Open the party window

Press P for party management while chat is not active. The party HUD is separate from the management window.

Party and guild invitations open a named Accept/Decline prompt. You do not need an Alt shortcut to accept. Use a current launcher client so the invitation window is available.

Help with a chapter

Nearby party members can receive qualifying quest marks. Echo hunts have stricter caller-specific credit: the caller must damage the enemy and remain alive and nearby.

A party can make an expedition safer, but it does not remove possession or permanent death. Agree on a retreat point before a difficult encounter.

The guild hall

Press G while chat is not active to open the guild hall. Creating a guild consumes one carried Emperium. Features include membership, roles, notices, guild chat, shared storage, growth, and support skills. Use /g followed by your message for guild chat.

Guild storage is permission-controlled and available in towns. It does not recover items carried by a permanently fallen character. Emergency Call brings eligible members within the same map and instance; it is not a world-wide teleport.

Emblems, alliances and rivals

The guild leader designs the guild's emblem in the guild window's Banner & Allies tab: choose a shape, a division, field colours, a symbol and its colours. The emblem appears beside the guild name on nameplates.

A guild can propose an alliance to up to three other guilds; the other guild must accept. A guild can also name up to three rivals. Allied guild names show in green and rivals in red, and allies never harm each other during a siege.

Other social windows

Whispers, a friends list, chat rooms and mail are available; see Whispers, friends, chat rooms & mail. An ignore list is not currently documented as implemented. A familiar button or shortcut from another server should not be taken as proof that its underlying system exists in Asterveil.

Keep group instructions clear, and tell your party if you are possessed before entering a risky fight.
