Willow Danube Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Hi, I'm thinking of putting up a shrine somewhere in Mainland. Not looking for a huge one, a 512m will suffice... Does anyone know the highest peak in Mainland and is not a protected land? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drongle McMahon Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Tethys? 350m. Nothing for sale now. Builds, erm, not to my taste. Snowy maountains to the south, Kanin, Cloudmont etc. seem all to be protected or maintenance. They are lower, 200-300m. Henrietta has a peak plot for sale, but it's only 160m. There are spectacular places along the north-west part of the great wall, Fucosa, Lola, Euclida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Danube Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 Thanks Drongle, will check that out when I get back from work. 160m would have around 30 prims to it? I think that would be enough bury sinful past.. hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melodie Darwin Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 The area around Buffalo Run/Silvercreek comes to mind. There are several hills in this area, which is green with a water view. The hill I used to have land on and really liked was Fellin Hill. The area is a bit of a mess and flattened out but its actually fairly steep. You might also look at some of the original sims that have the +/- 40m terraforming to get the height you'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drongle McMahon Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Not 16- sqm, 160m high. I think it was a 512, but I'n not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Biberman Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 The highest point on Mainland is in Campion. Mountain peaks there are >350m. There are some parcels for sale in that region, you can get a 2048 for 80,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drongle McMahon Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Yes. That northern bit of the caldera is higher. There's a big piece in Phasma too, L$ 30,000 for 4400sqm. Only 340m high, but a lot cheaper! Clear views for now. Big megacube floating next door though :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In November or so I bought some lots on that sim for about 0.8L/m each - but sold them shortly after as the cuts were bad and I needed the tier. That was a bit under market for a mountain... But 80,000 is way over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Danube Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 Thanks all of you for the information. I will start exploring them tonight... For as simple as putting up a shrine, I wouldn't need that big of a land and lots of prims. I already am quite happy being a watergirl here in Corsica with my 2048sqm of land. What I meant by Shrine and burying my past sins really is just a place to store my unwanted inventory (and pictures of old boyfriends...TBD) that I will cleverly bury underneath a Shrine (see my sig) that I will also use once in a while to confess my transgression of the TOS which then later I will drop in a kill script to wash away my 'sin'. What would be better than doing it on a highest peak? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marianne McCann Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Ya, Mount Campion is the highest. Best of luck. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pussycat Catnap Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Part of the peak -was- for sale for 15,000L. The 80,000 piece is all that's left now though There's a lot halfway down the hill with sex-graveyard items out. For burying your 'past' though, I'd suggest going for deep water. There are some places where the water is 80m deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, Deep water does sound interesting to me... so what is the lowest point in Mainland below sea level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drongle McMahon Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Pull out the plug and see where the water disappears last? On second thoughts, that would only work if the plug was at the lowest point. So the question is, where is the plug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lake itself is LL-owned, but maybe there is something on the edge of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Danube Posted May 10, 2011 Author Share Posted May 10, 2011 :matte-motes-agape: There is a plug!!?? Amazing... Do you think LL would sell the plug? ETA: I went to all the places you mentioned ... Henrietta does look nice and the one in Phasma... I think there was a bot standing on it (with blingers!) when I was there. The rest of them like you said are LL owned especially the snowy mountain side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread actually caused me to buy part of that peak. I'm about 1m lower than the highest spot now. I could terraform myself up by 1.01m and plant a flag on it... but that would just be silly. And last Thursday another 7000m or so of Campion went up for sale for 0.5m/L (but not the peak), so now I'm suddenly swimming in prims over there... (there's a horse breeder in the sim, so anyone with a ground build lives in lag death). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabid Cheetah Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 This sounds like a cool place, let us know the slurl when it's done. P.S.

Rabid Cheetah Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 cool, where's this deep water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pussycat Catnap Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Somebody just bought the deep water next to my deep water lot... But there's other deep water too. Mine's in Honawan where I'm enjoying my new interest in SL sailing (gotta update my getting started guide because the SL sailing types who'd IM'd me ages ago about it were right - this is one of the best ways to get a new start in Second Life. Sailin, especially within site of the coast - is a great way to explore. So um... more deep water can be found in nearby sims, and across the pennensula in places like Horseshoe, or Torch (but the map looks like somebody just bought the half sim of water that was being sold in small lots in Torch. Wow... that must have been expensive... See also Miller or Crystal and Chief. Maybe Gogebic too (I think that far up is still the same water table). And by this time you might have your map open and be noticing something - all of that is connected. Just look for any water along that whole path of sims. Eventually you hit a few waterfalls, and the water level lowers to 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahKB7 Koskinen Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) So it's been 10½ years since the last post here...lol...ok. Mount Campion is still SL's tallest mountain, it's now exactly 365m tall and the highest peak is exactly here.
