When I logged in yesterday, I noticed both the Ocean Warrior and the SilverWind were gone, and thought “Awesome! They found a place!” and got my alt on to continue doing Stew.
I also noticed some of the logs I cut for them have been moved over to where the two boats were, but thought it was probably them.
I hopped back into their Teamspeak channel so hopefully Starhero would see me and say that they’re coming back to get that cart full of their stuff.
After moving both piles of logs in my large cart to the BSB, I decided to head up the coast to Merchant Town to check it out while my alt fishes and cooks.
Making it to Samling, I went over to the left coast since I didn’t know the precise location of Merchant Town. Then saw the Xanadu Canal marker and decided to follow the canal. When I first saw it as my alt I wanted to see what it was like, since I liked how it was carved right out of the hill.
At the end of the canal is a path going up. I hopped out and followed it. And then it seems to stop. I look around and notice a few buildings to my left and head there, and enter Xanadu.
It looks like a merchant town. And on the far end is someone that sells ship supplies. And I mean everything you need to build the big boats. This is great! That means when I’m ready to build that Corbita, I can come here instead of pestering Anayy for what I need.
Someone logged in as I was checking out the other merchants, and I asked if he know where I could find some tar for ship building. He says he’s new to the town and couldn’t say. So I headed out since I didn’t have the money to buy what I need (nor do I need to ATM) and headed back to my boat.
I then set sail to Merchant Town. Finally reaching it, I noticed the only way in is blocked by wooden fences and gates, with a sign infront of it that says “Traffic Diversion Sorry”.
Saw two people in my local who I presume were local to the land and asked if they knew how to get there. One spoke up and said I had to follow the coast road to the right of me (he said South but I didn’t have my compass on me) and then ‘turn around’. So I followed the coast road the same way my alt did, approaching the same shipyard my alt dropped his rowboat off to be donated.
He told me to turn around at the unfinished big boat (the Corbita infront of me). Seeing I had a road to the left of me, I followed it, and followed another left road that was going through a valley of Maple trees.
As I approached, I noticed wooden fences beginning to line the sides, so I have to be going the right way. Also my FPS was crying for mercy due to something resource-hogging up ahead.
Finally I entered Merchant Town. Noticed how… pricey everything was. Including wanting 114g for a lantern.
Saw a Trader but he was behind a fenced-in area. Sucks. So I attempted to continue forward on the path hoping it’ll take me back to my boat.
As I walked I saw a sign pointing right saying “Tar Pit” on it. Jumped when I saw it and turned in the direction of the sign, knowing if I found a tar pit closer to me I won’t have to use angry’s.
Followed another sign, and another following this crossroad path, and there it was. Tar in a pen! Ran over to it and saw I could enter. And saw a ‘free’ tar sample and grabbed it. This is great! Now all I have to do for this tar is to ask someone in local when I’m ready to lend me a cart that I can cart it to my boat.
I also saw Xanadu again, and saw that if I just followed its path I would had ran right into Merchant Town. I got my bearings and headed toward the coast trying to find my boat. Halfway on the right, looks like some kind of Arena or a Race Track. It’s huge.
Finally got back to the coast and followed it south to my boat, and headed home.
When I finally got in my boat, a few people joined the Teamspeak channel. They started to say that those two boats were not supposed to be moved from my place. And I know I didn’t move them. As I was going by the north coast heading back home, I heard one of them say “Dragon is in my local”. Checked and saw one of them. Then saw the other. I asked if they needed picked up and taken back to my place and they agreed. This is just until Starhero gets back on.
So I turned around and went over to their location, picked up one of them while the other took the Ocean Warrior.
Getting back to my place, I wondered if I should put these nomads to work since they offered to help me. I got a few to help make bricks, and one to help dig for that secondary mine I’m aiming for. But they didn’t help long. They were too busy trying to get in contact with Starhero, and finally they did.
He told them to head back up the coast to his location to check out the other markers Koi placed on the map of where they could drop a settlement down, and so they left, with one going afk on my pier and being left (but being picked up later on).
I then got back to work making bricks for the tower. When they got far south of me, one of them asked if I was still on. Another one said “He’s still here?!” The only reason I’m even a part of their teamspeak channel is they still got a cart full of stuff at my house, and waiting for them to tell me they’re coming to pick it up.
But I’m not a part of them or their past settlement. Starhero got his rowboat. That should be enough.
Time passed and I finally attached the last brick to the guard tower. 500 bricks completed! All I have to do now is attach 500 clay and 100 planks, but those are easier to make. They don’t require Stone Cutting skill.
But anyway, for now on I’m staying out of their Teamspeak channel unless they need me. Even so, I wish them the best of luck in finding a place.
