What do you do if you're lost?

[Dancook]

Is there a simple solution to being lost ?

I am currently wandering around Dangruf Wadi, with no map. I think I'm going in circles.

What do people generally do if they're lost? keep going? die?

I like exploring, but it seems like it takes ages to get anywhere... and the further i go .. the further i go from home when i get full bags.

I got stuck in Wadi once myself, many years ago. I died trying to find my way out and homepoint back to town eventually.

Now tho, I think it's easiest to just carry a warp scroll.

Death warp is your friend in that situation

How does the warp scroll work?

Is that one I buy with conquest points? if so isn't it about 750 pts or something? can it be used more than once?

Ok scroll of instant warp is black magic, but can only a black mage use it? I am a warrior

Scroll of instant warp is a conquest item. Every job can use it. It casts warp on you once and gone. I always carry 1 with me everywhere I go every job I use.

750 conquest points seems a lot / for a once only item

i've had 2100 conquest points up to level 12, spent 1000 on the empress band

Use <pos> to see where you are.

Useful map

Re: What do you do if you're lost?

I keep going until I either die or kill everything in the zone while trying to get out.

Ahhh, the good old days of not having a map, being lvl 20 with a new choco license, and thinking that the Sanctuary of Zi'tah sounded like a cool place to go.

Best part about getting lost? You can really work on your aggro avoidance skills.

The best thing to do when lost is to avoid getting lost in the first place, if you are going to explore in a closed in area I would recommend being systematic about it. Maybe only make all left turns whenever you can or something like that.

Here is a list of all the map dealers:

Some maps have to be quested, and cannot be bought though. A good site for quests and general info would be that mysterytour website.

well if i'm lost without a map, i just use the maps on ffxi-atlas and <pos> to work my way out.

Even with a map I get lost. ._. Esp in the new areas and what not. My least favorite place to get lost is the jungles. Map or no I'm 100% garantee'd to get myself lost.

or you can buy a Bone Chip from the AH and trade it to the psychotic old man standing on the left of the bridge before you go to the Bastok Mine. He'll give you a map to Dangruf Wadi.

I got lost in there once, but I was lucky enough to find a nice person to lead me back to the zone. Shortly thereafter, I found out how to get the map.

Re: What do you do if you're lost?

What I used to do before I had that map was remeber the <pos> of the entrance/exit, and then when I got lost/wanted to leave, I'd just continuously send myself /tells of my <pos>. If the number of my <pos> was higher than the <pos> of the exit, I'd go north. If the letter of my position was farther in the alphabet than the entrance, I'd head west.

Took some time, but it usually almost always got me out alive.
