Compass is confusing to me >.<.

Orkishwarlock · 04-11-2008, 11:32 PM

For alot of quest helpers i read on the internet they give compass cordinates and i really dont know how to use it efficiently. If anyone could explain in detail what the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd cord increase/decrease by and how to use it efficiently that would be ausome =D. Thx much for reading and thx for responses.

if you see someone using the coordinate system -41, +55, 12 for example that is referring to the x,y,z axis. I belive x is east and west, y would be north and south, z would be vertical position. There is another way to use it the /waypoint command if you follow it up with the coordinates , /waypoint -41,55,12, it will show you on the map with an X and have the wisp trail show you if you are close enough.

Those coordinates are supposed to be used with the /waypoint (or /way for short) command.Just copy the coordinate, then type /way on the chat box and paste the coordinate there. Then an X will appear on your map and a orange glowing thing will appear in front of you, leading in the direction you need to go.For example, /way 595, 4, 318 will put an X on the map where Joleena's Restaurant is in Kelethin.

Thank you so much. that makes it so much easier to do these quests =D.

and just as an FYI, the center/second number is 'elevation.' As Barbai explains it, you would read the coord as 'x,z,y'

As mentioned, just use the /loc and /waypoint systems. Don't try to nav via the compass...you'll lose your mind.

Additionally, you can paste the waypoint directly into the map text box as well. And if you ever see coordinates that are just two numbers: 345, -50. Just insert a 0 for the elevation: 345,0,-50 and it will work.

Ya its X, Z, YX and Y tells you the location, like if you where on a piece of graph paper.Z tell you the height of the location, and the majority of the time tend to be pointless.
