Little things you never noticed (that suddenly appeared to you).

I pretty much stumbled upon the Y hot key the same way you did, it's for Minion Master's, makes putting enchantments on them a lot easier and watching their life bars so you are not spamming Blood of the Master unnecessarily. I was so happy when I stumbled upon it

I've noticed this, but when I look carefully the drop actually says "Corpse of whatever you killed"

It was added in the March 3, 2011 update. It works for spirits too, which is what I use it for mostly.

Whenever there's an update in the game I always read the update notes on the wiki. There's a link at the very top left of the main page of the official wiki, or there's a recent update link in the menu of links on the left under the logo of the original wiki.

I think those are two different things as I recall seeing both. Oddly I've been seeing "the corpse of" stuff a lot more the last few months.

I didn't know it worked for spirits too!
I'd taken a year break and didn't want to read through all the updates

I can't /signed this enough!

(I actually thought of mentioning that earlier but figured it might ~derail this thread ... which would be unnecessary and unfortunate since I think the live thread where Snog gathered ideas for that sticky guide is still active and far more appropriate for such a discussion.

But +1 internet point to you mentioning it here in case it helps those reading discover how much of a difference that can make in the income from your merchfood ... to me, that's FAR from a little thing once you start paying attention to it.)

Thank you! So it's not that new a thing after all? I haven't raised my own minions for years, but what a great addition to make that easier! One of the reasons I never got into being a proper MM was my terrible success rate at putting Death Nova on the right one. (I wound up casting it on myself at least half the time I tried.)

EDIT - ninja'd but thanks for the link Blade!!!


I am enjoying this thread so much!

You can actually identify most unique drops, and dye your backpack, pouch and bags.
It doesn't change anything other than the icon, though.

Mind blown. I've had the same characters for so long... I forgot equipment templates even existed!

My days of awkwardly mistyping names at storage are over!

if anyone actually looks at the loading screen im probably wrong but i swear almost every time i take a good look into one of the corners i see a little detail that i think has just been added in im prob going crazy but hey lemme know if you are too

Nope, I have seen the "Corpse of" many times. I have seen the actual drop flip out of the dead whatever and then vanish. First time I saw it was in the D'Alessio Seaboard mission during the first beta that opened up that mission. It was a purple drop and my eyes just barely registered it before it vanished. There was still enough time for me to notice that it was a staff and that it was purple but that's all I saw.

After that I have looked for them occasionally. Haven't seen one in a long time but I don't look for them that often anymore either.

Back when I was playing GW on an AMD64 + 6600GT I used to see glimpses of these "hero drops" quite easily and regularly. After reading this thread I realised that I haven't seen this at all lately.

So... Here's to starting a theory that better hardware may influence this phenomenon...
:-D

Edit: Excellent thread btw

Found these interesting

Lol, I remember doing that on a droks run. Using GiB's like chaff and flares from an figher plane with missiles after it xD

Also before they changed Otyugh's cry you could use it on the cows just outside of Shing Jea and it would make them run around madly as if they had mad cow disease.. At the time it was best thing that skill was used for

I know it's from GW2, but when I played the demo there were the cute bunnies hopping around in the norn starter area. When I lobbed a fireball at one it stood up, clutched it's chest and span around theatrically before falling over on it's back.

Edit... Hmm why do I think I spent more time mucking about than I did playing 'seriously' xD

one little funny thing is the tiny pig 'oink' ,from memery ,in the misson just out from La is the tuffest buger in game. A level 1 and if you can get him to aggro as you lead him back to the boy, he can take on and beat everyone solo in his path without anyone healing him. Allways found it funny

Something that blew my mind... Having a skill (unlocked) was more than just available for pvp characters and tome-ing... It means that every trainer in the skills campaign now sells it.... I had no idea with this until I tried arguing with someone for reverting my edit on forums, even after almost 4 years of playing the game, I had no idea about this.

Oink, the Wonder Pig, was truly game-breaking imbalance of awesome proportions, yes!

You might want to avoid sleeping too long in the same place now, as the implication inherent to mentioning Oink on a thread about "little things" may lead to your untimely demise! Nothing can hurt that pig, and he never rests.

I still prefer mini pig to mini celestial pig for the idea of having a tiny, invinci-pig at my side.

my pve mes had that as well as a lotus staff. cool ones indeed.

I never noticed how cool the Arcane Staff was until I got one in EOTN:

Then I saw it's been available since Nightfall! The pictures on Wiki really don't do it justice either. It's beautiful in-game.

I KNOW!

As a rule I always assumed collector's peddled only secand-hand trinkets! Also, it was exact item that made me aware too!

It's the pvp staff skin for fast cast attribute btw.

In Seeker's Passage about every 10 seconds or so there is lightning bolt in the north east sky where you would never think to look.

Amazing?
