"Is there a broker in Tawar Galan?""Where is the harvest trainer in Tanvu?
"Is there an exotics merchant in Tursh?"
"Where is the closest bank to Three Rivers?"
How many times have you heard these questions? More importantly, how many times have you asked (or answered) them? If you're like me, you do your best to scout around and find things on your own, but sometimes it's like searching for that needle in the haystack.
This is especially true if the guards don't provide any guidance. Many of the guards in many areas are tight-lipped, I've found out. Others give *some* info, but not all. Example, the guards in Tanvu will NOT tell you where the Harvesting Trainer is, or even indicate whether s/he even exists (he does).
So, here's my proposal. I'd be willing to start coordinating a Locations Guide if others would be interested in using it and contributing to it. I propose putting it here, in Member Guides and Walkthroughs, so the people who don't want to see it can easily avoid it (I'd hope those who don't approve of such a guide would not make a special trip here to squawk about its existance).
I propose the following format:
Town: (name)
Continent: (name)
Banking: (yes/no)
Adventurer Trainers: (which ones)
Crafting Trainers: (which ones)
Crafting Area: (full service, limited service)
Diplomacy Trainer: (yes/no)
Broker: (yes/no)
Mailbox: (yes/no)
Specials: (dock/teleporters/horse merchant/ etc)
Do guards give directions? (yes/no/not always -- explain)
If people are interested, we can post the info below and I'll coordinate it all in one post. Even if you don't know ALL the info about an area, just post what you do know. I'm sure it will help someone else.
Do you think you'd like such a guide? Would you use it? Would you contribute to it? Do you think we should post /locs, too? If not specific /locs, how about general guidance ("on the porch at the Inn", "in the lower portion of the city, NE section")?

I like this idea. mostly because i have a map mod that allows me to add POIs into the map using a /loccould you PLEASE add the /loc to this so i can use this info in my map mod (talking about the blue sea V.2 map mod)
