User Quotes:

" "Wayward compass unironically has a negative effect of numbing your sense of direction, so that if you get rid of it, you are lost as hell." "
" "The wayward compass doesn’t allow you to get lost/immerse yourself into the world of Hallownest, it really is a bad charm." "

" "Wayward compass has the worst negative in the game, taking an entire charm notch! It needs to be reworked to take no notches to be any good." "
