[QUOTE=Fluffball;82817]I've not found an answer as yet, are there certain resources and items that are only located in specific areas? If it's yes then would that effect their value or potential use as a form of currency? (and is it a worthwhile project to map locations of resources/items/geology, I have a cartographic interest.. I have seen maps of zones/terrain but not what's where, including settlements etc.. H&H has an impressive map, maybe Xsyon needs one too?).[/QUOTE]

As far as anyone's been able to ascertain, there are no regional resources at this time. All resources appear to be available at all points across the map.
