Getting through the Factions map

I really hate navigating the factions areas.... such a maze... but what i'm wondering: Is there a way to get to the Maishang Hills part of Factions quickly? Anyway to run straight to it, or do i have to do some/most of the story missions?

Last mission i finished was the Celestial body one, where have to kill the 4 star beings. So i only have the first 5 or so town/mission outpost areas open to warp to

You have to do the story line if you want any significant access to the southern part of factions.... just keep doing the primary quests... it will eventually lead you out.

You will need to complete the main quests/missions in order to gain access to that area (and the rest of the Jade Sea region).

I know it can seem tedious but if this is your first time doing factions, take the time to enjoy the storyline (However horrible the voice acting and animation might be )!

You're only 4 missions and about 7 quests away from being able to get there.

Should only be about 3 hours or so depending on how much trouble you have with the missions.

Once you get to that point, it opens up a bit (and the scenery changes dramatically), but there will still be blocks in your way. Factions is just not as open as Prophecies is unfortunately.

well, at least its close i suppose XD

thanks all!

edit: bah! made it out to Zos Shivros, but now im blocked in again and being sent back into the city... this game is mocking me XD
