Guiding Winds

Guiding winds are a game mechanic in DREDGE that mostly occur during the day. They have glittery effects, much like the shimmer above a fishing spot with aberrant fish, but can occur even when the player doesn't have high panic levels.

The wind will pass over the player's ship, moving in the direction of a nearby wreck or interactable location, such as an abandoned campfire. At the location the player is being guided toward, a small flurry of similar particles will be wrapped around the point.

Targets

Guiding winds can guide the player towards various locations. These include dredge locations for items such as materials, trinkets, or quest items, interactable locations such as the old fishing boat wreck at L5, or the Photographer's dock. It will continue to point to any interactable location, even after the site has been emptied of any items.
