Shattered Kingdoms

[] If you play a sorceror and are going to charm a NPC always go wimpy 100 and go front row that way if you fail you flee away and don't risk killing your pet.

[] Know and remember each racial weakness for people you pvp against. They are more powerful and give you more of an edge than you might think.

[] auto compact, nospam, and triggers that highlight selected words are crucial for catching important events in PVP.

[] If you play a healer your first priority should always be to heal in PVP or PVE situations. Let fighters do their job, you do yours.

[] Everyone should use to info catcher, especially healers.

[] If you're pvping against a rogue, always keep a pet or NPC behind you.

[] deafen yourself against swashbucklers to make their taunt skill useless

[] When taking hits(in PVE) always use mood defensive

[] Heal vials are necessary for PVP

[] Always leave yourself a way out. (pvp)

[] Get access to as many buffs as possible. (tribunals, pills, potions, herbs)

[] Maxxing a natural stat (dex,con,wis,) will you give you more reflex, fortitude, and willpower than enchants will of the same amount. ex: 4 wisdom is greater than 4 willpower.

[] Keep a notepad of useful IC information. Sometimes it comes in handy when you need to access an area or quest and you can't remember how to.

[] www.jeanv.dk is a very useful website.

[] Only go into PVP on your terms unless your roleplay requires you to suicide. People will come into your territory with larger numbers and then trash you when you don't come 3v1 them, just type "quiet" and ignore them. If you're a ranged character then do all you can to stop them, but to roll into a room outnumbered is suicide on this game.

[] If you play a female character you will be solicited for mudsex. Do not play female characters.

[] Do not play tired, or try to do something risky when you have to log off soon. You will die, and then you will have to leave.

[] Certain race/combos are superior in every way to others. Unless you are a complete RP [REDACTED], recognize them, and abuse them.

[] The element of surprise is the greatest tool in PVP.

[] The most useful items in the game are constantly horded, so accept that you need to PK for them, or else you will be waiting for a monthly reboot or someone to delete.

though if you are playing a healer and use mushclient, just get my grepinfo add-on. It's like healbot for sk.

Spell nephew like Sahkul does!

You can cast enchant 3 times between ticks and still get back to sleep.

You can cast recharge twice between ticks and still get back to sleep.

If you get blinded and have a pet. You can still order it to do things with o all. Can get tricky with multiple pets/charms.

Having a weapon that can reach your opponent will keep sanctuary/intimidate from blocking your spells!

Blind? Drop the target and just type the spell and it will auto-target for you!

If your invisible, your pet PROBABLY won't be able to rescue you as it cannot SEE you. Remedy this quickly or run away.. quickly.

Errant rescues push you to the rear of the formation? Leave the group and flank the enemy!

Find scripted items, then torture, bribe, or otherwise convince bards to surrender their secrets to you! This tip meant to be used liberally.

Dirt kicking, far sweeter than it sounds.

Just because YOU know everything about everything, this does NOT mean your 18 year old character does. (adjust age according to race.)

Healing/Recall potions are like condoms. Keep some around, you never know what you might get into.

When in doubt, try asking IC first. It's often much more entertaining to learn this way. Just don't be a jerk about it and expect a pleasant response.

Should be noted this does not work for healing spells other than healing rays, as well you need to be in combat with the enemy directly ie, front row or second with a reaching weapon (usually pole mace).

also, NEVER use healing rays or mass heal on a necromancer with any animated or controlled creatures... (sorry about that again, you-know-who). It's an easy way to get an ally killed. (or yourself)

Don't post pro tips in the "Pro tips" thread if you're not a pro.

FTW

Haha. I was too nice to say this, but I'm glad somebody did.

hey, I didn't offer ANY in-game advice... I know where I stand... but I'm serious about not drinking and SKing. Not that I've done it in the past 10 months or so, but I now know never to do it again.

SK can't get you preggers. Do whatever you want.

RUSTY DAGGERS FOR EVERYONE.
