NOTE
Click the gold ring beside a quest
name to bring up your Quest Log,
opened to the quest you clicked on.
h Hope/Dread Indicator
Every character has the spirit of an
adventurer. However, your spirit
will change, based on the people,
places and things that you encoun-
ter. When you are in safe places
or in the presence of benevolent
NPCs, you will have increased
Hope. Conversely, you will experi-
ence great Dread when confronted
by a Nazgûl or some ancient relics
of Angmar. You can see your current
level of Hope (blue) and Dread
(red) by examining the effects under
your Vitals bar, or with this Hope/
Dread button on the Radar. See
Spirit
, p. 65, for more details.
i Quest Tracker
The Quest Tracker keeps you up-
dated on up to fi ve quests at a time.
It tells you the name of the quest
you are on and what you have to
do to complete the next objective.
Quest names are color-coded based
on diffi culty relative to your level,
just as monsters are. Once you have
completed part of a quest, your
Quest Tracker automatically updates
to display the next objective.
A
quest does not have to be in your
Quest Tracker for it to update. See
Quests
, p. 68, for more on quests.
j Chat Window
The Chat window is in the lower-left
corner of the screen. This is where
you send and receive chat messages,
see combat messages and more. You
can type messages from your charac-
ter in the Chat box, send other players
private messages, and make your char-
acter perform emotes, such as dancing
(see p. 73). Press e or / to enter
Chat mode, or click on the text entry
box. Press e to send a message.
See Chatting, p. 71, for more
information.
1) Pet Shortcut Bar
When you summon a pet, your
Pet Shortcut bar appears. Use this
Shortcut bar to give your pet com-
mands, such as Attack, Follow, Assist
and Stay. As you gain levels, your pet
will gain additional special skills.
Use the Pet Shortcut bar as you
would your Quickslot bar (but you
cannot assign keyboard commands
to this bar). Note that the Assist
button is a toggle: On or Off.
You can place any of the Pet icons
on a regular Quickslot bar (
1* , p. 56).
This allows you to map keystrokes to
them; it also means you can remove
the Pet Shortcut bar, if you prefer.
Dismiss a pet by right-clicking its
Vitals and selecting Dismiss.
Rename a pet by right-clicking its
Vitals and selecting Rename.
1! XP Bar
The orange bar at the bottom of
the screen is your XP Bar. It displays
your level, cumulative experience
points (XP), and the amount of XP
you need to achieve your next level
(see Leveling Up, p. 78).
Enhanced XP. If you have not
played for awhile, you may notice
that the right end of your XP Bar is
blue. That blue section is your En-
hanced XP bonus bar, which builds
up slowly whenever you are offl ine.
With Enhanced XP, you will earn
double the experience points from
any monsters that you kill — but
not from Quests — all the way up
to one level’s worth of XP! As you
can imagine, Enhanced XP makes it
much faster for infrequent players to
level up. You can see just how much
Enhanced XP that you have earned
by looking at the size of the blue
bar or examining its tooltip.
