Is it possible to remove the character aura circle on minimap?

[Eommus]

Hi,

Whenever my character is in a quest focus area or an archaeological dig site, a circular, white aura appears on my minimap. It is not caused by an addon; I checked by disabling all addons, it's still there. I have no idea what use it has other than cluttering the minimap annoyingly.

Here's a screenshot:

Any ideas or console commands how to remove that?

Thanks.

It's from the default ui, you can click the little magnifying glass on the minimap and untick digsites I believe it's called

Thanks, but that's not what I asked. If you check the screenshot I posted above, you will notice a white circular aura around the character icon on the minimap. That is what I want to remove.

That texture is basically a cosmetic outline designed for the circular minimap, so it looks wrong when the shape is anything but.
There is a way of removing it I think.
Will have a look around, if nobody else chimes in before that.

HideBlobRing

Minimap:SetArchBlobRingScalar( 0 ); Minimap:SetQuestBlobRingScalar( 0 );

There also is the minimapShowArchBlobs cvar if that works

/console minimapShowArchBlobs 0

It appears only when you are in a quest or dig area, and honestly I can't think of a reason why it appears other than to be an annoyance.

Thank you very much! Just what I needed. Added the line to my custom clean UI addon

It's to define the edge of the default circle map to show that the quest or dig area is extending beyond what is shown. It's useless on a square minimap, as your screenshot shows.

On circular minimap, the quest area texture (blue) and dig area texture (brown) are enough to figure out the area is extending beyond what is shown on the minimap. If I don't see the edge of the marked area, it means it is extending in that direction. I still don't understand why this aura is needed.

It looks pretty.
