However, if you do wish to estimate travel time based off of distance, I can tell you (from 1.0) that each of those squares on your map is 100 square yalms, and that there are 1760 yalms in a malm.

So if you take a zone like Eastern Thanalan. The Central Thanalan zone line is at X:8 and the South Shroud zone line is at X:30. So 30 - 8 = 22 x 100 = 2200 / 1760 = 1.25 malms (miles) give or take, because you know you're also not traveling in a straight line and you have to veer off course or follow the road etc. So maybe closer to mile and a half or two mile travel.

Then from there you can estimate how fast it would take you to travel that distance on foot or whatever. But hope this helps! ^^

The thing is, this just makes no geographical, ecological, or geological sense whatsoever. There is no possible way Eastern Thanalan is 1-2 miles traversed while managing to maintain a distinct geography, support several herds of large, grazing mammals, and maintain its own weather patterns.

Which is exactly why it's a great idea to just go with the time the scene requires! Days, hours, a 30 minute shuffle. In the end, the roleplay gets going and fun is had!

Journey lengths?
