=== Do's and Don'ts for making maps === * DO use a potion or spell to shrink yourself. The smaller you are the closer you can get to the location of the wall or object you are mapping out. * DON'T use illusions. When you use illusions in combination with shrinking too close to zone boundaries or objects, you can sometimes get stuck. * DO Duck! Ducking can be your friend when mapping. Ducking helps you slow down. Some buildings have many turns to them so you'll want to go as slow as possible when mapping those areas. * DON'T Run! Slow down, you're moving too fast! Turn off run, cancel speed spells, etc. If you move too fast, you won't catch the details of buildings, terrain, etc. However, if you are mapping a dangerous area, you may want to skip trying to put in too many details. * DO use invisibility β Being a cartographer can be a dangerous task. You'll want to use some form of invisibility to map out locations. However, this may not always be possible. * DON'T use levitation. See height filter above! * DO save often. There's nothing worse than click click clicking your way around adding points, lines and labels and then you lose it all because you didn't save it. * DON'T Gate without ending lines or saving.
