Obscure things you may not know about playing the game

My quick route to the Midnighter's Club/Cimerora blueside, if I am not on a team:

1. Get to base (either base teleporter or entrance).
2. Go to Ouro crystal, take the Percy Winkley mission (Origins of Power)
3. Use Ouro crystal to teleport to contact.
4. Quit mission/task force.

Another thing about Ourobouros that I didn't know until comparitively recently. If you touch the ring (ooooer) around the big crystal in the main ourobouros building, whilst on a flashback you'll get tp'd to your contact. Saves a lot of running around in the early stages of a flashback when you are unable to call your contact.

It is possible to move while resting.

Rest puts your character into a high-mag immobilize. Pop about 10 BF's while resting and you'll be able to move around until they expire.

Paragon Dance Party was the predecessor to Pocket D, and while it is no longer accessible by players, you can still see the original entrances in Steel Canyon, Talos Island and Independence Port.

Taunt auras like Invincibility, Against all Odds and Rise to the Challenge will interrupt the interruptible powers of enemies, like the self-destruct of Embalmed Cadavers.

It's possible to resurrect players with Howling Twilight by using Oil Slick as a target. At least I think it still is, unless the devs changed that a while back.

Good stuff but a small correction to the Master STF. You can also use the purchasable Jet Pack in Master runs, as it doesn't grey out. Perhaps not the most useful temp for that task, but there we are.

There used to be a "bug" in Arena where you could queue up Warburg nukes during the countdown to buff the group, heh.

There is still an underground Dev office in the Fab. To get there, you'll need to take the kinda sloping entrance into the Fab (Where the Arachnos Fliers are for various missions) and meander through the passages. At some point you'll see small sections like this:


=====] [
#
#
#

Heh. Anyway, the "=" signs look like lockers and they have a little gap in there a character can slip through. Just squeeze through them until you find the dilapidated office, replete with desks, whiteboard, disused computers and an iron maiden (Oh there are some high level Arachnoids there too, careful!)

- You can cage the Arachnos Flier in STF, towers too IIRC.

- Lost Savior was once available to villains! You needed a hero with the "Craft Lost Wand" mission queued, head to Rikti War Zone, invite a villain friend and craft the wand. Then, autocomplete the Defeat 20 Lost mission and both of you would get the badge.

- The Hive was replete with map holes in the day. Some creative individuals went under the map and used Snow Storm to drag GMs into the bowl at opportune moments.

- The face of Ruladak is etched into various stone structures in the Shard.

- Rularuu mobs are great sources of arcane salvage and occasional purples, if you're up for the trip there.

- St. Elegius Hospital in Dark Astoria is a nod to a hugely popular television show, but oddly enough no children in Dark Astoria will speak of it.

- If you get 1,000 temporal points in Recluse's Victory before the zone shifts, you get a hefty Longbow or Arachnos Mech, one use temp.

- Used to be a bug during Hami raids that an exemplared character would produce a higher level Hami. You could replicate this villainside (prior to Hami raids) by clicking your reward menu in Warburg to produce 52 Hamis.

- The Cavern Trial in the Hollows can be completed in under 15 minutes and rewards with a Pool B drop. So, habitually, does David Wincott's arc in Hollows.

- Even if you have no arc slots open, you can still get Viridian's arc in Ouroboros if you have all the necesary badges. Fun one too.

- You can unlock Rularuu weapons:
Heroside: Complete a shard Task Force or destroy 100 Overseers
Villainside: Complete Naylor's "Bravo for the Shadow Shard" (?) arc (or is it "Last Stand at Mole Point Bravo") or get Efficiency Expert Pither's mission to rescure Olivia Darque, set it to +6 or so and spawn Overseers the 'hard' way.

- Completing Ernesto Hess TF unlocks the "em dice7" emote.

- Getting the Outlaw badge redside unlocks the em ListenStolenPoliceBand, which brings up the hero police scanner.

-There is a "secret" face and throne in the Shadow Shard. If you find it, you're awesome.

-The Storm Palace is an awesome place for a team to go farming. It is one big circle filled with high level enemies that all drop magic salvage and all have a chance to drop purples. There is also only one exit and entry point so you can't accidentally fall out easily.

-Learning to use the jump points spread throughout the level is actually FASTER than using most other travel means, once you learn how to navigate them properly. Vidiotmaps is great for this.
