Why is my garrison map now a dungeon map? makes trying to find next steps a pain.
Sounds like an UI issue. Try logging out and back into the game fully. If that doesnāt fix it, try a full UI reset.

Iāve reset everything and still no go. while in my garrison no characters show up on the map no quests etc. it does show in the minimap and itās only since the 8.3 that itās this way. Iāve disabled all addons then did the reset of both system and interface and itās still the same. I do use Zygor and it canāt find the characters yes Iāve checked with them and has something to do with the 8.3 and the way it pulls the garrison map.
Iām in my garrison right now. The map ā¦ looks the same as it ever did?

Neither are a proper UI reset

Iāve had no issues with the Garrison map. All my characters have no issues. Thatās older characters that Iāve had for years and newer characters that just opened their garrison.

itās almost like since the new update thereās no coordinates inside the garrison. Treating it more like an instance than part of the regular map.
Coordinates?
I donāt think thatās a part of the standard UI.
They arenāt.
I donāt remember ever having coordinates inside the garrison. I use TomTom and Iām not sure it ever gave them for the garrison.
Edit:
The Garrison is an instanced area, like dungeons and scenarios. Itās not actually part of the regular map system. That may be why addons donāt give coordinates in them.

Maybe Dehunter is referring to how you have another precision level while youāre in your garrison?
Itās standard to cities and the garrisonā¦ I think thatās been around since 1.0.
The garrison is also phased, once you start construction. Maybe thatās what Dehunterās referring to regarding the coordinates? Maybe theyāre trying to find a quest in the garrison, from outside the garrison?
Itās not phased. Itās instanced. Thatās why you can have issues walking in to or hearthing to your garrison.

This is the informaion they put up ā¦
In 8.3 Blizzard changed all garrisons to be instanced zones and Blizzard does not allow arrows to work in instanced zones. You will not be able to get any arrow to work while inside the garrison unfortunately, and there is nothing we can do to work around that.
Meā¦
I understand the arrows not working but couldnāt you do like in a dungeon and place markers where about to find someone or give directions in text? I know itās a lot to update. But as is it is confusing. I have been going outside the garrison to find the next spot and tried to estimate with the distance and the way itās pointing before i go into it but heās right about it being a pain.
Their reply againā¦
With garrisons that is not possible. There are 3 basic layouts to the garrisons depending on what level the garrison is. On top of that the garrisons are very customizable for what buildings are where and that can also change NPC locations.
so apparently something changed in the patch you used to be able to know i accepted this quest when i go to the flight map it could let me know where i was going. with the new system i now have to fly to another location so it can grab the information of where to go. It wasnāt like that before patch 8.3.
Hello Dehunter,
It sounds like what youāre looking for is the next quest encounter. Can you identify which quest youāre on, or what youāre looking for? And which level of garrison youāre on?
Blizzard didnāt put up that information. Thatās from your addonās site. The information is incorrect. Garrisons have always been instanced. Itās not new. That is why when there are issues with the instance servers you canāt get to your garrison.

any of the dailies i have to open the map and find it on the open map then work out which one i want to go to by checking each zone and then find the closest on the flight map. Itās not that hard once you start doing it but it used to allow it to be done inside the garrison automatically.
Ahh.
Those things are semi-static. For example, the trading post daily will be wherever youāve placed your trading post. The fishing post exists in one location only.
You could try enabling ātrack trivial questsā, if thatās applicable to you.
Once you have a general idea where the different buildings are, it should be straightforward.

Thanks i do have that checked and iām working it out just decided i wanted to finish up earlier quests I used a character boost on another character so going through the routine getting most things done in lunarfall.
they say in 8.3 apparently inside the garrison where it could place an arrow for what direction to leave the garrison (on a flying mount) canāt be done anymore because arrows apparently arenāt allowed inside of instances but was before? so yeah iām just a bit confused. I leave and it works but it used to work before ā¦ sigh oh well such is life thanks for the feedback. I asked them the question of what has changed because itās always been an instance.
the problem i have is my vision is a bit blurry and when iām trying to find a specific character i suck at names so reading all the names isnāt as easy as following an arrow that lets me get to them faster
Ahhh. I can definitely see the change frustrating.
Youāve tried turning on ālarge nameplatesā and have adjusted your game resolution? I understand those arenāt fixes per se, but hopefully they can help a little.
Thanks for the help iāll get there no big deal just a bit frustrating because I canāt see how things have changed. But such is life.
Thanks again

Well, it is instanced, technically. Itās how all playersā garrisons can exist in the same physical space in the game world.
