[RPG] Handy shortcuts

Zappo

Explorer
Am I the only one who dislikes the omnipresent "redirect" pages in RPG? Yeah, I know I bought a potion, can I use it already?

So I figured out a way to accelerate the whole thing. Let me share. :)

Entering any of these URLs in your browser will cause your RPG character to perform that action, even if you have no RPG page open, so I've made them non-clickable just to be on the safe side.

I've bookmarked the following URL:

http://www.enworld.org/forums/inferno.php?&act=BuyHeal&id=8

with the name "Buy 100 HP potion". A click on the bookmark from anywhere, and I buy a big potion without the need to click on "Temple", and wait for it to load. Then, I've bookmarked the following URL:

http://www.enworld.org/forums/inferno.php?&act=UseHeal&id=8

with the name "Use 100 HP potion". A click on the bookmark from anywhere, and I use a big potion from my inventory (if you use it during a battle, it won't redirect you to the battle, though).

This makes healing between battles extra fast, skipping a whole bunch of pages. Just keep the "favorites" tab open, click on "Buy 100 HP potion", click on "Use 100 HP potion" and 100 HP are healed. You don't even need to wait for the redirect. Just wait a few seconds between the two clicks (or more if the boards are slow). You can even click twice on "Buy 100 HP potion" to get two potions at a time, though you must wait some seconds between the clicks.

And, to start battles faster, I've bookmarked the following URL:

http://www.enworld.org/forums/inferno.php?act=CreateBattle

which will take me directly to the battle creation page (which explorer should conveniently cache for instant access in most cases).

You can accelerate lots of actions in a similar fashion (I think I will use it for Recharge Arcane as soon as magic becomes useful). :)

Actually, writing the post took me more time than discovering the shortcuts and setting up the bookmarks. I've been doing a lot of web applications, and I notice these things quickly.

This one will take you to your current battle. Handy for skipping some redirects. Warning: be aware that your browser may cache the wrong page.
