Altador Constellations and Plot Math Help Thread

[Jasujo]

If you need help finding a constellation or help with the math to find your spellbook room, feel free to post up to ask advice or to help others here. This will maybe clean up the main plot thread a bit. Thank you.

Star Mapper (thanks DarkFire): http://www.boomspeed.com/zaniam/theSky.html & instructions.
A Constellation Finder: http://hacks.atrus.org/neopets/findConstellations.fcgi

Finding your Spellbook Room
* Take the coordinates of your Sleeper and write them down somewhere.
* Take the SUM of your x-coordinates (Add it as is! If it's negative, subtract).
* After taking the sum, ignore the negative sign if you have it.
* If it is 3 digits or more, take the sum of the digits. If it is 2 digits, LEAVE IT as is. That's your x-coordinate for the room that has the spellbook.
* Repeat for your y-coordinates.

My sum of x coordinates was 4 numbers, which added up to a one diget number. Is the one diget number right?

[unr4veled]

my numbers are
-165,-110
-125,-140
-85,-170
-45,-170
-5,-140
35,-110


which means that the sums are -390 and -840, the sums of the digits of those would be 12,12.... but my books in room 12,12 are normal...

ok. Used the star mapper here: http://hacks.atrus.org/neopets/findConstellations.fcgi so I'm sure my coordinates are right. But I can't get my constellation to light up Is there a special secret this time round I'm missing?

There is no secret, but if you are completely sure your coordinates are correct, then you might be connecting them incorrectly. Reference the image in your clue list (http://images.neopets.com/altador/hall/ ... 0bf67f.gif) to see how they are connected.

Also, in the row of 3 stars that are close together, make sure you have only two lines connecting them that go from the middle to each of the other ones. If you connect the 2 end stars to each other it looks correct but isn't. You might want to also try just clearing all of your stars and redoing it if nothing else works.

Is the room you start in 0,0 or 1,1?

1378,-282

1+3+7+8 = 19
2+8+2 = 12

It seems odd that you got a number not divisible by 3, but I did the math multiple times. I would try room 19,12

That should be fine.

why is it odd that it's not divisible by three?
