What is a party?

By forming a party with others, players will be able to defeat monsters and complete guildleves of a difficulty unthinkable to the solo adventurer. A single party may contain up to 8 characters.
 
 
 Forming a Party
 To form a party, simply target and select the player that you wish to invite, and then select the Invite option that appears. If your invitation is accepted, the party will be formed automatically, with the person who sent the initial invitation becoming the party leader. The leader is the only member of the party who can invite additional members.
 * Players who are already in a party cannot be invited.
 
 Accepting a Party Invite
 If another player invites you to a party, a Join party? button will appear on your screen. Select this to bring up a prompt displaying the options of Yes, No, and Cancel. Choose Yes to accept the invitation.
 
 
 Party Commands
 - Promote
 The Promote command allows players to change the party leader. It may only be carried out by the current party leader.
 
 - Oust
 The Oust command allows players to remove members from a party. It may only be carried out by the current party leader.
 
 - Leave
 The Leave command allows players to disband from a party.
 
 
 Once a Party is Formed
 Following the formation of a party, the unit frames of all party members will be displayed together in the lower right portion of the screen. The party leader will be designated by the presence of a yellow diamond to the immediate left of the leader’s name.
