The Party menu, remade

Find a party in one click

Flag yourself for Auto Party and the server finds a party that fits your job, your level and what you want to do, then shows it on one card to accept. Parties post the jobs they want seat by seat on the Party Board, which anyone can browse. A seat that empties is posted again at once, and trusts hold a seat until a player arrives. Invites, kicks, the lead and Level Sync are all in the same window, across zones. Open it from the main menu's Party row, or Ctrl+Shift+P.

The Masquerade

Build a disguise from the beastmen you fought, a goblin's face or an orc's hide, and walk among their kind. Talk to them, hear their news and what they really think of you, learn their words and their greetings, and hope nobody looks too closely: the wrong word, a spell or the rain on your musk can give you away. Mask Tout Rizz in Lower Jeuno knows who sews the faces.

More for real company

Play alone, or in a party of real players only, and every kill gives bonus experience that a party with trusts does not get. Your multiplier shows over your party list.
