how do i guide myself without maps?

Really good spatial awareness (like City of Mist is about a 35 degree angle to the right from the TT zone, or 25 degrees left from the EJ port in spot) and specific landmarks like the broken pillar for Seb, or the right at the archway in Kael to get from EW to bank/WL zone.

Like real life, you just have to memorize the world and have a sense of where you were last you knew, and how long you have walked in what direction.

Use /loc and maps from the wiki when you get lost.
