This page has many of my quality of life aliases, contact me on the discord or in game if you found it useful, or have ideas of your own you'd like to add.

Contents

Intro

We can leverage advanced targeting with some fancy nicknames to add some quality of life improvements over the base game without doing any client-side scripting or tricks. Client-side scripting has some extremely powerful tools that allow you to accomplish things that are perhaps better suited to a different guide.

The aliases listed below are not copied verbatim from my own, my nicknames differ, and my shorthands are less legible, but I hope the ideas are clearly communicated and useful for you to create your own.

Two concepts I make use of here that may not be immediately obvious is the use of advanced targeting, and for each loops, they have help files available in game that I highly recommend reading.

I also take advantage of how the targeting system interacts with multi-word nicknames, I highly recommend having standard nicknames for your commonly used objects across all your characters. Invent an item-code for each character and for each utility item referenced by your shared aliases, for example Stride's items might all be prefaced with stri, all of my containers might be called SPOHO, and all my infused pibrits might be called PIB. So might carry around the following stri SPOHO, stri PIB, stri TRIX INV, stri dk PERP INV, stri PHOLE. Flourish's loadout would look very similar, substituting all the stri keys for fl. This helps your controls remain consistent across incarnoi, prevents your aliases from confusing your items with random ones you've picked up (or with other people's when helping them retrieve corpses), and helps keep your inventory looking tidy. Additionally, nicknames will persist across your atman so handling items belonging to multiple of your characters shouldn't become too onerous.

Inventory Management

Dividing your inventory

Having at least one kept container is very very useful for a few reasons.

  • When combined with the "belongings" targeting qualifier. A single container allows you to easily and instantly divide your inventory into four parts (worn items/kept items in inventory, kept items inside container, non-kept items in inventory and non-kept items inside container).
  • Containers make it much easier to parse the contents of your inventory, junk and not-junk can easily be kept separate.
  • Some containers, namely cloaks of holding and sporrans of holding reduce the weight of the items they contain, keeping encumbrance low is very good.
  • Containers protect items in your inventory from being damaged by attacks (though they are far from indestructible themselves).
  • Infuse your container to decrease its weight and increase durability.

All

  • drop, get, sell, drag elsewhere
set shared alias da to drop all except belongings except companions
set shared alias ga to get all except companions
set shared alias sellall to sell all except belongings except companions
set shared alias dra to get all except companions;$@;drop all except belongings except companions

Spoho verbs

  • look, count non-belongings, put, force put (for multiple kept items etc.), put in from ground
set shared alias check to open spoho;l in spoho;close spoho
set shared alias stock to open spoho;count items except belongings in spoho;close spoho
set shared alias stow to open spoho;put $@ in spoho;close spoho
set shared alias store to open spoho;put $@ in spoho!;close spoho
set shared alias stash to open spoho;get $@;put $@ in spoho;close spoho
  • get, drop, wear, wield, wield two-handed, get all except belongings
set shared alias fetch to open spoho;get $@ from spoho;close spoho
set shared alias ditch to open spoho;get $@ from spoho;drop $@;close spoho
set shared alias don to open spoho;get $@ from spoho;wear $@;close spoho
set shared alias grab to open spoho;get $@ from spoho;wield $@;close spoho
set shared alias grasp to open spoho;get $@ from spoho;wield $@ two-handed;close spoho
set shared alias clean to open spoho;get all except belongings from spoho;close spoho

Equipment

Some tricks for managing the gear you're wearing. I've omitted wield stuff because I never put away my sword, but it shouldn't be difficult to slot in the proper put! and get/wield commands. Also don't forget about the free command.

Quick Equip Basics

The following aliases take advantage of these two facts.

  • Items with multi-word nicknames can be identified by any of the words in the name.
  • Items that share words can be targeted as a group.

