This is of course very irritating when your main focus is SP skillup and you havent got the locate ability yet. Still, with some memorizing it isn't that bad actually.

But atm the major problem imo is also the fact that you cannot reach many of the mining and botany nodes (lest complete field leves) at Treespeak, Iron Lake, and Halatali. There are packs of aggro mobs around many of the nodes that were introduced in patch 1.18. Big big slap in the face to peaceful gatherers...
