Why blacksmiths and armorers no longer appear in the World Map?
In the beginning of the game, Blacksmiths and Armorers used to appear on the World Map, however for a while now they don't appear there anymore, just on the mini-map when they're nearby, which isn't very useful.
Why did it happen? Is there a way to bring them back?
If it matters, I'm playing the PS4 version.
