Minimap

The Minimap is a small map located to the right of the skill bar. It contains information on the player's surroundings without the need to open the Map.
The Minimap converys direction information with numbers on a clock face: where 12, 3, 6, and 9 are replaced by N(orth), E(ast), S(outh), and W(est) respectively. The area within the player's Vision Radius is represented with a lighter color.

Icons

The minimap can show icons of nearby characters and points of interest. Character icons appear when they are within the player's Vision Radius. An icon to the left of the minimap indicates whether the area is a safe zone (where PvP is disabled); or a danger zone (where PvP is enabled).
