Oooh *bounces even higher*
I'm like 90% sure the needle slowing down was because of something interesting and not the compass getting confused because of my bouncing. So the needle spins faster in the center and slows down the farther you bounce out, just like Spoink tires and slows down the farther out she bounces!
*eats an acorn because she doesn't have any cupcakes*
@Keeper of Night I will go a little closer to the center of the valley, eat an acorn for luck, and bounce high into the air, watching the compass all the time as I go up and down to see if the spinning needle's speed changes on the way up and on the way down. I wonder if something is buried down there, if the spinning might change depending on how far it is from the ground.
Hey,
I'm just using it to find directions.
I can't say what everyone else is doing with it... such things are beyond a humble spoink's ability to understand.
