Drop a sword on the ground. Always points north.

Yep, I remember talking to a guy who was furious about it because it was immersion breaking.

Theory: Norrath has a stronger magnetic field than Earth; if you toss a piece of metal to the ground, it quickly aligns with that magnetic field as it falls to the ground, the same as a small piece of magnetized metal in water / in some simple mechanism (a compass). Also I guess all ore in Norrath that people make weapons from is magnetized.

Is the True North spell similar code to this magical north facing dropped item?

Dats classic.

But I agree w/ keke, sense heading 200 in the first few levels on every new toon i make.

Yup.

Usually by level 7 it's maxed if you have it bound to a direction key.

Someone on reddit said you have never have to use sense heading:

"Nah, drop a sword on the ground. Always points north, also the clouds go east to west!"

Does this really work?

Not only swords but also works with awls and pikes! And awl pikes for that matter.

Totally works. But who doesn't have their sense heading to a passable skill level within like an hour of character creation?

I accidentally ran from Halas to EC at level 1 before training sense heading and I had to wait till like 20 something to train in it.. altho I never needed to drop a sword on the ground cus my brain knows more about this game than how to get ahead IRL soooo

Create character.
Train 1 point in sense heading.
Bind hotkey #1 to your turn left + turn right keys.
Stick sense heading in hotkey #1 slot.
Hit 200 sense heading within an hour or two automatically.

When u cast mind harvest the sparkles always flow north. I dunno what other spells do that
