 +
==Quest window==
 +
The Quest window actually features three tabs that can be easily missed:
 +
 
 +
* '''Quests and Favors''': Your typical quest log. As of the alpha it currently does not distinguish completed quests. However, a notification appears on the screen along with a distinctive sound whenever you progress on a quest objective.
 +
* '''Stuff to Do''' : Provides a list of objectives with basic hints. This is a nice feature for players who want to try and discover a lot on their own. Note that many of those objectives are out of the reach of a new player and will require some time to complete!
 +
* '''Notepad''' : An easily missed feature, the notepad lets you jot down notes in-game. This can be useful to remember [[Words of Power]] that you may want to use later, and can be useful to remember key information for several quests. Note that there is NOT a Control-Z (undo) feature, so be careful.
 +
 
 +
==Inventory==

The Inventory window can be resized however you want. The size of the items can be changed via '''Options > Gui and Windows > Inventory Item Icon Size'''.

−
Using the '''Sort''' option can be useful in this game even for those of us who like tidying up things, because the game currently does not allow freely moving and swapping items. The sort option will place all combat gear first (armor and weapons), which can make it easier to switch between weapons (as you have to right click the sword, or staff, etc).
+
As your character grows, you will gain additional '''Inventory slots''' through skills like [[Endurance]] (permanent), through certain recipes (this appears to be a temporary effect), and sometimes granted by item properties (also temporary).
  
−
To '''drop an item''' click and drag the item towards the bottom of the inventory, a box will appear with the label "Drop Item Here to Throw on Ground". Note that you can pick up the items discarded in this way, however anybody else nearby could do as well!
+
The '''Sort''' option can be useful because the game currently does not allow to reorganize your backpack contents by drag and drop. The sort option will place all combat gear first (armor and weapons), which makes it easier to switch between weapons and armor as you switch between skills. Sometimes it can be useful also to drop items on the ground, then quickly pick them up, as this will move them to the end of the inventory. It is also possible to exchange the position of items, by dragging one item onto another.
  
−
To '''split a stack of items''' left click the item while holding the shift key.
+
The items in your inventory with the '''red E''' are the ones that you have currently equipped, items with red borders are quest items.
  
−
Additional '''Inventory slots''' can be obtained by leveling up [[Endurance]], through certain recipes (this appears to be a temporary effect), and sometimes granted by item properties (also temporary).
+
To '''drop an item''' click and drag the item onto the panel below that appears below the inventory. Be aware that any items dropped in this way can be picked up by players nearby!
  
−
==Quick Tips==
+
To '''split a stack''' of items left click the item while holding the shift key.
−
(section may move to a new page later)
 
  
−
To '''fill a water bottle''' you can either activate a water well (eg. in Serbule) or similar object, but you can also simply stand in a body of water outdoors and right click an empty bottle.  
+
==Buying and selling==
 +
Press <kbd>shift</kbd> when buying to buy more than one unit of an item at once.
  
 +
Press <kbd>shift</kbd> when selling to sell a single item instead of the whole stack.
  
−
== The Chat Window ==
+
I you go the the Sell-tab for a NPC, you can hover your mouse over the amount of money the NPC has left, to see when the money for that NPC will reset to it's begin amount.
  
−
Slash commands are typed in the console. These always start with a forward slash, /like /this.
+
==Map ==
 +
Press <kbd>M</kbd> or use the button on the sidebar to open the map.
 +
The map of the area you are in can be resized.
 +
Currently, not all locations have maps.
  
−
=== Chat & social ===
+
You can place markers on the map, for places of interest you may want to remember (this can also be useful for planning a route among multiple mining surveys).
 +
The markers can be renamed or removed by clicking on them.
  
−
The default message mode is showed in the chat window input area. Left click it to cycle between 'GLOBAL', 'NEARBY' and 'GROUP'.
+
==Grouping==
 +
After inviting someone to your group<sup>(party)</sup> (and them accepting), or after accepting a group-invitation yourself, you can open the Social window, to see who is grouped with you.
 +
This also allows you to see their armor and health (some classes have abilities that allow them to heal other players).

{|
+
==The Chat Window and Commands==
 +
Slash commands are typed in the console.
 +
These always start with a forward slash (EG. <kbd>/wiki</kbd>).
 +
 
 +
===Linking items in chat===
 +
To link items in chat, simply drag and drop one or more items to the chat window while you have a message typed.
 +
 
 +
===Ghost-chat===
 +
To enable ghost chat simply click the little red cross.
 +
That is, click the close button instead of using the chat toggle key.
 +
From there on, the chat will only appear when someone talks, and will disappear again after a few seconds.
 +
In addition, the chat appears somewhat transparent.
 +
It reduces clutter and adds a little to immersion.
 +
You can configure how long the ghost-chat should last in Options > GUI and Windows, along with the transparency level.

