    @Slayan, I'll try and help. Prior to Release R39 the game had one Combat and Consumables Bar. Using the "Z" key would change the center icon from a Sword to a Shovel and vice versa. You may have been reading websites and Videos that were done prior to R39. Things are so rapidly changing in the game as Player input is one of the key parts of this game.

    As of Release R40, we now have two individual Bars. A Combat Hotbar with 10 larger size Glyph spots and a Utility (Consumables) Hotbar with 10 smaller size Glyph spots. Using "Z" no longer switches the center icon from a sword to a shovel but remains constant depending on the Bar. You can however mouse over this icon and use the left mouse button to locate either of the two Bars where you wish to put them on the screen.

    You also have options as to when and which Hotbars you want to see on your screen. To set these options, find the "GEARS" Icon in the far upper right corner of your screen and click on it once. This will open your Options Window. On the Far Left Select the Game Option. This will bring up a list of Option you can select for your desired game experience. Scroll down this list and the last three check boxes deal with the Combat Hotbar and Utility (Consumables) Hotbar. I personally have all three boxes checked, however you may wish to experiment with them to meet your individual needs.

    Hope this helps

    If you talk to a trainer and say utility bar they unlock the utility hotbar.

    Same thing with free attack.
