Well I'm currently over in Unrest at the moment and have been for the
last week or so.. I got a teleport over to Greater Faydark to get
there.. I'm not well liked at either dock so ship travel really isn't
for me..

I've not had that much trouble there so far.. yes every good NPC there
will attack you but if you stick to the zone edges and get a good map
you can normally get around okay. I have Jboots which have saved my
life a number of times over the last week though. One hint I would
say.. is if it's raining and you need to cross a zone on Faydwer.. just
climb a mountain and sit and med for a bit.. wait for the rain to go..
since the clipping plane patch rain has become deadly when travelling
hostile regions.. Yesterday I tried to cross Butchersblock and I
managed to pick up a female dwarf from somewhere.. I didn't see any
buildings that I went too close to.. I didn't see her at all until she
hit me.. Jboots saved me again.. but in the rush to zone I picked up
another 2 dwarves as I passed too close to their buildi ng.. (I reckon
the aggro zones on them are wider than the visible distance you can see
(when raining) which if true is very nasty)

So apart from slightly difficult travel what else.. hmm.. trading.. Now
I can sell to a druid at the druid circle in Butchersblock which is
ideal for dumping off your FS weapons from unrest.. however I haven't
found anyone to buy food from.. but we're clerics so we can summon that
if necessary..

Banking.. can't do this anywhere that I've found.. Very annoying..

Trading.. Trading is slightly harder in that you have to convince the
person you are buying from/selling to to come to you always.. since they
normally want to meet in the city of the zone your in.. or somewhere
equally as dangerous for you to get to..

Anyway that's about all I have to sayabout Faydwer.. It's okay.. it has
some nice zones.. Unrest, Mistmoore, Kedge Keep.. but it's just not
home.. and the lack of banking is very annoying.. so unless you like to
travel a lot or have a Wiz/Druid on call to TP you back expect it to
feel like a camping trip.. and my will you really appreciate home much
more when you get back..

Oh well.. nearly high enough to hit Sol B.. :)
