Rauderi.8706 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Lily of Elon pass. Amnoon. I go to whichever capital city has the gathering daily (never the Grove, ew). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcellinoAlighieri.7194 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Divinity's Reach for familiarity (I play mostly humans) Lion's Arch for the Mystic Forge Amnoon because it's pretty (I am that shallow) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maikimaik.1974 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I LOVE Hoelbrak but everything is just placed so inconveniently... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavynousHunter.2130 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 LA for making Mystic Salvage Kits. Divinity's Reach for Laurel Merch, and Queensdale for everything else. I'd kill for a Mystic Forge in a place that doesn't take as long to load as LA, though. Especially given the damned intro cinematic out of which I can't opt when I go there with a new character for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeyspit.3965 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 For 95% of what I need, I head to my Guild Hall. The remaining 5% usually comes down to the Magic Toilet or Fractals. My crafting toons are perma camped in LA though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STIHL.2489 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 LA For Crafting, and generic stuff, often a launch point to other places. DR for Home Instance, Trading, and Bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gop.8713 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 For capital city specifically at the end of a session I have to say LA, just bc it links directly from everywhere -- guild hall, pvp lobby, wvw, fractals, etc. . . . But I can typically finish my business in those other places so I don't actually need to go back to LA . . . For home instance I do Black Citadel just bc I do home instance on a charr . . . Rata Sum is prolly the most convenient overall, if you don't need the mystic forge . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The home instance farming nodes are easier to spot than in the other cities Except the Brandstone node. That's in weird places in all of them, but at least the one in the Black Citadel is just there next to the garden plots, and in Hoelbrak it's just tucked in a corner almost behind a hanging cloth, rather than down some scruffy alley over there.

DeanBB.4268 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Divinity's Reach, due to both the Home Portal and Royal Pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraghound.5730 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Rata Sum is the city I visit most often, LA on the other hand is the one I avoid. Ever since PoF came out it takes me anywhere from 3-5 minutes of sitting at the loading screen (more if I disconnect in the middle of it. x.x) and my cpu spikes to 100% for half of the loading.

Orion Templar.4589 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 For merchant/trading post/bank access I use the Mistlock Sanctuary. I voted Black Citadel though since I typically go there for home instance gathering on days when one of the dailies isn't specifically in one of the other zones. I default to Black Citadel for home instance gathering since the portal from Mistlock Sanctuary puts me close to the home instance entrance.

Biff.5312 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I go to LA almost exclusively, unless there's something I need located at one of the other towns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menadena.7482 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I love DR. If you have the doric scroll you basically have a pass to right outside a daily harvesting area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNecrosanct.4028 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Before I had the Mistlock Sanctuary pass my characters went to their home cities, so Norn to Hoelbrak, Sylvari to The Grove, etc. I'd either park them at the bank or at a crafting station if they are crafters. But now whenever I need to use any of the services cities provide, I go to the Mistlock Sanctuary, and that is also where all my characters are now parked. The only time I visit cities are for daily home instance farming (I go to The Grove by default, unless there's a daily gathering in one of the other areas). I only visit Rata Sum when the Super Adventure Box is opened (since Maguuma gathering can be done in The Grove, and the home instance there is much more compact).

deatine.2498 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I started visiting Ebonhawke regularly again. That one street with all the crafting stations and bank+Black Lion Trader in one house is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante.1763 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Black Citadel, because nobody really goes there, so its empty, loads really quickly and even though everything is spread out due to the first two i have a better time there. I *do* wish it had a special access area though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kumouta.4985 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I go to the citadel if i need to craft anything, but otherwise the PvP lobby has an easily accessible bank and tp at no waypoint cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalamityO.2890 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Black citadel for home instance. However, I'm finding myself using the more out of the way area(s) like Ashford forum in plains of Ashford. It's quiet, stations are close to each other.

Maybe I should rephrase-- "My four pathetic nodes show up easily on my minimap." ;) I don't have the brandstone node. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamy Lu.3865 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I voted Divinity. Note that I have outpost Noble's Folly. Since then, all my toons are there and I very rarely use towns, except for farming home instance. Even before that, I was trying to avoid towns, and was more using the starter zone of Fields of Ruin area, that has bank/TP and crafting stations altogether, most of the time nicely empty. :) Now regarding towns, for me, 3 criteria matter: - How nice. - How practical. - How quiet it is (I don't like overcrowding, with mounts, those running in circles, those using their skills, those double clicking in a row their goodies doing serie of unpleasant flashing, and so on...). Based on those 3 points, Divinity wins, with bank and TP together, crafting stations straight below reached by simply jumping down, the portals to LA and to FoR, and a moderate population unless there is an event right there (Like Wintersday). I find the Grove beautiful, but it is a maze and the opposite of practical. I avoid LA as far as I can. First, I do not like the new design. Then, TP is too far from bank (to my taste) and at the top of it, it is mostly overcrowded, especially over the weekend. I do not like Black Citadel that is too dark and metal for me, plus the maze, plus the bank from from TP. Rata Sum and Hoelbrak, not much to say. They are OK, not more, with a little preference for Rata Sum where TP, bank and crafting stations are close together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
