A plains pebble left outside of a bag in your inventory reduced the amount of food/water consumed.

I was told it had to be imbued to work.

Surprised its not been mentioned yet, but:
If you harmony'd yourself and sat in water, you'd regain mana faster.

This was a big one for me, because Faydedar actually did eat me once in TD while I was going for the pot room.

Was scared out of my wits around large bodies of water after that.

Haha that almost happened to me on vztz before p99. It was far enough away to not agro thank goodness.

Level of spell cast influences resists. (As opposed to the correct, level of the caster, not the actual spell).

#1 pet peeve with enchanters who don't use Mesmerize. "It resists too much because level 4 spell". Nope. Dazzle and Mesmerize resist at the same rate.

Was told in my early days that if you turned the lights in Ak'Anon in the right order that the dragon of Ak'Anon would be spawned inside the lake.

Spent days in my early teens clicking those damn lights (they do actually rotate for some reason) trying to figure out how to do it. Was level 20, didn't care, wanted to see a dragon.

Standing on a spawn point would keep the mob from spawning.

This is a good one. I forgot people used to say this.

One that I had that is probably not very common involved Ak'Anon and the Red V quest. If you kill obsolete clockworks + Red V you can get an item to turn into a guy near the entrance of Ak'Anon that usually resulted in some patchwork armor, few gold, rusty weapons, etc.

Occasionally, you would be awarded a Bullsmasher, which was this awesome 6/20 NON-MAGIC weapon for small races.

The rumor was if you did this enough times you'd summon the King of Ak'Anon and he would award you a magic version of the Bullsmasher that was 7/20 (and better than a SSoY!).

I can't tell you how many times I did that quest. It was more than likely something that somebody made up in Steamfont on my server.
