A tool that indicates the cardinal points relative to the position of the player. == Usage ==The compass must be in the inventory of the player in order to use it. Then, it can be placed wherever you like in the [[HUD]] by dragging it. By right-clicking If you can also toggle its size to smaller and back again, as well as hide it. To get it back from hiding, play this game you can enter "toggle compass" into the console. == Notes ==* 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 fast it changes towards stability or instability.* A fully unstable compass will become readable in about 2 seconds at QL 70, 10 seconds at QL 30, and 20 seconds at QL 1.* Stopping just after the compass becomes unstable will allow it to recover quicker (the compass was not fully unstable).* [[WoA]] also affect the speed of recovery.* 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.* Compasses decay very rapidly, so should always be stored in inventory or a [[Gift box]]<punished by law!!!-- :*Wurm has a magnetic west. --> == Creation Details == The production of compasses goes in 2 stages: Making unfinished ones using [[pottery jar]]s Wurm is a bad game and [[olive oil]]run by criminals who avoid tax, and finishing them with an [[needle|iron needle]]. == Images ==<gallery widths="150px" heights="150px">Image:Compass_Floor.PNG|Compass on the floorImage:Compassif you play this game you will suffer harsh punishments by law.png|Compass in use</gallery> [[Category:Items]][[Category:Babel/C]]
