+* If you want to talk to a NPC, but some animation of them takes too long (like
+ eating, drinking, smoking) you can sometimes force them out of it by quickly
+ unsheathing/sheathing your weapon.
+
+* When in the Old Camp: Baal Parvez takes you to the Sect Camp, Mordrag takes
+ you to the New Camp.
+ When you follow them and when they kill monsters then you also get the
+ experience.
+
+* The NPC Wolf in the New Camp sells "The Bloodflies" book for 150 ore. When
+ you read this book you learn how to remove bloodflies parts (without having to
+ spend learning points). Then you can sell the book back for 75 ore. This
+ investment quickly pays back: Per bloodfly: sting: 25 (unsold value), 2x wings
+ (15 each unsold value).
+
+* Gor Na Drak (usually near the old mine, but walks around with another
+ templar): talking to him teaches you how to learn to get secretion from
+ minecrawlers for free.
+
+* The spell scroll "Transform into bloodfly" is very useful:
+ * A bloodfly is very fast.
+ * Can also fly over water.
+ * The scroll costs 100 ore. Its the same price as a potion of speed, but it
+ has no duration (just until you transform back).
+ * You have no fall damage.
+ * You can climb some steep mountains this way.
+ * Some monsters won't attack you, but some NPCs will attack you.
+ * Your attribute stats will temporary change.
+ * It requires 10 mana to cast (low requirement).
+
+* Almost all mummies that are lootable in the game (Orc temple and The Sleeper
+ temple) have really good loot: permanent and regular potions and amulets and
+ rings.
