that gives you the general direction to the next person/item in a quest. It seems to be intermittant. What are the rules of this pointer? Do you have to be within a grid or two for it to point? Has anyone else experienced the pointer not working/intermittantly working?

I think the rule is that there can be no more than two map changes between you and the quest objective.

Also it will never show up for storyline missions, but only for side quests.

He is correct.

For example the Red Cloak Deserter Quest that you get in Piken Square. The pointer for this will only show up when you are in Fort Ranik.

So yes you need to be close for this to show up.

This is great news! I thought the lack of pointer was a bug, and I found it frustrating.

Thanks!
