Color coding: Neutral Omni Clan Unknown Affilliation

Definitions:

• Shop = a store
• Vendor = an individual in the open selling items
• Machine = a vending machine in a store or in the open
• Missions = a pair of mission terminals, one solo and one team
• Insurance = an insurance scanner and it’s associated reclaim terminal…standalone reclaim terminals are not listed at present
• Bank = bank
• Teaming[low-high,C,O,N] = a good location for finding groups to join where low-high gives the lower and higher levels of people you will find teaming there. C,O,N refers to the primary affiliations you will find there.

Notes:

• Being under the control of the ICC, Bank Terminals are apparently accessable to neutral citizens at all location on Rubi-Ka. Apparently Map and Trade Skill Sales fall into this category as well. This may also be true for Furniture and Nanoclusters. Please report any discrepancies you may find.
• Numbers in parathensis after Insurance scanners (x/x) are the ratio of credits to level for the cost of the scanner. For example 11 to 1 means 11 credits for every level of the player so a level 40 player would be charged (11*40=) 440 for the scan.
• Location latitudes, longitudes are approximate and are for either standing at the entrance to a location or standing in front of a machine (often the Grid Access. terminal). Locations with multiple lat/longs are for multiple entrances (to cities, etc.).

Revision History:

• 09/03/2002 Updated for new Whompa Grid and general reformatting.

[___________Harlequin]

One thing i think should be included right now in any travel guide is that any town with clan NPCs are now hotspots, as clan NPCs will attack you on sight (guessing it doesn't apply for greys, but i did a mission in longest road with a fledgeling neut character and got jumped by a couple of clan NPCs, the same applies for the pass going from stret west bank to athens, the clan NPCs guarding the pass there will attack as long as you are within their level range)

[___________burrowowl]

good point! Boy was I suprised when I last went to Longest Mile. The Council of Truth better get a handle on its underlings before they drive another drove of Neuts into the welcoming hands of Omni-tek.

Poor PR tactics on the part of the Clans.

Request: Could somebody post the comp literacy req for Sentinels? Thanks!

[______________Pilker]

Both Sentinels and Avalon (named Broken Shores) are located on the uppermost tier in the Grid.
The complit req's are 450ish for both.

Soo... not too frequently used. =)

[RoboKa]

Welcome back Harlequin and burrowowl. Pilker, nice to meet you, thanks for the input!
Added city affilliations where I am sure of them, moved suppression gas levels to location name section of entry and added grid entrance values for Sentinels and Avalon. Could use some help verifying info here, but will do the best I can. Hope the colors weren't offensive to anyone.
Does anyone know if city affiliation is the same as county affiliation, that is, if Tir County is Clan, will guards at all locations in Tir County be Clan friendly?

[___________burrowowl]

Nope, guards vary within county borders, though the areas near Galway and Tir are just about 100% as you would expect. Eg. here are a spattering of Neut guards in Harry's (Lush Fields) as well as Omni guards at the Lush Hills resort (Also Lush Fields zone) The guards at the Ferry to Harry's (also Lush Fields) are Omni, but that's to be expected at the entrance to Omni-1.

I've also sighted Omni Guards at the Rhinoman cockpit, but that was several patches ago, and I haven't seen a repeat of that. PS: Neut guards at the cockpit do not come to the aids of Neuts being gridcamped there.

[___________burrowowl]

Don't forget to add the Reet Retreat to the Last Ditch description: really cool building complete with a glass-floored bar above the dancehall.

[____________rollo303]

Oh and there seems to be a very frustrated Clan Sabotuer who spawns in 4 holes. He runs around killing guards while they offer him amnesty. Very amusing to watch untill he spotted me

[RoboKa]

I added the Reet Retreat and Neuter's!

Where is 4 holes is this lunatic sabateur? Is he is Last Ditch?

Also, I haven't checked, but is Eddy still there? I used to kill him when I was a kid...

[______________Pilker]

Let's see.

The ICC headquarters in Andromeda have a general store, Clan aligned for some reason. (I sense a conspiracy) =)

Netrom in SAV is a Nanofreak town, not advisable to enter.. Nor did I spot any terminals there. Still, a pretty place.

The Grid town in 4Holes is named Argentum. (got a nice pool.)
The one south with the Omni-E wompah is named Aurum.

The City of Home was clan aligned last time I checked.

MeetMeDere is officially a neutral town.

Versailles Tower in the Meadows is the home of Galahad, leader of the Knights. Inside, you find some mission terminals (I think) and a few basic stores. Didn't spot his sword though. Not even a replica. =P
Oh, and mind the grumpy Knight guards outside, if you're omni or otherwise unpopular amongst them.

Hmm.. can't see the Poacher's outpost in Varmint there either. However, his place is omni aligned. A few basic shops. To the far east in varmint, haven't got the coords here.

Oh, and the 4Holes rebels are just regular NPC's spawning to get a bit of action.

