You do tradeskills without going to PoK?

What are you some kind of sado-masochist?

[Elyssanda]

Nah, they use abysmal sea..
Ya know.. it would be awesomely cool if 1/2 of the bankers in Ab Sea (say the right side) had their own free-standing bank not hooked into the world bank.

And what do they do when they need to use a Tanaan container??

Frankly I find Abysmal Sea a horrid zone to tradeskill in. Everything is too far apart and convoluted to boot.

PoK is a nice tight square with easy access to the bazaar and guild lobby/hall.

YMMV.

I love Abysmal Sea. My baking mule - a frog wizard - lives on the boat. I levelled him to 15 so I could use the magus to get there, and he hasn't left it in over a year. Nice, quiet place. Most of the supplies are there, and anything that isn't (jumjum stalks, for instance) I just stick in the shared bank. No fights waiting tradeskill containers, no bank lag. It's nice.

Abysmal sea is so very quiet, I love it. I'm of the helpful type, so when people ask buffs or ports or just ask random questions / directions, I tend to drop what I'm doing and help everyone out.. so when I go port people around the world and buff and stuff, I'm REALLY lost where I was with my combines.

I like Kelethin for tradeskilling too. It's my home town and I can just sit there and watch the trees or run around, give drunk a silver or chat with the random lost newbie in zone.

I love this game.
