I was solo'ing VNM's today in Xarcabard/Beaucedine Glacier today, and I saw something I haven't seen since I came back.
Something called a Survival Guide right next to the Field Manual. After I actually clicked one in both Xarcabard and Beaucedine Glacier I noticed they let me teleport between them for gil.
My first assumption was that there must be either one Survival Guide per Field manual, or at least one per zone.
I warped to La Theine Plateau and started my search, both Field Manuals at D-4 and K-8 came up naught. I even brought out RNG widescan to see if they were close-by but not right next to the manual. Nothing.
Than I went to Behemoth's Dominion and checked the Field Manual there. Nothing. I even ran all the way the Behemoth's spawn point with widescan just to satisfy my curiosity about and make sure there wasn't a Survival Guide in an odd place this time.
I thought about maybe if it was Grounds of Valor instead of Fields of Valor, but since the only two Survival Guides I have found were both next to Field Manuals, that would obviously rule that out, so either it's Fields of Valor only or just specific zones. I searched survival guide and Fields of Valor on BGwiki and no info about these teleports at all.
Now after that long-winded explanation my question would be, does anyone here know where the other Survival Guides are? Is there a pattern to what zones they were placed in?
Locations I know about are:
Xarcabard: (H-9)
Beaucedine Glacier: (H-9)