And Eddie is still ver present. Doesn't sell anything yet though. But he can still tell you where to go in the world.

Hmm.. that's all I remember right now.

[Gene13]

Coords for 10-3 Outpost mission machines: (1250, 2350). Don't go past that pos (into the OP) if you're lvl 50 or lower.

/G13

[RoboKa]

I added a bunch of save costs, grid requirements and location affiliations. Corrected the names of Argentum and Aurum.
I have a discrepancy in the Grid Acces requirement for Clon****...hmmm?
Added Pilker to the official contributers list. Thanks!
Don't think there is anything neutral at poacher's, could be wrong though.
Do you know the coords of Versailles Tower, I'll check out any machines if I can find it.
I, respectfully, disagree about the City of Home. I know it has clan Missions, Insurance, et cetera, but it also has them for neutrals, including at least one store (armor) that I was in. I also clicked on the guard by the east gate and it was unaffiliated as well; simply named "Home Guard." Therefore, I believe this to be a neutral city with clan ties, much like Harry's is a neutral city with omni ties.
So for now, I will leave the City of Home as neutral on the list , but further study may be appropriate and, of course, the topic is open for discussion. Perhaps we should put it to a vote, or at least better define what makes a city Clan, Omni or Neutral. IMO, city affiliation has nothing to do with the affiliation of the stores or machines. The only thing that city affilliation says is whether we are safe from the guards. Obviously this is of little important now, with the amnesty and all, but as the story line changes, so might our safety. Please, add you opinions!
Gene13, what county is 10-3 Outpost in?
Thanks again to everyone, and keep this stuff coming!

[_______________Orage]

Hello, i have the political map of Rubi-Ka and i can see that Wine is a neutral City, i'm trying to go by feet from Tir but it's to difficult ( lvl 29 ). How to go to Wine City without any danger ( or less ) ?

Thx !

[RoboKa]

Editing Borealis and Last Ditch to include the changes from 13.2 patch.

Orage, on the subject of Wine and the Political Map:

• Please note that the materials included in the hard copy release set of AO are not nessicarily up to date.
• The areas marked on the Political maps as neutral are of 2 different type (although there are no clues to this on the map). The large neutral area east of the Stret River and south of the eastern branch of the Upper Stret River (does the river have a different name there?) is marked neutral because no one has control there. For the most part it is mayhem (no suppression gas) and anyone can attack anyone anywhere(can neutrals initiate combat in mayhems zones? Since I don’t PvP I’m not sure.). There are scattered areas that are held by both Omni and the Clans in this area which includes, I believe, Central Artery Valley, Southern Artery Valley, Deep Artery Valley and Balial Forest. The other areas on this map marked neutral (grey) are actually neutral held and protected neutral zones (suppression gas varies, but the are a lot of 100% areas). I don’t have the map in front of me, but I believe these are Borealis and Newland (including Newland City, Newland and Newland Desert.
• The area (city) marked as Wine on this map is named Hollow Mountain if you get there. It is a clan city with clan shops, terminals, et cetera and a well fotified entrance!
• You would get there by zoning into Stret East Bank and running east through Southern Artery Valley and across Balial Forest. It is not accessible from the south. You could also go via Varmit Woods, through the pass into Upper Stret East Bank, east along the river into Central Artery Valley and SE to Balial Forest.
• At level 27 this is going to be real rough!
• Perpetual Wastelands is also a mayhem (no supression gas) area, although I don't recall it being marked as neutral on this map. There is a strong Omni presense there, although Sabulum seems neutral.

Hope that helps!

[RoboKa]

Since I seem to constantly see posts asking for the locations of the Static Story MIssion Buildings, I thought I'd add them here. At least neutrals will know!

[RoboKa]

Added coords for Versailles and removed the question mark!

[______________Ampris]

"?, Galway County [Omni]: Whompa to Omni Entertaimnent. "

The whompa is located at Galway's Castle.

"?, Broken Shores [Omni]: Whompa to Omni Entertainment "

The whompa is located at the Omni military outpost in Broken Shores. It goes to Omni-1 Trade not Omni-1 Entertainment.

[RoboKa]

Thanks Ampris, always good to have a new contributor!

Good news! I don't know how long it has been there, but I finally found (thanks to a great team doing the static dungeons at Sentinels) a neutral outpost in Mort! It is called Hope (less) and is a full service neutral outpost. I am wondering if it was added at the last patch, since it contains the bar where Eleena Oak was found by Joshua in the last episode (4) of the back story.

Happy Hunting...oh...and Happy Holidays too!

[RoboKa]

I had some problems looking things up in my paper copy of this, so I have reorganized it a little.

[RoboKa]

Started adding to locations where guards shoot neutrals (and clan members for that matter) since the 13.6 patch. Only know of one so far since I spent most of last night sorting stuff from my bank into marked bags.
