Protip thread, all classes.. "I want to get better"

play red. you will be forced to adapt and pick up on heavy handed tactics in order to defeat highly advanced opponents using anything and everything you can think of.

Hmm... Pick pockets might need a discussion...

It is good, since it lets you steal from mobs, but it is also bad because it lets you strip the money and items from a mob. If you are in a group and it is not your turn to loot, picking pockets is often a very unpopular thing to do because you are effectively stealing money and items from mobs. If you are not killing the mobs, it is unpopular because you are stealing money from the person who will later kill it and find nothing worth looting.

On the other hand, you need to work on this skill; it is required for the epic and it makes the Rogue Redemption quest much easier if you pickpocket a certain item you need rather than killing the person holding it. Luckily, you can find a 1st-level character and pick their pockets to skill up all the way to the cap, so feel free to practice on gnoll pups...

Nah, would rather get fat stacks of gems.

Pro Tip never look like a druid in the EC tunnel. Disguise yourself at all costs.

Buff requests will come fast and furiously, from all angles every second you linger there appearing like a tree hugger.

Try to carry illusions with you and other strange equipable items so that you dont quite appear as druidy as the next druid in EC.

Remember, your disguise only has to be good enough to trick the noobs into asking someone 'more druid looking' than you.

You are welcome.

I learned: Don't be halfling in tunnel.

If you're a ranger in mistmoore, learn to organize your own groups. People usually just sit on their asses LFG when pond, GY and CE is full, but with bind sight, camo, harmony, and agro/pathing knowledge, you can easily organize a group of 3-4 people to take the yard, throneroom or tower. You should very rarely be LFG in MM.

Elaborating on this, here's your evade hotkey and abilities menu.

Ability menu:

1 - Hide
2 - Disarm
3 - Pickpocket
4 - Intimidation
5 - Sense heading

Evade hotkey + extras:

/attack off
/do 1
/do 2
/do 3
/do 4
/do 5
/attack on

If I catch a monkey using this macro in an exp group in a dungeon I'll give him a painful death [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
