Project Artisan's game client comes with its own custom interface: a new character HUD, a refreshed chat window, a navy-and-gold hotkey bar, an Artisan stage in the equipment window, a new Daily Check-in calendar, monster target frames, and windows for our custom features - all in the same navy-and-gold style. They are part of the client, so you get them by keeping your game up to date with the patcher.
Prefer the original look? Each part can be switched back to the classic client - see Classic look.
Player HUD
The HUD replaces the old Basic Info window. It shows your name, job, Base and Job level, HP and SP bars with exact numbers, Base and Job EXP, weight and Zeny at a glance.
- Alt+V switches between the full HUD and a compact version.
- Drag it anywhere on screen - the menu buttons stay attached to it.
Chat window
The chat window has its tabs along the bottom, with five tabs ready to use:
| Tab | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Main | Everything: public chat, whispers, party and guild chat, the trade channel, item and system messages. |
| Market | Only the #trade channel - buying and selling posts. Everyone joins #trade automatically when they log in. |
| Party | Party chat and party messages (members, item sharing, settings). |
| Guild | Guild chat and War of Emperium announcements. |
| Battle | Battle and Battleground messages. |
Typing
Press Enter to open the input row above the tabs.
- The speech bubble on the left picks who you talk to - click it to switch between normal (cream), party (amber) and guild (green) chat. It follows what you type too: starting a line with
%(party) or$(guild) turns it the matching colour. - The gold arrow on the right sends your message, just like pressing Enter.
Trading
To post in the Market tab, talk in the #trade channel: type #trade in the small name box at the left of the input row (where you would type a name to whisper someone), then your message in the main box, for example S> Valkyrian Shoes +7, 15m. To send everything you type there for a while instead, use @channel bindto #trade (and @channel unbind to stop). Trade posts show up in both Main and Market.
Chat Settings
Type @chatset or press Ctrl+Shift+C to open the Chat Settings window. Your choices are saved on your PC.
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Opacity | How see-through the chat window is: Light, Very Light or Standard. |
| Fade when idle | After 10 seconds without new messages the chat fades almost completely, and comes back when a message arrives, while you type or when you move the mouse over it. |
| Timestamps | Puts the time in front of every chat line. |
| Clock | 24-hour or 12-hour time for the timestamps. |
| Mention sound | A soft chime - and a gold highlight on the line - when someone says your character's name. |
Classic look
At the bottom of the Chat Settings window, the LOOK section lets you switch each part of the custom interface back to the original client look. Each one has its own ARTISAN / CLASSIC button:
| Switch | ARTISAN | CLASSIC | When it changes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Player HUD | Our HUD | The original Basic Info window | Right away |
| Chat window | Navy and gold, tabs at the bottom, chat-type bubble and send arrow | The original white and grey chat window with its tabs on top | Right away |
| Interface art | Our chat bar, chat icons, Menu button, hotkey bar, equipment window stage and Daily Check-in | The original images | Chat bar and icons right away; the rest after a relog |
Your choices are saved on your PC, and each switch works on its own - for example, the classic chat window with our HUD.
Headgear view
@headgear chooses whether you see headgear and garment sprites on players, including your own character. It only changes what you see on your screen - never anyone's stats, and other players keep their own choice.
| Command | Headgear and garments are... |
|---|---|
@headgear competitive |
hidden on competitive maps only - the War of Emperium castles and the King of Emperium arenas - so fights are easier to read. This is the default. |
@headgear hide |
always hidden, everywhere (a clean view, e.g. in busy towns). |
@headgear show |
always shown, competitive maps included. |
Type @headgear on its own to see your current setting. It is saved on your account.
Target frames
When you hit a monster, a frame appears at the top of the screen with its name, level, race, element, size and HP.
MVPs and bosses get a wider gold frame, and MVPs also show your share of the damage dealt so far.
Windows
| Window | How to open it | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Artisan (Auto-Attack) | @artisanat or Ctrl+Shift+M |
One place for Artisan Auto-Attack: switch Auto-Combat, Auto-Rebuff and Auto-Restock on or off, see your drop-rate tier and free time left. EDIT buttons open the Auto-Rebuff and Auto-Restock windows. |
| Auto-Potion | @autopot or Ctrl+Shift+P |
Drag a healing item from your inventory onto the HP or SP slot, type the % at which to use it, press Enter. Needs a Premium Battle Pass. |
| Auto-Rebuff | EDIT on the Artisan window | 10 slots. Drag a buff skill from your skill window, or a buff item from your inventory, into a slot - it is re-applied whenever it runs out. |
| Auto-Restock | @autorestock, or EDIT on the Artisan window |
8 slots. Drag a usable item in, set a target amount and a trigger %. Example: target 300 at 10% tops you back up to 300 once you are down to 30. It takes from your Kafra storage first; some staple items can also be bought with Zeny. |
| Chat Settings | @chatset or Ctrl+Shift+C |
Chat look and sounds, and the Classic look switches. See Chat Settings. |
| Battle Pass | @bp |
Rewards, Daily and Weekly missions, and the season costume. See Battle Pass. |
| Costume Gacha | Click the Costume Gacha or Gacha Exchange NPC in Prontera | Draw x1 / x10 with card-by-card reveals, your pity progress, and the Exchange tab. See Costume Gacha. |
| Brute Refine | Click the Brute Refiner NPC in Prontera | Drag an item onto the anvil, a catalyst into the furnace, and STRIKE. See Brute Refiner. |
| Card Collections | Click the Item Collector NPC in Prontera | Your sets in progress and completed, the cards each needs, deposits and the bonus switches. See Card Collections. |
Typing the command again (or pressing the window's X) closes the window.
Troubleshooting
- A window or the HUD doesn't appear: run the patcher so your client is up to date, then restart the game.
@bpopens a text dialog instead of the window, or clicking the Costume Gacha, Brute Refiner or Item Collector does nothing: your client is out of date - run the patcher.- The chat tabs are in a different order than Main, Market, Party, Guild, Battle: restart the game - the order is put back at every start.
