The Adventurer's Journal is a group were 7 HUDs, 2 of which are important, are located at. It used to be represented by a journal on the top right corner until v2.10, where all the HUDs and journal itself are now located within your Viking, to access it, slimply click on your Viking.

Represented by a map and an exclamation mark, this is where you access your active quests.

Here, it shows a more in-depth look at the active quests: the NCP that gave you the quest, the current step you need to complete, and the Rewards. You can also read the last piece of dialogue from the quest by clicking on Recap.

The Quest List on the right lists all the quests you currently have accepted and not yet completed. The one listed in orange is the one whose details are shown on the left, and whose instruction will appear in your main screen under the Quest Arrow. To switch from one quest to another, just click on the name of the quest you want to play from the list.

Represented by a piece of paper and a magnifying glass, this is where you see all the education recoruses gained throughout the game.

Whenever you're in the middle of a quest, some quests present educational resources in the form of a short summary or vocabulary word, sometimes highlighted in blue. After completing the quest, you can check said resource in Field Guide - in there, to the left side, it shows the topics and sub-topics. Clicking on one will show the topic divided in three sections:

  • Vocabulary Words - The words that will be highlighted in the description;
  • General Information - A more in-depth description of said subject;
  • Experiments - The lab sections that you completed, once clicked, will supposedly lead you to the respective quest;

Some subjects have empty fields and for unknown reasons, all the subjects involving the Experiments tab are broken as it will lead to the Quest List without the respectve quest or steps.

By clicking on Standard Page, you are shown to which standards of Next Generation Science the topics learned through some quests correspond (yes this is an educational game).

Represented by a Viking, this is where your Viking information and profile are located at.

On the top left corner is your Viking portrait, to its right is your privelege status (File:Non-member dragon icon.png for non-members users, File:Member dragon icon.png for Trial and 1 Month or higher Membership members), your UDT Stars progress, your nationality*, gender and overall XP progress (represented by Adventurer XP), clicking on it will show your:

  • Viking/Adventurer's level progress;
  • Active dragon's level progress;
  • Fishing's level progress;
  • Farming's level progress;
* - While you can change your flag at any moment by clicking on it and selecting one, you can't remove the flag entirely, the moment you choose any flag, it will always remain there with no way to revert back to "? flag".

Below the Viking protrait is your current Viking/Adventurer level and Viking name, which you can change it for the cost of 50 Gems. Under the Viking name is where your Clan will be located at and besides it, the number of trophies you have. If you are part of a clan, it shows your clan name and crest. Clicking on the crest will open your Clan page.

On the downer section, it shows your current Dragon Trainer Titles (that are earned through gameplay; you can change it by clicking on it), UDT points, and Dragons.

This part of the profile is also visible for other players, and you can see theirs by clicking on them.

On the right there's the message board. The different tabs are for All messages (including System messages); messages from other players (including your friends); Challenge requests from other players; Messages from your clan; News from your clan. The last two tabs won't appear if you don't have a clan.

In the other players messages and clan messages, you can click on the letter icon at the bottom, to publish a message that will be visible on your profile. Other players also can send you message this way, even if they are not your friends.
