Cool, glad it helped, lol. Yeah, I actually started a new archer and I've only been through Forest of Tides, but that's got more dudes running around. Like in cb1 there were maybe 2 or 3 Mushroom Fighters up there, but now they're swarming the area and the Gang/Bored Imps have popped up in several other spots as well. I just assumed similar changes would happen in the later maps, but I've not really checked.

-EDIT- Despite what I said, I actually ended up adding Luminous Stone 1 and the beginning of Luminous Stone 2 anyway.

Thanks a lot for this, the effort put into it is admirable. I can't imagine the time it took to walk around all those maps, record the monsters you ran into and then upload it all into flash. I don't believe I've walked 25% of any of the maps you've uploaded lol. Hopefully this becomes more comprehensive over time, if you need any assistance I'll be glad to help.

Thanks, it actually isn't all that much trouble to do. A little tedious sometimes and a little dangerous for my character when I do areas above my level. I'm an archer, but I think a cleric, or fighter would be the best type to do this with. I usually map out a section I need to be in already for quests or I work it into a grind session.

I just have Photoshop open and the image loaded then I run through part of an area as carefully as possible making mental notes and killing when necessary. Then find a safe spot to sit a minute, alt-tab to PS make a few marks then get back to it. Just make sure you can hear if you start getting attacked so you can jump back to the game real quick.

Feel free to have a go at the higher level areas. I'm still only level 26 and I'm not playing much lately so I don't know if I'll get much more done for a while.

As for the flash, well I just wanted to learn a little bit about flash for the heck of it and I used these as a learning project. That took me a while because I knew absolutely nothing about it before I started. I'm not sure if I'll continue updating that or not, I still haven't put the Luminous Stones maps in the flash version, maybe though.
