In Soviet Russia, compass points you!

I got mine today from the daily.

2 seconds casting.

10 seconds CD on use.

Only can be used on your own character.

Kommentar von 157506

This is a possible reference to the Pirates of the Caribbean movie trilogy, in which Captain Jack Sparrow constantly uses a "broken" compass which points in any random direction.

...a must have item for any Bloodsail Admiral.

Kommentar von 254144

This item will probably get nerfed in 3.1.2 due it obviously being overpowered. I suspect we will see the cool down being raised to 25 seconds (up from 10 seconds) and only have an 80% chance to face you in a random direction.

Also it is not possible to abuse this anymore by having two or more in your inventory as they all share the same cool down.

Kommentar von 334961

10g for anyone who comes up with a creative way of using this piece of junk.

Kommentar von Nuhwoti

Easy. Surround yourself with some hot girls, and use the compass to play spin the bottle. :D Fun party game!

Kommentar von Reanna

Get a 5-man group all with compasses. Start in Dalaran, spin your compass, and begin walking in the direction it points you. If you reach a wall or unclimbable cliff, mount up and fly over it but land, dismount, and continue moving in a straight line as soon as you can. Do not stop, attack, cast, vanish, blink, or pot. Last one alive wins!

Yarrgh! All ye be closed-minded tarts says I!

I picked up this here compass and spun her to begin me a great treasure! I searched the greater part 'o five years looking for riches, and found the greatest booty this pirate can imagine!

'Twas in the last of last year when I discovered the object of my ten year quest when I realized that I need not compass nor eyes nor ears nor nose to find the elusive loot of me dreams!

Found I a mighty horde inside the unlikeliest place swears I by me own mother!

'Twas in me own mind, and all ye fortune hunters should take heed! Spin ye cursed compass enough too much and you'll be chasing ye own shadow!

If ye find yer treasure, by angels in Heaven and the devils in Hell don't open the chest! Take heed explorers and mercen'ries! sailors and thieves! kings and killers! to open that chest that always sits in the back of yer mind is to release the evils in us all!

It is said that Onyxia used this item to determine when to use Deep Breath...

Kommentar von Cocomatona

The 2 second cast time can be reduced with haste.

Kommentar von 246363

This item was Great fun! I played with it a bit and then posted it for sale in Chat.

I raised the price and added a new humorous (hopefully) comment every few minutes and when I got up to 60g someone offered to buy it! (I gave it to them.)

Kommentar von 360658

Is it only me or do you actually feel alittle like Mario/Luigi when you kind of "Walk" up in the air when using it airbourn? :D

Kommentar von Ziggybits

has anyone acually followed where this compass points? Maybe Blizzard added some cool hiding spot or something?

Kommentar von Breadzilla

Is this consumed per use?

Kommentar von mixter

points to places of interest besides randomness

1. coldaara
2.icecrown
3. when in org mostly pointed to darnasus(teldrasil the great tree)

depends where you are, it helps you find interesting places

Kommentar von 246914

When I was using this in Dalaran, I noticed that it seemed to keep pointing me at vendors. It's hard to tell, since sometimes they're indoors. Anyone else get this result.

Kommentar von bogdan

As of Patch 3.1.2, you are no longer able to use this item while moving.

Kommentar von Mantrhax

These Blizzard MF's always geting the fun away from the game.....

Kommentar von LuthofDS

Sadly, i just found out the hard way that this little compass is no longer usable while falling or moving. It hurt.

Kommentar von FoxtrottMG

it does indeed point in the general direction of ulduar... atleast mine does

Kommentar von 18754

As of patch 3.1.2 it can no longer be used to reduce fall damage. An error is received stating that it cannot be used whilst moving.

Kommentar von 18754

No longer stops fall damage as of 3.1.2. This cannot be used whilst moving.

Kommentar von section8

do you think that it points to the nearest fish/mine/mailbox/auctioneer/etc that you have your map radar set to? and if you keep using it it goes to the next farthest away?

i can't test, as i am at work, but will do so.

Kommentar von kimsey0

No longer works while moving as of 3.1.2.

Kommentar von 190096

Unfortunately Blizz seemed to hotfix (aka NERF) this item. You can no longer cast it while moving (or falling). Laame now I can't typhoon anyone to their deaths anymore and still survive. =( I'm a sad panda.

Kommentar von 370146

You are all FOOLS! This thing points to Time Lost Proto Drake! O=

Kommentar von 370590

I got the same feeling about something circling Ulduar or moving around Stormpeaks. I was hoping it was tracking the Time Lost Protodrake, but I doubt it. When it led me off the edge of the map I decided to give up :/

I'm still keeping it though, too many silly uses for it to be given away or sold ^ ^

Kommentar von 376690

anyone try flying around dead with this thing looking for npcs?

