===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'''.

==Selecting Dungeons==
==Selecting A [[Dungeons|Dungeon]]==
-
[[File:DungeonSelect.png|center]]
By click 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, currently cannot be accessed until you unlock them by meeting the requirement(s), and complete all dungeons leading up to it in that region.
 
===Starting A Dungeon===
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 Item Level, as well as at least be in the level range for that dungeon in order to start. The latter option bypasses these requirements completely.
 
===Indicators===
Sometimes dungeons, and region tabs will be marked with specific icons.
* Dungeons and Regions marked with a '''Q''' indicate that an active quest is available there.
* Dungeons marked with a Flag icon indicates that Hero's Call is active, and will reward a Heroes Coins upon completing if '''Start Dungeon''' is selected, which will also have a flag next to it.
* Regions marked with Chains, indicate that the region's Secret Dungeon is currently open.
* Secret Dungeons with a Padlock over them, indicate that they are closed. You can hover over them to see the next date in which it will be open.
