This is in the b64 box, but it
isn't (cool idea, putting the code in the "wrong box"). Looks like decimal as there's no a-f hex digits. This you have to space it
by hand as decimal ascii for the decoder to be able to parse it correctly:

Woo my first puzzle...Easy so far eh?
Not for long... o—½kßyi¾^õ×»õÞý = 4c8dcmq ...Building up the suspense...Watch out for Necromancers... they like to kill other players.....they go wiki after people...those tiny elementalists will be gone in a flash...why did the warrior make a bucket account?...and why base it on the template? He said not to forget /album/w168/....?
4c8dcmq not a tinyurl, but...
http://tinypic.com/4c8dcmq
Guild Wars Specialty Fansite
Necromancers going wiki looks like a clue to use wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guild_wars
An image of the guild characters: Elementalist, Mesmer, Monk, Necromancer, Ranger, Warrior.
From the image, Elementalists are not tiny. Must be a clue to the tinypic.
http://photobucket.com/album/w168/<album name>
The messed up part
encodes from text > b64,
Code: Select all
o—½kßyi¾^õ×»õÞý > b5e9a995ab5e9de79d79
But the b64 turned out to be hex! Decode from hex,
Code: Select all
b5e9a995ab5e9de79d79 > templateneedeQ==
That's in the b64 box, but it's plain text (with a little glitch). No biggie, looks like templateneeded. Must be some GuildWars thing, maybe a clue for the photobucket album? Ok that's all I got so far.
Now the new version is just b64 straight to text:
Easy so far? Well not for long...b5 e9 a9 95 ab 5e 9d e7 9d 79... Necromancers can be quite dangerous and love to kill other players...Especially TINY elementalists even though they go up with a FLASH...he said something about 4c8dcmq....almost as wierd as that warrior he kicked the BUCKET but his final words were, don't forget the /albums/w168/ ....
Notice the changes in the clues, ALLCAPS make them obvious, FLASH is new (not sure how to use it). The hex part converts straight to templateneeded, no tricky "wrong box" this time
Ok so, how to reveal the warrior's album?
