unhighlighted map locations?

Ronish · 07-15-2002, 01:28 PM

OK, so I've got a few locations on my map that I can't travel to. What's up with that? I thought if it was on the map, you could click on it and go. But, for some reason I've had the Windspar Hills, Unger Hills, and the Estate added to my map but they don't highlight when I move my cursour over them and I can't travel to them.

Anyone know what's up? There are other locations (Druid's grove for example) that I can travel to fine, but not these ones. I'd appreciate some assistance, I've got some acorns burning a whole in my pocket that I'd like to deliver...

Thanks!

i know it sounds silly, but are you trying to actually 'travel' to those sections {ie wheel symbol} or just looking at them on your world map...?

You could try going to the gate district in Athkatla and then trying to travel to them. I know you may have all ready done this but it's worth a try.

Yep, Zarr got it: You have to go to the City Gates map, and exit Athkatla from there. And if you discover any more out-of-town areas, you'll have to go to the City Gates again to access them, too.

Actually...once you get out of the City Gates once, you should be able to access all the overland areas. If not, it's a bug.

You have to go to the City Gates, and go out of them the opposite way to which you came in. That is, go to exit on the other side of the district. You should now be able to travel to anywhere on your map; if you go back through the way you came, you will be able to go to some but not others.

The ToB-area Watchers Keep can always be travelled to no matter where you travel from, while all other areas outside Athkatla must first be travelled to from the City Gates.
When you get out from the Underdark, you can also travel to the three new areas from anywhere, at any time.

To clarify, if you have ToB installed, you can exit out anywhere from the city to Watcher's Keep, then once you reach Watcher's Keep, you can go anywhere on the map, meaning that you can ignore the City Gates District if you go to Watcher's Keep.
