While running from Kindleburn to Rathglen on my first day, I passed by Thornkeep and was struck by the view. Thought I'd share.
And my new lock screen on my phone

How's the AH in Thornkeep, any stock? :)
I am glad to see that I recognize the area, because of the waterfall. My hope is that the world will get a lot more of these landmarks, all over the place. Lisa told us as much so I know it is coming, just yearning for some more differentation in the landscape.
Another suggestion to the landscaping devs: I would love to see some "acre" textures used in the Cropland hexes, possibly in the Highland hexxes too. Fields of Wheat, that sort of stuff. Place a simple farmhouse with a barn next to them and bam! the world looks more alive and populated!
In the future I am hoping for flock of sheep, cows, chickens, though I am not sure if these should be killable or not. If so, then I am afraid they will not be alive for long to liven up the place. ;)

Personally, I'm boycotting the Auction House until it is filtered or has a filter option to exclude listing items that have no actual stock in the current present AH. To tedious trying to find or sell things otherwise. That was a big UI mistake in my opinion.
Nice shots, Daeglin!

I agree that the UI could be much better, but I'm taking the opposite approach. If I see anything I can use at less-than-outrageous prices, I'll buy it just to encourage people to use the AH. If we all boycott it, people will be out of the habit of using it by the time it gets fixed. I certainly want it fixed, but I also hope people keep using it until it is fixed.

I use it all the time.
A tip (maybe obvious but for some this may be useful):
When looking for raw materials, put one of the following search words in the search window (after hitting the Crafting and Raw tab off course;
Potent
Superior
Smooth
Perfect
Solid
Uncanny
True
This will cover all raw materials, I believe.
Since Hex-depletion is not really a thing yet, pretty much all resources are still of the best quality, which is reflected by the above words.
So all the clutter of the lower quality stuff that have no entries anyway is filtered out, leaving pretty short and workable list. Even the "potent" search can be clicked through with a single scroll down( click everything when the results appear, then scroll full down once and click the rest.
Clicking through recipes is more cumbersome. But I still do it anyway, in three batches: +1. +2 and +3.
For the rest I just search very specifically, like for a Students Trophy Charm. Off course a specific search works for a lot of things, if you know what you want.
Another tip: you can click *real fast*: even if you are already three clicks ahead, the window will still show you anything that is actually there, with a delay. So I click like madman with a half eye on the window to the right, where materials show up: as soon as I see something flashing in there, I go a few clicks back to see which one it actually was.
I must say though that I am accustomed to using a Thumbtrackball: once you are proficient with those, something like clicking through a list that needs minimal repositioning of the cursor, is very easy to do with such a thumb trackball. I could never do that with a regular mouse.
Not a tip, just saying.

Tyncale, add Infused to that list, and Standard.
But those are lesser quality iterations of the "Potent" and "true" resources. Or did you mean to say that people are actually putting up some of the lesser quality resources too already?
(I noticed there is some already indeed.)
The moment Hex-depletions are in full swing everywhere then my trick will not work anymore, for sure. UNless you only want to look for the resources that weight the least off course.
