Huh, I guess the folks living on Tyrian continent weren't very creative while thinking a name for it.

Well with all the gods living on the Tyrian continent, maybe they had Middle-Kingdom complex

like the other dude said, maybe one is in augury rock, ya know that 3 stones with glyphs on them that u gotta step on after gaining the divine fire? the BLACK platform that they're on may be a bloodstone? it sure looks like it but perhaps ANet just decided not to put on the hex thingy for it as theres no point...maybe someone should check around and look for platforms that are black and roughly round...even if they dont give you the res hex.

Can't believe you guys are serious about finding more bloodstones. While you're at it, go find Gwen. . . .

Avarre · Jul 16, 2006, 10:02 AM // 10:02

It's not about finding them, it's about pinpointing their location based on environmental effects.

anyone ever look at serenity temple? The circle in the middle has some strange markings on it. Could it be a "burnt out" bloodstone?

Well, our IRL world hasnt been that creative either, I mean "Earth" - even Terra means Earth. Unless some other of our IRL languages has another name for it. Most I know & checked, has diffrent spelling but the same meaning.

And there is frequent among nations (especially Empires) claiming they and their borders are the world (or known world), despite what other nations think and know.

Considering that King Doric dynasty guarded these stones, its fair to assume its within King Dorrics dynastys grasp - and not outside its borders.

Anyone taken a close look at anvil rock? Sure looks like a blood stone to me

Or even an active one. Like in Augury Rock, it makes sense not to worry about having the effect when you aren't going to have people being resurrected anyway. Come to think of it, isn't the Perdition Rock lobby on the keystone, and you don't have the effect there - only when you're standing on a bloodstone during a mission.

Avarre · Jul 17, 2006, 07:04 AM // 07:04

Of the one bloodstone and one keystone that are accessible and well known, both have a clear effect on the land around them. Keystone holds the door, Aggression is surrounded by a forest that came alive and attacks everyone. So the Bloodstone of Destruction I estimated to be in northern Charr territory, where the Titans are sourced. They are basically the embodiment of destruction, and are worshipped by the Charr in the north. They are also the likely cause of the resurgent Charr assaults before they were stopped at Orr.

Therefore I don't think the destruction stone is in Ascalonian lands simply because destruction came there from the north.

As for the other two... Preservation seems to be in the Shiverpeaks (ice is preserving), and Denial in the desert (assuming an even spread across Tyria). Anvil rock is possible but bears none of the effects... I would suspect it to be buried deep in the mountain under snow and ice by the point of the game. If anyone controls the land it's in, most likely it is the Stone Summit that control the least hospitable areas.

No real clue of Denial, Augury rock is an idea but there's no evidence besides the importance of the Mesa. It could be at the top of the Mesa, or deep in the uncharted areas for all we know.

The bloodstone in the southern shiverpeaks is in the Ice Caves of sorrow mission, you run right past it while you rescue Evennia...

I guess none of you pay attention during missions :P

Yes, the Shiverpeaks bloodstone is at the end of the Ice Caves of Sorrow mission. It's right near where Evennia and Saidra are imprisoned, but most people don't hang around for very long because of the large numbers of Mursaat patrolling the area (and you aren't infused yet).

However, if you look on your map, it is easy to see a dark, roughly round stone in that area, separated from the rest of the rock by a broken circle of chasms. That is obviously the Bloodstone.

Mesmer in Need · Jul 18, 2006, 04:54 PM // 16:54

Ok so heres where we stand:
we know there are bloodstones
1.Ice caves of sorrow
2.bloodstone fen
3.hells precipice (spelling)
so all we need now is to find the rest.
I suggest a search. If anyone wants to help me, just pm me ingame.

Rathcail · Jul 18, 2006, 06:31 PM // 18:31

Frankly, it doesn't look like a bloodstone to me.

Warcheif_Jonval · Jul 19, 2006, 06:32 AM // 06:32

It certainly doesnt look it, but it seems like a likely place to be there. Since the mursaat are gonna kill evennia there. Them and their Bloodstone crazy selves.

They sit on top of the keystone in RoF, Dealessio found the mursaat in the jungle. Probobly by the keystone there (seeing as the Mantle use it for sacrificing the Chosen) and if Avarre is right, the last one is in the Charr lands, once again connecting the mursaat (if not indirectly) to another Bloodstone.

Too bad we whiped the Mursaat out. This could have turned into a nice story arc.

EDIT: spelling/punctuation

Nessaja · Jul 19, 2006, 12:54 PM // 12:54

the bloodstone in the ice caves is close to evennia, it's in that huge area in the middle.
