Reading the HUD

The full HUD in a fight: the status window and portrait top left, the target frame and the creature's health across the top, the quest tracker and minimap right, and the hotbar along the bottom. — Everything at once, mid-fight. Status and portrait left, your target across the top, tracker and minimap right, hotbar below.

Top-left: your portrait, level, and the HP / MP / FP / EXP bars.
Top-right: the circular minimap; north-up, with red blips for monsters, gold NPC dots, quest “!”/“?” markers, and the in-game clock. Use +/− to zoom.
Bottom: the skill hotbar (pages of 10 slots) and the menu launcher.
Floating markers: a gold “!” over an NPC means a quest to take; a gold “?” means a quest to turn in.

The living world

A shared day/night clock

Everyone shares one sky. A full in-game day passes every real hour, so dawn, dusk and night roll around quickly, and the same for every player, everywhere.

Shared weather

Weather is world-wide and shifts every minute or two; clear, cloudy, rain or storm. Rain and storms give bonus XP, so a downpour is a good time to grind.
