SPOILER The Hive Web Holds Secrets

I’ve often looked at the map and wondered if anything could be hiding up in those strands of web around The Hive, but really, I just don’t usually venture onto places like that. Oh, I’ve been on those webs a few times, but this past weekend? This past weekend was different. I climbed all over the webs that I could get to. I noticed some things that were a little different, from web to web. Some of the webs had darker blocks in them. Could it be that there was something different about those webs? I decided to find out. I spent several hours going up and down webs, looking all over, being careful to not fall. And there it was! A path. A path that winds in and out of The Hive mountains. A path guarded with mobs that I don’t remember ever seeing before.

This log of our trek is rather long, so I’ve made it available in two ways. You may read of it, below, in the Spoiler, if you wish. Better yet, may read of it and view the pictures that I recorded for you. There are sixty-nine images in the log, (it was a long trek), way more images than our forum allows for.

Follow me as you will, and I will show you something very interesting.

Spoiler: A narrative of our journey

1. Yansur. This is where our adventure begins, but you must look outward, towards the web.
2. Look outwards, towards the web. I'm willing to bet that many of you have walked along these threads. This image was taken with the gamma turned up. Do you see that slightly darker piece of the web? Maybe we should remember it, for later.
3. Look again. This image was taken with the gamma set at "Moody".
4. Walk to the end of this strand, and there is no where else to go. That translucent blue line is just my map marker for where Yansur is. It's all pretty dark and it's not very easy to make anything out.
5. Take a walk back and take a good look around in Moody lighting. Can you make out anything interesting? From here on out, most of our images will be taken with an enhanced gamma correction. Most, but not all. Sometime, we want to see just how dark things are.
6. Does this thread look like a promising way to go? Maybe, and maybe not. So, let's look in another direction, first, shall we?
7. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea, after all. Let's try the other piece of web and see if that leads us any place more promising.
8. This is interesting, but we wouldn't want to step down there, would we? After all, we are rather high up.
9. Oh? What is this? Another darker than usual piece of web? Should we follow it?
10. What is that, that I see, up ahead? It looks like it might be a cave!
11. And we're still on a web with dark bits and pieces.
12. It is a cave!
13. An empty cave. Nothing to see here.
14. OK, let's go back and see if we can find another path.
15. We do, but this path has lead us down.
16. We aren't getting lost, but we are doing a lot of exploring on these webs.
17. Oh
18. my,
19. this
20. is
21. cute. Some of these paths are a giant circle.
22. But this one leads us to something else, altogether.
23. A cave?
24. A moody cave, where everything is almost invisible. Let's explore it, too, because, you never know
25. If it's a dead end,
26. or if it has an exit!
27. Another strand of web. So, we follow it, because it has some dark pieces of web in it, too.
28. But this is just another one of those mountainous areas that ends in mid-air.
29. Back we go, and let's see if we can follow a different path, one that goes up the web. One that has more of those darker pieces. Up we walk, looking down so that we don't fall. We stop every now and then, to look ahead.
30. There! Ahead! Another section of wall cave!
31. In moody lighting.
32. In we go. There's nothing to be afraid of. After all, we haven't met any mobs this high up on these webs, have we?
33. And we still haven't, but don't run! That looks like a nasty drop, for careless.
34. Turn left, everyone.
35. And we shall follow this strand of the web. Especially as there is another cave, up ahead.
36. There is some ground lighting in here, so we can turn our gamma down, again.
37. But let’s not be too hasty, shall we? We never know what we might miss, do we?
38. As we wind our way through this cave, we ask ourselves, “Where will this come out?”
39. That’s the wrong question. The better question is, "Is that really a Lv 110 mob?!"
40. Yes.
41. Yes it is.
42. And it is hostile. And it teleports itself. And it calls itself "Eclectic Sentry". What? Oh, you thought it would call itself some wrestler's name? How silly of you.
43. OK, it's dead. You can come out of hiding, now. If it's a sentry, doesn't that mean that it must be guarding something?
44. Wait, I didn't say that it was all safe, did I?
45. It’s not. Here's another one. And a good view of its barrage of quite deadly projectiles.
46. Well, let's go around both sides of this path and see if there is anything interesting that
47. was being protected by that Eclectic Sentry. Oh, look! It's a
48. loot chest! Alas, it was only a Level 1 loot chest, but it was a loot chest, nonetheless.
49. So, shall we continue on our journey? I'm glad that wish to keep going. You never know what we may find.
50. Wait! Not so fast! I warned you that it may not be safe to just run ahead without looking where we were going. We've met another Eclectic Sentry, and it's hit me. Once. Being a mage, and not strongly armored, I seem to have taken almost 3000 HP damage.
51. Sending a meteor attack, several actually, seems to do in our attacker.
52. Give me just a moment to heal us, then we proceed to follow the path, again.
53. It is quite a bit dark in here, don't you think?
54. It’s almost as if we aren't supposed to be able to very well see where we are going. Do you agree?
55. But then again, maybe the low lighting will work to our advantage, as we can see the next Eclectic Sentry well before we have to confront it. That is, if you are still game to follow me through here. You are? Very good. Let's proceed.
56. How interesting. Even though we attacked first, I seem to still have been hit by one of its blasts.
57. Well, let's not dilly-dally. You never know when another one of those sentries may appear.
58. We
59. seem
60. to have reached a rather interesting piece of the web.
61. Look over there, to our right. Isn't that another loot chest? And doesn't it seem to have a large number of sprites dancing around it? Ah well. It was only a Loot III chest. And one that hasn't been visited very often. Let's see here, some emeralds, and 7 items. Oh, let's keep the suspense, shall we?
62. This strand, like so many others, seems to have no easy way up for us, so we shall leave it be.
63. We follow the lower strand, and we come to
64. a dead end. There is no place left to go, but, don't you find this interesting? It is the only place in the entire web that we have seen that ends without small spider webbing. And it's just a 2x2 square of web.
65. So, we get up close to the wall, and look to see if there are any mobs hiding in there. Alas, it truly is a dead end. However, what the future holds, I, at least, do not know.
66. Going back, we must be very careful of our steps.
67. We wouldn't want to make a mistake, and step off of the web on our way down.
68. Yansur, do you know about the upper trail and caves? He's not telling.
69. Qira, I wonder, did you have something to do with those high webs and cave sentries? Did you leave that path on purpose, for someone to find their way up to the tops of your domain? I wonder what the future will hold, but I cannot see into it.

