Norrathian "Lifehacks"

Initial mob agro is capped. Eg: sham or ench pull with slow and tank can easily strip it from them since the initial agro slow won't cause much hate.

Corpse dragging ignores the Z axis. So in dungeons / sky etc as log as you are close enough in X and Y you are good.

There is a lava tube that goes under near efreeti camp in solb from near the entrance. So if you die on ledge area near efreeti you can easily drag out (ignoring the Z axis) without having to go back up the ramp.

Skipping stones are bugged so they will never leave your inventory when thrown. (Unlimited throwing ammo) - unless this was recently fixed?

Force pets to dual wield by giving them a cheap torch or other secondary vendor item. Light weight and only have to give them one to force dw.

/pet feign 2x is fun

In addition to reducing fall damage, playing (maxing I think) with your max fps slider can help you jump just a bit higher (jumping out of moats in cab etc)

Shadowstep can be used to teleport down from heights without incurring fall damage.

Even though, I thought shadow step wouldn't change your Z-axis.

[myriverse]

It allows down on the z-axis, just not up.

it was most certainly the culprit for me. You don't have to disable the UAC popup, just the dimming of the desktop. Sometimes things do still happen that cause it to go black, such as hitting ctrl+alt+delete, ever since they implemented that stupid halfway point between ctrl+alt+delete and task mgr.

ctrl + shift + esc

Is that the new shortcut to get directly to the task mgr? I just pin it to my taskbar

It's been the shortcut for a couple editions of windows.

When dragging multiple bodies, bind target last target. Target the bodies you want to drag and spam it with your corpse macro.

When dragging an entire group, set up a few macros like:

/target Burrito's
/pause 1
/corpse

/target Taco's
/pause 1
/corpse

/target Chalupas
/pause 1
/corpse

You won't be able to rapidly drag, but it will be easier on you.

all bankers can be used by anyone, regardless of faction.

get close to a KOS banker but stay out of their vision, use camera angles to get a visual on them to be able to click them.

freeport banker is a classic. there's a handy wall there to hide behind, and no roaming guards to disrupt you.

handy for those that can forage, make macro:

/autoinventory

puts whatever is on cursor in inventory, stacks it for you if you already have some of it. played classes that could forage on live from kunark to PoP and didn't know this [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I take it a little further and make it
/doability x
/pause 2
/autoinventory
in 1 macro, then I move it to the spot on the hotbar that's bound to A & D.

Instead of typing /who all name, you can do / all name. Valuable time saved imo
Edit: already mentioned!
