• Active quest - Players can mark any quest in the quest log as active. All quest objects of the active quest have a "T" highlight by default. All objects, items, and markers related to the active quest have a special "target" icon by their names in all interfaces. Region of the active quest is crosshatched on the map. If an objective of the active quest is complete, highlight disappears for corresponding objects, items and map markers

• New World Map - World Map interface has been reworked. Quest Log and brief description of the selected quest have been added to the map screen, as well as a drop-down list of locations, a location progress bar and a button that toggles the displaying of Astral map and World Map. Raid members of the same party are displayed on the map as blue markers, and members of other parties as orange markers. For a selected quest, the following actions are available:
- open the quest in Quest Log
- mark it as active
- abandon quest
- automove to the quest location
- find the most appropriate quest to complete

• Auto Move - A player can now move to a quest location automatically, either on foot or while mounted. Auto movement can be activated by right-clicking a map marker or by selecting a corresponding option from the Quest Log context menu. Auto movement is interrupted by:

- using an item or ability
- crossing deep water
- being under a control effect

• Normal damage does not interrupt auto movement

• Auto movement is restricted on Astral allods, while being in a party, or in a heroic dungeon

• Quest Objectives - New options have been added. Active quest objectives are always displayed first, they are marked with a "target" icon. Mouseover any objective brings up detailed quest description. Left-clicking the button to the right of the quest name toggles objectives of a given quest, while right-clicking opens a context menu which allows the following:
- make the quest active
- show the quest on map
- show the quest in Quest Log
- automove to the quest

• Additional control buttons are located above the objective list:

- toggle displayed objectives: all quests, current zone only, or active quest

• Find Quest – To find the most important quest of those currently accepted, players can use the "Find quest" button which is located in the World Map interface, in Quest Log and in quest objective list. If no appropriate quest is found, players will receive a new quest. The found quest becomes active automatically

• Context Actions - Players no longer have to open their bag in order to use quest items. Using quest items is possible by pressing context button appearing at the bottom of the screen when necessary. If an item cannot be used, the context action is unavailable

• A Mentoring system is now available. This is a player-to-player activity allowing experienced players to guide novices by answering their questions, helping them with complicated quests, and sharing a general knowledge of the game. For supporting Apprentices, Mentors receive Special Holiday Coins, Marks of Diligence, and gold. These bonus items automatically appear in the Mentor's bag as their Apprentices obtain rewards

•Players who have reached level 6 after patch 3.0.02 may become an Apprentice, with the exception of Incarnations. Any player of level 30 and higher, including an Incarnation, may become a Mentor

• Apprentices tab becomes available after level 30. In order to become a Mentor, enable the "I want to be a Mentor" option. The following information is displayed for each Apprentice: name, status, location, and the rewards received as a Mentor

• Mentors and Apprentices are assigned automatically. If a player doesn’t want to be a Mentor or Apprentice anymore, they can select "Reject Mentor" or "Reject Apprentice”. Involved players will receive corresponding notifications. After rejecting someone, players must wait before being assigned a new Apprentice or Mentor

• A player stops being an Apprentice upon reaching the Mentor's level

• Magpie Helper will provide great assistance to any traveler - not only will it automatically gather loot, it also join in on /dancing and /boasting emotes. The Magpie Helper does not need any food and can be purchased in the Item Shop. Players can try a trial version of the Magpie Helper by completing a quest on Coba Plateau

• Players will soon be able to wear a vanity shoulder piece. A new slot has been added for that on the character window
