Minimap

The Minimap is a miniature version of the game map used to ease navigation around the game world. The minimap is located in the top right corner of the game window. Opening it shows a detailed map of the county in which the game world is currently centered. There are many useful functions included in the minimap, which allow players to easily find towns, forts, quest givers, and job locations.

Minimap Functionality

-The drop-down list on the right shows all [[Jobs]] which you can currently see based on your [[Jobs#Labor_points|Labor Points]] and level. If your LP are too low, the job will not be visible. If you change gear to see a job you couldn't see before, you must refresh to add any new jobs to the list. Selecting a job shows all of that job's locations in the county on the Minimap with a light blue dot.
-==Micro Map==
-The micro map is the small map in the lower right corner. It shows the location of the county being viewed in the Minimap in relation to the rest of the counties in the world. Moving the cursor over each county shows its name, if any. You and your town are also shown on the micro map with a yellow and blue dot respectively. Your location doesn't automatically update on the micro map without refreshing.
