}}[[CDB|Main]] / [[Skills]] / [[Miscellaneous items]] / '''{{PAGENAME}}''' ''A rudimentary compass, made from a needle floating in oil on a piece of wood in a jar.''

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 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 it's accuracystability. * A low quality 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.* Stopping just after the compass becomes unstable will allow it to recover quicker (the compass can vary by as much as 45 degreeswas not fully unstable).* [[WoA]] affects the speed of recovery.:*A finished compass cannot be improved. Your best bet is to , use high quality components to make itcraft to get better quality end products. Additionally they can't be repaired, other than with the [[mend]] spell.* 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.

By [[Player:Vean|Vean]] The production of compasses goes in 2 stages: Making unfinished ones using [[pottery jars jar]]s and [[olive oil]], and finishing them with an iron [[needle]].  In the first stage, the maximum QL of the unfinished compass is:  QL of jar/3 = max QL of unfinished compass  For example, if you're using a QL60 jar, the maximum QL of the resultant unfinished compass will be QL20. The QL of the olive oil used seems to only increase the success rate of making the unfinished compass, as well as the chance of making an unfinished compass of maximum QL.  In the second stage, the maximum QL of the finished compass produced by attaching the iron needle to the unfinished compass is:  QL of unfinished compass + ( QL of needle / 2 ) For example, using a QL20 unfinished compass and a QL70 iron needle, the maximum QL of the finished compass will be QL55.  General notes:  Note 1.  Test has been performed on avatar with over 63 in miscellaneous skill, that skill seems to be responsible for overall success ratio making compasses
