In recent times the game has me back in Vasburg Armory....and I always find it fun looking for the storage chest in this outpost (if I havent been here for a while....and even if I remember it is a pain to get too)

Got me thinking...is this the most out of the way xunlai chest in the game?..and which outpost would have the best / most convenient chest locations.

It's nice knowing an outpost where the chest appears right next to the spawn entry as it makes for nice quick access when moving things around and managing the pack rats

Cheers

Vasburg armory stoage location sucks, too.

God, for how many times I was convinced there was no chest in vasburg while farming scar eater and the ugly stick.

For me, worst xunlai location is in Maguuma Stade, since I can't even find the outpost.

EDIT: Forgot about Granite Citadel, got lost trying to get my new woven and ended up going to GH.

The worst location for the chest is definitely Beacon's Perch.

Vasburg always annoyed me. I was disappointed by the huge, sprawling factions towns on an already-small continent, it was like they didn't want to bother with the explorable areas :/

Beacon's? You gotta be kidding me! Gate of Torment! I had to run around for 30 mins to find it.

The best location in Isle of Solitude... sometimes you even zone right into it. Talk about fast access.

Hee, that's my Guild Hall, and I love zoning right on top of the storage, which is what happens half the time. Awesome.

Anyway, Henge of Denravi is a pain in the ass. In general, large towns where the storage is off in some random corner suck. Put it by a freaking portal or the henchmen or something where it's convenient and easy to find.

Gate of Torment, blah. I remember after entering the Realm of Torment someone actually spamming WTB run to Xunlai chest. I still don't remember where it is; I zone to the guild hall. Vasburg is a pain too. I know the general direction it's in, but why put it there? Nothing else is there so why should the chest be over there by itself? If there were a merchant or something back there too that might be better.

That's if you're not zoned in across from it. Not a real complaint though, I'm not that lazy.

I'll agree with Gate of Torment and Vasburg. :\ Oh and Rata Sum - Not it being hard to find, but getting stuck behind buildings and the sort when you click on either of the two storage chests.

The first zone in the torment land is the worst.

Gate of Torment and Vasburg, definitely. The Vasburg one is really ridiculous considering you have the 15k armourer AND a weapons crafter there as well. You'd think they'd put the Xunlai closer to the crafters, but nooo... I remember zoning back to GH to get the stuff for my 15k Kurz because I couldn't find the Xunlai.

The torment city is probably the worst since if you want the full assortment of traders you need to either go there or jump through various outposts to another city that has them. Seriously, did it never occur to Anet that it would be just a little (/sarcasm) frustrating to have the NPCs so spread out that it takes ages to find them, but also so far away that you can't even SEE them from the spawn points.

The storage location in vasburg makes me wanna shoot myself in the foot. Relocation to the center of the armory would be nice

That thing not only lacks a chest, it also lacks a way out.

There is a chest there??? I convinced myself, after what felt like hours of circles, that no chest existed there. D:

Torment places always annoys me, gogo GH and back ¬_¬

Henge of whatever is also horrible

As is granite citadel.

But vasburg was the worst for me, especially when crafting the armor ¬_¬

Granite Citadel for me. To get to it, you have to go all the way up, and then over the bridge.

AND THERE'S NOTHING ELSE IMPORTANT THERE.

The standards: GoT, Vasburg, Granite Citadel, etc...

Lion's Arch used to be a pain too, until they put in that second chest...

I'm with the Vasburg crowd as far as what I think the worst chest location would be.

Vasburg annoys me too. Kaineng bothers me sometimes too since you can't always see storage or NPCs while holding Alt.

Not that this is a suggestion thread, but why did Anet not ever put NPC locations on the U minimap like they flag locations on PvP U-minimaps? Seems like an easy addition and would help tremendously...

Gunnar's Hold

All the armor/crafter guys are way off on the north side, but the chest is on the south up aflight of stairs around those kiosk things that have collision glitches. At least once you get down there there's a merchant but still....

CTC is the same way but to a lesser degree, chest is way of to one side and all the npcs are of the other way.
