Not sure what is confusing you herewe are having a discussion….this has nothing to do with anything at all. The wizard learned how to cast spells, the sailor knows a thing or two about ships, the criminal made contacts with the local thieves guild. What does any of this have to do with them knowing ship routes on worlds they most likely did not even know existed?</blockquote>
