    1. This is your character. This location is used to dress and equip your character by click and dragging items from this area. You can drag clothes, weapons and armor from locations such as your backpack and your bank and drop them in this area to equip them on your player.


    2. This is your backpack. Double click it to open the pack and see its contents. This is where you can store any items you find or loot from monsters. Make sure not to over load your back pack as it may become too heavy for you to move.


    3. This is your profile. This book will tell you how old your character is. You can also add information in this book that will be visible to other players.


    4. This is the party manifest book. Use this book to create parties with other players. This can be useful when going hunting in large groups or for events.


    5. These are equipment slots. Weapons and small items of clothing/armor may appear hear to make it easier for you to equip and un-equip.


    6. This is the paperdoll menu:

    HELP : contains the link to the support site, also allows you to call a Game Master to ask a question, you can also get help if you are physically stuck among other things.

    OPTIONS : everything to configure your interface, text colors and all. It also contains the macro menu. The option screen is detailed in another article. Check the 2D User Interface section.

    LOG OUT : Speaks of itself.

    GUILD : This button is not active on this server.

    PEACE/WAR : This toggles and indicates if you are in War mode or not. (you need to be in war mode to attack enemies)
