  8. The World Map gets the option to search for NPCs, Monsters and Maps. The location of various bosses are now tagged similarly to mini dungeons. The Mini map can now be expanded to view the image in full size, also in the Mini map, you can see the NPCs and the monsters in connecting portals. The Map Information System must be present for this feature to be implanted.
