Get 2 corpse macros,

/target Swish
/corpse

/target Otherdeadguy
/corpse

...should lock on to their corpses, same thing, different method [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I can't emphasise tab targetting enough for enchanters. Rather than trying to click on that 2nd/3rd mob that's lurking behind the troll SK which you can't see, scroll through the mobs with tab and mez them from there (the ones on 100% typically unless the tank has a DS on him).

Everyone that isn't the tank should have an "/assist Derp" type macro set up. I know it's basics but you'd be amazed at low levels how this is an unknown concept. Can really help the cleric/enchanter's mana pool and keep things efficient when there's an overpull or adds.

If you're running around with 8pp, 267gp, 580sp and 1200cp and can't get to a bank anytime soon...chances are you'd like to turn that into 35pp or so in plat coins. Find a vendor that's selling more than 1 of a certain item - gems are perfect if you see any that are buyable for 1-4pp or so but it works for research words too (anything light!). Buy a few, sell them back, buy them again, sell them back. Vendors take your copper and silver first, so you're relieving all the coin weight. If you're inclined you could just buy them gems and hold them til you get to your bank later (maybe your town gives better prices to sell them).

If you want some free buffs, the EC tunnel is an amazing place at busy periods to get some. Some people can be funny about giving them out, you'll see the odd druid demanding payment to click his sow spell...but generally people will give you clarity/haste/sow/HP etc. Don't be afraid to ask [You must be logged in to view images.
