The DDO Chronicle: Issue 379

[Damienne]

Pike and never get lost!

[minipig]

Let a Mind Flayer control you.

[dsmwhiteknight]

Why to follow someone that knows where they are going of course!

[Magniee]

Never get out of the harbor

[Katalissa]

Yes yes, you've got your dimension doors, bigby's hands, maps from the Wiki, following the experienced player who SEEMS to know what they're doing, etc.

The true pro key is simple - at the entrance, pick a wall, left or right, and stick to it. This is a bona fide key to navigating 99.9% of mazes. In fact, start at any point, and as long as you're not on some central island, you'll eventually get out.

[Manotasso]

Never enter in a strange portal.

[DDO_Addict]

stay in bed

[Hoplos]

No one is really lost, we are just a /death away

[Gniewomir]

Ddowiki!

[mna]

Well yes, by definition, the way to not get lost is to always know where you are and where you're going.

This would in practice preclude 1) falling asleep while a passenger in any vehicle 2) using any transport that you can't independently track from your passenger seat 3) getting too impaired to know where you are (mind those deep sleep states especially) ... In D&D terms, ALWAYS be able to pass a DC 15 Survival check.


Given that this would be severely limiting, the better way is to know how to mitigate the situation. As in, "always know how to get home"...

Roll up a Ranger

Yeah, that's how to do it in practice.

Apparently, translated to approximate D&D terms, Grandpa thought people should always start with 1 level of Ranger. Always, as in that's about when children can be left without parental supervision for a day. (Might have been influenced by him having been a child underfoot in WWI - had to dodge rifle fire and go hide in the woods...)

[Thinaria]

Always have dimension door prepared

[ideal_insomnia]

Left hand rule?

[parttimewarrior]

To leave behind a trail of dead bodies.

[gilstar9]

To shelter in place

[Entil]

Use the "M" key

[Joao_Crispim]

I don't think that's possible, unless I'm lost

[Annex]

To avoid getting lost I use a Compact Mirror of Absolute Positioning or open the Time Purse, lean out, and ask for directions.

[V_Moonlight]

Befriend a Ranger and follow him.
