Follow My Build: Dalaran

[limoman]

Day 584 to 590 (18th to 24th February)

The main structure of the Violet Citadel is now complete. The next stage is to do the interior. The old version i built gave you access to the side towers, so visitors could check out the view. I'm not sure if i will add them on the new build. I'll see how the interior layout fits, first. The last couple of days of this week were a little slow; Im quickly running out of sand for sandstone. Ive used my chest stock and have been using all the sand on my plot in build. I needed to clear this anyway, but having to regularly warp from location to location to gather the stuff has still slowed things down.

Day 591 to 597 (25th February to 3rd March)

The Magus Commerce Exchange​

​

The Violet Citadel, is mostly finished now. All that needs doing is the access to the side towers and a new entrance into the sewer system. Going clockwise from the Archmages' tower we come to the Magus Commerce Exchange; a collection of 12 different buildings that cater to the different crafting skills in the world of warcraft game. This week I managed to redo Simply Enchanting and most of The Scribes' Sacellum. I was up late, building bookcases for the new interior. I have plenty of books but have ran out of wood. All my stocks are gone and i havn't set up a tree farm on my new plot, yet. Its a very newbie setback, that a quick trip to Survival will solve, tomorrow.
I think i will do 2 circuits of the city, the first redoing the buildings and the second, adding the trees, streetlamps and the really tall towers you can see in the picture above.

Day 598 to 604 (4th to 10th March)

Thanks to the many Addicts that donated sandstone, this week. Four buildings completed, or should i say re-completed: The Agronomical Apothecary, Cartier & Co. Fine Jewelry, First to Your Aid and Talismanic Textiles.
Its been fun using item frames to decorate, trying to think of objects to best describe each building's use.
It's also been a challege to find ways to power the redstone lamps that i'm using for windows, without having the levers and redstone torches on show.

Ive finished the collection of buildings that make up the rest of the Magus Commerce Exchange: Legendary Leathers, Like Clockwork, All That Glitters Prospecting Co., Forge of Fate and Tanks for Everything.
Working clockwise from these, the next two buildings i managed to do are The Bank of Dalaran and the Barbershop.

Day 612 to 618 (18th to 24th March)

The Sunreaver's Sanctuary​

​

The players of World of Warcraft belong to one of two factions; Horde or Alliance. Each of these factions has their own small area in Dalaran. The Sunreaver's Sanctuary is the Horde area and its this that i have been working on for most of this week. There are about five areas to this, the last being the only one that has a name; the Horde inn called The Filthy Animal.

Monday - One More Glass

Day 702 - 16th June 2013

Hey Addicts, Limoman here.

After recent events, resulting in 3 weeks of my thread disappearing, I had taken a break from Dalaran while things calmed down.

Now I'm back and ready to continue. Instead of digging into my vast picture file and redoing 3 weeks of entries, I'm just going to get on with trying to finish within the 2 Year milestone. Currently I'm at Day 702 which is at the 23 Month stage; not long to go.

Also, instead of doing weekly updates with daily pictures, I'm just going to update as I complete each section. And with that, here is the latest update.

Still in the sewer (I'm used to the smell now), I've completed a small arena area. After finding out that you can fall through fences placed in a grid, I had to come up with an escape system for my visitors.

​

Day 707 - 21st June 2013

​

The last few buildings are now complete in the sewer.

Next on the list is to extend the floating island that the city sits on to accommodate the Violet Citadel rebuild.

​

Day 709 - 23rd June 2013

Thanks to a visit from Maple and MrJ's new Perks, I decided to speed things up by donating and getting the /fly command. No more cobble (or netherack) scaffold for me.



After extending the island I finished the sewer outlet.



Next, I'll be finishing the Dam. I will do the area just left of it, first. I plan to make an open sided tunnel in the cliff face.

 

[limoman]

Day 714 - 28th June 2013

The cliff-face tunnel and Dam are now finished. I decided to dig out an old friend and add him to the Dam.



Next on the agenda will be the waterfall. I've been looking forward to this part of the build for a while now. Instead of having a straight sheet of water coming down, I think ill shape some jutting rocks to break the flow of water up.

 

[limoman]

Day 717 - 1st July 2013

The waterfall is now done.



Next, I think I will return to the city and finish the interior of the Violet Citadel. It will be nice to allow access to the upper reaches of the tall tower, for the views.

Day 723 - 7th July 2013

The second anniversary of the beginning of the build is fast approaching. It's only 9 days away and I'm determined to get this finished before then.

The interior of the Violet Citadel is now complete. You can now access the 3 side towers like you could in my original build.



I'm not sure on what order to them in, but here is the list of remaining jobs.

2 statues, well and surrounding wall in Dalaran.

Towers at corners of the plot.

Fishing village (3/4 small buildings)

Murdockk's house

Interior of Dam (staircase from bottom of Hole)

 

[limoman]

Day 724 - 8th July 2013

The staircase within the Dam is now complete. You can now get out of the Hole if you jump/fall in.

Day 730 - 14th July 2013

Nearly There!​

Dalaran will be finished tomorrow (Monday).

All I need to do is some tidying up, attack all the bare patches of grass with bonemeal and plant and grow a forest of trees.
I'm still waiting on Yennage to do a little pixel art for me and Murdockk to finish his house.

Monday, 15th July will be exactly 2 years since starting and it seems the best time to finish.

My next post will be the special one.

Day 731 - 15th July 2013

I'm sorry it took so long. Later in the week I will do a Showcase thread to highlight the best bits.

Thanks for reading the thread and all the encouragement you have given me during the build.

So, what's next?

Something Brony......... maybe.....
