<!-- :*Wurm has (Hint) Most objects when placed on the ground will point north by default. For example a magnetic sword's blade will point north, as will the business end of most tools. A compass is '''not''' one of those objects, it is rotated 90 degrees and points west. -->

* The compass gradually becomes unstable while moving and stabilizes again while standing still. While the compass is unstable the direction cannot be seen.
* The quality of the compass affects stability.
* A fully unstable compass will become readable in about 2 seconds at QL 70, 10 seconds at QL 30, and 20 seconds at QL 1. Starter compasses are at 30 10 ql, so they take 10 16 seconds to become readable.* A compass remains stable for longer at higher quality (when you begin to move, a QL 30 compass becomes unreadable after about 2 seconds, a QL 70 compass lasts about 7 seconds).
* Stopping just after the compass becomes unstable will allow it to recover quicker (the compass was not fully unstable).
* [[WoA]] affects the speed of recovery.
* Compasses decay very rapidly, so should always be stored in inventory.
* Upon adding a new compass to the inventory, even with the previous one removed, the old GUI may remain. To correct this remove all compasses from the inventory and re-take the intended one.
== Creation Details ==
The production of compasses goes in 2 stages: Making unfinished ones using [[pottery jar]]s and [[olive oil]], and finishing them with an a [[needle]].
