy Club Membership Badge"
Not "Astronomy Badge"
And Elric, I'd rather not see many more of your creations in this thread.

Hey now, I'm only doing it so I don't end up having to deal with fallout. Don't give me that oops smilie
. It's just I have enough to worry with 
Wed Apr 05, 2006 4:08 am
ohh man. I was planning to get you guys so good on April Fool's Day....
... but, mods decided it be best to not taunt you.... especially when many of you are new members......
... i was making make screenshots and star maps and making a script to pretend the wave had been released.... making screenshots of clickable places and having people posting being able to find it, and then post pictures of their starmaps and having us find the wave constellation on their star map (which would of course, be edited in photoshop ahead of time....)
here's an example of one of my screenies:
NOT REAL
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/ ... mgwave.gif
NOT REAL
and then there was the screenie with a wave formed in that water, now dark, of course, showing the constellation....
looks almost real, doesnt it? hehe.... you guys wouldve hated me after that... good thing i didnt do it i suppose..
SNak Edit: Too big pixel wise, changed into a link. And what I said to Elric goes to you too bub.

Oh, no, I was the one in the wrong. I debated whether or not to put it up, and I did the wrong thing. I "oopsed" because I am sorry.
I know you mods are doing your job, and we truly wouldn't be able to get anywhere without you guys.

Yeah but I got see it before it poof'ed. It was cute!

Hmm... okay, so the last clue was foreshadowed by the Janitor when he asked us if we had been raised in a barn. The clue for the Farmer was then obtained by clicking on and going through a barn (okay, yes, it was really a windmill, but bear with me here). When we talk to him now, he suspiciously asks us what we are "getting up to" (which makes perfect sense to me, BTW, and I'm American (goes back to previous thread)) in the observatory. This leads me to believe that the next clue will either be found in the observatory itself, or in the Astronomy Club HQ. Perhaps the controversial Thief constellation in the window of the observatory will become clickable? After all, it has been theorized that the Thief is next. However, the problem with this being the next clue is that there are only 4 stars in that constellation, and so far all the rest have been composed of 6 stars. Will TNT allow groups of 4 stars to be submitted, or secretly add 2 more stars to the Thief's when the clue becomes accessible?

There is a problem with this theory the order the constellations will go in has been posted twice in previous splits and the theif was defenitly not next.

I believe the Thief has 6 stars....
