Commands

There are a variety of text commands that one can use ingame to perform certain tasks. These are all preceded by a "/" and are typed into the text box like dialogue. The various different type of text commands can be broken down into a few categories.

Emotes
An emote is a command used by the player to express emotion and add a little flavor to his/her dialogue. There are two types of emotes. Example: ''/em points at a large bird in the sky. You would see this:  points at a large bird in the sky. ''
 * 1) Built-in emote commands, such as smile or salute.
 * Typing in a built-in emote with the word "motion" after it will perform the emote without putting text into the chat log.
 * Typing a built-in emote with the word "text" after it will display the text in the chat log without performing the motion.
 * 1) Typing /em followed by text will do a custom emote without animation.

The following is a list of available built-in emotes ( * = No animation, † =usable by Automatons and Wyverns, # =animation while sitting:)

Job-Specific Emotes
Job-specific emotes were made available with the December 06, 2010 update. In order to use these emotes, you must undertake a Trial of the Magians from one of the Magian Moogles in Ru'Lude Gardens (H-5). Once the respective trial is completed, the job-specific emote can be performed using the /jobemote command.
 * Items can be collected before or during the undertaking of the quest.
 * You do not need to be on the job in question to undertake or complete the quest for that job-specific emote.

Note: The "motion" keyword does not work with /jobemote. Typing in /jobemote with the word "motion" after it will still perform the emote, but unlike with the other "/emote motion" commands, it will still display the normal chat log text associated with that emote.

For specifics on unlocking each job emote, refer to the Trial of the Magians: Emote Trial Categories.
