The coordinate locator on the map is slightly off, compared to how it used to be. It's only slightly off but significant enough that it you are digging around and area that is like 3 or 4 squares below and 2 squares to the side where you should be.

Can you give some examples of a few that are off?

I made the formula by using the farthest position away from observatory (rogue's castle at 24 26, 26 26). If there are positions that are off, that means the distance on the map doesn't always directly correlate with the distance in game and we may have to hard code each coordinate into a position on the map.

I had the one on that obelisk in the wildy. Wasn't the first time I've had it and the locator used to put it exactly on the right square.
Only other one I've done recently was on the southwest corner of the Kharazi jungle and it was off too. :S

I think Jay or Powercrazy was saying how they couldn't find one with the map too last week by the Wildy Agility Course (and I told them it was right but they were stupid XD)


I was wondering if something would have changed as it used to be right :S

Nothing has changed in that version of the map for a long time so I'm not sure how it would become inaccurate if it was accurate before.

Maybe what we could do is, for each map location, have a screenshot of a player standing in the exact place to dig that pops up with a coordinate entered.

For anyone who does lots of clues (or even small amounts), I'd appreciate it if they'd PM me a screenshot of them standing on the spot to dig and give me the coordinate it's for.

Sounds like a good idea that will prove very helpful. I'll be sure to pm you whenever I get a coordinate clue, even though I don't do that many clues.
