Field notes

The map gets you there; Social finds them later

Use the mentor category for the first introduction. After that meeting, the Social app is better than memorising a timetable.

Track one profession at a time

A single active marker is easier to follow and makes the next required dialogue obvious.

Meet the mentor once

The resident must be in your Social list before Locate can draw a live route.

Do not rely on a fixed hour

Weather, events and patches can move residents. Locate reflects the current save, not an old schedule chart.

Patch checkMentor schedules can change by time, weather and patch. This page intentionally uses map markers and live Locate tools rather than promising fixed hourly positions.
