how do i guide myself without maps?

[Grimjaw]

the classic approach: hug the left wall

[utenan]

you're supposed to use the cloth map that came in the ruins of kunark box

My box did not have said map [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I suppose it was only vanilla which did so?

An impeccable sense of direction

Yup. That's exactly how I used to give directions for people to join me. Left, right, left, 2nd right.

Really good spatial awareness (like City of Mist is about a 35 degree angle to the right from the TT zone, or 25 degrees left from the EJ port in spot) and specific landmarks like the broken pillar for Seb, or the right at the archway in Kael to get from EW to bank/WL zone.

Like real life, you just have to memorize the world and have a sense of where you were last you knew, and how long you have walked in what direction.

Use /loc and maps from the wiki when you get lost.

In 6 months you will be able to navigate the worst zones in your sleep. Give it time. Use P99 wiki for maps as a guide.

There's also this abomination: http://www.zlizeq.com/ZlizEQ_Projects-ZlizEQMap

This helped me a lot when I got started again. You wont need to use it long before you just learn the zones again. But places like Butcherblock still confuse me sometimes and this can help.
