At present it doesn't look like there's any way to change which of the villages you call your home.
+
Prominent '''locations''' on Shartak include several villages, a wrecked ship, many ruins, and countless fruit trees. The island itself, about 67.4 km from east to west and 26.8 km from north to south according to GPS figures, is composed of a wide variety of terrain types.
  
== Native Villages ==
+
== Camps ==
 +
:''Main article: [[Camp]]''
 +
Camps are locations on Shartak that serve as starting and respawning points. They feature specific resource huts for medical supplies, ammunition, and trading.
  
=== [[Dalpok]] ===
+
== Terrains ==
* Location: In the jungle to the west of the mountain.
+
:''Main article: [[Terrain]]''
* GPS coordinates: -70.436,+26.443 (center)
+
The terrain of Shartak is diverse, consisting of types such as jungle, grassland, swamp and beaches. Water features include sea, lakes, rivers and a pool. Each type of terrain affects movement and searches differently.
  
=== [[Raktam]] ===
+
=== Natural landmarks ===
* Location: In the jungle to the east of the mountain.
+
* [[Mountain]]
* GPS coordinates: -70.323,+26.470 (center)
+
* [[Western Islets]]
 +
* [[Southern Islands]]
 +
The terrain of Shartak also contains several unique natural landmarks, such as the huge central mountain. The mountain contains many special areas, including a [[waterfall]], a mountain ledge, and a network of [[cave]]s and [[tunnel]]s.
  
=== [[Wiksik]] ===
+
== Details ==
* Location: In the jungle to the southeast of the mountain.

+
A detail appears as a separate icon over the underlying terrain color. There can only be one detail in any location. For example, if there is a plant or ruins or hut in your current location, then you cannot construct a signpost. Heavy jungle conceals details. If you chop down enough jungle to reveal a fruit plant, hut, or other detail, you receive an XP reward.  
=== [[Durham]] ===
 
* Location: On the southwest edge of the island.
 
* GPS coordinates -70.648,+26.343 (center)
 
 
 
=== [[York]] ===
 
* Location: In the centre of the southern edge of the island.
 
* GPS coordinates: -70.371,+26.314 (center)
 
 
 
=== [[Derby]] ===
 
* Location: On the southeast corner of the island.
 
* GPS coordinates: -70.095,+26.350 (center)
 
 
 
=== [[Shipwreck]] ===
 
* Location: On the north-northwest edge of the island.
 
* GPS coordinates: -70.541,+26.543 (center)
 
 
 
== Terrain Types ==
 
Within the navigation map there are a number of different coloured areas which correspond to the different terrain types.
 
  
In addition you may find other zones or details within the terrain. A common one for those first arriving are those considered part of a village where, for example, a d0 space within the village would be labeled "Dalpok" instead of "Jungle". Others exist as well; for example, bushes and trees in the jungle and there are caves and tunnels in the mountain terrain.

There is sand here, but you cannot build a sand castle. [[Driftwood]] can be found here, and is used for making [[signpost]]s. There are also [[crab]]s here, but unlike [[parrot]]s and [[rat]]s, you cannot murder the crabs for XP.

Jungle is the dominant terrain type in Shartak. Jungle grows thicker naturally over an undetermined amount of time. Density 10 jungle is too thick to pass through easily. Characters without machetes attempt to push through, with a chance of failing (about 20% chance of success?). A character wielding a machete chops the jungle location down to density d9 (with about a 10% chance of earning 1 XP).

All fruit plants have unique icons except berry bushes. Tasty berry bushes and poisonous berry bushes appear identical. A search at a location with a plant is an attempt to search specifically for that sort of fruit or berry, not an attempt to search the surrounding jungle for other items. Either you find a ripe fruit or berry or you do not, but you cannot find a non-fruit where a fruit tree or bush stands.
  
Density 9 jungle is thick vegetation. Density 5-8 jungle provides tree cover. Density 2-4 jungle provides grass cover. Density 1 jungle is weeds. Density 0 is soil. Most [[animals]] on Shartak live in the jungle. Fruit trees and berry bushes are found in the jungle. Chopping the jungle also reveals abandoned huts and ancient ruins.  
+
It is unknown whether different fruit plants have different find rates. It is unknown whether the density of the jungle affects the find rate (some believe that clearing the jungle slightly increases the find rate). Please submit data to [[Search odds condensed]].

