Editing Deck (section)

==Hand and Combat Bar Customization==
All Glyphs in the Combat Bar are "locked." This means when a Glyph is used, the slot will remain empty until it's Glyph is available again, and no other Glyph can appear in that slot. This can change later, after you learn about "Deck Building." (See "Locked Glyphs" for more information.)

Eventually, you can talk to nearly any Adventure Trainer about "deck building" and unlock the ability to customize your deck and Combat Bar. Until you unlock this advanced technique, the interface to customize your deck will not be available. Once this feature is unlocked, you can choose to keep Glyphs locked or unlocked.

When a Combat Bar slot is unlocked, any Glyph can be dealt to that slot. Greater control over where a drawn Glyph is dealt can be achieved by dragging the icon for that Glyph down to a slot in the Decks window.

Assigning a Glyph in this fashion means that, when that Glyph is drawn, it will always be dealt to that assigned slot first. (Provided the slot is open.) If the slot is currently holding a Glyph, then the assigned Glyph will simply be dealt to the next available slot, if there is one. Multiple skills can be assigned to a single slot and the same skill can be assigned to multiple slots. Note that no matter how many slots you assign a skill to, you cannot be dealt more copies of the Glyph for that skill than exist in your deck.

Assigning Glyphs to specific slots allows a high degree of control over the deck system and lets you focus more on the unfolding action than on your hand. For example, you could assign all your healing spells to one slot, ensuring that whenever you are dealt a healing Glyph you know where it will appear.

A slot can be cleared of assigned skills by right-clicking on it in the deck builder interface.

Assigning Glyphs is discrete from locking Glyphs to a slot, described below.

The Utility Bar will appear below your combat bar, and will automatically become available after leaving the Isle of Storms. The Utility Bar can hold “non-combat” skills and items, such as bait for fishing, potions, and certain non-combat spells.

The combat Bar will always be present during combat while the utility hotbar will be present at all times by default. Entering combat mode (by pressing Z or using any combat skill) will make the Combat Bar appear while exiting combat mode will make it disappear.

Note that when you unlock deck building and the Utility Bar, you do so for your character and not for your account. If you create a new character, you will need to unlock these advanced techniques again for that character.
