It is nice to know where all that information is at any given moment, but maybe it can be summed up / cleaned up to take up less room.

What I was suggesting was just leave it as is in an older thread. Remove all the unneeded bits in the current thread and leave a link saying "For information on parts of the plot no longer available, click here"
er.. maybe u can jus break it into sections, and link the addresses here, so tat other ppl have a easier time finding their way thru? get wad i mean?
I believe the perfect place for the old information is on
PPT's Lost Desert Plot Solutions Page. As of now, all that page does is link to the different splits on the forum. If most of the "catch up" information was moved to that page, and linked to from the first post, the first post could be used to provide more details on what is happening now. (ie. the new rooms and staircases, what has been tried with the crystal, patterns tried in reading scrolls, etc.) Hopefully, that would cut down on repetition of the same theories and questions and allow us to try to come up with the things we haven't yet tried.
A summary of what we know so far:
You can only get one crystal (if it is stolen or discarded, the Chef / Foreman will replace it);
You have to have been covered in scarabs to get the correct message from the Chef / Foreman in order to get the vial from the gift shop;
Arrangements of scrolls on racks are individualized - different for everyone;
There are 7 colors of scrolls and they do not correspond with colors in the temple. There are 5 sizes of scrolls. There are 12 symbols on the scrolls that correspond wtih the 12 symbols seen throughout the plot. This gives us a total of 420 different scrolls in the repository.
Reading a scroll inside the repository gives you what appears to be a random message followed by, "Your pet reads the scroll and hopefully learns something!"
The maps inside the repository have changed since the scrolls were added. A nice, concise summary:

I have found new staircases on all floors but the basement.
Floor 1: R:19 C:43
Floor 2: R:14 C: 25
Floor 2: R:16 C:27
Floor 3: R:13 C:21
Floor 3: R:19 C 21
Floor 4: R: 7 C:19
Floor 4: R: 12 C:19
Floor 5: Hidden stairs (looks like a normal grey square): R: 7 C: 8
The one on floor 5 goes down to F4 R7 C19. Now you can reach F4 R12 C19 and go down to F3 R13 C21. You can go to F3 R19 C21 and reach the normal staircase on the left of the 8 scrolls in the middle of the second level.
I havent found a way to reach the hidden stairs on the first and second floors.
To date, the entire basement and first floor have been searched for another "hidden" stair, similar to what is found on the 5th floor, with no results. Searches of the upper floors are underway.
Theories / patterns tested with scrolls:
Reading scrolls with the same symbol as the faerie statue in the order of the colors of the Lenny Conundrum does nothing. (This pattern disregards scroll size.)
Reading scrolls of all different colors and symbols (84 total), does nothing. (This pattern also disregards scroll size.)
Reading scrolls in the order of symbols on your Mysterious Tablet does nothing. (This pattern disregards color and size.)
Some are attempting to read all 420 different scrolls. Most report difficulty in finding a few scrolls.
For the crystal:
Speaking the prophecy to the statue while carrying the crystal does nothing.
Mixing the Useless Cystal and a Handful of Sand at the cooking pot does nothing.
You can't put it in your shop, auction it, trade it or donate it. You can put it in your SDB or gallery. It can't be equipped for use in the battledome.
Taking it to the repair shop, the ice crystal shop, the glaciers in Brightvale, the volcano, or the snowager, all do nothing.
I'm sure I'm missing something, but at least that's a lot of it in one place.
