If you imbue riftable items.. for gods sake don't rift them again. Yes, I wasted more esteem this way than you could possibly know.

Powerlog summary - If I had known about you, I wouldn't of spent countless hours counting out power. I could of kissed the person who told me it existed.

TELLS and SHOWTELL # to "remember" what you were telepathically told. Would have saved me a lot of grief earlier.

Along those lines, TELLS FULL and MSGS FULL.

omg. You made me delete all my messages!:crying:
Shulamit2011-04-07 11:33:25
I know. Luckily, I had my messages up, and copy pasted them into a word so I can find my old ones later. I'm sorry if I like having my old messages telling me how to use Euterpe. Meer sad.gif

I like how LOOK IN PACK is more brief than PROBE PACK because it doesn't show you the pack description.

What does this do? Clear all messages? (not willing to try it myself to see in case that is what it does)

Finally one I didn't know!

Maybe this'll help people - QI shows the inventory sans clothing.

What's the point of 'helpsearch'?

HELP *string* does the exact same thing whenever I am in need of looking through help files.

Ah, I see. If HELP *thing* finds an exact match it brings that up, whereas helpsearch always shows help files that contain said string.

INR ALL HERB works too. No need for an arbitrary number!


Wait, really?

What is this witchcraft?

(It won't work for you, you often have a full rift of specific herbs; at least you used to frequently!)

When it says your rift is full, you then have to check your inventory, find the first herb in the list, clear it out, and then try the next one. It gets pretty annoying!

You can cleave denizens.

The Serenwilde shops are up in the trees via entrances you can't see, or an elevator that is also behind an entrance you can't see. Climbing up is not involved.

How bards/pilgrims/scholars worked.

I pretty much make the point to tell this to every novice that asks where to hunt.
