The Begging skill

[Whirled]

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?

I never heard of any actual use for it other than rp/entertainment

It does generate a portion of hate, does it not?

You can aggro mobs with it.

[Ezalor]

you can get like 1 copper from a guard in freeport on a successful use. or get a hard resist and he will attack/kill you.

you can try to use it on a mob for +hate but you have to turn off auto-attack before using it for a miniscule payoff.

I have it with a hotkey. When I start an attack, it's the first thing I do before auto attack. So for every mob I attack, at least one beg chance is used for skill increase.

It only generates hate (and will give you a text msg from the mob when it does) on a crit failure.

Can't remember it ever working to get a coin yet though.

If you luck out you can get 1gp/1pp. I remember bored Mages/Necros skilling up on pets while medding up, and some warriors using it for aggro... but really, its just one of those quirky, "Hey wouldn't it be cool if you could do X" things in EQ that they put in but never really added to the game.

[bktroost]

You can also generate minuscule hate on a non-kos mob to kite it with the intention of having another class (rogue, ranger, monk, non hate casting classes) to throw something at it and steal aggro. (this is of course assuming they don't have a Bracer of the Hidden and the mob is not worth using a Soulfire).

[Brut]

You can use it to make canoes question your audacity to beg from them.
Think it goes through Z axis also, aggroed sebilite guardian from below with it at the locked door once.
