Two smallish Q's about new episode

[Tanner Blackfeather.6509]

Hi!

 

I can't log in yet for a while, but there's two small things I'd love to know!

1) I understand the Beetle is acquired through a couple collections. Is the mount needed for story? For map completion? No spoilers, if possible - yes/no is fine :)

2) Is there a new Home Instance node? I get the impression that the new currency is primarily event-reward...

1) if IT was needed for story i doubt it would be locke by a collection.

2) Probably. All story related maps have had a new corresponding node so far. ?

What the others said, but it is needed for map completion. There's at least 1 poi you cannot get without it. (Though I do not know if other people can knock the wall down for you)...
