The Navigator

The Navigator is something that seemingly doesn't help much, unless you know how to properly use it. The developers gave the navigator quite a few functions, although I don't think there's any emphasis on how to use them.

The Basics -

 There are 4 types of dots:

- Monsters are yellow/orange.

- NPC's are blue/purple.

- Other players are white.

- Quests are black and yellow.

You can hover over a dot to get more information about it.

1. This is where your filter drop-down menu is located.

2. The Zoom-in and Zoom-out buttons are located here.

Filters  - 

there are 4 types of filters:

- NPC (any NPC's -- they don't have to be part of a quest for you)

- Player (Players aside from you)

- Monster (Monsters nearby)

- Party (Players currently in your party)

With these four options you can filter your mini-map to help you with tasks such as:

• Finding a party member in a crowded town (uncheck Player and/or NPC)
• Checking and see if party members are AFK above you while you're training ( uncheck all but Party)
• Find NPC's in a crowded area (uncheck player and/or monster depending on location)
• Scout for a partner in a crowded area(uncheck all but player)
• etc..

Lastly, there's another really nice feature to your navigator (which also works really well with your filters). If the navigator is right-clicked, a list of nearby NPC's will appear.

By selecting an item from the list, an arrow will guide you to the NPC, as well as it being marked on your map.

Hope this helps you along your journey!
