IGN.com: Zana, Master Cartographer Reveal and Developer Walkthrough
"It's more than just a free Daily, you can only use the Crafting Benches of the ones in your Hideout, thus you're limited in what you can do. (I'm not sure if Masters found in the wild have Benches or not, but even if they did, that is random and no guarantee.) I just hope Zana sells nothing but cheap Strand Maps. Then I'd be happy... :P Strand best Map NZ. YOSO, You Only Strand Once. 24/7. IGN: Golem_Antsy, Harvest Last edited by Sheriff_K#3938 on Aug 18, 2014, 8:04:31 PM

" As stated already, your number is just a -tiny- bit off and you can have 4 Masters. Plus, let's face, when all is said and the 'math' has been done there will be an 'optimal' line up of Masters depending on what builds you like to focus on, etc, etc, and there will very likely be a set of 4 that will all be 'mandatory'. As far as everyone choosing her, good. Maybe that will mean more maps and related stuff injected into the 'economy' and map prices will come down. Less bullshit gating of experience behind in-game pay walls and more to where it should be...time and time alone for leveling. |

" No, you can use all crafting benches, regardless of what Masters are in your hideout. Masters in your hideout give you daily quests, which is the only benefit of having them in your hideout (and you can buy from them without having to find them). | |
" Just to make sure we are on the same page, the limit of four is in those that you can have active in your hideout. As I understood it, you can pretty much change who is active at will. You can actually get max reputation with all seven masters, it's even one of the challenges. So in reality, MadBro is upset over something that doesn't exist, unless I am incorrect about my information. |

I was expecting Upper Sceptre tileset, I guess Solaris is nice too.. :P
I can't decide what I'll use... Battlefront or Library Hideout... :S I want Vagan's wagon-hut-shop thingies though, so cool, very bazaar/Diablo feel to it. :) Edit: You guys sure you can use Benches of Masters not in your Hideout? And @above, I think there's a penalty for changing Masters, because they don't want it to be easy to max out all of them.

" Chris confirmed it on Reddit a couple days ago. Dan had linked to it from a thread in General Discussion. Don't have the link handy, but yes, apparently you can use all workbenches in your hideout even if the associated Master is not present. So the advantages of having one in your hideout is that you get the daily quest (faster reputation) and can shop from them more easily. edit: Found the link: http://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/2cdaw6/am_i_getting_this_correct_about_masters_and/ Last edited by Mivo#2486 on Aug 18, 2014, 8:36:10 PM

Having a map vendor is probably the lately best choice regarding gameplay; not only the easiness of not having to go through the lab, tho, also fixing the meeps play-economy.
My opinion on the expansion just changed, not beeing a big fan of crafting-only rewards, this is the Master I was w8ing for. S m a r t M o v e. Back to The Melee (Reaving Insight): view-thread/1240462

I wonder how much blizz is paying that CyberKlown28 to blatantly lie about PoE and D3 in IGN comment sections.
eh, probably the usual 5bucks. EDIT: Zana best master, loved the explanation video too, nice to see there will be quite the variety for our hideouts. Oblivious Last edited by Disrupted#3096 on Aug 18, 2014, 8:23:04 PM

" Only for the nemesis one Rare mobs every pack... hmm... And considering this is converted to X league and we've seen headhunter in a previous picture... I think league-only uniques will drop in those maps. Oblivious
