Request: Move "West Idyllshire" closer to Crafting Area

[HakuroDK]

Just as the title says, I'd like either the West Idyllshire aetheryte shard to move to the crafting area, or a new aetheryte shard to be added in the "Freewalks Roundspot" area whereabouts the Crafting area is located.

Just a minor QoL thing. Thanks! =D

I don't even know why it's placed so far up north where there's nothing...

Well I think the Aetheryte Shard wasn't even planned to be a part of the town. It was only added since leaving Idyllshire to Hinterlands was a massive pain if you needed to get there. So to add in leaving from the Aetheryte, they needed to place a Shard somewhere on the map so they placed it in the furthest location from the main Aetheryte.

Also I really don't think the Shard needs to be moved. The distance between the crafting area and the main Aetheryte in Idyllshire is basically the same distance from the Aetheryte to the Market Boards in Gridiania. It's a really small distance, you can sprint there in under 10 seconds really.

If you look at other cities with Aetheryte Shards, you can tell that the Aetherytes were well spaced apart, where it would take multiple sprints to get from 1 Shard to another. Idyllshire isn't that big and getting to the crafting area isn't really a big chore so I don't see why the shard needs to be moved.

Don't think it's going to change. Mor Dhona is the same way

If I had to take a guess as to why it's that far north, it's probably to do with what they're intending to place on the 'back' of Idyllshire, since it seems to be expanding a lot towards the back now, the western side seems to be done with just a garden on the lower level and the crafting section. East looks like it still needs work too.

Oh, no! God forbid we have to walk for ten seconds!

But really, It'll take as long to access the Aethernet and subsequently load into the area again as it would to just run there from the Aetheryte. Not sprint. Not mount. Just running.

Please look forward to it! As a member of Balmung, there's a high likelihood that your QoL improvement will be added in the next patch. However, in order to increase your chances of this becoming a higher priority fix, you need to phantasia into a cat.

why would you ever teleport inside idyllshire, just walk you lazy bum.

The town is still on development, so might have some buildings or anything there later.
