    Amethysts are good at bottom floor of etceter crag mines, in the back room. One earth ele in there, if you have earth ele, you could summon it and get it to tank the other earth ele for you. I am not sure where garnets are abundant, maybe spectral mines?

    No I'm looking for places outside of mines. Miner is only 45 right now.. getting to the bottom of mines where the gems are are problematic at best. Otherwise I'd just go to Graff Mines..

    You should crowdsource your predictions by posting them and having people confirm/deny the event happened. That way you don't have to personally observe them.

    There's not that much more to do.. just confirm a couple planets and then the rest is just math. :)

    Well I think it's safe to say there really isn't ANY amethyst or garnets in spider caves. I've checked pretty much every zone in Novia (barring Dracvald cause I can never seem to get through the control point without dieing. :p).. I've found 3 zones with sapphires, 4 with rubies and 2 with citrines.. oh and 1 onyx. :p

    Well on another note.. Yellow is on the rise. Will probably be Dec 8 or 9.. which leaves black. This has been going a lot faster than I expected. :)

    And midnight Dec 9th comes to pass with Yellow.. and a most wonderful discovery I was not yet aware of. Last I heard the moondial was not yet synced with the sky.. but it seems that it is now. That is most useful.

    The only planet left to be verified is Black.. which.. if I'm right will be in place at 9am CST.. or 7am PST which is perfect as it'll be right before I have to leave for work. :) That will be Dec 20th I believe.

    Hej @Solazur,
    Thanks again for the teaching ingame yesterday.

    @Bowen Bloodgood if you are around Graff you can go to Drachental.
    You cannot miss the Moondial in the middle of my Henge. It's placed left side of the Bridge, where the Wagons are.

    I recognized the Moondial rotates faster Indoor and the Circles move just around one axis. They seem not to have all their own axis the go around, it's just the vertical one in the middle.
    Outside the Moondial is correct with the Sun and it takes one Hour for one full turn, but all the others just rotates with it and miss to rotate additional around their own axis.
    Dont know how to explain it well, sorry.

    Thanks but fortunately I have a guild mate with a moondial. :) It's now sitting atop my tower.

    Actually the moondial is working as intended. The arcs don't represent the planet's own orbit. Though I don't recall exactly how it's described. Will have to look it up but everything orbits around the same axis.

    Guildmates are often helpfull ;)

    Although they all turn around the middle axis and dont orbit around their own axis it seems to me that the different constellations are caused by the different speeds they have. Or i had too much Ale and Mushrooms :D:p

    @Bowen Bloodgood haven't a screenshot at hand, but yesterday discovered a different night sky with lines and signs and glowing dots etc...

    Is this what you see if you have an astrolabe equipped?
    Why it shows up yesterday???

    I'm unsure as i often have dejavu' s, but maybe i had already seen that night sky several weeks before.

    Curious to get more info and lore related wisdom.

    3:30 CST = 10:30 CET fine !

    You can see that either by equipping an astrolabe or activating a moondial.

    Whey did they skipped '5'? or can it be something in the sky with that period?

    On that I can only speculate that maybe they wanted to spread out potential alignments more. The more common they are the less significant?
