The camera determines your viewing angle into the game. You can adjust it using:

  • the arrow keys on your keyboard - The left arrow key rotates the camera view clockwise, while the right arrow key rotates the camera view anti-clockwise.
  • by holding down the middle mouse button - Forward/backward movement of mouse with middle button held down controls height of camera and lateral motion will move camera left/right.
  • using the W A S D keys on your keyboard - W will increase the height of the camera, while S will lower it. A and D will move the camera left and right respectively. Note that if you use these buttons as keybinds for your Action Bar, they will not be used to move the camera.

You will have to adjust the camera to get a good view of your surroundings and all the possible objects you can interact with. Using the camera properly will ensure you do not overlook important items. In the images above, the player has used the left or right arrow key to rotate the camera in order to see the fountain and areas behind, in front and below their character.

To adjust the viewing height of the camera, press the up arrow key, the S key or hold down the middle mouse button and move your mouse downwards, to tilt the camera downwards or the down arrow key, the W key or hold down the middle mouse button and move your mouse upwards, to tilt the camera upwards.

The image on the right hand side shows how tilting the camera upwards allows for a much wider viewing area.

Almost all items and objects have some form of action associated with them, so make sure you are thorough when examining your surrounding environment.
