ok so this is a vista ( a spot that is a short cut scene of the area you are in):
you can either convert your gems into gold or convert your gold into gems (gems is the cash shop currency) :
there are alot of dyes to unlock:
you can view your story as you progress:
can store your crafting materials into the acount material storage: dont have to withdraw to craft either
you can view the amount of POI (points of interests), vistas, quests, etc from the map window that is left to complete: poi = square box, vistas are the duble triangle(pyramids), challenges are the yellow arrows with person inside, the way points are the diamonds (once you unlock a way point you can travel to it for a small fee depending on distance)
