Love love love the new DNA spots

They look similar to the gateways to parties but narrower and of course there's that dev sense of humor in the messages when you find em...so cool I found my first on "The Entrance" and my second on Level 1 East up high....have at it guys.  I've no clue where they exist (if they are only in the caverns) but it's great fun trying to find them!!!! Best of luck to everyone.  Well done dev team!!!

Okay if it's a help I found my third on Arjun Plunge and one of my friends just found one in Bortola..so they are everywhere!   Edited to add: this "quest" just appears like the one for fireflies as a spot on a street and that starts you out on the quest to find the next 10...a message with each one and pts too!  Great fun, enjoy! (And you hear a strange sound when you enter the street where your next one is..kinda like a whoooing..like someone was sort of clanging a gong type bell softly but not quite, maybe someone else has a better way to describe the sound but it's definitely there..so turn on the SOUND peeps so you don't miss one) (4th one was in Alakol)

  • DNA spots?!?!
    Posted 13 months ago by ✦ SHI∇IΔΠ ✦ Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I just checked an area that one of my friends said he found one, but I didn't.  I wonder if the DNA spots will be like the ghosts and not all areas will spawn for everyone.  BTW He found one in Smallend High.

  • I found one too.  They look like little sparks of light. Mine was in Arjun Plunge.  I was so excited! LOL

  • There's a little hum sound effect when you're on a street with a DNA spot... might be hard to hear with the music on (mine's off, so I couldn't say), which is a nice way to avoid having to run through or eyeball the whole street.

    So far for me: Level 1 E (Mab), Smallend High (Spriggan), Hechey Track (Pot), Dhab Habit (Friendly), Balkao Blvd (Zille), Nilpsama (Cosma), Lemmen Connect (Tii), Afar Whence (Humbaba), Osechi Oath (Grendaline), Adanac (Alph), Firdaus Finds (Lem). All done! :D

  • I love how, despite all the asking, nobody has actually said what they are, lol.

  • Found one in Level 2 East.
    Posted 13 months ago by Pixley Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Xepherys I would say go look for yourself! I suspect nobody wants to spoil it too much. But it's like the ghost quest (certain number of random hotspots to find all over the world), except they're easier to spot. Not an actual quest, and there's no items or anything.

  • What do they DO is the main question I think those who haven't found one would ask :P So, do tell!

    they are probably trying not to post spoilers

    I'd like to know how many

  • True, true xP I'd say message me in-game but I'm working on a major project. Of course it needs to be completed NOW as they release new content. My life is so good at scheduling these things for me :P Anyway, I look forward to seeing these DNA  spots!
    Posted 13 months ago by Liza Throttlebottom Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I don't think anyone's found all of theirs yet, so the ultimate "what do they do" can't be answered. Individually, you get a little text across the screen and the random kindness rainbow.

    Irenic, there are 11 for each person.

  • ATTENTION: SPOILERS  BELOW!

    Apparently, like the ghost hunt quest, not all DNA will spawn in all areas for all Glitchen. 

    The quest will not activate for you until you reach at least Level 5.

    If you enter a street with a DNA spot, you will hear a humming sound. The actual DNA spot looks roughly like a smoky bluish-white flame. Click on it, jump through it, use your enter key: just interact with it.

    The favor reward you receive from interacting with the DNA spot may be from a different Giant than who someone else gets in the same spot, or you may not have a DNA spot in the same area as someone else did. 

    If someone gets to a DNA spot before you do, it may not be available for you to click even if you hear the humming noise. Just go out and back into that street to see if it will respawn for you. (If you did not hear a hum, don't wait for a respawn, as it apparently won't spawn for you on that street.)

    According to Live Help: If you experience a buggy DNA patch that won't let you select it (as some did in Dhab Habit in Salatu), this will not prevent other DNA spots from spawning for you. You will continue to find DNA spots until you find all eleven, so one buggy spot will not ruin your quest. If it takes a while, that is by design. The quest is not supposed to be finished in a single day (though many have managed to accomplish this).

    As far as I know, the ultimate reward for completing the quest (besides personal satisfaction) includes a lovely badge.

    PROTIPS: You will find Spinach very handy. Play with sound on. Use Eyeballery / camera panning to scan the street if you are hearing-impaired or unable to play with sound on.

  • Got another few pics: 

    I took these at The Drop in llemenskie and quickly formatted them.  Too bad they turned out so small.

    Posted 13 months ago by MG Botia Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Also, has anyone found two or more DNA sites in the same region yet?

    Yup, had 2 next door to each other

    DNA apparently doesn't show up if I use Eyeballery skills. Anyone having better luck?

    I have -  whenever i heard the noise (3x), I was able to locate them with Eyeballery

    Is there any other hint for hearing impaired players that we're near a DNA?

    I don't think so.  

    The noise is rather unpleasant to my overly sensitive & slightly impaired ears
    Posted 13 months ago by shhexy corin Subscriber! | Permalink
  • It's not quite like the ghosts. There was one just now where another player and I could both see the shard, and I got it. My whooing noise stopped but hers continued and she is still looking for another shard. Anyone got further insights?

  • What is the trick to getting the one in Dhab Habit?! It won't let me or another player enter key or mouse click it and it is in mid-air.

    UPDATE: Dev believes this one is buggy for some folks.

  • You can get two DNA in the same area. I got DNA in two adjacent rooms in Ilmenskie Caverns, Level 1 East and Level 2 East.

  • What is the sound? is it qualified as effects or music? I am nearly deaf lol. Which one to turn up to hear it? Which to turn off? i accidentally ran into one when clicking a signpost in level 1 west. I never saw it. but it loaded by the time i got to the next location. i was really confused at the time lol

    I remember being creeped out by the noise at first. I wonder if it'd be possible to sample it for the wiki.
