So it seems that olive oil and jar ql has the biggest impact on creating a compass. However, I did have a compass just 20 ql from adding a 68ql needle so having all components be high ql is important. | So it seems that olive oil and jar ql has the biggest impact on creating a compass.

Are the materials used confirmed? --Ketza 10:56, 27 June 2006 (CDT)
- Past confirmed. Made an 8.1QL compass using 1.9W olive oil (incidentally the amount a pottery jar holds), a pottery jar, and a needle. --Joshu 06:36, 28 June 2006 (CDT)
This was at the end of the page:
Thunderstruck :D note:Sry its fucked up it was late at night and cant be F***ed fixing it
Olive Oil Amount
Someone please doublecheck the amount of oil a compass uses - I used 1.9kg, it may just use all available oil above a certain weight, in which case a decanting method to minimize oil overusage should be outlined somewhere on this page.
heh. I used 0.1 --Uzetaab 10:01, 28 June 2006 (CDT)
It seems that the amount of oil used has been changed. No matter how much oil you activate, it only uses 0.06kg of it. Discon 06:05, 13 March 2007 (CDT)
If you put one potato and one corn in a Pottery Flask and add oil it will give you exactly 0.06kg of oil. Usefull to minimize waste if you ruin oil with low ql experiments. -- Schwanke
skills involved?
Anyone know what skills are involved in making the compass? I doubt it purely depends on the ql of the needle and the unfinished compass.

Notes to add
I used 24 50 ql jars and varying olive oil and needle ql and came to the following conclusions:
- Unfinished compasses come out at different weights.
- Olive oil affect the initial creation percent as well as the unfinished compass ql.
- An unfinished compass will never come out more than double the ql of the olive oil and never higher than the jar ql.
- Adding a needle will add a random amount of needle ql to the compass.
So it seems that olive oil and jar ql has the biggest impact on creating a compass. However, I did have a compass just 20 ql from adding a 68ql needle so having all components be high ql is important.
Can anyone else confirm or deny any of this as well? I will do further testing as well.
