Open full-size interactive map →

Nearby locations for the same mob merge into one shaded area with a centered forward-facing portrait where room permits. A dot appears only when a portrait cannot fit. With a mouse, hover either the marker or its shaded area for details; keyboard users can focus the marker. Select either one to open the related page. Tombstone pins mark graveyard respawns, while green marks the zone entrance. Use the controls to zoom or fit the whole map, and drag empty map space with a mouse. On a touch screen, pinch to zoom, use two fingers to move the embedded map, or tap a marker directly. The full-size map supports one-finger dragging. The directory below provides larger targets.
