Working my confection I have noticed a few things, clays.
Ok, I don't mind clay or the whole confection class being slow. Makes us more Masochistic.
But anyways, there are some extreme sillynesses abounding.
Adobe - By Parsenia, machine in Sslanis.
No port, exceedingly long walk. So recall to Sslanis (no disk) or drag disk to slaanis.
Earthen - By Bristugo (easeist I have found)
Only player built towns have Kilns, so none in Brist, drag disk to dalimond or recall to SSlanis.
Abandoned isle (no machine).
Probably outside T2 towns, but never found by me.
Terra Cotta -
(thanks to Aamer on suggestion).
This one almost makes sense. Terra outside Mahagra, machine in building.
Other places - Desert's Edge, player town so no machines.
Feladan - small deposit.
Since I am doing Terra Cotta now, I can pretty much clean Istaria out of Terra Cotta in 2 hours. Then I am mostly running between the locations looking for scraps (usually do the other components then).
But I guess my point clay spawns slow, and is put in some very difficult places to use. A T1 Confectioner basically hauls from Parsenia to Kion or Sslanis.
This is on top of the other confection issues.
Now recalling can work, but we all know what happens when you recall too much.
(I use Sslanis because of Gurok, Beef, Chicken and vegies are right there.)
Suggestions
Help.
Also,
Peppers, barley and other items.
I realize Pekka's map is 3rd party, but how in the name of Itsaria is a new player suppose to know to go to heather for Peppers/Barley (probably other places but I haven't found it).
The map, location of resources and more are insane for confection (again it was Aamer's suggestion to try Mah for Terra, I can no drag out my Terra Cotta collection to 2 hours).
So please, some confeciton love! Not much, don't mind it hard, but clays, ola la.
