Flash Interactive Dereth Map
Many people asked for a full map of Dereth showing dungeons. I hardly succeed to build a Flash map (i am a newbie in Flash). Almost all dungeons with a map may be clicked. Some dosent appear on the map because its gem portalling or random coords. Its a beta map. It can be upgraded by many ways... If someone want to help with the Flash programming, send me an email.

ACMaps new Policy
ACMaps maps can ONLY be used in Quest walkthroughs on your website. Any other way to use our maps is not allowed, unless specific agreements from me. Reasons for this are: 1- some websites are using our materials without any regards of the ACMaps cartographers who spend crazy amount of their spare time to provide maps to fellow players and for free. Some sites even copy/paste the whole site without any changes! Those sites tries to increase their traffic with our hard work. If they want their users to have access to our maps, they just need to put a link to ACMaps. 2- if maps are not linked to us, then updates are not done. Which is detrimental for maps reliability and ACMaps notoriety. Should you have any questions, plz ask.

AC Mappy is a decal plugin displaying ACMaps dungeon maps ingame. No need to switch between windows and AC, or print maps on paper anymore. For now, only a few maps are available on this specific format, but Mike from AC Mappy should add more later.
