Hi everyone, new player here! Song of Avaria seems very awesome, but I'm struggling hard to find... anything. RP locations, shops, etc. I've started working on a map, but the city's so, so big and very difficult to navigate. Is there any kind of list of shops by district at least in particular? Thanks!

I've been working on making a basic map by paring down my master map of Omrazir, but haven't had a chance to finish it yet. If it helps for the time being, here is the EXTREMELY basic version without a key or labels: Navigation to important resources shouldn't be too difficult at the moment, as most of them are located either along the Via Magna (the straight north-south line running just left of center), the Bazaar of the Nine Winds (the orange-y area in the south center, at the bottom end of the Via Magna), or in the wharf district (the little area in brownish-grey in the top-center). There are some other things scattered around the game, but they're more "extra" than essential. Right now there are just actually very, very few shops, so the fact that so few exist may lead to the feeling they're hard to find -- when really they're just mostly not even there yet! I see from this morning that there is a need for a shop of first aid supplies. XD So I'll try to put in something with those bare essentials by the end of the day. But yeah, the city is quite large, and if you get off the main routes it's much easier to get turned around in. I may be able to finish a slightly more useful version of the map (with a key for the different areas and main routes) in the next couple of days, but what with the holiday rush that's likely all I'll have time for in the next week or two. |

Thank you! Yeah, I figured I had to just be missing a first aid shop, but if it isn't THERE that ironically makes me feel better. I will have a pretty complete map soon enough, I think, so don't worry about getting something together for me. I do really appreciate the swift and helpful reply, though. |

There is in fact now a basic first aid shop in the Bazaar of the Nine Winds! See also here: https://www.songofavaria.com/forum/announcements/topics/709/ |

I took the liberty of snagging Mistsparrow's lovely map and adding some basic tags of street names and neighborhoods to it for ease of use, I hope this is okay :) If I've gotten things wrong, please let me know! I've done this mostly from memory so it's very possible not everything is correct. I have highlighted the Via Magna in blue, as that is the main thoroughfare and where you are most likely to find what you need in the city as well as people to RP with usually. And I've added in the location of the Night Winds Caravanserai (a popular meeting place and a place you can rent a private room) as well as the Sea Lynx where it's docked at the Pier of Stars and the Jolly Osprey. There's lots more to see and discover, obviously, but I thought this might at least help those who are perhaps feeling particularly overwhelmed. It is a very big city! But it's also incredibly beautiful and well-written and really rewarding to explore, so I highly recommend taking some time to get lost and enjoy the scenery. :) This is all very quick and dirty, by no means very good, just an attempt to help out a bit. |

Thank you both, Mistsparrow and Matty for the maps, I've been wandering about with those kind of thoughts in mind too - and you both have saved me a lot of shoe leather!

I have yet again come in search of help! Is there anywhere to sell the pelts/random body parts you get from butchery? I tried a bunch of different plausible places and no dice. Please help me I'm so poor now... |

Iiiif it works correctly, you should be able to sell animal carcasses and parts at the Wild Meat Market in the Plainview District. That's out the south Nthanda gate, west along the path, southwest, and then into the adobe building. I haven't gotten a chance to test it yet so I didn't put it in the announcements, but you can go ahead and try it out! |

Aha, thank you! I don't know how I missed that shop. It does work, though I only got 1 copper for each item I sold (pelt, bladder, intestines). This may be due to low stats/skills, but if so that's a little brutal given how much effort/cost goes into being able to hunt and butcher. I'd have to depopulate the countryside to even come close to breaking even on bow + quiver + knife. Still, very cool that the game loop works! |
