On the subject of corpse retrieval: Learn how to use the /loc command especially with a hotkey macro.
To make a hotkey macro. It's in the main Actions menu under Socials, or press Ctrl-O for short. Right click any empty box and give it a Social name Loc. Then in the first line type in /loc then click Accept. Click and hold this button and drag it to your hotkey action bar.
Now press it anytime you're in a fight, especially if you think you're going to die. Do it before you die, or else the UI disappears when you actually die.
How the loc command works: From
http://wiki.project1999.com/Commands#.2Floc
To get your coordinate location in your current zone, type "/loc" or simply "/l". The resulting set of numbers is in the form of (y, x, z).
- y: North (positive) and South (negative)
- x: West (positive) and East (negative)
- z: Up (positive) and Down (negative)
Note: The z coordinate often won't be needed, and is therefore not used in many cases.
Example: If you are at (200, 500) and you need to get to (-1300, 400), you must travel South and slightly to the East.
Another tip - put at least 1 point into Sense Heading at your trainer, make a hotkey for it, and press it lots to get it to 200!
