WTF are the Green Map Markers. I know tht it gets used the ONE time in the start when you get you Adventurers Coupon but after that its just kind of a waste of space.
SE's Q&A has proven to be as useless as ever providing an anser to this enigma. Ive asked many In-Game and on various forums up to this point to solve the mystery. . .all have come short of expectations to say the least(Especially when I get the reply "What green Markers")
But seriously what are they, how are they used if at all, why are they there. Im going nutz  just trying to figure them out.

In Ordelles Caves when I did a big RSE hunt, I marked down the locations of all of the chests using the green markers.
It's the RED ones you can't just use to mark stuff on the map.  Oyoyu

It'd be nice if we could at least use those markers to mark points on our maps like we could the redish purple ones. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 05-22-2006, 12:47 AM | #12 (permalink) | | ONE LIFE Oracle of Knowledge Join Date: Oct 2004 Posts: 6,797 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 1,675 Thanked 1,484x in 1,039 Posts Gil: 22,217 Bank: 403,109 Total Gil: 425,325 Donate | Re: Green Map Markers WTF are they Cactuar Needles, Sky Telepads, Map Markers, THF
I think SE just associates Green with uselessness.
In seriousness, I beleive they said that the "Green map markers were a good idea, but" they "Never really got around to using it". | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 05-22-2006, 06:22 AM | #13 (permalink) | | Brain of Knowledge Join Date: May 2006 Location: Colorado Posts: 1,558 Style: Light - Version 6 My Mood: Thanks: 162 Thanked 102x in 65 Posts Gil: 6,456 Bank: 41,089 Total Gil: 47,545 Donate | Re: Green Map Markers WTF are they | Originally Posted by Feba | Cactuar Needles, Sky Telepads, Map Markers, THF

Pretty sure the one in Yhoator Jungle I did had a green marker. I suspect they're reserved for quest markers, but they get taken advantage of so rarely it makes you wonder if SE even considered them when they started making new quests. There are a lot of quests where an NPC tells you exactly where to go, but when you open the map you get nothing. | Originally Posted by Igor | | You know, I'll never forget my old dad.
