The "Things I wish I had known sooner" thread…

When you get a larger bag you can drag it over the smaller bag and it will replace it and move all the items from the small bag into the larger bag. Under SettinggtInterface are NUMEROUS checkboxs that can totally change how the game plays for you including things like targeting my target and showing actualy health numbers in bars etc You cannot chain cast via a single macro however you can put multiple abilities in a macro and hit the same key and it will cast whichever one it can first. Ie put reactives then timed melee then melee then timed range then range and just press the single button. Works great for making sure you dont miss the reactive popup however in PvP it can make you a little worse because you arent always casting the exactly right ability. Runes (from runebreaking) make a HUGE difference in character ability. Do more rifts planar shards matter. Purple and Blue planar shards are only good in the zone you earned them but planite is good in all areas If you hit Escape to get to the main menu there is an quotImportquot button. It will import all settings (keybinds graphics ooptions layout etc) from another character that you have already set up to the one you are on This link: Slash Commands Shows the useful /commands including such things as how to save and load equipment when you change roles. This link: ACT Shows how to set up Advanced Combat Tracker for Rift (lets you fine tune your damage per second by trying different things and seeing the results) In the Raid window peoples names are colorcoded by their role. 8226Red tank8226Purple support (typically Bard)8226Blue Healer8226Yellow Ranged DPS8226Brown Melee DPS When you complete some major quests a diamond appears top center of your screen click it to claim your loot for that event.In settings you can make it so you can queue spells / abilities up (default is short queue can change to long queue or no queue)Turning VSync off can DRASTICALLY improve your Frames per secondUnder Settings there is a greyed out Global UI size. This will scale the bags and Character box which you can not do manually under Edit LayoutIf you collect an artifact and when you go to add it the artifact window is just a blank screen close it press C click on Artifact and your option to add it will reappearThe Planar Lure that you get from an early quest will allow you to convert Tears to Rifts. You will get an additional point bonus for doing this which will boost you up the leaderboardUnder Settings there is an Auto PVP Flag option turning this off will not put you into PVP mode if you accidentally hit an enemy stone When you have to use an item for a quest no need to search it in ur inventory. Just press the icon apearing in your quest list on screen. Press CtrlF (default) to search your bags When keybinding hover the mouse pointer over the action bar slot you want to bind a key to and press the key you want to bind to it /twitter lttextgt and /twitterpic lttextgt to make twitter updates while playing To search on H for an item if you have one copy of it in your Bag just Right click on this item and AH will autosearch the AH. Many NPCs offer daily quests for crafting winning Warfronts or simple quests. Doing them nets you nice rewards experience and faction coin for buying special items If you have a soul with no training points spent in it you can swap it out for another soul without going to any trainer. Please note you must have at least 4 souls for this to work. At level 13 you can get quests (one at a time) for the other 5 souls you have not already gained. To get it just go close a rift and then use the item in your bag then turn in the quest. This lets you have 8 souls to choose between. You can have uip to 4 roles (each one costs more) so you can have 4 different setups. Also you can make a macro that changes your role and all your equiipment (if neede ie tank to dps spec) When you visit a vendor there is a small icon at the bottom center of his trade window. The icon looks like a stack of coins on a small circular button. This will sell all sellables (gray items) in your bags. While in game type /exportui ltfilenamegt and hit enter this saves a file in the rift folder for your ui setupThen type /exportkeybindings ltfilenamegt and hit enter this saves a file in the rift folder for your keybindingsNow when you go to another shard etc. you can type /importui ltfilenamegt then /importkeybindings ltfilenamegt. Here is another tip. Save different UI setups for melee spellcasters petusers etc.Examples /exportui melee/exportui spells/exportui pet Auction EVERYTHING you dont need that is runebreakable. Runebreakers will buy inexpensive greens off the AH allowing them to advance skill and you to make more than the vendor will pay. In the settings menu there is an option to quotCast on Target of Targetquot This is excellent as a healer spec. Keep your target as your tank and you can continue to cast damaging spells at what your target is targeting and still throw heals on your target all without losing your tank target. CONTROLLEFT CLICK on a piece of gear (weapon armor) and a preview pane will pop up so that you can view the item on your character. (also can zoom in and rotate said character) Explore more. There are a lot of hidden places that have rewards in the too. One for example is the highest mountain peak in Silverwood had a blue item for me and an achievement for reaching it.
Great post
first one made my day……didnt knew ty
If you hit Escape to get to the main menu there is an quotImportquot button. It will import all settings (keybinds graphics ooptions layout etc) from another character that you have already set up to the one you are on
Second one

You can also quot/exportuiquot and quot/exportkeybindingsquot (and /import…) to copy across shards or from beta. If you played in beta.
Blue and purple tokens from rifts are really only useable in the zone that you get them in I didnt know that….. I was going to hoard mine for higher level stuff.
My contribution:In the Raid window peoples names are colorcoded by their role. Red tankPurple support (typically Bard)Blue HealerYellow Ranged DPSBrown Melee DPSIn Black Garden Warfront:Keeping the Fang closer to its spawn points yields a faster rate of point accumulation. So if your team is dominating have your Fang carrier stay near the Fang spawn location.You should assign a healer to spam heals on the Fang carrier.Tanks make the best Fang carriers especially if they have a pocket healer.When a player has the Fang a bar will appear below the blue/red score UI. This bar shows the name of the player with the Fang their faction (Guardian or Defiant) and their health. You can click on the bar and it will automatically target the Fang carrier.In The Codex Warfront:The Codex flag gives more points per tick so it is a high value target.If your team has captured the Codex but the other team has the other 3 flags you will lose. You need the Codex plus one other flag to win (or more flags).RiftsWhen you participate in a Rift you will see the little circular Rift UI icon appear (right side of your screen just below your minimap). This UI item tells you what phase the Rift is on has a few buttons you can interact with (bag icon you can click on to take items you have gained from participating in the Rift etc.) and had a vertical bar on the left side of the UI. As you participate in the Rift you will see a slider move up/down on the participation bar and the bar will change color. The color represents your participation level in the Rift event. The higher your bar is filled (gold color is top) the more participation you have accumulated and the more/better rewards you will obtain once the Rift event is over. Participation is factored by the number of actions you have done during the Rift event. Each button press represents an action. Spam instants and you will gain loads of participation. Use channeled spells or overtime spells and you wont accumulate much participation (and will probably only walk away with a few paltry planarite).Bags:You can buy 8slot bags from the General Vendor NPC for 32 gold. Conversely 6slot player made bags sell for the same or more on the AH since the games economy is still new. Buyer beware on the AH.
I wish everyone knew that you can complete quest goals in a raid group. I know it I just wish everyone else did )

Then realized there was an import option to just copy everything. Made it so much easier.
