Hey, so the map system is actually pretty straightforward once you get used to it. Just hit g and youll see your position show up as a yellow dot, which makes life so much easier when youre trying to find your way around. I really like using the grid coordinates when im playing with friends, since you can just call out something like "meet at h14" and everyone knows exactly where to go.
The controls are pretty intuitive you can zoom in and out with your mouse wheel, and if you need to look around just right click and drag. Been playing for a while and i found that keeping track of teammates is super simple since they show up as green markers, which is really helpful when youre trying to regroup after a fight or gathering run.
Good to know one thing thats pretty cool is that some servers have these extra features like custom waypoints, and if youre lucky enough to find one with a live map system you can actually track positions through your browser. Really comes in handy when youre coordinating with your group. Between all the monuments and roads scattered around, plus the grid system, its pretty hard to get lost these days just keep an eye on those landmarks and youll be fine!

farming locations are highly preferred like those safe quarries. i cant really buy or trade atm because i just started playing and still getting familiar with the game. i probably would enjoy exploring a little more instead of straight up buying
