Effects[edit | edit source]

Reduces your remaining quest duration by your current rescue cooldown, then doubles your current rescue cooldown. (once per rescue)

— In-game description

If the current rescue cooldown is higher than the remaining quest time, Compass adds the quest time to the cooldown instead of doubling the cooldown. For example, if the rescue cooldown is at 30 minutes and the quest ends in 15 minutes, Compass will finish the quest and the rescue cooldown will become 45 minutes.^[1]

i changed compass though so it doesnt actually double anymore
it just adds whats needed to finish your quest
so if your cooldown is so high that one use of compass can finish your quest, it might not be a full double. just enough time for the quest to be over
like no wasted time
ok lets say your rescue cooldown is 30 minutes and your quest ends in 15 minutes. your quest will finish and your cooldown will become 45 minutes instead of 60
since it only needed 15 minutes
