Editing Beginner's Guide (section)

== The User Screen ==

The user screen is where you get see everything that is going on around you and how to talk to friends, etc...  Here is an example of what the user interface (UI) may look like:

1. These are a few options available to you, such as turning on best graphical performance or showing monsters on the minimap.

2. This is your exp bar, this shows how much exp you have gained so far for that level. Getting 100% exp means that you go up to the next level.

3. This is your mana bar, this shows you how much mana you have left. Once this is gone you will not be able to cast spells, but you can fill you mana back up again with mana potions or by waiting until you recover it naturally.

4. This is your health bar, showing you much health you have left before dying. Dying means that you will get sent to the closest town.  Also, when you reach level 10, when you die you will loose a certain amount of exp.

5. The ! or ? mark means that you have some wanting to trade with you, invite you to their faction/squad, to add you as a friend, and so on.

6. This is your minimap, which shows you where other players are (the green dots) and NPCs, such as weapon vendors (yellow dots and sometimes the orange ones) and the quest givers (the orange dots and sometimes purple ones).

7. This indicates the time of day in Perfect World.

8. This is telling you where you currently are, and as you can see I'm at the Inn of the Eagle.

9. These are your coordinates, telling you your exact position in Perfect World. This comes in handy when you are trying to find quest givers and possibly people selling things.

10. This shows you your character's current level.

11. If you click this it will bring up your Character Info Screen, looking like this:

This tells you all you characters stats, defense, etc.. Also, when you level, this is were you go to spend your attribute points. (Shortcut Key: ALT+C or C)

12. This brings up your quest menu. (Shortcut Key: ALT+Q or Q)

13. This is an useful and important tool, clicking this will give you the option to:

:Change Char
:Edit Your Graphics
:Exit The Game
:Open Up Help
:and Contact A GM

14. Public Relations: If you click this it will bring up links to your friends, the actions window, and all things to do with interacting with the rest of Perfect World.

15. This will bring up the skill list of all the spells that you currently have.

16. This will open your bag/inventory, showing you all the items that you have.

17. This is a skill bar were you would drag and drop spells. If I drag and drop a spell into slot 1, then if I press the "1" key that spell would now cast.

18. This is how you put smilies into your chat text.

19. This is your chat box, you use this to speak with users, party members, friends, factions and so on. You do this by pressing enter and typing what you want to say.

20. This is another skill bar, but instead of using 1 - 8 keys it uses F1 - F8 keys.

21. This is your safety lock status. The safety lock prevents you from using some functions such as trading for a short period of time after you have just logged in.

22. These are various tools like the encyclopedia, coordinates assistant, and protections options. You can click the large bottom-left button to access the Boutique.
 
That wraps up the user screen.
