There is a lot of different game features and system interfaces to get used to when playing the game. Read through this page here to learn what all that stuff in the game window does.
|| || || || || || || || ||
Basic interfaces...
At the bottom of the game window, you'll see the main user interfaces. From it, you can open all game menus such as your inventory or quest logs. You'll also be able to see your character's vitals: health, mana, SD, and AG. There are 4 quick slots that consumable items can be assigned to, and 10 skill slots which attacking skills can be assigned to. You can assign items to the desired quick slot by dragging and dropping it to the slot, however the skill slots must be assigned through the 'skill menu.' To open the skill menu, click the button in the very center of all the interface (next to the skill slots). Finally, the experience bar at the very bottom keeps track of all the EXP Points you've gained. You have to fill this bar 10 times to increase your character level. There is a number next to the bar, on the right, which displays which bar you are on.
At the top of the game window, you may find a handful of other interfaces and tooltips. Starting in the top-left corner of the screen, you'll see the current server, the map name you are in, and the exact map co-ords your character is standing at in that map. You can click the server display to quickly change servers without needing to log out. Next to this information is the 'MU Helper.' The MU Helper is an auto-attacking function that can help you fight monsters and gain EXP over long periods of time. Status effects and buffs will appear in the top-center of the screen.
Other interfaces may appear from time to time as you progress through the game. When a quest becomes available, a pop-up menu will appear which displays quest tasks. You can click the tasks in this window to quickly move to the quest task location. If you join or create a party, you'll see details about your party in a pop-up type menu, which you can freely move around the screen. Additionally, when you equip a pet, mount, or muun, you'll see its health in a similar pop-up type menu.
During any mini-game entry period, small icons will appear which can be clicked to quickly enter the mini-game. There is also usually a square "event" button that is used for any current on-going promotional event.

Character name display... #
A character's name is displayed in yellow text directly above the character. If a character is in a guild, their guild name appears above their name in green text. If a character is in a 'gens,' their gens' symbol will appear to the left of the character name display. If a character has a pentagram item equipped, its elemental type is displayed to the right of the character name display. When a character opens a 'personal store' the character name display changes to show a shop name instead.

Character commands... #
You can use character commands to interact with other characters. There are technically two different character command menus. One menu is opened by pressing the [D] key, while the other is opened by pressing [Alt]+[Right-click] on another player. Notable, the menu opened from right-clicking allows you to view another character's hunting log and also allows you to assign your MU Helper with the other player.
