They found a place!&#8221; and got my alt on to continue doing Stew.<br \/>\nI 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.<br \/>\nI hopped back into their Teamspeak channel so hopefully Starhero would see me and say that they&#8217;re coming back to get that cart full of their stuff.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Making it to Samling, I went over to the left coast since I didn&#8217;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.<br \/>\nAt 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.<\/p>\n<p>It looks like a merchant town. And on the far end is someone that sells ship supplies. And I mean <em>everything<\/em> you need to build the big boats. This is great! That means when I&#8217;m ready to build that Corbita, I can come here instead of pestering Anayy for what I need.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;s new to the town and couldn&#8217;t say. So I headed out since I didn&#8217;t have the money to buy what I need (nor do I need to ATM) and headed back to my boat.<\/p>\n<p>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 &#8220;Traffic Diversion Sorry&#8221;.<br \/>\nSaw 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&#8217;t have my compass on me) and then &#8216;turn around&#8217;. 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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<br \/>\nAs 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.<\/p>\n<p>Finally I entered Merchant Town. Noticed how&#8230; pricey everything was. Including wanting 114g for a lantern.<br \/>\nSaw a Trader but he was behind a fenced-in area. Sucks. So I attempted to continue forward on the path hoping it&#8217;ll take me back to my boat.<\/p>\n<p>As I walked I saw a sign pointing right saying &#8220;Tar Pit&#8221; 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&#8217;t have to use angry&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>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 &#8216;free&#8217; 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&#8217;m ready to lend me a cart that I can cart it to my boat.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;s huge.<\/p>\n<p>Finally got back to the coast and followed it south to my boat, and headed home.<br \/>\nWhen 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&#8217;t move them. As I was going by the north coast heading back home, I heard one of them say &#8220;Dragon is in my local&#8221;. 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.<\/p>\n<p>So I turned around and went over to their location, picked up one of them while the other took the Ocean Warrior.<br \/>\nGetting 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&#8217;m aiming for. But they didn&#8217;t help long. They were too busy trying to get in contact with Starhero, and finally they did.<br \/>\nHe 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).<\/p>\n<p>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 &#8220;He&#8217;s still here?!&#8221; The only reason I&#8217;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&#8217;re coming to pick it up.<br \/>\nBut I&#8217;m not a part of them or their past settlement. Starhero got his rowboat. That should be enough.<\/p>\n<p>Time passed and I <strong>finally<\/strong> 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&#8217;t require Stone Cutting skill.<\/p>\n<p>But anyway, for now on I&#8217;m staying out of their Teamspeak channel unless they need me. Even so, I wish them the best of luck in finding a place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I logged in yesterday, I noticed both the Ocean Warrior and the SilverWind were gone, and thought &#8220;Awesome!
