23 Runeword Search Thread

Multiplicity - Theory - Probability

All:

As Zackardo was beginning to say, I'm not so certain that all of our runewords will come from one way to search. Think of it this way: if we assume that there's more than one Blizzard programmer making runewords, then there may not be a connection between ALL of the new runewords, but groups of the runewords COULD be connected. I, for one, might make runewords based on characters from my favorite books (most notably HONOR Harrington (google it)) or from other aspects of life. Or, as we've been trying find, my brother (works for NASA) might make mathematically patterned runewords.

What I'm trying to say is, just because one clue doesn't seem to fit the rest of the clues (which seems to happen often in this thread), that may not invalidate the overall pattern that holds some of the clues together.

I heartily agree - there are most likely multiple individuals and idealologies at work here. Also, just as in science, there are uses for multiple theories, none of which are consistant with all of the evidence.

As for directions of search, I would expect that the runewords consisting of rare runes would be more worth searching, as they would be more likely to be highly useful.

Good luck all!

Cutting the grid off at Io seems like a good idea in terms of grid managability - set a doable goal and work towards it. But, like PsyAdam, I'm all about using any higher ones i find. I really only joined the ladder once i saw this thread going on, so I'll throw everything i find into the grid. So, if fate or the random number generator does send me something massively runic, i'd like to be able to put in knowing for certain that i'm trying something new. Maybe this is a peculiar psychological reason, but perhaps a simple list or something until the number of higher runewords warrants new strips in the grid?
 
Thanks for the upgraded grid and nice going guys.
I forget Blue Streak - are you on USEast? I dropped a bunch of fire res charms to my future bro-in-law, if I'd have known I could have passed some on. I'm up to 77 w/ my sorc and about 1/2 way through act 2. I've never played through hell in LOD - so I've been questing much this week instead of just rune hunting / testing. Whisper me at 'dansls1' in the evening if you are on east and maybe we can hook up.
Oh, and I'm also willing to test higher runes - but it seemed like a good idea to fill out the cheap rune ideas first.

Ok new to this part of the forums but I've been researching runes and testing different things. I've got a mod that allows me to make any rune in the game plus the game thinks it ladder, while it's only single. I can also make any item in the game except for some uniques *ie jewels* but that's not the reason I'm posting. What I'm proposing is you guys throw any possible rune word that's not been tested at me and I'll work through them and see which is which.

Also to test this so as not to waste everyone's, and not to mention my own, time is there a list of known working ladder runewords? This way I can test if the ladder mod is working towards runewords or just the uniques I've been able to make, *IE seraph's hymn*.

Sorry for the slow update, really busy yesterday, and to top it all off, internet connection at home isn't working. Means I won't be starting NM as I thought and at least contributing to the lower helm grid.

Welcome back psyadam, hadn't seen you post in a while, and thanks for the contributions (and thanks for the correction btw). Also thanks to you guys doing the power rune hunting for us slower folk.

Also there was an incident of doctored image runewords that are supposed to be fake (I think the thread was deleted from the respective website). Interestingly enough someone decided to make them follow Kenny's clues they were:
MalCham (Mage Clan)
DolJahDolThul (Dune Beast, Jungle Hunter, Doom Ape, Temple Gaurd)
GulBerMalUm (Gorebelly, Blunderbore, Mauler, Urdar)

Anyway, can't find if they were actually tested to discount the "runewords" or not (I'd like to mark them off).

Finally, I will post up the new armor, helm and 1.07 tables on separate replies. Sorry to spam the thread, but want to limit confusion.

They were fake. One of the words were tested in a pair of boots. Yeah that kind of gave away the veracity of the post.
 
Loca`ne, Just caught your post. The only thing I can think of for you to test are the latest added runewords. These are:

Duress: Sheal Um Thul Body Armor
Prudence: Mal Tir Body Armor
Splendor: Eth Lum Shield
Wind: Sur El Melee Weapon
 
Thanks for the confirmation Capn.

I've been spending a lot of time looking at the WoW history.

33 pages...33 rune words. I doubt it's coincidental.

They mention several things that could be clues.

"Kalimdor: land of eternal starlight" - I remember somewhere someone posted elven language translations for some of the runes, I checked the entire thread but I'm tired and must have missed it. Can we spell that phrase out in runes? It would probably have El and Zod, right? That and "Kaldorei- children of the stars".

"Aman'Thul, the Highfather of the Pantheon" - Amn+Thul If you can't see this you're blind. Suggestions for this? No Idea, but it's 2 fairly low mid runes, try it in EVERYTHING.

"Nozdormu "- It's names like this that are challenging, I figure an anagram of some sort. Um+zod+ort would be the closest one. This is just to show there are many near misses in the following 32 pages. This one is long shot, just mentioning it in case someone sees something I Don't.

" granted the blue dragon, Malygos"- Mal+?

"moon goddess, Elune"- lol, el rune

"Somehow, by the grace of Elune, Malfurion, Tyrande, and Cenarius " - El+Mal+Tir+?

"World Tree the new name Nordrassil, which meant "crown of the heavens" " - I already suggested a word previously, this one might come out in translation however.

"Quel'Thalas" - Don't remember if I already said it but, Ko+El+Thul+Thul, bow/stave/armor would be my guesses.

