Shortcut barThis is a featured page

Every character starts out with a shortcut bar that looks something like the one below.

Shortcut bar

This bar, shortcut bar 1, has ten different hotkey slots -- F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7, F8, F9, F10, F11, and F12. In each slot you may put one icon, which will then be assigned to the hotkey that goes with that slot.

Slot 1Look at the bar above. As you can see, the first slot shows my Mage character's level 1 attack skill. Since it is in slot 1, it is assigned to the hotkey F1. So every time I press F1 this attack skill will load up and fire at what ever I'm attacking. All character classes start out with their level 1 attack skill assigned to the hotkey F1. Healers also start with a level 1 healing skill, which is assigned to hotkey F2. All of the rest of a Healer's hotkeys are shifted one to the right.

Slot 2Slot 2 contains the icon of the Pick Up action. Every time I hit F2, my character will pick up the closest item within range.

Slot 3Slot 3 has the Trade action, which allows me to swap items with other players.

Slots 4 and 5Slots 4 and 5 have actions to start two different kinds of parties.

Slots 6 and 7Slot 6 has the Sit/Stand action, and slot 7 opens the guardian system menu.

Slots 8 through 12Slots 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 are currently empty. To fill those in, I need to open one of my menus or my inventory and find the icon of whatever I want to assign a hotkey to. Then I need to drag that icon down on to the bar onto an empty slot.

If I want to remove an icon from a slot, all I need to do is click it and drag it off of the bar. Doesn't matter where I let go of it at, it will disappear from the bar as long as I move it away from the slots. I can even move an icon to any other open slot.

Arrow keys to access the other shortcut barsTwelve slots get filled up really fast, don't they? Lucky for those of us who love hotkeys, there are actually three shortcut bars. To access shortcut bar 2 and shortcut bar 3, simply hit either the up or the down arrow displayed on the far left side of the shortcut bar.

To access the hotkey bars with another hotkey, shortcut bar 1 is ALT+1, shortcut bar 2 is ALT+2, and shortcut bar 3 is ALT+3.

Have you noticed the icon on the upper right side of the bar? This icon will open up the Item Mall.
