A "Party" is a group of two to five players who can share their adventure experience with each other. Parties can help a player to progress their character and make questing easier.

Outside of quests, you can also tackle challenging group content with a party. Party leaders can queue their party up in the matchmaking tab for various Arena Challenges (Parties of 2), Lair Challenges (Parties of 5), or Dungeons (Parties of 5).