We have returned, and our journey is at an end. The trail has been followed and it is now up to you, fellow Wynncraftians, to follow in my footsteps, and see what you can find.

 

I found a person named Qira, seems legit.

 

@SPYROHAWK you might like this

 

This is what makes wynncraft so good. The amount of details in the environment makes you want to explore all of it.

 

Of course it's 69 steps. OF COURSE!

 

You do realize that I may be the first regular Wynncrafter to find my way up there, don't you? And no, Qira is not here. At least, as of now.

 

I was trying to be funny and sarcastic and i do congratulate you on your findings, i hope you didn't take offense to my comment. I was also referring to Qira being in the Hive itself, not relative to the webs.

 

Of course I realized it. No offense taken.

 

What minimap is that?

 

That's probably VoxelMap or something.

 

@Selvut283
Oh baby oh baby

 

but i'm the Hive theorist ;-:

#RememberTheOryx

 

Rather quick of you. I had wondered...

 

not anymore. *crumples old Oryx and throws it in trash*

 

Why must you include this in all your posts? View attachment 61319

 

Really, really off topic here. But what minimap client is that and how do I get it.

 

It's Voxelmap, running on LiteLoader.

@SageBuilds calls @Selvut283 . Hmmm, does this mean that Selvut built this place? One wonders how long he has been waiting for someone to finally find it.

 

@FishWaffle
Very Interesting... I wonder if it has anything to do with the Gale Mystery and the tomb...

 

Hmmm. Interesting.

 

Do you want to hear something even more interesting? I mentioned to @Selvut283, about a week ago, that I had tried to climb those threads, but that I couldn't find a way past about the second or so strand. I asked him if he knew if there was anything else up there. You know what his only response to me was? "Look harder." He wouldn't say anything else. This past weekend was the first time that I really stopped to look at what was there, then I turned up the gamma correction. The rest, as they say, is history.

That end-web square looks weird where it is, it's so unlike the other web threads. I'm going to keep an eye out on the whole place, especially whenever a map push happens.
