Party
What is a Party?
A party is where players group together to aid each other in leveling, you and your party members in the same area share experience. There are two types of experience distribution, level based and contribution based, these are explained later.
Creating A Party
To create a party you need two people. The person that wants to be leader will need to send an invitation to the second person, once they accept the party will be created.
Inviting People to a Party
There are three ways you can invite a person to a party, note that they must be on the same channel as the leader not already be in a party and an invite cannot be sent while the person is fighting. You must also have 'Allow Join' on.
Method One If you are standing next to the person you wish to invite you can alt+click on them and select 'Invite to join party' in that menu.
Method Two If the person you wish to invite is on your friends list you can right click on their name and select 'Invite to join party' there.
Method Three When neither of these options are available you can use the party invite command in the chat bar. Type /PartyInvite player and the invitation will be sent.
There is also the 'Party Finder' option. When 'Allow Join' is checked, other players can join your party from the 'Party Finder'.

Change
When the party reaches level 10 you can change to an advanced party by clicking this, you can then name the party and gain access to the party skills. If you do not change the party into Advance, the party will not lvl any further.

Resting: Party members recover 1.5 times faster. If the party leader is an Assist, party members recover 1.8 times faster.
