Clicking on the gear shows the Settings menu.
Settings can be found by clicking on the gear-shaped icon in the top-right corner of HabitRPG then clicking "Site" from the drop-down list (direct link).
Settings Subsection
The "Settings" subsection on the settings page controls some of the minor gameplay options that can be changed to suit your preferences.
Language
HabitRPG is set by default to English, but other languages are available. Some translations might still be incomplete. If you have some language skills and want to get involved, see Guidance for Linguists.
Show Header
This check box reveals the player's avatar, party members, and health, experience, and mana bars.
Sticky header
Affixes the header to the top of the screen. Unchecked means that it scrolls out of view.
Open new tasks in edit mode
When creating new tasks, the edit screen is displayed as soon as the task has been created.
Tag list in tasks starts collapsed
Tags in edit mode are hidden until the player clicks to show them.
Advanced Options in tasks start collapsed
The Advanced Options in edit mode are hidden until the player clicks to show them.
Set Dailies default to 'due' tab
Sets the Dailies column to show the "Due" tab by default (instead of the "All" tab) to show only those Dailies which are active for the current day.
Show Tour
This button restarts the in-game tutorial.
Show Bailey
This button summons Bailey, who appears in the toolbar. Clicking Bailey brings up the New Stuff! bulletin (pop-up window), with announcements for HabitRPG. Bailey can be hidden by clicking "Dismiss This Alert". To keep Bailey visible click the "Tell Me Later" button.
Fix Character Values
Manually change values like health, level, and gold. This can be useful if an error affected these values.
A pop-up window will open with Stats fields for health, experience, gold, mana, and Level.
For Achievements, the number of 21-Day Streaks can be changed.
Invite Friends
Let's you invite friends to join your party without inputting their User ID. Send them an email directly from the party page - even if they don't have an account yet.
More details on using this form are found on the Party page.
Show Classes Tour
Replays the tour for using the class system.
Custom Day Start
The Custom Day feature uses the 24-hour clock.
The custom day start (see Cron) is the time of day at which one day ends and the next day begins in the player's HabitRPG world; all tasks register the passage of a day. The default day start is midnight in the player's time zone, based on the time registered by the player's computer. The custom day start uses a 24 hour clock.
The start of the day can be changed to suit the player's needs. To change the day start time, enter an hour from 0 to 24. It should be noted that this is an experimental feature and some people experience problems with it. It is best to have completed all your Dailies for the current day before you change the day start time. If you change the day start to a time that is too close to the current time, then the new setting will not take affect until the next day.
Registration
This area displays the player's email address and lets the player change their password and their user name (the name they use to log in with). Click the "Submit" button to have each change activated.
Changing Email
To change your email address, send an email to admin@habitrpg.com. Include both old and new addresses and your User ID.
More than One Account
It is perfectly acceptable to have more than one account. You will need to use a different email address for each account.
Some players prefer to have additional accounts so they can see how they are progressing and to help gamify different areas. Examples include
- language studies
- exercise and personal growth tasks such as running, exercise,and cleaning
- business and productivity
Danger Zone
The Danger Zone is at the bottom of the Settings page.
Approach with caution. The settings in this area have drastic and permanent effects on your HabitRPG account. Avoid this area unless you want to perform one of these actions as they cannot be undone once performed.
Reset Account
Reset account button in Danger Zone
When you click the button, a popup window will open which says:
"WARNING! This resets many parts of your account. This is highly discouraged, but some people find it useful in the beginning after playing with the site for a short time.
Reset Account Dialog Box
You will lose all your levels, gold, and experience points.
All your tasks will be deleted permanently and you will lose all of your task's historical data.
You will lose all your equipment but you will be able to buy it all back, including all limited edition equipment or subscriber Mystery items that you already own (you will need to be in the correct class to re-buy class-specific gear).
You will keep your current class(1) and yourpets and mounts. (You will also keep any items which may have been bought with gems such as eggs, hatching potions, quest scrolls, food, special potions, avatar customizations, backgrounds, and gems. You keep any achievements you have earned.)
You might prefer to use an Orb of Rebirth instead, which is a much safer option and which will preserve your tasks."
Important: You MUST read that description carefully in case the actions have been changed since this wiki page was last updated! (A less dangerous, gem-purchasable alternative to reset is the Orb of Rebirth.)
(1)When you reset your account, your Stats and Achievements page shows the class you had before reset and the equipment store shows the gear for that class. When you reach level 10, you do NOT get to choose a new class. When your skills appear, they are the ones for the class you had before reset.
Delete Account
Delete Account button in Danger Zone
This button permanently deletes the player's account.
When you click this button, a popup window will open which says:
Delete Account Dialogue box
"Are you sure? This will delete your account forever, and it can never be restored! You will need to register a new account to use HabitRPG again.
Banked or spent Gems will not be refunded.
If you're absolutely certain, type DELETE into the text box below."
