Hey, Pathfinders! It’s me, the Chief Pathfinder—Jasper for friends! This month I levelled up my cartography skills.

Items marked with [🧭] were added thanks to your feedback! We truly appreciate every comment and work hard to keep the journey smooth.

All maps re-worked

World map

🧭The world map has been completely rebuilt:

Geometry and zone transitions now match their real in-game layout and exits
Many pins and labels updated
Numerous bugs fixed

Comment: The world map was on our “to-redo” list forever. Thanks to your feedback, it’s finally done!

Local maps

Local maps were also re-worked in this patch, and we added a fog of war to show where you’ve been (and where you haven’t).

Local map backgrounds now match their biomes
🧭Fog of war—unvisited areas are blacked out. You can still peek through for now, but that may change later.

Comment: These tweaks were long overdue—thank you for pushing us to make them!

Mini-map (radar)

🧭A mini-map now lives in the top-right corner. Don’t like it? Toggle it off in the options.

Comment: You asked for it, we tried it—and we like it too. Remember, it’s optional!
