Features
| Addition | What it does | How to craft or place |
|---|---|---|
| Compass | A one-handed item that displays a round compass dial with a red needle pointing north. It can be equipped with a shield, has no combat stats, and has no usable actions. | Craft at a workbench: 2 Fine Wood and 2 Copper. |
| Mead of Haldor | Drink to turn your camera toward Haldor: the already-spawned vendor if there is one, otherwise the nearest possible spawn. Works with or without the map. | Brew the Mead base of Haldor at a Mead Ketill (3 Greydwarf Trophy, 30 Carrot, 30 Thistle, 30 Blueberries), then ferment it: 1 base gives 3 meads. |
| Mead of the Bog Witch | Same as above, toward the Bog Witch. | Mead base at a Mead Ketill: 3 Draugr Trophy, 30 Turnip, 30 Thistle, 30 Guck; then ferment (3 meads). |
| Mead of Hildir | Same as above, toward Hildir. | Mead base at a Mead Ketill: 3 Fuling Trophy, 30 Onion, 30 Thistle, 30 Cloudberries; then ferment (3 meads). |
| Mead of the Forge of Potential | Same as above, toward the Forge of Potential. | Mead base at a Mead Ketill: 3 Wolf Trophy, 1 Dragon Egg, 30 Crystal, 30 Thistle; then ferment (3 meads). |
The locator meads are consumed when drunk and use the default fermentation time. Each base makes 3 meads, one per trophy.
The HUD can be configured to show only while the Compass is equipped or whenever it is in the inventory.
