There are two types of moonstones,
the Trammel Moonstone and the Felucca Moonstone. Felucca Moonstones
can be found in the Trammel lands, like the Trammel Moonstones
are found in the Felucca lands. Each area is named after the
two moons of Britannia, Felucca and Trammel. Felucca is the
"old" lands and is considered to be the enhanced PvP area.
Trammel is the "new", consent only PvP, area. Both Trammel
and Felucca have the T2A lands and dungeons. You can tell
on which side you are by looking at the terrain. The Felucca
lands will have a devastated
winter-like look, the Trammel lands will have a fresh
spring-like look.
Moonstones can be found on the bodies of Bone Magi, Daemons,
Dragons, Drakes, Gazers, Headlesses, Liches, Lich Lords,
Lizardmen, Mummies, Ogres, Orcs, Orc Mages, Ratmen, Skeletal
Knights, Terathan Avengers and Zombies. (And probably
some more, yet unreported, monsters)
Initially a Moonstone has a grey color, but once clicked
it says "The stone's substance shifts as you examine it."
and then assumes a color that corresponds with the phase
of the moon it is related to. As the phase of the moon changes,
so will the color of the stone if you click on it. In moonphase
order these are;
|
Full Moon |
|
Waning Gibbous |
|
Last Quarter |
|
Waning Crescent |
|
New Moon |
|
Waxing Crescent |
|
First Quarter |
|
Waxing Gibbous |
Of course a spyglass was used to see in what phase the moons
were.
To use a Moonstone it has to be inside your backpack and
you cannot be inside a guarded area. When you double click
the moonstone it will be placed on the ground (by you) and
after 30 seconds it will sink into the ground, thus creating
a colored moongate. If the location on the other side is
blocked then the Moonstone will be placed back into your
backpack. You may not "plant" a Moonstone while
mounted.
Once the gate is open you, and anyone in your Party,
can step through the moongate to get to the other lands.
The moongate remains open about as long as a moongate created
by a mage would. A Trammel Moonstone will lead to the Trammel
lands when used, a Felucca Moonstone will lead to the Felucca
lands.
