{{TOCright}}==The Quest Logwindow==

* '''Quests and Favors''': your 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 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 An easily missed feature, the notepad lets you jot down notes in -game, this . This can be useful to remember [[Words of Power Words]] 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 GUI and Windows > Inventory Item Icon Size'''.

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 towards onto the bottom of panel below that appears below the inventory. Be aware that any items dropped in this way can be picked up by players nearby!
