Communication / Chat
Should you happen across a rare item or piece of equipment you want to show to your friends via the log window, you can use the item link function. Once linked to a message in the log window, selecting the link will display the item's information as if it were in their inventory.
Right-click the item you wish to link in a chat message, then select Link from the subcommand menu.
The text "<item>" should now appear in the chat input bar. This is your linked item. Type a message before or after this text if you so desire, then press enter.
If linked successfully, the name of the item should appear in the log window.
Both you and the player you sent the item link to can hover your cursors over the item name to display its information. When the linked item is equipment, you can open the subcommand menu and select Try On to see what it looks like on your character.
