I have been playing WoW for some time now and whenever I play or look up where something is I always see numbers like (45,69). What are these? They do no good for me when i'm trying to find something so why do I see them everywhere and how can I get them on my WoW map to start using them?

If you take a look at (34,59) you will understand these things completely.

Ok, just kidding…but I can easily see how frustrating it is to not use them when everyone gives out coordinates instead of a description of location.

The numbers themselves are WoW coordinates. There are a lot of addons that use these in order to make it easier to find certain things so instead of trying to describe where things are they can just give coordinates (x,y). It does make things a lot easier and quicker.

The only way you can start using these is to download a World of Warcraft map coordinates addon. These addons add the coordinates to your map and usually give a player location in terms of coordinates as well as cursor position on the map as well.

Cartographer is the one that I use. Not only does it give coordinates but also tons of other useful things and even more things that I have yet to realize it can do.

Check out that one but you can also do a search on Curse Gaming and get tons of different addons that you can use. You should be able to find one that works well for you.

Remember the bottom line is that you will be the one looking at it all the time so find one you like.
