Re: The Longest Journey ... IS HERE!! Download it now!!
I'm aware of the stair-warp bug. But updating a four year old quest seems silly; to be honest, I had doubts anyone would find the warps before going straight to Level 4. I've eliminated such silly thinking in my subsequent quests.
The Blue Ring requires the Raft, which I've outlined how to get earlier in this thread.
The Blue Ring is in a secret dungeon on the top row of screens. http://zcf.dyndns.org/forum/showthread.php?t=31&page=1 (I hope it is ok to link another ZC forum here? If not, someone tell me, please) has a TLJ thread with oodles of overworld map screenshots. Those should help you.
Good luck and happy hunting :)

Great quest pLeitorian! I previously played AoL and enjoyed that too. I am stuck here in Longest Journey, though and hope you can help. I have seen the previous questions and I assume my mistakes are simple but I hope you will bear with me.
1. I cannot locate the entrance to level 7. I assume it is in the cave which lies 1 screen south and 3 screens west of the cemetary where the level 3 sword and blue ring are but I cannot access it. I cannot get into the screen immediatly east of that cave.
2. I cannot get to the 9 screens in the north west corner of the 1st overworld (as well as the 1 screen west of level 9. Are these screens part of the game?
3. I cannot find the first wallet. I saw an earlier response of yours stating it is in the western cemetary. I searched the cemetary where the level 2 sword was and came up empty. I even found an area behind where the sword was, that sells the blue ring for 150r, but no wallet.
4. I am still using a level 1 boomerang (very annoying) did I miss level 2 boomerang?
5. Could you provide a list of all items that can be found in this quest? should I be looking for levels 2 & 3 boomerangs, hammer, hookshot, level 3 arrow, level 2 candle, cross, level 2 bracelet and magic key? I assume, from what I have seen in the game and in this thread that I will come across the two wallets, silver arrow, wand (which I found but I do not have the wallets to buy), red ring, lens and 24 hearts (I have 19, need levels 7 & 8 and three more form the field).
I appreciate your help and look forward to playing nth quest after I finish longest journey.

1. Level 7 is where you have stated. You get there via a minidungeon which is shaped kind of like a 2-legged table (it goes up, turns right, then goes down again). This dungeon entrance is in one of the cliff faces in the desert, I believe one screen west of the Level 7 entrance; it comes out one screen east of Level 7 (which you may have noticed you cannot get to directly).
2. The 9 screens in the NW corner are Death Mountain. Did you try anything at the dead-end that looks like nothing at all happens? There is a trick to accessing it. However, without the Triforce, it's not going to matter yet. Anyway short answer: you cannot walk there DIRECTLY, you have to take... tunnels :)
3. The first wallet is in the Second Overworld. In the SW corner of the First Overworld, you have to solve that huge 7x8 cave, then when you emerge, go two screens right, push a block by the Digdoggers (big guys you blow the whistle), then use the 3-way warp to open up passages in the First Overworld. If you come out of a waterfall doing this, DON'T TAKE THE DOCK or you will have to do it all over again; go back in to the waterfall instead. Once you have the Second Overworld open the Small Wallet is in the west graveyard, the Large one is one screen east of King's Tomb (a secret path) and the Wand is in the Proving Grounds (also on a secret path, after you solve the Lost Lake).
4. L2 boomerang is under the Lanmola room in Level 5. Use the whistle.
5. How about I mention: there is no Hookshot, Hammer, Boots, Gold Ring, Gold Arrow, Cross, or Flippers. (there might be a fire boomerang, not sure).
Anyway since you have 19 hearts you have found the 2nd overworld, so go THERE to find that western graveyard and all that. Once you finish L6/L7, you play in the Second Overworld til you find the Wand, then you can open L8.

I appreciate your quick and thorough response. I am still having trouble with the first wallet, though. I believe I have the correct graveyard (2nd overworld, two screens east an one screen north of the southwest corner) but cannot find the entrance. I have killed all the ghosts, pushed all the tombs, used the whistle and bombed all walls. How do I get the wallet? I have also all of the other tombs located in screens in the southwest corner of the second overworld.

here is where you can find the wallet

found the small wallet in the graveyard dungeon in the sw hyrule
under a tree almost at the end of the dungeon
Re: The Longest Journey ... IS HERE!! Download it now!!
I'm not sure why you are having problems finding that entrance. It's wide open in that graveyard.
The graveyard is in the west... two screens north of the big cave, then head west until the ground turns gray. Follow this path all the way to the end (you can only go one way) past the ghosts and mummies and Wizzrobes and Gohmas and all that.
At the end there will be some stairs that wind up and down to an open dungeon entrance. The guy there says "I cannot help you." Well, he cannot, but the wall on his right is a walk-through wall. That he is in a real dungeon - not a cave, like everyone else from the TLJ overworlds - is supposed to be a tip-off to you.
Near the end of this dungeon burn a tree in the room with Wizzrobes to find the small wallet.
Or, if that doesn't work, just cough up a heart container east of King's Tomb to get the Large Wallet. Since you can get 24, 23 isn't really bad to have (although you may not be able to get the Master Sword with only 23, I forget).

Oh, duh! I took him seriously and left the few times I saw him. I tried giving him bait and attacking him with every weapon, I never thought to check the walls. Thanks for the tip.
Re: The Longest Journey ... IS HERE!! Download it now!!
I thoroughly enjoyed this quest. It was challenging yet playable. I am looking forward to playing more of your quests but after downloading them from your website, I try to load them and get the error message "invalid .qst file". Do you know why this is happening?
Re: The Longest Journey ... IS HERE!! Download it now!!
Njg - you have to unzip them and use the correct ZC version. TLJ and AOL are 1.90, Nth Quest is 1.92 Beta 163 (or maybe 183), and Proving Grounds is 2.10; so make sure you load the quest into the right version (if you have only 1.90, you can't play Nth or PG).
This is the first I have heard of a problem with my downloads. Everything but Proving Grounds is also available on Zeldaclassic.com; search by author for pLeitorian.
Re: The Longest Journey ... IS HERE!! Download it now!!
Hey...this is a great quest!
Question about level 7. How on earth do you get there?
I read above that you have to go through a mini-dungeon which you enter east of the 7 entrance, but how do you get there? I've checked for walk through walls, bombing areas, whistle blowing....please let the secret be known.
