Any tips for running down lords?

[annallia]

Ok so trying to complete Neretzes folly. Decided on best way to go about it was to talk to a noble, then chase down whoever he pointed me to. This went well for the first few then I got to King Derthert. I checked and it said he was at Sargot. Thought nothing of it short trip from where I was. I get there and he is nowhere to be found. Look him up again and it says he is at Pravend. Ok so head to Pravend keeping an eye out for him. Get there and he is gone again, check again and now he is off at some castle that not only would he have had to directly pass by me to get to but is half way across the damned map.

He isn't the only one who seems a little evasive either. Monchug and Lucon I only tracked down because their armies got stopped by a battle, I sat and waited for the battle to end then ran in to talk to them.


Is there a better way to do this? Or am I going to have to just say to hell with it and start teleporting around the map?

If you really need a specific lord, there's no other way w.o. cheating.
Else why not just run around the map while trading and pick some lords while running?

That is the way I normally did it, I was trying to find a faster way by targeting specific lords.


That being said, I eventually solved it by just sitting in Sargot. Once I realized he was making a loop from Sargot to Pravend to the castle whos name I forgot (some castle he took in a war). Eventually we both wound up in Sargot at the same time.

At least there's no time limit for the main quest. I don't even bother looking anymore and just talk to the lords when I happen to run into them. Its worse with some of the lord quests, like the one to buy horses, which does have a deadline. It seems that lords never stop moving so its a real challenge finding them before the quest runs out. I wish they'd hang out in their fiefs more instead of constantly being on the move.

Don't look for them, just play the game and talk with them when you see one

I had the same thing with Rhagaea, she didn't seem to have a party with her. It seems they cycle through each of their fiefs day by day. I eventually got to speak to her by waiting in one of her cities and checking the keep/encyclopedia every day until she arrived.
