"Luigi and Clarkson will accept your map and guide you to the location marked on it. You're really a lot of trouble though; it's not likely they'll want to go through that again. You only get to use their services once per character."

Is this true? So once I used it up and decided later to join a group of friend far away I have to walk the distance? I am no native speaker, but it sounded like one of them said: "You have to give us a cake". Also they refuse by saying: "You got us lost last time".

Yup, got to walk or ride out to where you want to go next time.

It's not that bad if know how to use landmarks

I have no idea about distances in this world. How long would it take me to march, lets say from town on the coast to the "flying saucer" landmark" on the north of the coast?

You can get there via the other wagons by paying for it. I think the North wagon directly to the Flying Saucer costs 100s.

This is our first step towards effectively shrinking the map. LimersFront is located approx 4 hours walk west of Providence. An additional outpost will be added even further west in the future. With horses being sold in both locations this should hopefully make any given point on the map reachable in less than 4 hours.

I might be wrong, but I believe the flying saucer would be about 4 hours walk from Providence as well.

What are these "other" wagons you speak of? I have been everywhere in providence I believe and have only seen the one next to the church. They have also told me that they wont take me anymore unless I give them some cake. I managed to take an alt of mine over a mountain with no rope one night my companion forgot about me and played alone for 6 hours when I needed to get a map from her. I nearly made it back to our home by memory and just by making maps to gauge where I was. She got back in touch when I was about 40 minutes away. Mountains are like damn mazes and are dangerous with all the cougars about. god knows how I managed to make it without a rope. Ever since then, I kind of like traveling around by foot. But I don't know about these other wagons and how the landmarks work. I was planning on taking a hike to these landmarks to se if there was anything to see there or if they were just to make the map look a bit nicer.

Go west of the barn, those are the landmark npcs, also the icons in the providence map are also giant buildings (crashed ufo is real)

use the npcs to travel around. or find 3 Royal Jelly and make yourselve a cricket mount.

walking manually on foot is pretty slow. but its also a good way to find abandoned bases and sell junk loot back to the NPCs etc

Maybe I haven't seen all of providence yet lol, I don't think I have seen a barn. Will have a extended look around next visit.
