    Sky map

    Now that there are more and more players that are completely new to Sky, it felt like a good idea to make a map. Not a guide, there's a wiki for that. Just a map.

    It's in .svg format, and there's a little script that allows you to drag the map with your mouse, and zoom in/out by scrolling. If you can't view it, use a different browser.

    Awesome map. Only suggestion would be to change the black background and make the details pop out a little more.

    Very nice work. Just out of curiosity, what software did you use to draw the map?

    The text La'Loff Amphitheatre is hard to read with black text in dark blue background.
    Just some input

    Adobe Illustrator.

    La'Loff text is black because it's not the point of this map. Who cares about La'Loff, lol.

    The background isn't black, and the vivid colors bring out the details enough in my opinion.

    Appreciate the feedback. Keep it coming.

    Is this suitable for a game map, as in the details won't be too bunched up when used, or just an external reference map?

    External reference. Just keep it open in browser, and zoom in/out whenever you need a new perspective. It was made with zooming in mind, so most details won't show too well when you view the map as a whole.

    You mind releasing the vector if anyone cares to do a in-game replacement?

    Nvm can just open SVG with no issues.

    If you could add rifts to the map i think it might help people doing voidwatch.

    I like it, a very nice replacement for the old JP sky map I use to use which last I checked isn't hosted anymore.

    seconded. getting to rifts in zones like ve'lug is something that people could use help with at times.. moreso for reference than to navigate.
    since you're already marking things down, would also be nice if you marked the specific rooms for curtana.

    also, is the NW room on the 2nd floor of Ru'avitau still able to bring you to fake kirin/pots room? cos i know only the west entrance one is a 100% to kirin, but maybe not that one.

    I'll add the rifts, and be more specific with the curtana rooms. Good suggestions.

    The fake kirin room is marked 'fake'. The teleporter that takes you there is the one opposite the one that takes you to Faust. It's the only way of going to that room now.
