It is useful
It goes like this.
Step 1: Non-smugler sees Smuggler doing Secret Handshake
Step 2: Non-Smuggler starts laughing hard and long. (Unless he is a Ranger or Squadleader)

For those folks out there that are having issues with the 'speed' of the new Creature Handler training interface, I give to you thefollowingthe training macro(s).


The macro is broken down into two seperate macros, due to the character limitation. The first macro is called TrainingDay1 and the second macro is called TrainingDay2. Simply cut and paste each section into a new macro, with the listed name.



All that you need to do, while this macro runs, is open up the 'Teach Pet Command' window and chose the command that you 'hear' inspatial. With the/pause set up,you will have 2 seconds to chose the commandspoken aloud. Thecommand will then repeat itself 5 times, in order to ensure that the pet learns the command.


The easiest method of opening the 'Teach Pet Command' window is to use the ~ key and the 4 key.


As soon as you chose the command for the current command being trained, you can open up a new 'Teach Pet Command' window. This will help to make sure that you are ready to chose the next command, before you 'hear' it in spatial.


All of the commands are in order, asseen in the 'Teach Pet Command' window,with the exceptions of Transfer, Ranged Attack, Group, and Store. Some people do not like training their pets with the Transfer command and the Ranged Attack command is not usable by all pets. The Group command is at the bottom of the list, becuase using it will invite your pet to your group, and will expand the radial menu, making the default 'Train' menu option switch from 4 to 5. Store is located at the end of the list for the obvious reason that if the pet learns the command on the first four tries, it will immediately be stored at the completion of the macro.


The entire process takes65 seconds to complete, from first command to last.


For those that are slower at chosing your menu selections, or have lag issues, I would recommend changing the first /pause timer on each command to 3 - 4 seconds, instead of 2, however this will increase the amount of time needed to train each pet to 80 - 90 seconds.


The /tellpet commands listed here just for demonstation. Feel free to change the /tellp command to what ever you wish.


A couple of tips for making this process move a long smoothly


  1. Open the 'Teach Pet Command' window and resize it so that you can see all of the commands, without having to scroll through the menu.
  2. Place the 'Teach Pet Command' window so that it is over the creature that you are training. This makes it easier to move your cursor to the command menu, if it centers on the pets radial menu.
  3. Chose an area to train the commands that is not being spammed with spatial chatter, so that you can 'hear' the next command clearly.
  4. Turn 'System Messages' off from your Spatial window, so that you don't spam your own window with ?s and !s.
  5. Name your pet after you have completed all its command settings. This ensures that the pet will learn its name quickly, since each command will automatically be learned, when it is re-issued.

2 or 3 weeks ago i'd say that Creature Handler should be in that same list with Ranger and Squadleader, but i'm glad to see the CH's gettin' some love.




now for a Tuesday Tip from Lowca's #1 Rodian:


If you're creating a new toon on a server, make them a Rodian. You won't be as cool as Oreet, but you'll be cooler than all those Dog-men and Fish-men. and if you don't believe me, click the link in my signature.

/sends some beer and pie TH's way

You may have given away our one and only secret, but that's part of what Smuggler's are for right? Getting items and information to people that they shouldn't

so basically, TH out-smuggled the smugglers by smuggling their secrets away from them, and brought them to the rest of the community.

Oh TH, I so hope you are making fun of us, because you know that something is coming.
If not it's just cruel and idiotic. (No Kidding, seriously)

Don't worry, you can't get kicked out of a club you were never a member of. To be a member of the Smuggler club you actually have to give a rat's heiney about the profession.

Now if we could actually smuggle something there might be a reason (and a few smugglers) to use the handshake.
