notebook

Besides using an outside program, is there a way to keep a diary or notes in this game? There are many details that I can never remember and would love to keep notes. For example, I can never remember:

1) my favorite streets with notes about what is located there
2) comparison list of how much vendors buy and sell for street price (for example, I always tend to forget who only buys for 50% SP)
3) address of the Bureau
4) area to access the cold region
5) a grocery list
6) a "to do" list
7) notes on a player I've met
8) alchemistry experiment recipes

  • Learn the Penpersonship skill and you can write all the lists you want.

    I keep one in my "Grocery" bag to remind me what I need to stock up on.
    I keep another in my "Awesome" bag to remind me how many stacks of each item I need for a marathon stewing session.

    And for a while, I kept a list of the streets for the giants for the skill I was learning.

  • However, multiple lists take up space. And you have a limited number of characters/note.

    It would be cool, yes, if we had a notebook. Maybe with 50-100 'notes' per inventory icon.

  • I have one bigger bag labeled "Notebook".  And I keep all my...notes in it.

    Here's another alternative, but I haven't used them and not sure on how secure your notes are:

  • Love the idea of combining 50 notes into a notebook!

  • One thing I've done which is very helpful to me is to clip out a map of Kalavana and use Paint to mark each street that has gas trees with the number of trees.  This can change, but in practice it doesn't all that much.   When I need gas, I pull up this map in an image viewer and it helps me decide how to navigate through the street network on a Gas run.    I've also done this in some other regions to show me what streets contain concentrations of certain rocks I am sometimes interested in.   This is less helpful for resources that change often, like beans or fruit.

  • I wish that penmanship was integrated earlier in the game. I had a situation happen a few days ago that is worth mentioning. I was wandering around and stumbled upon a large pile of toys that someone had accidentally dropped. I decided to leave a lost/found note on the ground, however did not have the ability. I ended up getting a higher up friend do it for me, but if he hadn't been available, it wouldn't have happened. BTW, no one ever claimed the toys.

  • WalruZ - great idea! maybe the devs could integrate something like this into the mapping section. It would be nice to at least be able to place pin markers on the map of important places, like friends' houses, etc.
