A tool that indicates the cardinal points relative to the position of the player.
== Usage ==
The compass must be in the inventory (or a container within) of the player in order to use it. Then, it can be placed wherever you like in the [[HUD]].
The GUI window may be placed anywhere on the [[HUD]] by dragging it around. By right-clicking it may also be made smaller (and back to large again), as well as be hidden completely. To get it back from being hidden the console - {{key|F1}} - command '''toggle compass''' may be used, or toggled from the [[Main menu]].== Method Notes ==:*Activate 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 olive oil then right click on 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 10 ql, so they take 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.* A finished compass cannot be improved, use high quality components to craft to get better quality end products. Additionally they can't be repaired, other than with the [[Pottery Jarmend]] and select Create -> Compassspell.* Compasses decay very rapidly, so should always be stored in inventory.:*Activate Upon adding a new compass to the needle inventory, even with the previous one removed, the old GUI may remain. To correct this remove all compasses from the inventory and rightre-click take the intended one.* (Hint) Most objects when placed on the ground will point north by default. For example a sword's blade will point north, as will the business end of most tools. A compass is '''not'Unfinished compass'' one of those objects, it is rotated 90 degrees and select continuepoints west.
