Union Party

The Union Itself

Comprise of up to 30 people, separated into 5 subgroups (or teams) of upto 6 people each
Subgroup/teams does not have to be filled before moving people to a new one
Party buffs, summon runes, and all traditional party traits are limited to the individual subgroup/team, except...
- Party chat is viewable by the entire Union
- Kill credits are shared by the entire Union (traditional "in range" limitation still applies)
- Experience gain (if they are "in range") is shared (and split/reduced accordingly) by the entire Union (reduction occurs even if some members are not "in range", just like a traditional party)
There is only one leader, the leader can be in any position on the Union chart
There is only one sub-leader, the sub-leader can be in any position on the Union chart
A Union Party is NOT a perfect party, even if you have exactly 7 members
All leader resurrection will bring you to the main leader
Loot (Only people "in range" and fits into one of the following categories are considered for loot)
- Master loot : Leader gets all the drops
- Group loot : In order of list for each subgroup/team, exactly like a traditional party, subgroup kills, subgroup loots
- Random loot : Random across entire union, anyone kills, anyone may get it

Union parties can only be created once you have established an initial basic party
Once you have a basic party created the party leader can then right-click their character portrait and select Create Union
- The Union dialogue will come up asking for initial settings to be established
  - Invitation settings
  - Loot settings
- Once these settings have been established the union can be created

Any member can access their Union options by right clicking on their portrait / hp/mp/sp bar object and selecting Config Union

Change Union or personal settings in Config Union
- Loot options
- Invite options (Auto or Manual)
Dismantle Union (This effectively kicks everyone)
Leave Union
Invite member (can use /party <name>)
Kick member
Move members to another group (switch one box for another, whether they be filled, or empty)
Use /alert or /raid (sends message to all members in purple text, similar to the /yelling command)
Designate leader
Designate subleader

Anyone in the same zone without a party can : /join <name of any party member> if the Union has invitation set to "Auto", otherwise they will have to be invited normally (or /party invited) by the Leader or Sub-leader.

F1 - F6 works for your subgroup, additionally, Ctrl + 1 - 5 will switch your party mini bar to the different subgroup, so in theory, you can select any of the 30 slots in the Union through the use of Ctrl, #1 - 5, and F1 - F6, though I too find this extremely inconvenient.

If your /alert (or /raid) message contains quotes, only the quoted portion will be displayed
- /alert Watch out for "someone" will show the following in the chat box
- [Union] someone
