# About Party

A party in FlyFF is a group of up to 8 players who level together and share the experience and drops they earn. In a party you can set how items are distributed, and you can also use special Party Skills that give bonuses like extra damage, EXP, or drop rate. A good, full party lets you level faster and more comfortably than playing solo, so it’s the core of efficient grinding in the game.

### How to join the party

You can invite other players to your party in two simple ways:

<details>

<summary><i class="fa-circle-1">:circle-1:</i>  <strong>From your friends list</strong></summary>

Open the **Friends** window with **`E`**, right-click a friend and choose **Invite to Party**.

</details>

<details>

<summary><i class="fa-circle-2">:circle-2:</i>  <strong>By clicking their character</strong></summary>

Right-click a player in the game world and choose **Invite to Party**.

</details>

After you send an invite, the other player will see a pop-up and just needs to **accept** window.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you don’t have anyone to play with yet, you can use [**Party Finder**](https://wiki.giantflyff.com/game-world/party/party-finder) – a window that shows parties looking for members, and you can **join them with a single click**.
{% endhint %}

{% endhint %}

### Party window

You open the party window with the **`P`** key. Main options:

<details>

<summary><span data-gb-custom-inline data-tag="emoji" data-code="2696">⚖️</span>  <strong>EXP Share Modes</strong></summary>

<table data-card-size="large" data-view="cards"><thead><tr><th></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Level</strong></td><td>Lower level characters receive more EXP. Good for leveling weaker characters together with higher ones.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Contribution</strong></td><td>The amount of EXP depends on damage dealt. Most often used in a full AoE party, where everyone is hitting something</td></tr></tbody></table>

</details>

<details>

<summary><span data-gb-custom-inline data-tag="emoji" data-code="1f3b2">🎲</span>  <strong>Distribute Item</strong></summary>

How items are shared:

* [x] **Individually** – whoever picks it up, keeps it.
* [x] **Sequentially** – the game distributes items **in order** between party members.
* [x] **Manually** – all drop goes to the **leader**, who distributes it later.
* [x] **Randomly** – the game **randomly** chooses which player gets the item.

### Party leveling

A party has its own level. It increases when members kill mobs [**within party range**](#user-content-fn-1)[^1]**.**

{% hint style="info" %}
The higher the party level, the more points you get for **Party Skills**.
{% endhint %}

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="https://1357653114-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9O2zGT99W8aWv7B4RtlI%2Fuploads%2FxZwi83B2zSHh8cgnpJ5Q%2F2025-12-07_21h14_50.png?alt=media&#x26;token=9b1327ab-3653-4f86-b9f7-e6369be89a0f" alt=""><figcaption><p>If a party member is within range, they won’t be grayed out in the party members list</p></figcaption></figure></div>

### Advanced party

After reaching **party level 10**, you can upgrade it to **Advanced Party** (adv) by `Change` button. The change will bring the following benefits:

* unlocks [**Party Skills**](https://wiki.giantflyff.com/game-world/party/party-skills),
* each new party level gives **more points** to upgrade these skills,
* this is the preferred party type for grinding at higher levels.
