I am starting the prosses of creating new and better static maps, for this purpose I have made a survey so you all can let me know what you would want on a static map. It would help a lot if you could take the time to fill it out, thank you.

Static Map Tool
The static map tool allows you to make static maps yourself with whatever you want on them. This means that if you think my static maps have too much stuff and are too hard to navigate, then you can make your own with just what you need and theyâll look just as good as my static maps.
The tool lets you create lists with all the items on the map and text telling you what they are. These lists can be moved around to wherever you see fit and snap into place.
In case you havenât noticed, Iâve released new static maps of my own, they were made pretty much only using the new static map tool. So if youâre curious what you can make, check out the demo video linked at the bottom or check this post
To access it you have to enable it in the settings, it will be disabled by default every time since itâs not really something you will likely use often. Other than that Most of itâs pretty self explanatory(i hope), but I have also put together some documentation for it, so if youâre not sure what something does, check the documentation linked at the bottom.
UI Overhaul
The rightside UI is now way cleaner and IMO better looking, but then again I have been staring at it for way too many hours so please give me your honest feedback on it. The biggest part of updating the UI was the backend, but that also means I can now very easily make further changes to it, so let me know what you think of it and what you might want different.
3.0?!
With the recent search overhaul, new maps and now a static map creator and UI overhaul I felt it was about time to jump up to 3.0.0. The map is better than it has ever been before and at thins point it feels almost âdoneâ. Then again, I though that for the 2.0.0 release too, so who knows, Iâll probably find more things to add and Iâll of course be updating it with orbus to stay up to date.
New Launcher
Due to several issues with the old launcher i have finally made a new one. Layout and functionality is the same, but it looks a little different and doesnât require .NET Core to run. It can be downloaded using the same link as the old launcher.

Quest Helper
The quest helper letâs you look through the quests of OrbusVR and see all you need to know to complete it. It even guides you to the items, NPCs, Resources, etc. you need to complete the quest. If youâre stuck at a specific quest you can search for it and let the map guide you through what you need to do.
Currently only the MSQ and Pre-MSQ quests have been implemented, but more is coming, eventually I hope to have all quests on the map.

And thank you for the awesome resource! I love feeling like a super-nerd with my laptop running your map to the side of me while Iâm in Orbus. Super fun hearing new playerâs reactions to it when I direct them to the download as well

Using the map is a one-way road. Once you find it out and starting using it, you canât go back and stop.
Thank you for the awesome work on the map, it has been helping us in so many ways.

Update 3.3.0 - The Final⢠update
- added missing fish rotations on forsaken isle
- updated tooltips for most missing persons quest items
- added all the festival stuff for tthe whole year
Finalâ˘
Now that orbus is no longer being updated I will also call the map âdoneâ. If there are minor things that need fixing, I may take the time to do that, but no new features are comming to the map again.
Itâs been a wild ride and Iâve learned so much from working on this project, both in terms of technical know-how and knowledge, but Iâve also gotten a greater appreciation for the value of helping others, which I will always bring with me.
As Iâve said before, thank you all for enabling me and motivating me to work on this, it has seriously changed me in several ways.

Thank you for everything with the map! Iâll still be using it until I canât anymore, thatâs for sure. 10/10 best resource for fishies and public events (thatâs what I do the most). Am sad there wonât be anything new but it was a joy watching it change and grow over time.
