:* The compass gradually becomes unstable while moving, and stabilizes while standing still. When the compass is too unstable it can't be used.*The quality of the compass affects how long fast it takes to disappear when moving and how long it takes to reappear when standing stillchanges towards stability or instability.:*While you are moving, the A QL 1 compass will disappear become unreadable almost immediately, QL 30 after a time. At QL1, this time is negligible. At QL30, this time is approximately 2 seconds. At QL70, this time is and QL 70 after 10 seconds. At QL99, if it were possible, this time would be 20 seconds.:*When you have stopped, the A fully unstable compass will appear after a time. At QL1, this time is 20 become readable in about 2 seconds. At QL30at QL 70, this time is 10 seconds. At QL70at QL 30, this time is 2 and 20 seconds. At QL99, were it possible, this time would be negligibleat QL 1.:*A finished compass cannot be improved. Your best bet is to use high quality components to make it. Additionally they can't be repaired, other than with the [[mend]] spell.
