Dragging 2 corpses:

I must not be the only now that does this but i have yet to see it done. and after asking a few rogues over the years, none that I've talked to knew the way this was done. when i ask someone if they know how to drag 2 corpses at once they will either say yes or no. if they say yes i ask how and they tell me about names in hot buttons yadda yadda. Incorrect. here is the hassle free way to do it without having to type any names in hot buttons, also you can drag 2 of the same named corpses no problem.

Go to your options. Keys tab. select category -target. Toggle last two targets needs to be set to the key of your liking(preferably near your /corpse key) I have mine set to O.
Now I have my /corpse button set to the 0 key.
Your set up.

when you are ready to drag-
select first corpse.
select second corpse.
now you will spam your /corpse key and your Toggle last two targets key.

Which for my setup is.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o 0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0d0u0m0b0o0o0o0o00o0 o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0 o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

Cool tip, thank you.

Get 2 corpse macros,

/target Swish
/corpse

/target Otherdeadguy
/corpse

...should lock on to their corpses, same thing, different method [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I can't emphasise tab targetting enough for enchanters. Rather than trying to click on that 2nd/3rd mob that's lurking behind the troll SK which you can't see, scroll through the mobs with tab and mez them from there (the ones on 100% typically unless the tank has a DS on him).

Everyone that isn't the tank should have an "/assist Derp" type macro set up. I know it's basics but you'd be amazed at low levels how this is an unknown concept. Can really help the cleric/enchanter's mana pool and keep things efficient when there's an overpull or adds.

If you're running around with 8pp, 267gp, 580sp and 1200cp and can't get to a bank anytime soon...chances are you'd like to turn that into 35pp or so in plat coins. Find a vendor that's selling more than 1 of a certain item - gems are perfect if you see any that are buyable for 1-4pp or so but it works for research words too (anything light!). Buy a few, sell them back, buy them again, sell them back. Vendors take your copper and silver first, so you're relieving all the coin weight. If you're inclined you could just buy them gems and hold them til you get to your bank later (maybe your town gives better prices to sell them).

If you want some free buffs, the EC tunnel is an amazing place at busy periods to get some. Some people can be funny about giving them out, you'll see the odd druid demanding payment to click his sow spell...but generally people will give you clarity/haste/sow/HP etc. Don't be afraid to ask [You must be logged in to view images.

Throw a /pause 1 in there after the first set, since its trying to do two things at the exact same time sometimes one of the commands gets left out, and leaving a corpse behind.

not the same thing. try dragging 2 of your own corpses like that. and the glory of my setup is that you don't have to open ur buttons make a new name for every dill your trying to drag. just click corpse and spam.

this ^^

i played for 10 years before i realized this was possible

to add to what swish said, though, i don't think there is a default key for cycling through nearest NPCs. you gotta go into the keyboard options and set it to the key of your choice before using it.

btw this key follows line of sight rules, you can only cycle through NPCs that the game thinks you can see.

If you need to run away from a mob chasing you try strafe running. ie run forward and sidestep at the same time. You will run a little faster this way and escape most mobs.

Not sure if its already been posted but when training sense heading, bind the sense heading key to one of your movement keys. It will train itself.

For newbies, if ever you are about to die out in the middle of nowhere, have a /loc key hotkeyed and press it. Some zones can be very troublesome for finding corpses... faydark(s), west karana etc.

[Danth]

If you don't want to train sense heading, just buy a compass. It can be hotkeyed and never fails.

You can use most bankers through walls as noted above. This is a particularly useful trick to use in The Overthere.

Melee, if you aggro GrimFeather and she cons blue strafe run her to the guards (if they're up) at the tower overlooking the gypsy camp. GL getting there if you're not sowed as well. Both tower guards will eventually die, no question, but not before bringing Grim down to 35-40% health on average. After a few whacks she'll be fleeing. Get revenge, a little xp boost and rune of ivy.

You're more likely to be dragging 2 of other people's corpses, but point taken [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
