An unorganized list of long-standing unknowns with the client.

* Magitek Terminals
{| class="wikitable"
|-
| Description
| In instanced dungeons, these have a circular aura effect around them to signal where players need to stand for a period of time to activate it.
|-
| Problem
| Figuring out the trigger for this effect is unknown.
|-
| Notes
| BgObj model b936. Textures for the effect appear packed along with each variation of the model. Calling LIB animations does nothing for it other than the 'pulse' effect in the 3-9 range.
|}

* Linkshell/Company strings
{| class="wikitable"
|-
| Description
| GameMessages involving the name of a Linkshell or Company (eg. Sending an Invite to one, equipping one) displays a "." in text
|-
| Problem
| WorldMaster strings like 25131, 25150, and 25151 exhibit the issue. In the sheets they're called under [@STRING($EA(2))] or [@STRING($EB(49))].
|-
| Notes
| $EA operator - We do not know what its function is or how to set values in the client for it to use. <br /> $EB operator - calling values that far (eg. 15+) is unknown how to set since it's out of the luaParam range for SendGameMessage
|}

* Nameplate hidden when player is unable to move
{| class="wikitable"
|-
| Description
| During zone transitions into quest-related triggers, the namebar of the player is hidden and they're unable to move.
|-
| Problem
| This isn't replicated at present.
|-
| Notes
| Need to research for accuracy reasons.
