Footnote: If you just applied to test don't expect a response for at least 5 months.

Why not? Nothing like a good challenge. (And how did you manage to find a server where nobody butted-in?)

When delaying starting the pearl quest don't wait too long. Sinking vipers and such at level 36 just is a total waste of the better rep you could have gotten doing the quest at lower levels.

Two for today.

One, when selling things BE CAREFUL!!!! (Sold James Barbossa pants somehow right off him without noticing.)

Two, when searching for the Sword of El Patron if using Darkhart inevitably someone will come and shoot him out from under you with 2 shots of a blunderbuss and laugh at you. Or else the entire server, Darkhart, thralls, even Neban will give you nothing at all.

When making potions:

If the potion you are making needs everything of the same color, i.e., all blue or all purple, that is the color that you will get the least of during the game.

This one may not make a lot of sense, but it's true:
It takes 3 of one type to combine to the next higher level of that color, but if you can get 4 together at once, you will get 2 of the next higher level, and if you can link 5, you will get three of the next higher level. You are better off not linking 3 at a time.

Do not underustimate stump boss on Outcast! He is tougher than he looks!

When the hints say you can press R to run and chat at the same time, DON'T believe them.. You will inevitably end up running into a wall, off a bridge, into the ocean, or into some gray space you cannot explain.

When u do the kingshead glitch at abassa, u better be prepared!!! lol

When planning on reading all 15 pages of the thread, depending on your reading speed, make room for 1 1/2-3 hours of intense reading....

But I DO recommend reading it.... Good info for smaller players, and bigger players..

Good idea, Basil!

Maybe people should start reposting things exactly 1 year old? (Some are slightly different - the very first post no longer applies for several reasons/fixes/changes.)

My VIL: The NPCs know all the glitches, watch out for bosses running through walls.

I did get killed by neban when he ran through a wall and stabbed me. I was sad.
