Yah was able to lore and get stats from it...went around luna houses and lored some after that and not all parrots are created equal lol. Peacing parrot did not keep it from talking tho =P I haven't done it enough times tho to see if can actually get a gain from doing either one.

For more useful info using control shift to bring up surrounding item names. Altho still need to use all names to see your own corpse name.
Oh one thing that took me forever figuring out was being able to repeat a my last sentence with ctrl q.
And lately the big rage is over the new bovine weapon thingie being able to cut up your kills and auto puts the hides in your pack? The skinning knives have always done this.

I just jumped on to be sure I wasn't talking out my backside hehe
Having the skinning knife in your hand will put the hides into your backpack.
Maybe that's what the big deal is the Bovine one doesn't need to be equiped?
I don't own one to check it out.

Oops I went and corrected post saying control shift, I had said control tab doh.

One thing I noticed is that if your backpack is getting fullish, it stops dropping them into the backpack for you. but then I tend to fill mine to the breaking point anyway, so it's only a smallish 'thing'. It's still really NICE to have that much done for you with the 'cutting' of the carcass.

"use all names"...... how?

Ohhhh the Cntrl Q thing.. I use that all the time.. it's so much second nature I forget it LOL....

LORE the Parrots... that's nice.. but what I STILL need to find out is why mine refuse to talk to me in anything but canned talk!! I now have 11... ranging in age from 17 weeks to one week.. not a one will speak for me! I repeat and repeat... Nada! I had parrots on the Beta Test... they ALL talked to me within two days of getting them!!

crtl q used repeatedly will scroll back through the things you've said. Very useful when sailing or pricing goods on vendors
Or even if someone says, 'sorry, I missed that'

The butcher's war cleaver carves beasts and returns cut leather (not hides) into you back pack without being equiped. But only up to a point. Not sure what the cut-off weight is, but after that it leaves the cut leather in the corpse.

"all names" is in your macro options is nice when your bod is buried under a pile of corpses and get it looted fast. Hit your all names hotkey and double click your name.

Your parrots will speak to you when you feed them only? But won't repeat stuff for you?

Ooh! didn't know it would scroll back farther then last sentence!! Thank you for that info!!

Yah Yah cut leather! I really did mean that! *wink*
Gonna have to check out that cleaver now too.
What's in my head and what comes out my mouth never match up lol.

edited to match everyone else: And yes, Min, I've fallen for it too long ago. But I wasn't trying to talk to a dragon at the time.

Just found out, if you accidentally crtl q back to far, ctrl w will scroll the other way.

Did you know: If an NPC wanders and happens to get in your way (or your pets way), you can make them move by saying "(NPC's name) move". There isn't much need for this old command these days, unless you are in Fel, or in a place where you can get past an NPC but your pet can't.

Cheers,

we can also use colored eggs and not just the white npc bought ones in food recipes that require eggs as a needed ingredient ... Happy baking

Did you know ...
if we want our parrots to face a certain direction just stand in the direction we want it to turn and feed it a wafer ... Polly wants a wafer

Did you know ...
when filling a large Cloth T-Bod requiring footwear it doesn't matter what type of leather footwear bod we use as long as it matches count, style, and quality (normal/exceptional) ... BOD Tailors Sew On

TY Celsius ...

Large Cloth Bods do not ask for a specific type of leather when it asks for ... shoes, sandals etc ...

But never know if last pub might have changed something too so I just ran a check and ...
yep it still works for Large CLOTH bods

I used a regular small 20 spine shoe bod to fill the 20 regular large bod
anyone want a filled regular 20 Large Cloth bod on Sonoma for free?
