* Learn the different ranges for that aggressive monsters will notice you at. Other modifiers such as 'alert', or 'slow' change this somewhat.
* If you are completely lost, do not panic. You are now truely exploring.
* The easiest way to find North or South is to press F7, get the wind direction, and look at a grass tile. The way the grass is being blown will give the direction the wind is blowing. You should be able to work out the direction of North or South from this.
And the final tip:
* Be prepared to lose '''EVERYTHING''' you are carrying if you do this. Often finding the ''exact'' place you died is difficult, even for seasoned adventurers and can take hours. Don't carry anything you can't stand to lose.
