==[[Skills|Skill]]/Item Slots==
==Character==
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'''.
[[File:UI - Character.png|270px|right|thumb|Character overview window.]]
===Changing The Skill Layout===
The '''Character''' screen is an overview of information about your character. Here you can manage your equipment and costumes, which can be equipped/unequipped by dragging and dropping, or right-clicking. You can also select other options to further strengthen, or customize your character, as well as view your normal or '''[[El Resonance]]''' level, and guild name.<br/>
[[Image:UISKILLSLOTA.png|thumb|Type A]]
Currently worn '''[[Titles|Title]]''' is shown in the top right corner of the window, from where it can also be changed. The section under your slots consists of a button that opens up '''[[Preset System]]''' settings, a light bulb icon that allows you to switch between the light and the dark style of the UI and equipment page pagination buttons in between.<br/>
[[Image:UISKILLSLOTB.png|thumb|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:
Your character's Combat Power, Defensive Power, and  '''[[Attributing Equipment|Elemental Resistances]]''' are displayed in the lower portion of the window. More detailed information about your current stats can be accessed by clicking the magnifying glass button next to your Defensive Power. Also, there is another row in between that briefly recaps your PvP/Ereda progress, allowing you to look up more comprehensive data, including i.e. your win rate against a certain character.

===Skill Slot UI: Type B===
 
*If you own a B-Slot, you will see a [[File:Space.png]] icon next the to skill bar.
==Skill/Item Slots==
*Pressing the Spacebar switches between skill bars.
:''Main Article: [[Skills]]''<br>
*Type-B requires less keys to use skills, as the same 5 keys apply to both sides, making it ideal for controller users.
The Skill Slots are where you equip your Skills to use in combat. 8 slots are available at the start, and advancing to [[Transcendence]] unlocks two additional Skill Slots. Upon unlocking either of your Hyper Active Skills, a Hyper Active Skill Slot will be unlocked, which can only be occupied by Hyper Active Skills. Advancing to [[3rd Jobs]] unlocks an additional 5 slots that can be accessed by pressing the spacebar. This is primarily used for [[Force Skills]], however normal Skills can be equipped here as well. Despite this, you may only carry a maximum of 10 normal Skills and 5 Force Skills at a time.  Advancing to [[Master Class]] will unlock your Master Skill Slot, which can only be occupied by Master Skills.
*You can still switch skill bars back and forth while in Type-A mode, Type-B simply occupies slightly less screen space.
 
===Quick Slots===
===Quick Slots===
'''Quick Slots''' are used to equip consumable items from your inventory, such as potions, food, drinks, [[Monster Card System|Monster Cards]], and other consumables. These items can only be used during gameplay if they are equipped to one of your quick slots, and will trigger the item's cooldown when swapping items in a field or dungeon. Equipping them in a town or resting area, skips the cooldown. By default, 3 quckslot slots are unlocked, the remaining 3 must be unlocked by purchasing the '''Extend Quick Slot''' item from the '''Item Mall'''.

==Partying With Friends==
===Couple/Marriage===
Forming parties is very beneficial, as you can receive benefits such as increased drop rates, fever buffs, and the ability to clear dungeons faster due to playing as a team. There are a multitude of ways you can form parties, and to do so, you must either not be in a party, or be the leader of your own party (indicated by a star next to your name), and the other player(s) must not already be in a party themselves.

By right-clicking directly on your character, or on your portrait, you will be given an option to invite another player to your party. You will be given a text box, in which you can manually enter the name of the person you wish to add.


===2. Community/Friend/Guild List Invite===

Skill/Item Slots

Main Article: Skills

The Skill Slots are where you equip your Skills to use in combat. 8 slots are available at the start, and advancing to Transcendence unlocks two additional Skill Slots. Upon unlocking either of your Hyper Active Skills, a Hyper Active Skill Slot will be unlocked, which can only be occupied by Hyper Active Skills. Advancing to 3rd Jobs unlocks an additional 5 slots that can be accessed by pressing the spacebar. This is primarily used for Force Skills, however normal Skills can be equipped here as well. Despite this, you may only carry a maximum of 10 normal Skills and 5 Force Skills at a time. Advancing to Master Class will unlock your Master Skill Slot, which can only be occupied by Master Skills.

Quick Slots

Quick Slots are used to equip consumable items from your inventory, such as potions, food, drinks, Monster Cards, and other consumables. These items can only be used during gameplay if they are equipped to one of your Quick Slots, and will trigger the item's cooldown when swapping items in a field or dungeon. Equipping them in a town or resting area, skips the cooldown.

Your Skill Slots, Quick Slots, special slots, and buff list can all be resized and freely moved around on your screen. They can be reset back to their default sizes and positions by pressing the reset buttons in the options menu.

Begin Playing

Starting A Dungeon

Main Article: Dungeons

By clicking the Dungeon button, you can select the region and dungeon in which you wish to play in, granted you have them unlocked. Dungeons that are grayed out cannot be accessed until you unlock them by meeting the requirement(s), and complete all dungeons leading up to it in that region. Some will not be accessible at certain times, such as Secret Dungeons being exclusive to 2 days of the week each or Giant Boss dungeons appearing every 2 hours.


On the majority of dungeons, you have the option to either automatically queue up for a party, by pressing the larger Start Dungeon (F8) button, or immediately enter as-is with Start with current members. When queuing, you are required to meet the minimum Appropriate Combat Power, as well as at least be in the level range for that dungeon in order to start. The latter option bypasses the level requirement but not the Combat Power one. Only 95% of the Combat Power requirement is needed to enter the dungeon. Do note that meeting the minimum Combat Power requirements does not guarantee that the dungeon can be cleared with an ease and within a convenient amount of time, if at all.
