Personal tip:
How do you get to the Candlewick Inn without a warp ticket?
First, you need to have a house that you can buy in the Candlewick Inn of A Shadow's Tale. If you then get lost and can no longer find your way to Edgewood, look at the bottom right of the screen. You will see a house, and you need to press on it. This will warp you back to your own house. After this, head down to the right towards the hole. Enter the Candlewick Inn again there.
