Revision as of 13:06, 2 December 2015

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 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.

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, this will move them to the end of the inventory.

To drop an item click and drag the item towards the bottom of 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.

The chat window

Slash commands are typed in the console. These always start with a forward slash, /like /this.

Linking items in chat

To link items in chat, simply drag and drop one or more items to the chat window.

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.

Chat rooms

You can create and join chat rooms. Users automatically start in the "Trade" and "Help" channels. You can

/join Custom1 Joins the room "Custom1". If no one is in that channel, it will create it for you.
/join -Custom1 Joins/creates the private chat room "Custom1". Anyone can still join it, but it won't show up under /rooms.
/rooms Displays a list of public chat rooms.
/leave Custom1 Leaves a chat room.

Social

The default message mode is showed left of the place where you type messages. Left click it to cycle between 'GLOBAL', 'NEARBY' and 'GROUP'.

/g morning! Send a message on the global chat (across all game zones)
/n hello Talk to nearby players so they can hear you say 'hello'
/p hello Talk to your current group members and say 'hello'
/r hello Reply to whoever last talked to you with /t
/t Bob hi Tell player 'Bob' the message 'hi'
