Reallly useful thread, (link at bottom of page)

Summary follows:

2+ years of WoW and I never knew...

The obvious ones.
Pet trainers train pets to make your pets bigger,
Talent trees 'n' talent points 3 trees per class use them - make yourselves better, stronger, faster.
Rogues can lockpick!
Elevators in UC can kill on comp freeze, bad timing,
First aid, Cooking, and Fishing. Get them, buy them, use them. Free heal = free mana or free pots or free petfood. Essential.



that if a hunter Feign's Death while a healer is midspell it cancels the heal, but the mana is still used. (Vlatch) many others have reported that this occurs when the caster has Self-casting on only. (see below)
that there is a toggle in the interface menu which causes all beneficial spells cast when you don't have a friendly target selected to land on yourself. Thus when you feign 1/2 a second before the heal lands, the heal lands on the healer, wasting the mana and overhealing. (Arid)
that you can heal hunters who are feigning death. It interupts any heals by making you lose the target, but you can retarget them and heal while they're feigned. When they get back up they'll have more health. (Ixitixl)
that warlocks can fear a target and then use Curse of Recklessness (Curse of recklessness->makes you immune to fear but doesn't break it)to break the fear without removing the fear effect. They can then throw back on Curse of Agony (removes curse of recklessness)and the mob will become feared again without the need to reapply fear. Pretty cool. (Evelgest) (Badmedicine) recommends using lvl 1 curses to prevent fear breaks and save mana.
that in beta, the warlock summon didnt require other people, we could summon inside of instances and we could summon ghosts back to their bodies to res up. (Contagionz)
that a lock could target themselves, summon themselves, hearth (to repair, get reagents, e.t.c) and then accept the summon back. (Aquenes)

that Silencing shot on a druid in bear makes him unable to Growl.(Sedyne)
that Disarm has no effect on Bear and cat form druids. (Sedyne)
that if you press shift and right click you can loot every thing on the body instantly (Tarnes) now there's the auto-loot option, so you don't need to press shift. (Kermittheorc) which reverses the shift click behaviour if you have set the auto loot check box in the Interface Options (Tauceti)
that shift-clicking a item while in the first AH window will copy the title of that item into the search bar. (Mallanna)
that pressing both mouse buttons makes you run (Radnips)
that if you just right click on a mob it auto attacks and smashing the "attack" button isn't a good idea. (Adaz)
that the " / " key on the numberpad would toggle run/walk. (Vrath)
that the (shift-b) B key will open all bags. (Kermittheorc)
that toggling number lock button is equivalent to holding down the forward key. (Autorun/Autowalk) (Serano)

that there is a guy who gives you a quest to swim to soutshore to deliver some liquor. He is located on a small platform between the dun Modr bridge leading to arathi highlands. Gives some good exp to (Macdoogle)
that there are PIRATES in ARATHI? Near Faldir's Cover in Arathi Highlands. (Carlotta)
that the waves in Blackfathom Deeps come one at a time if you click the fires one at a time. (Minkyminky)
that you go to the West (I believe) twin colossus in Ferelas there's a friendly NPC that'll teleport you to the top. Great view. And getting back down involves buying a parachute . (Adaz) Whatever you do dont try and parachute while still mounted or you will die and your body will be impossible to get to. (Drowurden)
that wolves kill random rabbits that pass by. (Hounder)
that the Sea Giants fart bubbles. (Lakrinzo)
that mobs can sometimes run straight up walls. (Nikogrel)
that Crocolisks have 6 legs (Eärend)
that you can hold down the alt key and use the directional keys while chat is open to move your text cursor around (left and right arrows), or to flip through previously sent messages (up and down arrows).
