With a new character I made yesterday, the steps mostly auto fill if you did them prior to activating that journey. Some steps don’t, like killing and skinning a creature, but it seems most of the important things that are a real pain to duplicate, like “go unlock this piece of knowledge” or “put points into attributes” are auto unlocked when you start a journey that requires them.
This is for a new character though. I still need to load up my older one that started a month ago and check it again.
No fix yet, but my guess is ‘exiled lands’ specially refers to the area where character creation takes place. which is the SW of the map, outside of the current green wall.
Thanks. Mine is also locked and I would have never thought, that I have to go to the rock to unlock it.
All the other jurneys, you have to select, before starting them.