Quest window

The Quest window actually features three tabs that can be easily missed:

  • Quests and Favors: Your typical quest log. As of the alpha it currently does not distinguish completed quests. However, a notification appears on the screen along with a distinctive sound whenever you progress on a quest objective.
  • Stuff to Do : Provides a list of objectives with basic hints. This is a nice feature for players who want to try and discover a lot on their own. Note that many of those objectives are out of the reach of a new player and will require some time to complete!
  • Notepad : An easily missed feature, the notepad lets you jot down notes in-game. This can be useful to remember Words of Power that you may want to use later, and can be useful to remember key information for several quests. Note that there is NOT a Control-Z (undo) feature, so be careful.

Inventory

An illustration of a typical adventurer's backpack.

The Inventory window can be resized however you want. The size of the items can be changed via Options > GUI and Windows > Inventory Item Icon Size.

As your character grows, you will gain additional Inventory slots through skills like Endurance (permanent), through certain recipes (this appears to be a temporary effect), and sometimes granted by item properties (also temporary).

The Sort option can be useful because the game currently does not allow to reorganize your backpack contents by drag and drop. The sort option will place all combat gear first (armor and weapons), which makes it easier to switch between weapons and armor as you switch between skills. Sometimes it can be useful also to drop items on the ground, then quickly pick them up, as this will move them to the end of the inventory. It is also possible to exchange the position of items, by dragging one item onto another.

The items in your inventory with the red E are the ones that you have currently equipped, items with red borders are quest items.

To drop an item click and drag the item onto the panel below that appears below the inventory. Be aware that any items dropped in this way can be picked up by players nearby!

To split a stack of items left click the item while holding the shift key.

Buying and selling

Press shift when buying to buy more than one unit of an item at once.

Press shift when selling to sell a single item instead of the whole stack.

I you go the the Sell-tab for a NPC, you can hover your mouse over the amount of money the NPC has left, to see when the money for that NPC will reset to it's begin amount.

Map

Press M or use the button on the sidebar to open the map. The map of the area you are in can be resized. Currently, not all locations have maps.

You can place markers on the map, for places of interest you may want to remember (this can also be useful for planning a route among multiple mining surveys). The markers can be renamed or removed by clicking on them.

Grouping

After inviting someone to your group(party) (and them accepting), or after accepting a group-invitation yourself, you can open the Social window, to see who is grouped with you. This also allows you to see their armor and health (some classes have abilities that allow them to heal other players).

The Chat Window and Commands

Slash commands are typed in the console. These always start with a forward slash (EG. /wiki).

Linking items in chat

To link items in chat, simply drag and drop one or more items to the chat window while you have a message typed.

Ghost-chat

To enable ghost chat simply click the little red cross. That is, click the close button instead of using the chat toggle key. From there on, the chat will only appear when someone talks, and will disappear again after a few seconds. In addition, the chat appears somewhat transparent. It reduces clutter and adds a little to immersion. You can configure how long the ghost-chat should last in Options > GUI and Windows, along with the transparency level.

/howl Plays a short animation. Howls with rage in nearby chat.
/jeer Plays a short animation.
/laugh Plays a short animation.

Unlisted Commands

The following commands exist, but are not displayed in the in-game help window.

/mapclear Removes map pins from all maps.
/unstickchar <name of character> Used when it seems impossible to log into a character, typing this command on another character of the same account will transport the stuck character to Anagoge.
/behaviorreport Displays a Behavior Report window for the character. This displays lots of information that could be used for player-run Challenges.
/zapresourcesicefishing Removes all of a character's icefishing traps from the world. The removed items are gone. You can also use this on other craft items. Add the appropriate word to the zap command: brewing, fletching, cheesemaking, icefishing, mushroomfarming. The game will give you a message to confirm along with a code number. If you're sure, type the command again with the code number and everything deployed for that item will be deleted. Game advises only using this when the craft item is stuck (can't select it). Game may also advise you not to deploy items too close to the edge of a zone to avoid getting items stuck.
/particlespam Toggles on/off some particle effects. Useful during world boss events. Produces an info-message in chat stating whether effects have been ENABLED or DISABLED.
