Stats -> Keys -> Additional Options and uncheck Use popup help and/or On screen menu buttons.

Key Binding

Learning to bind keys is very important. Keys can be bound to any spell or item in the game, allowing you to:

  • Drink potions during battle quickly.
  • Cast needed spells instantly.

Keys can also be bound to send messages to other players via:
Keys -> Additional Keys

How to Bind a Key

  1. Press S (Stats, default) and go to Keys.
  2. Click an empty slot on the left (says none).
  3. Press the key you want to bind.
  4. Choose a spell or item from the right.

Changing a Binding

Click the small box above spells and press the new key.

Deleting a Binding

Click the binding from the menu and press Delete.

Portals

You can "mark" many areas of the game in order to enable quick access back to that area. To mark an area you must type mark# where # is a number between 0-9. ie mark1.

You can then quickly return to your marks by either using portal scrolls or one of the portal spells.

  • Creare Porta will open a portal to a given mark that you and/or other players can utilize to be transported to the marked area.
  • Praesentis Trans will instantly port your character to the given mark. Other players will not be able to follow.
  • Reditus Cubile will instantly transport you back to your mark1.

To use someone else’s portal, first type:

-port

This lets the game know you wish to use a portal.
