How to Initiate a Ready Check

To confirm the readiness of other party/alliance members, select Ready Check under Party in the main menu, which will open a dialog box.

Selecting "Yes" on the dialog box will initiate a ready check for all party/alliance members.

With this function, there is no need to check with each member individually, which is very convenient.

The Ready Check action can be registered to a hotbar or cross hotbar and accessed by just pressing a single button. That comes in handy if you often play a class or a job that needs to make sure everyone is ready.

Responding to Ready Check
When a ready check is initiated by a party member, a window appears for all party members asking their status. Make sure to respond in time!

* All party members' statuses are displayed after the prescribed time has elapsed. If you do not respond in time, you will be automatically marked as "not ready."