Now, these are all possible leads from page ONE of the history. I'd really like approval from the rest of the thread posters as to if they would like me to go page by page and post all the obvious leads I see; I don't want to create page long posts that no one reads or counts as spam or that people think interfere with the rune-grid work. Mind you it's 32 more pages where I will only scratch the surface; but you can see there are MANY leads from one page.

Feedback requested please.
 
Where to start? Numerous responses, keyed to original posters:

Psy and Zack:

Click here for my post on the philosophy of testing Io and below, which is by and large a philosophy of feasibility. Shaft's grids for armor and helms extend all the way up to Zod. I suppose I'd be happy to add lines and columns for runes up to Zod for my grids if everyone wants, simply for posterity's sake, but I really do think we are best off focusing on Io and below for multiple item types rather than trying to reach toward Zod (or Mal or whatever) for one specific item type.

Loca'ne:

Good idea, ethics aside, but I don't think it will work for our purposes. I am by no means an expert on the technical side of how the game, battle.net, et cetera, work, but as I understand it, these runes were added in a server-side update not a client-side patch. Whether your machine thinks you're on ladder or not, you need to be on b.net and b.net needs to think you are on ladder for the new runewords to be functional. Further, there are no ladder-only runewords yet discovered with which to test. The four most recent new runewords were not ladder-only.

I am reading through the entire history, it's just taken me a few days. Once I've given it a read-through, looking for contextual rather than linguistic clues, I'm going to dump the entire text in MS Word and do some text searches for all the runes to see if there's anything exact before we go digging for anything that's inexact (Tyr for Tir, Thal for Thul, et cetera). Incidentally, the 33 pages correlate to 33 runes, not to new runewords (of which there are 23). Will post my findings eventually.

You know - maybe it's too simple - but there are 8 races, 9 classes and 6 cities in WOW - that's 23 total. Could there just be a rune word for each somehow?

Hello,

I have decided look for runes in hell cow games. I will be running hell cow games with my level 91 javazon on USWEST.

Any one who wants to join to decrease the no drop percentage of the cows and/or increase the rate of clearing the cow levels is welcome.

Games will follow this naming convention: RunecowX

With password: X

Where X = 1-9

So the first in the series will be Runecow1 with password 1. I will just cycle through the numbers dropping back to 1 when I reach 9.

My account is: *Munster1

Either message me or just try out the game names and see if one is up.
I am in Arizona and play whenever I can, but you will probably see me on in the evening or late at night more often than not.

Good luck to all in the runeword search.

Quite possible. If so, where do we begin to look for item types and recipes?

Sounds great, but my clvl59 paladin isn't quite there yet. Maybe eventually...
 
Now THAT is something...let's see what we can do with that.

Orc is each - Ort/Ohm Ral Cham...I'd say in an axe, for it being an orc. Somebody? Try 1h and 2h respectively.

Human - Hel Um Mal Amn Nef, again very well defined...

Elf or Elves- TOUGH...very tough. Do they have a proper name in their own language? El Fal in a knife? El Vex El/Eth/Eld Sol/Sur in a bow? WAY too many options...:(

Dwarf - Uh-oh. W? Do they have a proper name in their own language? In a hammer...or armour if there's a good proper name. Maybe in a shield, too...

Gnome - Gul Nef Ohm/Ort Mal Eth/El/Eld. Expensive...in...what? Staff would be guess 1.

Tauren - Tal Amn Um Ral El/Eth/Eld Nef, not bad...probably in a club, barb helm, or any helm.

Undead - Um Nef Dol El/Eth/Eld Amn Dol? Maybe Lich, since your characters really are, Lum/Lem Io/Ith/Ist Cham Hel? Most likely in helm or armour.

Trolls/Troll - Tal Ral Ohm/Ort Lem/Lum Lem/Lum Sur/Sol or without...in what though?

These are really long though...there's DEFINITELY something here though, what with Blizzard trying to promote WoW through D2.

We look for item types from the character/area information. Elves use bows, not maces, orcs use axes not scimitars, etc. The recipes are all going to be derived from either name translations or funny tidbits.

Here's some ideas food for thought from page 2 of the history.

Dath'Remar, who had taken the name Sunstrider - "he who walks the day" - No ideas on this one yet

forest trolls of Zul'Aman, The Amani empire= Zod+Gul+Amn In a throwing weapon.

Uldaman, Uldum, Ulduar... these were the names of the ancient Titan cities - dwarven cities. Try axes and hammers. Um+Lem+Dol+Um and other variants.

Kul Tiras- Gul+Tir+Tir or Ko+Gul+Tir+Tir

Medivh, which means "keeper of secrets" - any translational help with that?





What was it about "steppes in hell" or something like that in the quizz game? I found this on chapter 2.

"Ragnaros the Firelord, immortal lord of all fire elementals, had been banished by the Titans when the world was young. Now, freed by Thaurissan's call, Ragnaros erupted into being once again. Ragnaros' apocalyptic rebirth into Azeroth shattered the Redridge Mountains and created a raging volcano at the center of the devastation. The volcano, known as Blackrock Spire, was bordered by the Searing Gorge to the north and the Burning Steppes to the south. "

Is this significant in any way?
