People arleady knew how to navigate using stars (for instance before the compass was invented).
And anyone seriously working with magnets would've stumbled across one that could be used as a compass eventually.

What is more important a magnetic compass or gunpowder?
It depends on what you are trying to do. If you are trying to find north, a magnetic compass is more important. If you are trying to make fireworks or to fire a gun that requires gunpowder, gunpowder is more important. If you mean in a historical sense, that is also a matter of opinion. Without compasses, sailors would not be able to navigate. Without gunpowder, they would not be able to kill the people they found in the lands they sailed to. The world would be a different place without both. In short, it is a matter of opinion which one is more important.
