- R = Reveal Map
- It's possible to pick up and stash multiple copies of same charm from same boss

As a newbie player these are a couple of things I wished I knew sooner.

I did 392 extremely agonising Nihl sig runs, needing to clear around the edge of the map to find the stairs - average clear time to Nihl a laborious 4 mins. Meanwhile I thought I sucked hard reading posts by other players with 50 sec clears. Then I decided to remap my 'lock sprint' to R and discovered the game had a reveal map option! Facepalm!!

Druid morphs can't use abilities like blast wave, along with projectile abilities and some others that aren't noted at all in the skill description for the morphs.

Witch blood buried hawk only grants the skill for sorc because the tooltip specifically says its a sorc skill.

The three saber of the storm sails su combined roll is random and not based off the ones combined.

Twisted claw on druid and whirlpool oskills have issues with not doing damage if they're close to walls or the target is, making a good skill very unreliable if the conditions aren't favorable.

You can shard whist's other leg.

You can make crafts eth with the effigy.

Sp drop rate is basically double by some statistical testing.

Apples are more useful than Malus anyways.

Actually, Halls of Pain can only roll 3 different maps. Just by looking at the layout where the wp is, you can figure out every time where the exit is located without revealing the map.

The third level is completely random as far as I know.

The easiest way to check Halls of Vaught sight-unseen for the branch Nihlatak is hiding is to check for cloth/tapestry things at the entrance to each branch.

Only one will be there; that path has Nihlathak.
