Greetings, dear reader. Do you struggle with navigation? Are you a zoomer who can’t find a place without a GPS? Do you cry nightly about the lack of beautiful men and women who adore you for being able to sail at night in a roblox game? Well, do I have the post for you!
Step One: Learn To Read A Compass
The Compass, despite how it may seem, is actually incredibly simple.
See this? This always points to north, no matter what.
Facing East? Your compass will look this this.
Your compass is based on where your camera is aiming, not your character. Keep that in mind if you’re using it while sailing.
Step Two: Learn to read a map
If you were born within this century, it is possible, though hilarious, that you’ve never used a paper map in your entire life. I promise you, it’s far more simple than it appears.
Here I am at Sailor’s Lodge. I want to go to the Forest of Cernunno to farm for drops, but alas! It’s dark as hell and I can’t see the island.
This is where this lovely little map comes in!
Of course, if I wanted to I could sail directly to it, but maybe I’ll get lost or slightly misread my compass and miss it in the night!
Thus, a simpler solution, use only cardinal directions and orient myself around islands I know the location of!
You can do this with every location in the game! Large islands like Ravenna make this simple by giving you a large variety of landmarks to go north from, for example.
Even if you find yourself slightly off course, you can adjust to go the direction you know you should be going, and watch for it in the dark or fog.
If you need aid with making a route, it really is as simple as finding where you want to go on your map and drawing a straight line to it with your location! If you need to find your location, use a landmark! The map is detailed enough that I know, for example, I’m right here in my example screenshot if I look around.
