In this tutorial we will take a closer look at the action library and the various options you have at your disposal within the Entropia Universe.

The action library is divided into several sections of information, and we will go through the options on a per-section basis. All the information in this tutorial is available in the universe as well, but it might be useful in case you cannot seem to find a specific action you are looking for.

Avatar

• Add as disciple - Adds the selected Entropia Universe participant as your disciple for mentoring and introducing them to the universe. You will need at least 100 in a specific skill before you can do this.
• Add as a friend - Adds the selected avatar to your friends list.
• Follow - Your avatar will follow the selected avatar. A very useful feature if you are grouping with other avatars.
• Private chat - Allows you to have a private (non-public) chat with the selected avatar.
• Private trade - Allows you to privately trade with the slected avatar. A word of warning: all trades you make are final, and MindArk will not offer you any compensation for lost or stolen items. Ensure you know the value of the items traded, and be aware that other participants might not be as honest as you hope.
• Remove - Removes the selected name from your friends list.
• Rename - Allows you to rename a person on your friends list. This can be useful to add a little reminder of why they are on your friends list. A common practise for this is to prefix pilots with PILOT, for when you are looking to travel to other planets (or asteroids).
• Send message - Sends a private message to the selected person on your friends list.
• Society invite - Invites the selected avatar to join your society.
• Team invite - Invites the selected avatar to join your team (you will have to create a team first).
