The global client records 47 emotes: 30 default actions known by every character and 17 unlockable actions learned from emote items. The three command-oriented tabs contain 40 entries; the remaining seven collaboration unlocks have no recorded chat commands. Use the emote window for every available action and a listed chat command where one exists. Commands are shortcuts, not automation, and they do not replace normal combat controls.
Emote Window Tabs
The recorded window is divided into Emote: 8, Action: 22, and Communication: 10. Emote includes reactions such as Rage, Laugh, Fear and Sad. Action includes poses, dance, prayer and showing a weapon or wings. Communication includes Greet, Yes, No, Wave, Point and other social responses.
Some entries accept several chat aliases. Use the exact current command shown by the client when a translated or shortened alias does not work.
One-Shot and Held Actions
A one-shot emote plays once and ends. A held emote continues until it is cancelled or another action interrupts it. Held poses are useful for screenshots and social scenes, while one-shot gestures are better for quick communication.
Position the character and camera before starting a held action. The character preset guide covers appearance sharing; it does not change which emotes an account has unlocked.
Unlockable Emotes
Unlockable actions require using the matching emote item. The snapshot includes 17 unlockable entries. Some have a quest or Hidden Cube source, while several source fields are empty. An empty source is not proof of a secret location—treat it as unavailable or undocumented in this version.
The recorded collaboration set contains seven themed emotes, with several tied to named quests. Because event and collaboration availability can change, verify that the quest exists in the current region before following an old acquisition route.
Useful Command Examples
Common recorded aliases include /laugh, /dance, /wave, /yes, /no, /point, /wings and /weapon. Enter commands in a safe area and remember that nearby players may see the associated chat line. Do not paste macros that repeat social actions automatically.
For new-player interface basics, see the beginner guide. The Hidden Cube guide helps with exploration without claiming an exact unlock for every emote.
Collection Checklist
- Check whether the emote is default or item-taught.
- Confirm the current command and available aliases.
- Note whether the animation is held or one-shot.
- Verify the quest, event or exploration source in the live client.
- Use the item on the intended character or account only after reading its binding rules.
Version Notes
Counts, tab membership and command examples reflect global client build 0.0.4387.0. Later events can add, remove or reissue emote items.
