    Amazing game all around but HORRIBLE map system

    Seriously guys you gotta give us some more slack to find areas. I spent almost an hour just looking for one place. Its really frustrating not knowing where anything is even when you press on map in the quest window. I have to find camp drybone and I have NO idea where to go now.

    Is there an easier way to navigate? This is literally blood boiling. It's the only thing I hate about this game.

    I agree it was my biggest gripe about the game when I first started playing. It gets much better once you uncover most of the map and now I don't even notice it. It was probably my biggest pet peeve when first starting out. Stick with it and soon you won't even notice how bad it is.

    I don't understand where to go or do anything man. It shouldn't be like this!

    Even at level 21 I don't know what's going on most of the time outside gridania.

    drybone is in eastern thanalan

    I never noticed a problem with the maps, they usually pointed the direction where to go, and by the time it was less straightforward I knew most areas

    Eastern Thanalan is where you find camp drybone

    either you go to Uldah => gate of Nald to Central Thanalan => ride or run North East and you should arrive Eastern Thanalan

    Or gridania => Central Shroud => run south to South Shroud => run south passing by camp tranquil to Eastern Thanalan

    Doesn't clicking "Map" in your quest journal show you where to go?

    Not all the time. Sometimes it shows a messed up world map glitch and it gets super annoying lol

    Part of the joy of gaming, for me, is discovery. That being said I felt the same way when I first started playing. I would go on a search for the new location and get sidetracked with other missions or die from battling some of the newer random enemies. I ended up spending a half hour or hour one night just clicking through finding the various areas that connected with each other. The better you know the layout the more Gil you'll save by not having to fast travel as much. Stick with it and it'll become more natural and manageable, good luck!

    I think it takes you to the world map only when it's an area you haven't discovered.
