The Quest To Find Raxxla
- Thread starter Macros Black
- Start date
It's Zeta Cassiopeiae in game. I've been there since the new update, nothing too special.
Here's where you lost me. i know people badly want their efforts in the FRift to not have been in vain, but Raxxla is almost certainly inside the bubble. I was sure it was in the FRift for the longest time, but what we know for sure is that it was accessible in the original beta, and that rules out FRift categorically.
While I totally agree that historically Raxxla being in the bubble makes the most sense, I for one am not concerned with where this riddle is leading me to, or What it's leading me to. I am just following what I see as being the sign posts along the way. We have not yet seen anyone, except for this Alpha Cygni development (which seems super interesting), produce any signs of being on the right track. For us, being in the NGC 7822 nebula specifically being there due to a previous clue (Brow Star, Zeta Cass), and then finding another clue once we got to the next location in our theory, a more solid one, in the form of the Cupids Arrow tourist beacon, was something of substance. It seemed to us to be a sign of being on track.
It was uncanny. We did what we saw as the first step, moved to the 2nd location, read some more of the codex and the sonnets and while I was reading the sonnets I stumbled upon a beacon which had the exact character mentioned in the next sonnet in its actual title and more. That was a strange experience.

Erm... Have you got an actual FD source for the statement that it was accessible in Beta? There’s sources for it being in the Milky Way, but have never seen anything saying it’s actually accessible.

IF the Stella poem contains necessary or even essential clues to find Raxxla, then I don't know how our non English-speakers friends (me included) will do (didn't find any complete translation ).
Or perhaps FD put different "localized" Raxxlas inside the game ? (I wont imagine the worst...)
From this point of view, the Toast may be more consistent. And the Stella poem just to confirm clues.
To be honest, I spent months looking for the mYsTeRy in the Rift, convinced that I was looking for Raxxla. What a disappointment when it turned out to be a very human stranded ship...[haha]
Let's see.. Raxxla should very well be (have been ?) in the Bubble, specially due to that jump range thing and even DW is convinced of it.
Now, that was when J. Ryder was still alive. Since, the way to Raxxla was lost. That way. The short, easy, direct way. Lost or cut or ...obfuscated, just because JR found it.
To keep Raxxla secret, the "Raxxlians" had JR killed and the compromised path wipped out. At least, that's what I would have done if I was in charge. Plug the breach.
In eons, nobody found it again, not even TDW. Perhaps it simply is no longer there.
But, there can be another way to Raxxla. A new one. ED's way, MB's personal journey. And it may very well be more tortuous than the "lost way" and run through Cass, H&S, Cygni, etc... Or wherever, if the way goes through witch-space.
In witch-space , no place is a place and every door is also a key. This can also be linked to the sirens-thing, TDW's sirens and the Log sirens.
What I mean is, one thing is the proper Raxxla, and another thing is the way to Raxxla. Specially the starting point. They could be very distant in normal space as well as very close in witch-space. (Ask Jaques about it). And that is the point. Not so much where Raxxla is, but where the starting point/points is/are. (6 ? 6+2 ?)
Anyway, we all very well know that Raxxla is a mythical stellar body obfuscated in the outer rim which way to is told by the silent song of spheres.
Don't we ?

Whats this about Alpha Cygni?
To go off your door is also a key line of thinking. Perhaps one needs to jump between the correct 2 systems to access it. Further supported by the touching but never touching bit from the poem. Two systems that are connected by which space but they will never actually interact
I'm at Alpha Cygni now. You're right! It starts as a small dot, like a very close system well within just a lightyear or 2. But it's growing, is this a supernova?

The sonnet notes that cupid’s Coat of arms is 3 red discs on a field of silver!
Whatever that means. I keep coming back to Flame nebula, Orion nebula and the Barnard's Loop/Horsehead nebula areas
Is this something like the Lagrange clouds? within the system but a fair way out?
Yes, I also was thinking about this. I don't believe Frontier would hide some content behind poems or sonnets and making it only accessible to a subgroup of players which have a decent knowledge of the English language. I think if Fontier decides that it's time to find Raxxla, the clues will be much simpler and easier to follow...

Much better expressed than I did and with a lot less words.
Glückwünsche, Kaleunt ! [yesnod]
(.. and give a try to the dgcgcd tuning.. so"spacy" !)

Was able to reproduce the strange signal in the system, Star Of India, also in the Cygnus constellation. Chalking this up as Solved as bug.
Did we really ever stop?