Impassable mountain in the middle of Shartak. Seems quite large.  
+
Outsiders see "a bush covered in berries." For natives (or outsiders with Native Knowledge), the bush is revealed as either a tasty berry bush ("a leafy bush covered in berries") where each berry heals 2 HP or a poisonous berry bush ("a thorny bush covered in berries") where each berry inflicts 2 HP damage. This information can also be gleaned by eating a berry. Searching provides a ready source of berries.
  
A waterfall on its south side forms a river leading south - climbing the waterfall takes you to a small ledge of jungle with no apparent features.

Once you have moved onto a Mountain Path square, all adjacent squares become impassable. You have the choice to "Go Up" or "Go Down", either way returns you to a Jungle square (going up puts you on a level Jungle trail that winds around the Mountain). There are believed to be 3 mountain paths, each leading to a different ledge.

Searching at a mango tree provides [[mango]]s, predictably.

The two largest ruins in Shartak are the jail and the temple. These locations initially appeared derelict and unimpressive, but now have multi-space interiors that can be explored and searched. Recent investigations have turned up occasional charms and gems.
Deeper water can be found further out.
 
  
[[Animals|Sharks]], which cannot be seen, attack in deep water. The attacks take 2 HP and leave the player wounded. The wound takes 1 HP per move and can only be healed by a [[Items|first aid kit]] or [[Items|healing herbs]].

* '''Jail complex, a.k.a. Fort Creedy (near Durham)'''<br />Five ruined building entrances are centered at {{GPS|70|666|26|380}}, northwest of [[Durham]]. To reach this complex, travel 30 paces north and 20 paces west from the north side of Durham. This ruin complex contains a one-space jail, a two-space armoury, and a two-space hall. The hall is a good place to find gem stones. You can also find poison darts, daggers, healing herbs, and gold coins here.

This ruin consists of a single entrance containing a two-space interior, and is a good place to find tiger tooth amulets.
  
Ocean water is impassable, and forms the outer boundary of the map.  
+
* '''Stone Tower (Midway Island)'''<br>At {{GPS|70|218|26|336}} on Midway Island in the sea off the south-east coast of the mainland is a ruined small square stone tower.  It has suffered severe water damage and appears to have been abandoned long ago.  The base of the tower is mostly intact, but the top has several gaping holes.  The ruin contains a single one-space lower floor, and a staircase leading to an upper level.

==== Simple ruins ====
  
=== Bush ===

The typical ruins location consists of a single icon with two or three "enter hut" buttons that allow you to visit empty one-space huts. It is rumored that these huts contain nothing of particular value (aside from sanctuary from ferocious jungle animals).

Huts are generally found in Villages. Players can enter or leave a hut for 1 AP. A player inside a hut can no longer see any outside squares. The map shrinks to a 3x3 grid, that only reveals the hut interior and a grey border. The number of players that can fit inside one hut is unknown.
 
 
Huts tend to look the same on the outside, but each one has its own description inside. Upon entering a hut, you may find that it is "empty" or "dishevelled" or quite possibly something else entirely. Certain huts provide specific resources depending on their description.
 
 
Players can carve messages on the outside walls of huts with a tool such as a knife.

Based on the number above and some of my own observations, I reckon that Shartak is ten days travel East-West and about about four days North-South. This is assuming 1 AP per square of movement. At 15 miles/24 km per day that would make Shartak 150 miles by 60 miles or 240 km by 96 km. I've pulled the distance per day out of my head, but it does give an idea of scale.

:So that isn't an accurate guess? :) Measuring the distance from 70E 26S to 71E 26S gives about 100km (62.5 miles). This would mean each block is 0.1km. Distance east-west is 67.4km, north-south is 26.8km (possibly a bit more). Is that any better?

Latest revision as of 03:14, 17 September 2013

Prominent locations on Shartak include several villages, a wrecked ship, many ruins, and countless fruit trees. The island itself, about 67.4 km from east to west and 26.8 km from north to south according to GPS figures, is composed of a wide variety of terrain types.

Camps

Main article: Camp

Camps are locations on Shartak that serve as starting and respawning points. They feature specific resource huts for medical supplies, ammunition, and trading.

Terrains

Main article: Terrain

The terrain of Shartak is diverse, consisting of types such as jungle, grassland, swamp and beaches. Water features include sea, lakes, rivers and a pool. Each type of terrain affects movement and searches differently.

Natural landmarks

The terrain of Shartak also contains several unique natural landmarks, such as the huge central mountain. The mountain contains many special areas, including a waterfall, a mountain ledge, and a network of caves and tunnels.

Details

Sign.gifHut.gifRuins.gif
The in-game icons for signpost, hut, and ruin details.

