I think it would be nice to have a thread for imparting random wisdom upon people. You know, small stuff that might take you a while to discover on your own and adds to the quality of your life.
1. When you're on a ship, you can "exa view" to see where you are (in case you disconnected on the ship and want to know in which direction the ship is going when you come back for example).
2. If you want to check multiple corpses for something, you can "look in corpses" instead of examining each one separately.
3. Wimpy setting other than "Brave" is only useful in case you disconnect, otherwise it's more of a hindrance than help.
4. Most people get confused when boarding the Golden Lion. That's because usual maps depict it wrong:
Code: Select all
* *
|\ /|
*-* \ / *-*
| \/ |
*--BB--*
This is how the deck of the Golden Lion actually looks like (BB is where you board the ship). Depending on how you view it (where is the bow or "front" of the ship), it will either be this or the same thing but upside down. If you imagine the bow of the ship on the left, it will be upside down, on the right and it will look like I posted it above. With "fore" you move towards the bow and with "aft" you move towards the stern. "port" and "starboard" move you left and right respectively when facing the bow.
You can alternatively view it like that:
Code: Select all
* *
| \ / |
*-* B *-*
| / \ |
* *
The / and \ exits are one-way.
Time is precious. Waste it wisely.
