In Bahari Bay, a painted map area marks a bountiful resource gathering zone, divided into distinct regions for coordinated farming and resource harvesting.

The Painted Map Areas feature provides a powerful way to draw, highlight, and visually communicate large zones of interest on the interactive map, perfect for complex resource gathering or strategic planning.

Key Uses

  • Coordinate Group Effort: When shared with a party, these areas quickly show where each group member should focus their efforts.
  • Define Resource Routes: Outline full paths for mining circuits or foraging runs, making efficient travel planning clear.

How It Works

  • Only Party Hosts: Only the party host can activate Paint Mode and paint on the map.
  • Select Color: Choose a color from a select color palette to easily distinguish the area's purpose.
  • Clear Map: The party host can clear the map to start over, removing all painted areas.
  • Remove Colors: The party host can remove colors from specific areas using the ereaser tool.
  • Switch Cursor: Once painted, switch the cursor to the default cursor to normally interact with the map.
  • Single Color Layer: Painted areas are painted on a single layer, so new colors will override the previously placed color at the same position, helping to reduce clutter on the map.
