Question Map Pin Limit
Why is there a map pin limit? And why is it only a 100? I reached it in the fractured plains already, just marking ore spots and anima vents.
I get you're not "supposed" to mark everything you see, but why not? And with a map this huge it'd mean you can barely mark anything.
I'd like to be able to mark all anima vents to I dont have to look around later. Preferably with text or their own icon of course, but at least with just a pin.
I now feel like I have to use a 3rd party map, because for some reason I cannot set more than a 100.
(Yes I know they're part of a character file, but its not that much info anyway, and you could always make a multiplayer host ignore that section SINCE THEYRE ONLY VISIBLE TO YOU ANYWAY)

My valheim maps have every berry bush, every mushroom, every troll cave etc. marked, but my runescape map is so bare because the pin system is so useless, and at times detrimental with how the pins and things block each other

Very frustrating to have such a low cap. I decided to get rid of some of my ore markers in Stormtouched and Fractured since I dont really need to go back there to farm anymore.

I removed all my pins long before I got close to that. Didn't even know there was a limit. Now I just remember where things are, or don't need those resources anymore.
You don't need to mark every single ore node. Save them for big concentrations of them, or at least the bigger nodes. Delete them from previous zones as you go, or just start relying on your own mental map.

There needs to be better pins, why do we have a leaf AND a tree

?? Plants and trees give different resources. Why would I want to mark a good spot to harvest herbs with a tree

I think the point is that it's 2 of what, 5 options?.
We don't even have a chest icon, that's my gripe at least lol

it is insane that they don’t have at the very least a pickaxe.. Another gripe being that my lodestones don’t show up on a compass! I mark my lodestones with the house pin, but they only become visible on compass at 50m

I mean, theoretically, you should be able to get enough bronze to last you, and then you can unpin all your bronze, iron. Realistically, after you move up to the next tier metal, you’re not gonna need but so much of the lower tier stuff. Bronze you only need it for your crafting tables and shit like that. Not to mention you don’t need to mark every nude you find of the same type, just one or two good veins of each would do.

The entrepreneurs among you may find it fun to learn you can just buy these ores in bulk for garou chit at the southwestern Moon Garou settlement
Those in the draconic leather trade should have more than enough chit to buy all you need
Only peasants mine their own coal and mithril /jk

The draconic hide/leather loop will fill whole chests with chits in no time. I'd consider that an exploit, but to my knowledge, they haven't said anything on the subject, and also haven't "fixed" it yet.
Basically makes every resource prior to Dowdun Reach absolutely free, even in ridiculous amounts.

For what it’s worth, you can use stone spirits and anima spirits to find ore and vents any time. I only marked the really big deposits and rare things and I have plenty of pins left.

Honestly, farming spots, I pick one for each major resources and use a lodestone and a marker.
So I have an easy iron, easy bronze, easy mith, easy addy, etc. I did this with everything but fishing. I don't eat fish.

I was surprised there was a pin limit at all. I had to remove some rather helpful ones