Kommentar von Phylactery

Too bad, I was hoping for a caption, "It points north, John." Then again I'm sure this was in the game well before that episode of Lost...

Kommentar von 384986

Someone on Thotbot suggested using it for "spin the bottle" I guess you could also use it to choose a person from among a group of people.

Kommentar von aneossino

maybe it shows the way to another dimension!

just we mortals can't see it yet xD

Kommentar von Okacz

I saw a guy trying to sell it for 1k gold. I asked him why is it so expencive, and he told me that this compass is leading to (sic) Time Lost Proto-Drake.

Kommentar von 94080

Tried compass several times from dal and it keeps pointing to a quest turn in every time. Not sure if it is coincidence or not. Just a thought.

Kommentar von Tarrek

This item doesn't become soulbound when you use it.

So you can play with it for a bit, and when you get bored of it you can give it to someone else, like a hand me down toy.

Kommentar von drdoom5081

Did some testing with this, and this is what I've determined. Imagine you are looking at 0 degrees. It will point you in a random direction from -90 to +90 degrees from where you start using the compass. If you rotate around it does not change the initial angle. I think this is also why it appears to move you up. You're not moving up really, just back to the altitude you started casting, since that is the position it saved you at.

Kommentar von Ieremia

It points you to where the stealthed rogue is in arena and show you who the ninja is in Uldual 25....

Kommentar von 24111

Points at the Black Pearl.

If only all the ships weren't fixed with one route...

Kommentar von 401064

I was Running around dalaran for 1 hour, thinking " i bet that is points to some Treasure" i hoovered all of dalaran and serwers, then decided "FUK IT go to thott and see where the treasure is!" I FEIL 2wice
So keep in mind, if you find smth that looks cool, and you think it does smth, go to thott and dont waste your time ....

Kommentar von Zaniegolm

how do you know it doesn't point to the time lost proto drake? it spawns like what? once a week, and when it does i'm sure some camper gets it, so when it's not there, the compass could just point you to a "random" direction.

Kommentar von 424171

Well they nerfed it! : /

you now cannot use while moving (includes falling)

Kommentar von cr33do

First one around Shimmering Flats Race Track using only the Unusual Compass... WINS!

Kommentar von 331797

I picked this up about a week ago in the fishing daily. Put it in AH a couple different times for 3 gold, never sold. Today I relisted it and the price is now 49 gold! Somebody wants these!

Kommentar von 140374

Nice for picking which Naxx wing to do first when your raid is being indecisive.

Kommentar von 350778

If you use it in barrens it will show a way to Mankrik's wife... true story...

Kommentar von 434151

I used this compas today to deside where i would camp time lost proto drake (y i know, lifeless :p). i use an addon which shows the routs of rare mobs, this compas keeps pointing to 4 points where the different routes of tlpd cross each other. when it pointed 2 times the same direction i went to the crossroad near Engine of the maker. after camping there a while, Vyragosa spawned (mob that shares the route of tlpd). dunno if this is where Unusual compas is for. but thats my theory. try it out ^^.

p.s. i stand btw on the middle of the frozen lake (bor's breath) when i use the compass. there is a figure on the frozen ice that points to 3 different routes tlpd flies. stand in the middel and start spinning :)

Kommentar von Gandoron

Hmm... In patch 3.2 it is still white, so there must (should) be some use for it?

Kommentar von 439461

This item was droped when Chuck Norris defeated Ulduar in less than 15 sec.

Kommentar von Camshlom

I was messing around with mine on my druid in Elwynn Forest, And after awhile. it lead me right into a Peacebloom. I was tracking Herbs too. Creepy.

Kommentar von xynoman

Point the compass! "comp" "ass" computer ass

Kommentar von 298907

I did what it asked.
I was in Howling Fjord doing the Kalu'ak daily when I realized I haven't opened the fish bag yet. And there it was, the compass. It pointed directly to east, well, so I did go east, as long as my Fatigue held me. There's no Easter Kingdoms or Kalimdor when your in Northrend. The map showed that I'm inside Trisfal Glades, but all I could see was water and endless clouds. So I died due the fatigue problem, and spirit Rezzed in Westfall, while it sayd that my body is in Alterac Mountains.

Kommentar von Falletha

It points you to what you most desire..

Kommentar von 451571

You can arrange your raid in a circle and play spin the bottle while they do the tacs. TRUTH OR DARE?

