Hah!

Someone else has gone to the trouble of making a nice world map of Crystal Bearers!  I will still continue my mapmaking, partially because it's fun (and because printing out the full map would be something of a spoiler).  But I probably sha'n't continue with making prettified maps with Google Documents (Drawing), as someone has already done that work for me.  I may even email the mapmaker to thank him.

Whether I continue trying to keep track of particularly good combinations of materials for items, particularly as they seem less than 100% guaranteed to give you spiffy items, remains to be seen.
