• Extra bank storage
  submitted by Rilellore
  Even with the new slots and the shared bank spaces, the bank tends to fill up pretty fast. What you can do for some extra slots is to take a run to the Gnome outpost in Iceclad Ocean on Velious. One of the merchants there sells Deluxe Toolboxes for about 1pp 5gp. They have 10 slots, so 2 more than a backpack. With the original bank you now get 16 extra slots and with the expanded bank you get 32 extra slots. Or if your lazy, ;o) , you can go to the bazaar and buy trader sachels, these are also 10 slot, but are only good for bank, because they weight, 25s and cost a little more, approx 2pp each.
  
  
• Easy experience for Enchanters in FV
  submitted by Rilellore
  Near the giant Iksar statue by the path along the ridge in FV, the pilgrims and the drixies wage a constant war with the evil spider creatures of the continent. They appreciate some help though, so much so that if you mezz one of the spiders when they are almost dead, the drixies and pilgrims walk away and leave it alone, leaving you to get all of the experience by blasting it with a nuke. It can take a little while to get the timing right so that you don't mezz it with too much life or it dies just before your mezz lands, but its worth trying. Get a sow if you can though, until you manage to get it right.
  
  
• Casting

• Targets
  submitted by Lowtothe
  
  • /target will target the closest thing whose name is unique. This works on mobs too. For example. There are 2 players named Fred and Fredrick on the raid, both not in the group. Fredrick needs healing. Type /tar Fredr and as long as Fredrick is within 50 feet of you (forwards or backwards - doesn't matter) she will get selected to be your current target. If you type /tar Fred and both Fred and Fredrick is within 50 of you, your current target will not change since Fred is not a unique name
    
  • /ttell. Targeted tell. Useful for sending a tell to the owner of a corpse. Works for the living too

• The Hole
  submitted by Lowtothe
  To get into The Hole, go down to the bottom where the pond is in Paineel. When you are in the water, in the upper right portion of the rocks there is a hole you can squeeze through. Wolfform helps in doing this. Keep trying and eventually you'll make it through.
  
  
• Corpses

  • How to drag multiple corpses:
    Make a hotkey(s) with the following:
    
    /corpse
    /pause 2
    /corpse
    /pause 2
    
    etc for as many corpses as you need. You will need to move slowly, but you will be able to summon multiple corpses along as one giant pile
    
  • Targeting your corpse and typing /loot will also loot for you

• Sit aggro
  submitted by Lowtothe
  Sitting causes Agro with mobs. This can work to your advantage if the mob doesn’t summon. If you need to keep a mob off the tank for a moment, sit and as it comes towards you, stand back up. This is known as ping ponging the mob. The mob will go back and forth between you and the tank.

• NEW Tradeskilling
  submitted by Nerissa of Knights of Raging Flame
  All the clicking you need to do while skilling up can get very tedious so one thing to make life easier is to tapt the CTRL key down so that only 1 item from a stack is automatically picked up. You will need to untape when talking and dealing with merchants.
