    " Nintendo will provide DRAGON QUEST IX owners at the show with a special downloadable “Orgodemir” map via the game’s cooperative “Tag Mode” feature. "

    :mrgreen:

    poor expo hall enforcers...they're going to be clearing the canvassing DQ9 folks out of the aisleways all day long :P
    and everyone is going to be there forever trying to get the right NOA guy rather than the 3 people standing next to them. hm...

    People with rare maps: I'm Enforcing handheld in the mornings, so if you come find me, give me the map, and help me beat it (:P), I can be in the Handheld Lounge for 6 hours sharing it. That way, it'll be easy for people who want the map to find it, since I won't be going anywhere. Even if I reach my maximum of 3 people, as long as I'm still in canvassing mode, others can find me, right?

    odds are the booth will look like the picture from Comicon, but the room will probably be closer to the Star Wars Cantina from last years PAX (and probably in a similar location)

    I just beat Zoma today, with my 75-ish gladiator; in 7 turns no less!

    I've also got Baramos beat, but that's not a rare one per se.

    I'll be sharing Zoma for sure, I could use any of the other rares (Masayuki or other good leveling maps would be nice but I'd really like a complete rares collection to conquer).

    Oh wow I am super excited for the booth now. Think anyone will recognize me in my Tara outfit from Dragon Quest Monsters II? I'm bringing it to PAX along with my healslime plush and my friends Slime plush.

    Awesome news about the Orgodomir Map!

    I agree that the DQIX booth would be an alright place to meetup before we head to the handheld lounge. We could all get that new map and just dive right in!

    As far as my character goes right now:

    Please add me to the Twitter list!

    I am a lowly low-30s Monk/Minstrel obsessed with fans and with no maps (I've only had the game 2 weeks with limited play time). I'm coming from NYC, so I'll try and hit up the Nintendo store on the 31st and see what's available map-wise to bring out there.

    All this handheld time sounds like a hoot. But this is my boy's big deal and so he is gonna be leading the way. And he's not much of a DQ player. I guess I'm just gonna be his enforcer :D

    So its gonna be roaming canvassing for me, I think

    I'm only like lvl 19 Warrior, and just got my first map, so I've not been able to put much time into the game. Hopefully can catch some of you like leveled folks and team up for a bit.

    Does it end in Fowleye? Cuz I've got a map with that exact name and level that was discovered by ÌΔÌ→Ì! (the second character actually looks like a star, I just couldn't find it to type it). It's at location 58. Could that be the Kawasaki map?

    Awesome. All this time I thought it was just a random map, so I didn't bother to poke around in it. I should be able to beat it this weekend, so I'll have that to pass around, too.

    So that leaves me with:

    Does want...

    My list:

    Masayuki
    Kawasaki
    Zoma lvl 1, 23 (trying for 69+ for the headpiece)
    Psaro lvl 1
    Murdaw lvl 1
    Nimzo lvl 1
    Dhoulmagus lvl 1
    Dragonlord lvl 1, 4, 19
    Mortamor lvl 1
    Estark lvl 1
    Baramos lvl 1, 19
    Steel Void of Evil lvl 99 (grotto boss #12)

    The majority of these were found by other people and then tagged to me at meetups, so credit to them for finding them :3 Just trying to spread the love.

    I'm trying to get at least two copies of each legacy map, one to keep at lvl 1 to pass around and one to lvl up for the gear/maps. Also have plenty of other random maps if there are any grotto bosses or map types anyone is looking for.

    Oh, almost forgot.
    MC: Sage/Glad/Arma 99.0 any other classes that might be good to level up for multiplayer?

    I think I was in the late 20's when I beat that grotto (team levls 28 - 30) and was using Gladiator with sword (main), Mage with wand, Martial Artist with fan, and Priest with spear. It took me around 3 tries before I learned the boss's attack pattern before I was able to beat him.

    And yeah, this sounds cool, I only have a handful of maps, none legendary or promotional, but willing to trade and collect all the same! Twitter @journies_end

    Yesssss finally done with Zoma forever! (or until I decide to 99 him)
    Got the headpiece, got way too many silver orbs, got him to level 69 and ready to pass around! (dunno if anyone actually wants it, but hey who knows)

    Next goal, Nimzo to level 69 for the V gear and Estark/Dhoulmagus for the IV gear.

    Does anyone else have any higher levels Legacy bosses? Perhaps we can co-ordinate something so that we can help each other out 8D

    finally beat equinox in the first treasure map.
    he gave me 'Basalt Mine of Glee (Lv. 4)', which had 3 levels and...Equinox as the boss.
    Completing that one got 'Graphite Cave of Dolour (Lv. 4)', which is 4 levels with Nemean as the boss.

    Current party makeup is 28 minstrel, 28 priest, 29 martial artist, 28 mage...who got chomped up pretty easily by Nemean, but can lay the smack down on Equinox.

    If I go back and defeat a treasure map a 2nd time, will I get a different map drop, or do you only get 1 map drop per?

    You can go back as many times as you like, and get a different map every time. The map you get is influenced by two main things: the level of the grotto you just did (like, lv4 for your grottos) and the level of your main character. Revocation also effects it, but you won't run into for quite some time and shouldn't worry about it. Basically, the higher the combined number from both levels, the more difficult (within some random bounds) the grotto you get will be.

    So I finally got my first map from Christopher Collapsus (I love the puns in this game) and managed to beat Equinox. I assume, from what I'm reading, that everyone has the same first map, right? So the only unique ones you get are the ones you get from other sources (e.g., the one I got for beating Equinox)? And I have to beat those before I can share them, right?

    I'll be there. My character is named Hugo and is a level 50 Minstrel. No revocs, nothing special. I have the Gamestop Zoma map, but haven't beaten it yet, as I'm only level 50! I'll just be passing out my crummy maps that have nothing special.
