Brief Combat

It removes all the "swing and a miss" combat spam.  It's perfect for large RPTs that involve combat.

[Versu]

Can skin a corpse without the skill.

I've read on the GDB of some other players doing this: I have an alias called 'l all' which is short for 'look all'.

My set of directional lookups is aliased to 'ql' as in 'quick look'.

Useful for organizing.

And poisoning yourself, don't forget that joy.

[RogueGunslinger]

And for getting the poison off a weapon too!

Newly available evidence suggests that many players do not realize there is an "assist" command to use for combat.

[MarshallDFX]

I don't use assist.  Only rescue.

I can remember one that didn't not so very long ago.

Aww, is it time for "when Gimf was a little Armer," stories?

Since we're picking on the Bynners combat characters, this is extraordinarily helpful in your prompt:
     %s    your current position

When you're in combat, it translates into:
     fighting: a war beetle >

(Yeah, that's probably shown up in this thread already.)

..... Once you poison a weapon, you can unpoison it?

[Bushranger]

Yes. The command is 'Backstab Templar' 

[MarshallDFX]

"exits"

Yep. 'pour waterskin knife'

This is why I like this thread.

'stop' command:

If you have queued up several commands, typing 'stop' will clear them out.

Example: you just entered in the commands e,e,e,e,e,e,e,n,n,s,s,s,e,e,e,e,n,n,n,n in order to speedwalk back to your guild's estate, but you just noticed something interesting in the last room.  Enter the command 'stop' and you will do just that, stop.  All the rest of your commands will be purged.

*boggle*  Me, too.  Holy crap.

[JustAnotherGuy]

Okay, I wish I knew that a LONG time ago.  *goes to clear out the huge amount of junk weapons that currently have taints on them*

[Gagula]

Snuff works for those things with and without flames.

On the code side of things, this thread really illustrates why Arm rules. It's been around over 10 years, and all these little goodies are the result.

Good, now it will make it easier to explore the desert for obsidian deposits. Before I used to just do it in short bursts of e,e,e then s,s,e then etc. And I must say, many of these things are helpful little tidbits. I'll have to actually try some of them out myself now. Especially the ones where they didn't say what it did...

Protip: If you habitually spam walk through the wilderness, your characters will habitually die.

[RogueGunslinger]

PROtip: never move in any direction without looking in it first. >l e; l n; l s; l w

Unless you're spam-walking with an erdlu, no one can catch those thing fast enough.
