Didn't we have this tipnot to long ago? Or maybe it was a post in the Entertainer forums...I can't remember, but I know I've see this post before. Oh well it's good for everyone else.
My tip is this :
Any time your going to Lord Nyax "house", always bring 2-3 Master Rifleman/Swordman with uber weapons so you can out damage theoften campedAFKers who make Billions of Credits doing absolutely nothing but going to work or taking a break for 3:45h. Oh wait this tip goes for just about any POI that is known to drop good Loot.
/sigh

Wohaa! Old reruns... just like TV. Well, good for the new players, but they mostly get their tips from the veterans so we would prefer something new. Maybe we have run through the list of game functions now...

With all the rumors flying around about Tyrant leaving and finding out now Cal has left it look slike they are going crazy at Austin and TH probably was forced to recycle do to time restraints. If you are reading this Th it wuold be good if you guys could make a post explaining whats going on as the rumors are flying hard. Is Tyrant leaving? Is he already gone?

Each week, Q-3POstarted a thread for you to share game tips with fellow players. Tuesday Tips will continue on with that tradition so be sure to join in and add your helpful tip.
Do you have a little known command you use all the time? A cool place to visit? A trick (non-exploit) to getting more out of the game?
Share it here or if you prefer, send us an email with your tip and we'll showcase it here!
This tip comes fromPeasleblossom Fariof theStarsider Galaxy!
Programming Fireworks Displays
"Many players know how to load different fireworks into a Show Package and launch it for an impressive display. However it's a little known ability of the Entertainer profession to program these packages. Anyone with Novice Entertainer can adjust the timing and order of the fireworks, creating dramatic pauses, colorful clusters, or long steady displays. A programmed package can then be given to anyone else, and launched as normal. It's a great way to celebrate a special ingame occasion."
Thanks Peasleblossom!
Check out last week's tips

Dam good tip! Bookmarked for future reference. They should delete everything in front of your post including the current (or errr *cough the old one as the case may be) one, edit the title and name this the Tuesday Tip for March 15th.

If somebody has a really hard name to type in and you like talking to them but its a pain to type (example) /t Jon'Smith'Da'm'a'n' (messege);
Then you can set up an alias to talk to him like this...
/alias jon /t Jon'Smith'Da'm'a'n' <-----(without a semi colon after it)
Now all you will have to do is type /jon (messege)and it will /t Jon'Smith'Da'm'a'n' (messege)
Please note that if you put a semi-colon at the end of the alias it will not work! It will end the command and say you need to send a messege...

Wow, talk about Deja vu, I thought I was going nuts. Cant we have a new Tuesday tip or this week go to waste?
How about the CTRL-Up Arrow feature? Thats a pretty good tip that gets overlooked a lot.
If you get snagged in a mistell or mis-type something, you can type CTRL-Up Arrow and the chat window will display the last thing you entered. You can actually toggle through 3 or 4 previous commands/entries.

Actually th you can toggle through about 30-50 commands by using ctrl+up and down.
Its a great tip for moving items in your house
