The wilderness map of Medievia including the ocean is made up of an area 2000 x 2000 rooms. That's 4,000,000 rooms of wilderness
and ocean, that is an unbelievably massive area to cover if you are trying to get to a certain spot. Thankfully we can use coordinates
to get where we want to go.
At the center of the map sits the City of Medievia at the coordinates X1000 by Y1000, this will be the start point for most of your
complex navigations (more precisely recall).
A refresher of X and Y axes. The X axis is the horizontal (West to East) and the Y axis is the vertical (North to South). The coordinates
of the upper left corner of the map will be X0000 x Y0000 and the lower right corner will be X2000 x Y2000.
When flying by dragon to a specific set of coordinates you will need to translate those many hundreds of rooms into 'fly rooms'. Every
flight step a dragon takes is equal to 10 wilderness rooms. Therefore if you fly n 10 you are moving 100 rooms north.
Here is a practical example. The under ocean trade post 'Vryce's Necromancer Trading Shop' is located at the coordinates X0100 Y0150
Let's calculate from recall. As we know that Mediavia city recall is located at the coordinate X1000 x Y1000 we are able to do a simple
calculation to figure out how many rooms we need to fly.
- X: 1000 (recall) - 100 (trade post) = 900 rooms
- Y: 1000 (recall) - 150 (trade post) = 850 rooms
Now using our understanding of dragon flight we know we need to fly 90 rooms for X and 85 rooms for Y. As we are at the coordinates
X2000 x Y2000 and we know that Vryce's trade post is to the north and west we will be flying in those directions.
With all this knowledge we now know we need to fly 90 (900) rooms to the west (X) and 85 (850) rooms to the north (Y). So we will
type 'Fly w 90 n 85'. This will put us directly above the under ocean trade post. Remember that the axact middle point on our map is Recal
Being that dragons cannot swim your dragon will now circle the spot directed it to fly to. To enter the ocean type 'Fly Drop' you are
now floating at the coordinates X0100 x Y0150 directly above the trade post.
With your Aquoderm's Lung in your inventory cast breathe, if you dont you will slowly drown.
Hold your Kraken Bladder and type DD, you will rapidly descend 10 rooms at a time. Keep an eye on your breath and your movement
points doing this is exhausting! Once you are near the bottom you will no longer be able to use the bladder and you can move single
rooms as usual. Type list and you will see the trade goods this post can sell you.
With all this information you will now be able to locate and travel to any set of coordinates on the map be it on land or on the ocean.
Flying by dragon is not the only way to enter the ocean. You can of course walk in and out from the edge of the continent but you can also
"SHIP DIVE" - From the crows nest on a ship, this will put you in the ocean wherever the ship is currently located. You can also board
a ship by simply swimming up towards it.
The most common way of leaving the ocean especially if you have just collected a blood sword is to swim back up to the surface using
UU and U and calling a dragon. A dragon can only pick you up if you are on the surface.
