I'd just want something that more intuitively resembles a measure of "time spent traveling." Currently it has weirdness like "it takes 5 days to switch regions but only the first time." Well, we're only aware of the weirdness because we've pried open the Black Box. It's opaque to the average player. One very simple fix might be to make the "Camp" map available to the player through a campsite on the Feroholm map and slap a 5 day increment on returning to Ari-Yhilina or Stineford. This would require a switch to keep track of which region you return to on exiting the Camp, but it'd disincentivize the only sensible reason for backtracking regions: Talking to Altina in the Camp. I just viewed the null increment on resting as an abstraction of different camps at different points on the journey.

In other news, I'm sweeping through the front page of the tool this thread is supposed to be about for spelling and grammar. Might even finish this evening.