Kommentar von 349485

When bored, I go to the top of Ironforge Mountain, use this, cast Slow Fall, and fly in that direction.

Kommentar von 467169

Nope, it points to Mankrik's wife.

Kommentar von 73830

in soviet russia, compass spins you!

Kommentar von 452529

I've heard several stories of people selling this for obscene amounts, telling people it points to the Time Lost Proto drake. Most I've heard so far was 800g for the compass. XD

Kommentar von 122828

Maybe. It points to the thing you want most in this world... of Warcaft ;D

Kommentar von 498032

Got this item the other day, and after reading these posts I was curious to what it pointed to as mine always lead me to Ulduar also.

It's not the TLPD it points to, it IS a reference to Pirates of the Caribbean - look past Ulduar and you will see.

I never went there myself til just now, but I ended up in Hrothgar's Landing, check it out and you'll see there's a ship just like the Black Pearl at 47.5, 49.4

yarr!

Kommentar von 448857

So this guy on our server bought this for quite some gold (around 5000). He was told that it would direct him to (eventually) a mount. After three days, people started to feel bad and told him he was tricked. Don't know if he had stopped if they hadn't told him.
So watch out...

:)

Kommentar von 502763

Jesus. You guys really go off on a tangent with this.

I cant confirm anything yet, but after about 30 uses in many areas it so far has always pointed me to the closest fishable water.

Makes sense to me since we get it from fishing.

Try it, and don't only think of huge lakes or the oceans, there are pools inside caves around the land also so if its pointing to a mountain, try and follow inside.

And some area's have no fishable water so it goes wackey then.

Kommentar von 365540

It's obvious the item doesn't have any useful abilities or spells within it, but it's perfect for a different tone of roleplaying.

And there's something I thought of, as I think this might be a reference to the compass, "Jack Sparrow" uses in the series of 'Pirates of the Caribbean'. It has been said that it leads you to what you want the most.

Also, that it can be achieved from fishing, makes it even more "related" to Pirates of the Caribbean.

Kommentar von Lolseeker

It points to the pool that contains the ashbringer!(##RESPBREAK##)520##DELIM##Onyx1831##DELIM##

I just got the compas and the first thing it pointed to was ICC :P

Kommentar von Trickydicky

My compass never points south! I've done it looooaaads and the furthest south it goes is SWW or SEE. But otherwise it's always, N, E, W, and in between. What's up with that!

Kommentar von 515018

So bad that the didn't set an animation to this. And it realy is "Unusual".

Kommentar von 550249

YOURE ALL SO STUPID !
OFC IT DONT POINTS TO TIME LOST
IT POINTS YOU TO THE LICH KINGS POSITION !

Kommentar von Blackboy0

Grabbed this item, first thing I did was Right-click it. As it finished casting and I turned a different direction, the only thing that came out of my mouth was: "Sweet!", as I waited for the 10 second cooldown to finish. This is now my favorite novelty item in World of Warcraft =)

Thank you, Blizzard, for letting me live up to my dream of becoming the next Jack Sparrow. I am almost there!

Patch 508474.68778 Notes:

Unusual Compass is now a consumable!
/use Compass
/eat compass

Kommentar von 591777

Could be wrong, but from the results of a couple weeks of testing this in several areas, it seems to point you to the location of the nearest critter. Use the compass. Move in the compass direction till you find the critter. Use compass. Repeat.
Dunno what happens if you click (or kill, hug, love, etc.) all the critters it points to. I always get bored after the third lick and start biting.
Either way it has made it easier to get https://www.cuckhead.com/wotlk/achievement=1206.

Kommentar von Likkan

Fel Reavers apparently is driven by this...how would you orelse explain theyr ability to find you no matter where you hide?
Its pointing toward YOU!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

It's worth 2 gold so I'm banking mine (next to some weird grey-item statue I found worth 12 gold?). I'm hoping that in some later update, it'll be upgraded and become a worthy Spack Jarrow-esque item of use and value. Maybe to help you find an ever-moving daily quest aboard the Schwarz Pearl, or an ever-moving NPC, or something like that moving barge in Icecrown that doesn't really move that far. (Yes, Spack Jarrow and Schwarz Pearl were both used intentionally as non-trademark-infringing WorldofWarcraftisms. lol)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This could be used to avoid splatting if you timed it right. Sometime around 3.1.2 you could no longer use this while moving.
Fortunately, I didn't die finding it out.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I recently got one of these from doing a Dalaran fishing daily. When you use it, it points you in a random direction. Mildly entertaining and entirely useless, not unlike the Titanium Seal of Dalaran.

Kommentar von Mixine

It points to Bobby's future yacht!
