Co-ordinatesFollow

I see for people and things co-ordinates are listed yet I seem to be terrible using the ones by the north arrow. Is there a better way to follow them?

I don't know what you mean by the north arrow either. To use the coordinates, enter /waypoint x,y,z (where x,y,z are the three coordinates listed) in your chat window. If there are only two coordinates use zero for the middle coordinate.

This will bring up a dot on your map of the location; your chat window will say something like "your destination is to the north and east of you"; and when you are close enough a glowing gold trail will guide you in.

To obtain a coordinate for an object or mob, get as close as possible to it and type /loc (short for location).

Ah, there's the confusion. They're the x, y, and z axis on a three-dimensional model. You have 3 dimensions because of hills and valleys and dungeons with more than one level. Ah, found the documentation on it: Template:EQ2 Loc

In your chat window type /way -85.15, -11.54, 42.64

(/way is short for /waypoint. /loc will give you the coordinates of where you are, not where you're going!).



edit: PS, on that link, the stuff below the image is just documentation on our wiki loc template, lol.

Dont worry about asking questions. It's what we're here for, and we all started the same way, brand new I think we would all rather you ask questions than to fumble around on your own and get frustrated.

Another easy way to type coords, is to not worry about the entire full number. In other words, if coords write out as -23.25 00.00 837.38 just type /way -23 00 837
