Read the HUD
Character status sits at the top left, the Navigator at the top right, chat at the bottom left and action bars along the bottom. Keep the play area clear by closing windows you no longer need.
Open the right window
Use the main menu to browse Character, Inventory, Skill, Quest Diary and World Map. The menu shows the key beside each action: H for Character, I for Inventory, K for Skill and M for World Map.
The Features submenu gathers Travel Hub, Pet Filter, Equipment Loadouts, Damage Meter, Wardrobe, Shop Search and Encyclopedia. Travel Hub uses Z.
Make the interface useful
Use Character to compare combat stats, Inventory to inspect equipment and World Map to find an area. A screenshot can show one character’s setup; its numbers are not starting-character stats.
