Navigation
NAV
You can use your NAV in order to travel quickly all over Eldriss. However, you will need to mine for Cobalt in order to do so. The NAV also gives you good information about what what to expect in the zone your are travelling to. Certain pets offer a discount to cobalt warp costs! If you click the 'local' button on the NAV menu it will highlight the current zone!

"Talking to the base computer AI will reveal facts about the Towns economy. You will want to buy where prices are low and sell where prices are high. Plastic Surgery will become exceedingly expensive in High-Level Establishments" -Gillis

Prioritize Resources Gathering
Always be on the lookout for Cobalt and other Minerals. These are the basis for travel and crafting. Your saw also helps you gain access to areas you would otherwise not be able to access. You can also use your saw to clear Poison Ivy and harvest wild edibles.

COBALT STAR
When you slay a mid-lith there is a chance a Cobalt Star will drop. It is always a good idea to keep many of these on hand. These Stars will teleport you instantly to the next level. Even if the next level requires a key.
CITY NAV
When you visit a Capitol City you will find a Warp Gate. Once you buy a license you can always go back to the city for free. You can also warp ahead by buying a license for the next capitol city for sometimes exorbitant prices.
The Warp
Warps also occasionally appear. These warps will send you forward a distance ranging from 1-25 levels. Warps are dangerous as All manor of flying xylith come through them in a constant attack on the level.
