I just spent a few hours doing daily bounties by roaming around the various maps with no minimap, waypoints, or fast travel.

It was actually fun and calming.

It's frustrating when you can see the vision for Wilds, but there's literally nothing in the game that incentivizes players to play this way. I would have finished everything much faster if I just did specific quests for tempered constructs or if i just fast traveled around for the various fish and endemic life.

It was pretty nice just hunting and fishing my way back through the areas, starting with Wyveria and all the way back to the Plains, stopping at some campsites along the way.