A detail appears as a separate icon over the underlying terrain color. There can only be one detail in any location. For example, if there is a plant or ruins or hut in your current location, then you cannot construct a signpost. Heavy jungle conceals details. If you chop down enough jungle to reveal a fruit plant, hut, or other detail, you receive an XP reward.


Fruit plants

Appletree.gifMangotree.gifBananatree.gifPumpkinpatch.gifBerrybush.gif
The in-game icons for apple tree, mango tree, banana tree, pumpkin patch and berry bush details.

All fruit plants have unique icons except berry bushes. Tasty berry bushes and poisonous berry bushes appear identical. A search at a location with a plant is an attempt to search specifically for that sort of fruit or berry, not an attempt to search the surrounding jungle for other items. Either you find a ripe fruit or berry or you do not, but you cannot find a non-fruit where a fruit tree or bush stands.

It is unknown whether different fruit plants have different find rates. It is unknown whether the density of the jungle affects the find rate (some believe that clearing the jungle slightly increases the find rate). Please submit data to Search odds condensed.

  • Search cost: 1 AP
    • Approx find rates (55%): fruit/berry (55%)

Berry bushes

Outsiders see "a bush covered in berries." For natives (or outsiders with Native Knowledge), the bush is revealed as either a tasty berry bush ("a leafy bush covered in berries") where each berry heals 2 HP or a poisonous berry bush ("a thorny bush covered in berries") where each berry inflicts 2 HP damage. This information can also be gleaned by eating a berry. Searching provides a ready source of berries.

Huts

Main article: Hut

Huts are buildings that players can enter and leave. Certain huts provide specific items. Santa's grotto is a hut that is not part of a camp.


Ruins

Ruins complexes (one or more buildings with multi-space interiors)

The two largest ruins in Shartak are the jail and the temple. These locations initially appeared derelict and unimpressive, but now have multi-space interiors that can be explored and searched. Recent investigations have turned up occasional charms and gems.

  • Jail complex, a.k.a. Fort Creedy (near Durham)
    Five ruined building entrances are centered at [-70.666,+26.380], northwest of Durham. To reach this complex, travel 30 paces north and 20 paces west from the north side of Durham. This ruin complex contains a one-space jail, a two-space armoury, and a two-space hall. The hall is a good place to find gem stones. You can also find poison darts, daggers, healing herbs, and gold coins here.
  • Temple complex (near Shipwreck)
    At [-70.540,+26.530], 16 paces south and 1 pace east of the shipwreck, are the ruins of a temple populated by monkeys, stalked by elephants, and haunted by spirits. This ruin consists of a single entrance containing a two-space interior, and is a good place to find tiger tooth amulets.
  • Stone Tower (Midway Island)
    At [-70.218,+26.336] on Midway Island in the sea off the south-east coast of the mainland is a ruined small square stone tower. It has suffered severe water damage and appears to have been abandoned long ago. The base of the tower is mostly intact, but the top has several gaping holes. The ruin contains a single one-space lower floor, and a staircase leading to an upper level.

Simple ruins

The typical ruins location consists of a single icon with two or three "enter hut" buttons that allow you to visit empty one-space huts. It is rumored that these huts contain nothing of particular value (aside from sanctuary from ferocious jungle animals).

  • River-west side ruins (bi-hut near the waterfall)
    A two-hut ruin is located at [-70.357,+26.406] on the west bank of the river that runs south from the mountain, north-northeast of York.
  • River-east side ruins (bi-hut near Santa's grotto)
    A two-hut ruin is located at [-70.331,+26.380] fourteen paces east of the river that runs south from the mountain, south of Raktam and north-northeast of York.

  • Durham-York road ruins (tri-hut between Durham/York)
    A three-hut ruin is located at [-70.490,+26.365] north of the road and mid-distance from Durham to York. Known to some as Piketown (after the trader Maximillion Pike) these ruins have been christened New Berlin and are home toThe Germans.
  • Derby ruins (tri-hut near Derby)
    A three-hut ruin is located at [-70.111,+26.378] near Derby on the way to York. As of Bastille Day 2008 this area is known as Port Breton, home of The French.
  • Mountain-north side ruins (tri-hut between Dalpok/Raktam)
    A three-hut ruin is located at [-70.391,+26.480] a few paces north of the mountain between Dalpok and Raktam.
  • Durham ruins (multi-hut near Durham)
    A two-hut ruin is located at [-70.666,+26.354], 11 paces northwest and 7 paces west from Durham's shaman.
