The Begging skill

[Whirled]

Dragon magazine iirc

You could use begging to single pull efreeti lord djarn out of his room in combination with the sneak skill.

There was one quest that I know of that used it. It was in GoD I believe. You did some run around quests in every zone and got this one drop from the boss of every zone and it was very skill intensive and at the end you got either a good augmentation item or a good range slot.

When I left in the game this was the longest quest ever in the game.

This was the augmentation gem I got as rewards:

Skillups only come from human targets on P99 iirc. Ironically you can skillup on beggars if you wanted to [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Half my skill ups have been in the Sarnak Fort on the mobs there. There may be a limitation, or maybe you just meant humanoid type mobs (no animals, insects, so on...)???

I've gotten plenty of skill-ups on non-humanoid mobs, like rats and beetles. You can't skill up on something that you've aggroed though, has to be before you pull it.

Yeah I always had it as stuff that speaks, says "Stop thief!" etc when PP'ed, rather than moss snakes and player pets.

Used most effectively to convince wife to come back after she leaves your ass for obsessively playing a 15 year old video game.

ok, this game was made with a Begging button & I dont think I've ever used it...ever.

Am I missing some cool or fun quest where u must use this skill?
I mean to go through all the process of making this button/skill into the game as default.. I would think it had some purpose.

Anyone care to share the knowledge?

Good way to die to a Guard since the nerf. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

IIRC, CHA affects how much $$$ you get. That might be a myth though.
