Action Window
The Action window contains buttons for some of the most frequently
used commands in the game. Simply click on an icon in the Action
window to perform that action.
● The Recall button will quickly teleport your character back to his or
her bind point, which is typically just inside your home city (see
“Binding and Recalling” on page 18).
● The Stop Action button will stop various continual actions (such as
Attack) or those that have a delay (such as Recall).
● The Attack button will initiate combat with your target. Your character will continue to
attack the intended target until one of you dies or you click on the Stop Action button.
● When you have a resource targeted, and you are standing close enough with the proper
tool in your hand, clicking on the Gather button will make your character gather
resources.
● The Trade button is used to exchange money or items with another player or with
certain NPCs (non-player characters) in the game, such as Pawn Brokers.
● The Greet button is used to interact with an NPC for when you want to, say, join a
trade or adventure school, or talk about a quest. Select an NPC and click on the Greet
button to initiate communication. This initial dialogue will often explain the NPC’s
function and contain highlighted and underlined text. You can click on the underlined
text to continue the dialogue or perform an action (such as joining a school).
● The Create Item button provides a quick way to create items, provided you are near a
suitable machine and you have the formula, the proper resources and the correct tool.
Status Window
The Status window provides a quick and easy way to view your
character’s current Health and experience. The red bar indicates
Health — when it’s full your character is at full Health, and
when it’s empty your character is dead (see “Death and Resurrection” on page 23). The
turquoise bar shows how far your character has progressed toward the next level in his or
her current Adventure school. The purple bar shows progress in your current Craft school.
Compass
The center of the compass indicates the direction your character is facing.
Latency Window
This meter shows the extent to which Internet latency may be affecting your gameplay.

STARTING TOWN
Every character gets his or her start on one of the many Spirit Isles off the coast of the
main continent. These are relatively safe places, where you can practice early fighting and
craft skills, and get a better feel for some of the challenges that lie ahead.
The Spirit Isles contain all of the starting adventure and craft schools, as well as their
respective trainers. On a basic level, these islands also have the machines and resources
you will need to practice basic trades, as well as plenty of creatures and monsters against
whom you can sharpen your fighting skills. Once you are ready to face bigger challenges,
you can teleport from the Spirit Isles to other areas of Istaria. But, be warned: once you
leave the shelter of the Spirit Isles, you can never return to their shores.
Welcome to Istaria
