UI Guide

The User Interface provides information at a glance for your convenience, as well as access to numerous options and menus, through the use of visual indicators. It can be fully hidden by pressing the [Delete] key.

Character Information

Your character's HP, MP, Awakening Orbs, and other information is displayed in the top-left corner of your screen. Certain characters may display additional information depending on their Character System. If you currently have a Pet summoned, its hunger and MP will be displayed underneath your character's portrait.

Channel/Location

The channel you are currently in, as well as your location within the game, will be displayed in the top-right of your screen. By clicking on the arrow next to your current channel, you can quickly select another channel to switch to, without exiting back to the menu (Can only be used in towns).

Buffs/Debuffs

Your current Buffs and Debuffs are displayed just underneath your Channel/Location info. Small icons will appear to indicate the buffs and/or debuffs your character currently has, as well as an accompanying timer in most cases, to signify how much longer the effect will last. Server-wide buffs that affect every player, are listed in the top-center of the screen, usually for bonus EXP events, or when Unlimited Stamina is in effect.

Active Quests

Upto six of your currently active Quests will be displayed here, in order to easily track your progress. Upon completion of a quest, you are given the option to a quest with a single click while in a town or field. Clicking on a quest will bring up the full information of it in the quest menu. To hide your active quests from your UI, you can disable it from the quest menu, or by pressing the [TAB] key.

Minimap

The minimap indicates nearby NPCs and Party Members in towns. In dungeons, it will also display the number of remaining mobs in an area. You can click the 'M' button next to the minimap to view the Town/World map, or by pressing the [M] key. Pressing the key in a Dungeon will display the Dungeon map. Mail information and item durability warnings are displayed next to the minimap.

Quickslots

Consumable items you wish to use may be placed in your quickslot bar in order to use them. By default, 3 quckslot slots are unlocked, the remaining 3 must be unlocked by purchasing the Extend Quick Slot item from the Item Mall

Skill Slots

The Skill Slots are where you equip your skills to use in combat. By default you start off with 4 slots (A-Slot) unlocked. You can unlock 4 additional slots (B-Slot) by purchasing Skill Slot Change Medal from the Item Mall. Another slot can be unlocked by completing the Transcendence quest. The final slot can be unlocked after completion of the Transcendence quest, by purchasing Skill Slot Expansion (Transcendent) from the Item Mall.

Changing The Skill Layout

Type A
Type B

Prior to the UI Revamp, the Skill Slots were located underneath your character info. Following the revamp, it was relocated to the bottom of the screen by default, but allowed for you to switch back to the old layout. You can switch between skill slot layouts by accessing your options menu [O], and selecting the following option:

Skill Slot UI: Type B

  • If you own a B-Slot, you will see a icon next the to skill bar.
  • Pressing the Spacebar switches between skill bars.
  • Type-B requires less keys to use skills, as the same 5 keys apply to both sides, making it ideal for controller users.
  • You can still switch skill bars back and forth while in Type-A mode, Type-B simply occupies slightly less screen space.

Chat

Megaphone Chat

By using a Nasod Megaphone, or Extreme Nasod Megaphone, you can broadcast a message to the entire channel you are currently in, or the entire server respectively. These messages will appear in the Megaphone Chat, along with the current channel the user sent it from shown next to their name.

Chat

Toggling chat message visibility.

The chat box displays chat messages, announcements, system messages, whispers, and exp/ED information. There are multiple chat tabs in which you can switch to, in order to view specific types of chat messages only. These include:

  • All: View all chat messages and notifications
  • Party: Show only party chat
  • Guild: Show only guild chat
  • Whisper: Show only whispers you have sent/received
  • Couple: Available after becoming a couple with another player, allows you to communicate privately between one another.

Customization

By right-clicking on any of the chat tabs, you can further customize what content you would prefer to be visible in each one, by toggling the options to your liking. The chat boxes can be resized vertically by hovering over the tops of them, and dragging them up or down to the preferred size. The chat boxes can also be freely moved around the screen, by clicking and dragging.
