All the information about your character, as well as most of the game options, is accessible from your Character Window. To open the Character Window, double-click on your character.
The Character Window (and all informational windows in the game) can be closed by right-clicking on it. Likewise, most windows in the game can be minimized by clicking on a minus sign ( - ) somewhere in the window.
Name
Your Character Window displays your character’s full name, including profession, any titles, and guild affiliation and guild titles (if any). When viewing others’ windows, you will only see their profession if they have attained the rank of Master or better.
Clothing/Armor/Weapons
The Character Window shows a close-up view of your character, including the clothing and armor currently worn and any weapons you may have at ready. Click on any weapon or item of clothing to identify it.
To change one weapon or item of clothing for another, just drag the old item (if there is one) to your Backpack or the ground, then drag the new item to the appropriate part of the diagram and release.
You must have at least one hand free to drink a potion, and both hands must be free to cast a spell from a spellbook or scroll.
Backpack
Most of the things you own, including gold, your spellbook, and trade items, will go in your Backpack. While it is possible to remove and discard your Backpack, this is a very bad idea – you’ll have no way to carry around money, bandages, food, potions or any other essentials.
Double-click on the Backpack icon to the right of your character in the Character Window, and a separate Backpack window will open, showing you all the contents of your Backpack. Once your pack is open you can remove items to use by clicking and dragging.
Spells
The Backpack is particularly important to spellcasters, because some of the most important aspects of magic involve the Backpack window.
First, your spellbook is usually kept in your Backpack (although it can be carried in your hands, if you want to let the world know you’re a mage). To cast a spell, go to your Backpack window, open your spellbook, and highlight the spell you wish to use. Spell scrolls may be kept in your Backpack or written into your spellbook (drag a scroll over to the book to write the spell in).
Second, the Backpack is where your spell reagents are kept. Whenever you cast a spell, the required reagents are automatically removed from your inventory.
