Scenario: Your group is running "Forgotten Dreamwilds" for the first time, with lots of mechanics and frequent callouts. You want the minimap to show only what's relevant to you, to find yourself instantly when targeted, and to get voice alerts.
Step 1: Turn on and place the overlay
- , turn on Enable Dungeon Mechanics.
- Edit Layout: place Map Panel on one side of the screen where it doesn't cover your character, and Mechanic Calls below it. Click Done when finished.
Step 2: Reduce clutter
- Turn on Only show self and teammates affected by mechanics: teammates who aren't targeted are hidden.
- Turn on Auto Hide in Daily Scenes: hides automatically when you return to town.
- If your group uses markers for calls, turn on Show Markers.
Step 3: Make yourself stand out
- Turn on Show self ring, pick a Ring Color that clearly differs from the mechanic colors (such as white), and make the line a bit thicker.
- Turn on Show facing indicator.
- In Entity sizes, increase Self.
Step 4: Voice alerts when targeted
- Enter the dungeon (or just expand Mechanic voice callouts) and find the mechanics you want alerts for, such as Share / Decay / Spread and Execution Sentence.
- Write short text for each mechanic, for example "Stack" or "Go to corner".
- Go to and click Generate missing voices.
Step 5: Pair it with Boss DBM
In Monster Monitor, turn on the Boss DBM area and place it near the top center of the screen. The minimap tells you where to stand, and Boss DBM tells you how many seconds are left. See Example: Give a Boss skill an alias and add a voice warning.
