Considering the location of the item that Pelagor told Lex about, he had to change his plan somewhat. He had to settle for grabbing nearby resources instead of the most optimal ones, and the route had to be adjusted to accommodate the search for nearby Dao materials.
Pelagor was already proving to be useful for he was intimately familiar with the terrain of the Hollow, he helped Lex plan a route that avoided obstacles that would consume more time.
He had a few more tips he offered which could help them save time, but they weren't really applicable to Lex since he would be devouring all nearby resources while they traveled, making it impossible to hide or avoid attention.
