Welcome to Gaia! ::

BASIC INTERFACE

The basic interface is what you see when you start the game. And here are the parts and functions of the interface.



1. Task - The task panel is used to keep track all the ongoing tasks you are doing, and all the finished finished you've done in the game. (default key: T)

2. Map - Displays the map and shows your current location, crew location, friends location, and quest location. The map can be changed from local or global mode by selecting the button of choice on top of the map. (default key: W)

3. "Recrewt" button - This is used to recruit members within the local map area in order to form a crew.

4. Smileys - opens the smileys window to show your emotions in the game.

5. chatbox - click the chatbox to chat

6. open/close crew - opens/closes the crew member window

7. open/close chat interface - opens/closes the chat window

8. open/close PDA - opens/closes the PDA window. The PDA is used to open the map and tasks window. (default key: P)

9. Avatar sit/stand - lets your avatar sit/stand. Sitting hastens stamina regeneration and slowly regenerates health, but lowers your defense. (default key: K)

10. minimizes/maximizes power-up or ring slots

11. Ring Slots - The ring slots are the rings that will be in use for battle.
To activate the power, select a target and select the ring of choice for the target. Once a ring is used, there will be a certain amount of time for its cooldown in order to use again and some stamina will be consumed. From the left slot to right, the keys are from 1 to 8.

12. Inventory - opens/closes inventory (Default Key: R)

13. swaps to ring/power-up slot

14. Health Point - The health point is to determine your current health. It can be increased by increasing your charge level. If damaged, it can be restored by sitting or being healed. If the HP is 0, you are dazed and unable to fight until returned to the null chamber or by the use of defibrillate.

15. Stamina - The stamina bar is to determine if there is enough power available to use a ring. If the stamina is insufficient for a certain ring, the ring can't be used until enough stamina is recovered. Stamina recovers over time and recovers faster when sitting.

16. G'hi Energy - The g'hi energy is a used to power-up certain passive skills you have earned during the game. Once in a field, the G'Hi energy slowly drains in order to power up the passive skills which is found in the character info. G'hi energy is recovered slowest by sitting and the fastest by being in Barton Town.

17. Rage Meter - The rage meter is used to apply a certain amount of force to the ring you wish to use in order to be more effective. The rage meter is divided into 3 parts. The more parts used, the more effective the power of the ring is. To apply the effect, simply select a target and choose the ring of choice. Click, hold, select the power of the rage meter, and release to unleash the energy. The rage meter builds up by attacking, healing, and being damaged. The rage meter resets if you're dazed.

18. Menu - This opens/closes the menu bar.

19. This is your total charge.

20. This displays the current number of charge orbs.

21. This displays your overall charge level (CL). The overall charge level can be computed by doubling one of the highest CL ring in your ring slot and adding the rest of the CL in your ring slots, divided by 8. Blank slots are 1.0 CL.

Example:

has 5 rings

CL of rings: 3.0, 3.0, 2.7, 2.0, 1.0
Computation: [ (3.0 * 2) + 3.0 + 2.7 + 2.0 + 1.0 + 1.0 + 1.0 + 1.0] / 8 = 2.2125 or 2.2

22. This displays/closes your character info.

23. a link to the Back Alley Bargains

Every enemy/player has their own difficulty or strength level. They are represented with colors. As you can see on the screenshot shown above, clicking on an enemy shows its name, health, picture, and color background. This also applies when clicking on a player when checking their strength compared to your level. Also, there are colored markers on the edge of the screen which shows the enemies on the next local area, which also has their respective difficulties. Here are the colors that show the difficulty/strength level of monsters/players:

purple = CHALLENGE PLEASE !!! (very easy)

blue = Is that what you got ??? (easy)

green = I can take you on 1 on 1! (average to your level)

yellow = A WORTHY ADVERSARY !! (above your average level)

red = YOU BIG BULLY !!! (very hard)
