Talk:Celestial Compass

Victory
Offhand users everywhere salute you, ANET. For once we have an object we can be proud of holding (or floating next to our hand in spacial stasis...) Grats and very nice work to the artist.

Wow.
 * This focus looks really nice. -AyaStowar
 * "Really nice" is an understatement. It looks AWESOME. --Mme. Donelle 05:36, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * YES, finally they added a nice offhand! :D --Lundis 12:17, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Animated?
is this animated? Noxify
 * People on Guru say yes. 128.82.11.191 06:02, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

And this focus if for...? Monk, Mesmer, Ele...? Anyway, nice disign! --Belinda 13:36, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * It's animated (small circles spin), and it seems to drop in all attributes. ~ [[Image:User PaeSig.gif]] | Pae - Talk | 04:39, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

FFX maybe?
is it just me or looks like its taken from Final Fantasy! oO 86.62.250.4 09:36, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * yeah, does look like something Yuna would wear in FFX, maybe just a coincidence though Slaphead Monk
 * If you guys still want to know, send me a message and I'll ask Tony the next time I see him.--Yankeefan984 00:09, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * The only FF game I've played was FF Legends. I didn't really take inspiration from anywhere in particular. Honestly It's just a circle with 3 circles in it, wasn't that hard to come up with, lol.--Darksun 03:53, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

look familiar?
- what an odd coincidence, maybe that is where the designer took his inspiration. -- Lemming 12:10, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * That can't be, the contest was before the release of eotn ;) 217.123.100.130 14:53, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Maybe Anet's design team took their inspiration from this offhand :) Arduinna  [[Image:User_Arduinna_Companionship.jpg|15px|talk]] 12:10, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Attributes
Got one linked to Water Magic - Kiji 23:24, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Divine Favor one here ~ [[Image:User PaeSig.gif]] | Pae - Talk | 04:39, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Ive had death magic, fire magic, air magic, and channeling magic, they come in all attributes ^^ C4K3 [[Image:User_C4K3_Signature.jpg]] Talk 19:05, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Dye
Does anyone know if dye affects it?--Hyprodimus Prime 18:58, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Dye does affect it. ~ [[Image:User PaeSig.gif]] | Pae - Talk | 04:39, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Drop Locations
So there are tons and tons of threads/posts on Guru about how nobody has seen them drop from the Dadala Uplands chests. A few people turn up every few pages to say keep looking, but no proof. I'd say we remove from here and the other wiki and call it a day, especially since the other drop locations seem far more appropriate. 68.19.126.15 10:43, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

ugly
pretty much, i'd never use this shit --Blood Anthem  02:40, 6 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I think it looks awesome.--[[Image:User_Sander_Sig_Icon2.png|15px]] Sander 16:59, 14 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you for expressing your opinion about the looks of the item here. It is by far one of the best contributions to the wiki I have seen so far. So again, thank you. Saphatorael 18:07, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * But ye it is ugly not because of the design, but because when you look at it in profile it's super thin. It has no thickness whatsoever. That's just yucky. 78.2.4.47 17:34, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Well i personally think its sexy but i hope they start adding depth the weapons and offhands soon as the paper wafer thin thingy is weird. -- Salome [[Image:User_salome_sig.png|19px]] 18:16, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Its so tiny, my Flame Artifact looks better, although if they made this into a shield, i think id prefer this over my torm shield C4K3 [[Image:User_C4K3_Signature.jpg]] Talk 19:05, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

IRL
yay :P &mdash;Zerpha The Improver 12:44, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Nice, But..
Its way too small, i bought my ele one and sold it shortly afterwards cause i could hardly see it Dmilne798 07:09, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

How much is the r9 healing? &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 99.244.204.77 (talk &bull; contribs) at 00:35, 5 December 2008 (UTC).
 * Other fansites may help you with price-checking; that's not really what the wiki's for. -- [[Image:User Brains12 Spiral.png|18px|]] Brains12 \ talk 00:39, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Phantasy Star Online
I know people are actually thinking Final Fantasy, but this looks way too close to the runecircles in Phantasy Star Online, which also has a very similar shield in that game.-- Norrukki  20:39, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Nope, never played PSO. I just came up with the design on paper. Wasn't thinking of anything in particular.--Darksun 03:55, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Where did this come from?
"The top circle on the compass is always pointed towards the Hall of Heroes." Any references for this statement? 72.145.116.61 06:17, 7 January 2009 (UTC)


 * It is possible. There are skills that have animations that face to the north in EOTN. Due to the price however, I cannot personally test. I'll see who I can get a hold of to test this. -- Norrukki [[Image:User_Norrukki_SigIcon.png|19px]] 06:59, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
 * The Hall of Heroes has a physical location in Tyria? I thought it was in The Mists. There are entrances in Tyria, sure, but iirc those are just portal type thingys. Ashes Of Doom [[Image:User_Ashes_Of_Doom_ursansig.jpg|Talk]] 02:09, 12 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I do have one, I tested it. It points the same direction. One screen outside the Eye of the North, the other in the Ring of Fire.

--Hyprodimus Prime 08:50, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not to sure what I'm supposed to be looking at. Do you mean it points upwards on both screens? 145.94.74.23 08:45, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not getting it either. Maybe I ought to buy one to see it for myself :S -- Arduinna [[Image:User_Arduinna_Companionship.jpg|15px|talk]] 08:55, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I got one and there is no co-relation. lol DarkMugen 00:46, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Structure outside Rata Sum
The Celestial Compass looks exactly like the thing in the middle of the structure outside Rata Sum.

 * That thing has 4 circular pictures in it, the Compass only 3. -- Arduinna [[Image:User_Arduinna_Companionship.jpg|15px|talk]] 08:52, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Clipping
Am I the only one who see the compass glow disappear when its infront of the cape? --Aartist21 21:01, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Im not seeing any clipping errors, but im seeing the actual glowing parts of the compass disappear when in front of certain types of armor. On my sin, the glowing blue of the bottom half disappears when it's in front of imperial or canthan armor, but is fine in front of monument armor. It's really odd :O  П  ALANA  00:25, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Celestial Navbar
Should we add it to the celestial navabar, even if just for navigation purposes? 145.94.74.23 07:01, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Size
Perhaps we should add a screenshot of this where you can see the entire character, just to show the size, since its so small C4K3 Talk 19:05, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Seems like a good idea, but you might want to crop it a bit, so it only shows the character. Thrain[[File:User_Thrain_Sig.png]] contribs 04:09, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

clipping?
is it considered clipping or a glitch that the shiny blue thingys that float...idk what you would call them...glyphs?....that they dont show up when the cape is in the background of the compass?AurenX 03:56, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Maybe upload a screenshot so we can see what you mean? Pariah [[File:User Pariah Pariahmoa.png]] talk  04:42, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

that work?AurenX 03:23, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Its just issues with foreground and backround, like if you have a fire djinn summon then go near a puddle outside Kaineng, the Fire Djinn looks like its Behind the puddle when its in the same place all along-- Nei l2250  ,    Render Lord User Neil2250 sig icon6.png 17:01, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Still a visual bug, isn't it? --Kyoshi (Talk) [[File:User Kyoshi sig.png]] 17:06, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Send it to the bug report section and then wait 6 months/forever and it will be fixed presto Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ аІiсә  [[File:User Aliceandsven 2.png]]  ѕνәи  Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ 04:18, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Restore Conditions and the scion from Tomb Raider come to mind.
