Thread: Tuesday Tips September 30th
many times items you are asked to carry are much better that the reward item. You can keep these items if you wish. One example is a quest in mos Taike where you are asked to kill an NPC and returne with his AT-ST pilot helmet. If you return to the npc he takes the helmet and gived you a Kaadu cream pie
If you decide, like me that you'd rather keep the helmet (non-wearable item by the way) you can either stop the quest at the point you get it and leave the quest unfinished ...
or...
find another quest NPC nearby and tell him you'd rather work for him. This cancels the quest and you can return and pick it up again. Getting another helm and repeating until you decide youlike that Kaadu cream pie.
You can view some important system information by useing ctrl+shift+g. This will tell you your frame rate among other things.
If you want to be popular and have people talk to you, pick a name that is easily typed correctly. A name like IilliIlilIl or quxylmbwuwhopmbxylwyvxzcmv'nrew is not going to get very many /tells!
Then again if you want to be left alone...
I tried 3 NPC missions. None of them worked.
Mission 1) When I reached the destination nothing was there
Mission 2) The target I was supposed to kill didnt drop what she was supposed to. Another NPC did, but I was not able to give this to the person who gave me the mission.
Mission 3) I reached the destination and was supposed to free some nightsisters. I arrive there it tells me to go back to the person who gave me the mission. I got back and the person offers to give me the mission again.
All of these missions were in dathomir.
I haven't tried this but apparently you can place some couch types overlapped, or place chairs "in" couches, to create the illusion of multiple people sitting on one couch :-)

Always take two missions headed in the same direction, you get more bang for your time spent.
npc's with names but no class given and without a quest-symbol over their head that you can talk to often have multiple static quests available. there has been a massively significant amount of these quests that are completable as compared to a month ago. (yea! i get to say somehting nice! hehe)
Talk to NPCs especially the ones near the exits to towns. They sometimes give descriptions of and waypoints to interesting locations
FUNNY!
I stopped doing this, after I did like 4 of them and all of them were broken. Repair your stuff, before you point us at it.
Same with missions, half of them simplydo not appear...
You can mouse-over a creature or NPCs HAM bar and see the number of Health, Action and Mind points they have and their maximum.
A quick way to find the direction to the nearest town when you are out exploring is to type /find hotel. This will set a waypoint to the nearest hotel. (bank, medic etc.. would also work)
Here's a trick Lexica taught me. If you go into options (control - o) and then to the "Interface" option, the HUD windowopacity can be adjusted so that you can see through the windows to see the aggros on your overhead map. This is very helpful for if you want to survey while running....or craft while running....or look at your skill trees....read/type email...etc...etc...etc....
(Thanks Lexica!)

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before.
If you create a custom chat room, you can right click on your 'Spatial' tab, and choose "Modify Tab", and then add your custom chat room to the spatial (move it from the left box to the right box). This way, you'll see your custom chat in your spatial room, and not have to switch between chat boxes.
Also, you can /chatroom <msg> to talk in your chat room. For example, I always create a custom room called "gg", for me and my friends to chat in no matter where we're at. I add this room to my spatial (so I can see all the chatting in there in my normal default spatial window), and anytime I want to talk into it, i just type /gg <msg> .
here's a tip
when dropping items in your hour if you stack the same item type ontop of each other you can no lother select and pick them up, or anything from the radial menu.
use the manual movement commands "/move <forward>/<back> #" to seperate them and you can then pick them back up.
