How to Use the Sextant in Runescape
In "RuneScape" there is a coordinate system that covers all of the outdoor areas of the map, like the latitude and longitude measurements in the real world. Coordinates are measured in degrees and minutes, and the center of the coordinate system is the Observatory north of Castle Wars. The sextant is used in conjunction with a chart and a watch to determine your current coordinates.
