Enable Right Click Menu In Chat

This option enables you to use a custom menu when you right click on a player's name in chat.

Choose Auto-Attack Options

With auto-attack disabled, you'll be able to choose what your opening attack is if you win initiative - attacking with your weapon, using a skill or combat item. If this option is enabled, you can choose between automatically attack with your weapon or using a specific skill.

Toggle progress bars on left pane

This will allow you to choose which, if any, of the following progress bars are displayed on your character pane: progress towards your next level, progress to your next Muscle, Mysticality or Moxie point, and progress towards your current familiar's next pound.

Switch [back] to [compact/full] mode

These options determine how you view the Kingdom. It's easier to view them in-game than it is to explain them.

  • Full mode shows mostly everything. For instance, all the main areas are text links in the top pane, you can view your character's avatar in the character pane, and HP, MP and adventures are clearly labelled.
  • Compact mode is generally for those more experienced with the game, and shows nearly everything in as small a space as possible. Links to main areas are contained within a drop-down list in the top pane, your character's avatar is hidden, and HP, MP and adventures are squeezed into a smaller space.

Note - This will save some loading time, help to conserve bandwidth, and help to correct visibility problems associated with low resolution.

Switch to [Compact/Detailed] Autosale Mode

This option allows you to significantly simplify the format of the autosell page. All the items in your inventory that can be autosold are displayed in a list, through which you can scroll and select items. Hint - To select multiple items at one time, press and hold down the Ctrl button and click on the different items.

[Enable/Disable] Quick Skills

This option toggles the top menu between the default, and one that allows selecting non-combat skills, buffs, and MP/HP restorers, on top of the regular utility and location pulldowns.

Change your time zone

As the name implies, this option lets you change your time zone in relation to GMT, which will display things such as event notification and sent or received KMail relative to your time.

Inventory Options

The following, self-explanatory checkboxes are available:

  • Hide Inventory Images
  • Hide 1h/2h Readout for Weapons
  • Show Individual Accessory Slot Equip Links
  • Sort Equipment By Power Instead of Name
  • Separate Ranged and Melee Weapons
  • Do Not Confirm Discarding
  • Unequip Familiar Equipment when Unequipping All Equipment
  • Close All Inventory Sections By Default

[Show/Hide] Outfit on Character Pane

Provided you are not in compact mode, this option shows/hides the name of the outfit you're wearing in the character pane.

[Show/Hide] HP Restorers on Skills Page

This setting determines whether HP restorers are shown in the items dropdown when the Quick Skills are enabled.

[Show/Suppress] Quest Nudge at Login

This setting enables or disables the quest hint which tells you where to go for quests after logging in.
