Guild Wars 2

Once in the Black Citadel and you have talked to the NPC and are now directed to talk to Ignavus Ridgerunner in Fireheart Rise; the content guide directs you to the portal to Lion’s Arch. However it makes no sense to go there when you can go north out of the Black Citadel through Diessa Plateau into the south of Fireheart Rise. Since the content guide is designed to direct players who haven’t already been to the location needed for the item being directed to; taking the portal to Lion’s Arch to get to Fireheart Rise would be a longer trip than going north out of the Black Citadel.

There isn’t a direct entrance from Diessa to Fireheart, you’d have to go from Diessa to Wayfarer into Frostgorge and then into Fireheart.

Sorry that is what I meant I just missed the taking the corners half roundabout kind of path part. The route going out the north portal to your destination for this is shorter than going the way the content guild directs you. In fact the virtual distance traveled is almost twice as far to take the route the content guide directs.
