What does every button and menu do?

As with any MMO, take a few minutes to open each menu and get familiar. It saves you a lot of “I wish I knew this sooner” moments. Keybinds may differ from yours, so go by the menu, not the letter.

S

Appears during special events, usually farming resources for a global pool in exchange for rewards.

V

Everything seasonal: battle pass, weekly challenges, the Season Challenge menu (change your seasonal focus to unlock units), the Campaign menu, the Seasonal Seal system, seasonal runes and the Seasonal Store.

G

Box Exchange menu. A time-limited box plus a permanent box you open with keys from activities, and an attire exchange with a pity system for duplicate skins.

C

The Store. The New Players and Returning Players packs are worth a look, the rest is typical and not too pay to win.

I

Your character page: reset stats, change runes, skins (Character), your mount (Mount), abilities (Skills) and performance stats (Career).

U

All your units: equip doctrines, choose veterancy paths, level units and preset your warband. Some units require unlocking others first.

X

The Doctrines menu: excavate with treatises or use the Doctrine Alchemy system. Check the bottom of the menu for the exchange button.

Tab

Your inventory.

J

Current quests and weekly objectives. Do as many as you can (bandit raids, crafting, fief quests). Daily quests can reset twice a day, so make the most of it.

T

Your main button to start game modes, see upcoming events and begin tutorial missions.

O

Crucial for new and returning players: progress pass and daily login rewards, plus Activities (exchange Territory War tokens, Mastery Scrolls and Supply Tokens) and News.

K

Friends list, create or join groups.

N

The House menu.

Y

Your mailbox, check it for messages and rewards.

Esc

Options: settings and keybindings.

F7

Same menu as O (progress pass, rewards, activities).

W

Support and live assistance.

Top Right (Line Menu)

The game splits players into parallel worlds. If you cannot see friends, switch to the same line.

Bottom Right

Map and FPS/Ping. The minimap is very customizable: circular for close awareness, square for the wider area.

Bottom Left

Chat window. Hide local chat, disable world chat or make alliance/whisper channels to suit your playstyle.
