Linking FATEs in /yell or /shout or another channel

[Rhoderick]

How do you link FATEs or other events like quests and special mobs on chat channels so you can ask for help? I've seen other people do it but I'm yet to figure out how to

You can't exactly link a FATE by name, but you can link a target-able monster and it's map position in a zone to chat.
If the FATE has a target-able monster, like the NM World FATES, then just target that monster to link. Otherwise type the FATEs name, in short form if it's a long name.
To link:

• Target, type <t>
• Position, your current position, type <pos>
• To shout or yell, type /sh or /y

NOTE: The <pos> command will create a clickable "link" in the chat which will let a player click and open the map to the zone and place a map pin at the <pos> automatically. Also, all of the chat commands use lower case for the letters. Also, if you receive a <pos> message in chat, and then wish to relay the message to others, then click the <pos> to drop a map pin on your map, then use the command <flag> to send that map pin out in your chat message.

So, if you were to come across an A-Rank The Hunt mark, and wanted to let the players in the zone know about it, then target it, get close enough to it to not aggro it, and type:

• /sh A-Rank <t>, is at <pos>, please come help kill

Use /y only for a message to go out in the general area you are at, which has a bit further range than /say and shows up in a bolder color text. Typically you would only use /y if you were say announcing a "pull time" for the target monster or such to just the players around in the general area, otherwise use /sh so everyone in the zone can see the message.
If you are a member of a Free Company, you can let you FC mates know via /fc
If you are in other Link Shells, then refer to your Link Shell list for the channel number of each, then you can type /l1 for the first, /l2 for the second, /l3 for the third and so on
