Caravans from Tyraturos to... Nethwatch or Nethjet! Or anywhere! #76

Open ghost opened 1 year ago

Tyraturos is the most central part of the server and, arguably, the most important hub for trade and travel. You can take a wagon from Tyraturos to Gauros Keep, but...

Not to Amruthar? Not to Nethwatch or Nethjet?

W- What?

Please allow Tyraturos wagons to take me down the road to our neighbors so I never have to walk there, or take a wagon to Bezantur then back up to Nethwatch (which is available, for some reason). It'd be nice to add Keep of Sorrows to the list.

Honestly, it'd be nice if the Tyraturos wagon could take us to any town on the server. It's in the perfect position for this important hub.

Today I learned that you can take a caravan from Nethjet all the way to Escalant, so it seems even more weird that you can't go from Tyraturos to Nethjet, since braving the way from Nethjet to Escalant would mean going through like 5 leagues of swamps. I concur with the above. At least anywhere that the Eastern Road and the High Road goes to, Tyraturos should be able to take you.

Just FYI: the prospect of increasing caravan destinations has been raised before, since theoretically every caravan can reach every destination (just through other destinations). This aspect will not be changing without the broader system getting a revamp (not on the near horizon)

What might change is specific, short routes. The example was "If Nethjet was missing a stop to Amruthar or Keep of Sorrows or something".

It just seems odd to have wagons available from Nethjet to Tyraturos, or from Tyraturos to Bezantur, but not to Amruthar and Nethjet/Nethwatch in turn.

I'll stand by the suggestion to at least allow some western travel from Tyraturos. It doesn't make much sense to not have them as an option, when Gauros Keep is available instead...

Have you ever seen how bus routes work IRL? :P As-is, I can easily reach the nearby city with a train station from my village by bus, if it's the first part of the day... but going back from there requires a multi-step journey of train to somewhere else, going halfway through said city, then grabbing a bus when it comes.
