Ley line sensing (direction to Ring)

[Ervyn]

A cheap, newbie-capable idea for finding where you are in the world- make an item with hearth magic (can you currently use it for anything other than hearth fires and dowsing rods?) that points to the center of the map (I assume the Ring of Brodgar) and explain it in game as the ring is placed on a conjunction of ley lines, making it easy to find.

I find myself in the wilderness (I didn't know the meaning of the ladder/trapdoor, so I went up the ladder) and I've built myself a little farm, but it would be nice to have SOME idea where I am in the world to make it easier to find trading partners.

Use the dowsing rod code, no need to write anything new except another item and recipe.

(this whole idea depends on there still being a ring and it being in the center, I've seen references to it but don't know if the current world iteration has one)

I don't think there's a RoB still, but maybe some statue (hint hint) so it could point thar

There's still a Ring of Brodgar, it's decayed a bit trough .

[Granger]

This idea would actually make sense.

It's New Brodgar, is it not? Well... not anymore anyway, but that's one of the majestic things about this game you DON'T know where you are.

that's one of the majestic things about this game you DON'T know where you are.

Until you walk directly under walls of Sodom.

And then you know exactly where you are and go on with your life.

It is called ring of pancake!!!! cheez now i gotta spam this like i spammed it's sodom !!!

[Ziabatsu]

I support this idea. I was going to suggest that we call it Astronomy and tie it to the map making skill somehow, either as a prerequisite or subsequent skill.

I feel it would encourage trade for the smaller people, because I know the biggest trouble I'm having right now is finding a living village.
