In order to get from one place to another, you need to write a travel post. And it seems that in the order of the cities and places is the way you go (up and down). But the number of words you need for every post is confusing. Also it was unclear if the amount of hours you travel in game is the amount of time you have to wait before taking a quest in the city you arrive in.
So yeah if anyone can answer these questions that would be awesome. Also I know I ask a lot of questions but I'd rather not assume.