Start by nicknaming all of your gear to have a uniquely identified code in it. Don't forget that you can use colours in nicknames as well to make visually parsing stuff much easier.

set nickname for helmet to helmet {{Yellow}QWER}
set nickname for left glove to lefty {{Yellow}QWER}
set nickname for right glove to righty {{Yellow}QWER}
set nickname for boots to booties {{Yellow}QWER}
set nickname for halfsuit to coolhalfsuit {{Yellow}QWER}
  • Then swapping in and out of it becomes easy (functionally the same as store QUERs and don QUERs from above)
set alias nude to open spoho;put QWERs in spoho!;close spoho
set alias weargear to open spoho;get QWERs from spoho;wear QWERs;close spoho

But what if you have multiple sets of gear for different purposes? What if those gear sets have items in common?

set nickname for helmet to helmet {{Yellow}QWER} {{Green}ASDF}
set nickname for bodysuit to dapper suit {{Green}ASDF}
set nickname for ring 2 to ring of derp {{Green}ASDF}
  • Now you can easily toggle between three different setups
set alias nude to open spoho;put QWERS in spoho!;put ASDFs in spoho!;close spoho
set alias qwer to open spoho;put ASDFs except QWERs in spoho!;get QWERs from spoho;close spoho;wear QWERs
set alias asdf to open spoho;put QWERs except ASDFs in spoho!;get ASDFs from spoho;close spoho;wear ASDFs

Quick Equip + non container items

Sometimes items want to stay in your inventory and either don't belong, or can't be put in your container. This includes items such as matrices and gems of perpetuation/protection. They can be nicknamed with codes like above, and included in your setup aliases.

set nickname for matrix to trix {{Blue}INV}
set nickname for gem of perpetuation to perp {{Blue}INV}
  • Version 3 of gear swaps (extranude is the same as >store all)
set alias nude to open spoho;put ASDFs in spoho!;put QWERs in spoho!;get INVs from spoho;close spoho
set alias extranude to open spoho;put items in spoho!;close spoho
set alias qwer to open spoho;put ASDFs except QWERs in spoho!;get QWERs from spoho!;get INVs from spoho;close spoho;wear QWERs
set alias asdf to open spoho;put QWERs except ASDFs in spoho!;get ASDFs from spoho!;get INVs from spoho;close spoho;wear ASDFs

Personally. My INV items are always a subset of belongings. Some of the above aliases may need to be modified if you intend to hold items that you aren't keeping. (sellall for example will want to have "except INVs" in it)

Companion inventories

Sometimes you are going to be in situations with fire and annihilation hazards. In such cases familiars and companions can be useful for protecting your possessions, if not your body. (remember that spoken follower orders take an extra heartbeat while familiar urge charms do not)

  • stay put, disappear, and get it back.
set alias waithere to open spoho;put all except companions in spoho!;drop nicknamed_familiar;give spoho to nicknamed_familiar;concentrate on urging nicknamed_familiar to stop following
set alias osht to open spoho;put all except companions in spoho!;give spoho to nicknamed_familiar;concentrate on sending nicknamed_familiar to safety
set alias giveitback to concentrate on urging nicknamed_familiar to follow my_name;get spoho from nicknamed_familiar;get nicknamed_familiar
set alias giveitbackplusgear to concentrate on urging nicknamed_familiar to follow my_name;get spoho from nicknamed_familiar;get nicknamed_familiar;open spoho;get INVs from spoho;get QWERs from spoho;close spoho;wear QWERs
  • slightly different for anthropic followers.
set alias waithere2 to open spoho;put all except companions in spoho!;drop nicknamed_follower;give spoho to nicknamed_follower;say stop following to nicknamed_follower
set alias giveitback2 to say follow me to nicknamed_follower;get spoho from nicknamed_follower
set alias giveitbackplusgear2 to say follow me to nicknamed_follower;get spoho from nicknamed_follower;open spoho;get INVs from spoho;get QWERs from spoho;close spoho;wear QWERs

Consumables

These can apply to any mass produced comestible such as scrolls, food, oil flasks etc. They can be combined or interchanged depending on your style. Items that are normally randomly coloured will stack up nicely when nicknamed.

  • Scrolls of recall are op
9buy scroll of recall
set shared alias stowscrolls to open spoho;for scrolls of recall do set nickname for each to {{white}blank tp};put blank tps in spoho;close spoho
set shared alias settp to open spoho;get blank tp from spoho;set nickname for blank tp to {{white}$@};read $@ aloud;put $@ in spoho;close spoho
set shared alias setkeeptp to open spoho;get blank tp from spoho;set nickname for blank tp to {{white}$@};read $@ aloud;keep $@;put $@ in spoho;close spoho
  • Maybe there are multiple types of scroll you like to use...
9buy scroll of limb regeneration
9buy scroll of recall
set shared alias stowscrolls_version_2 to open spoho;for scrolls of recall do set nickname for each to {{white}blank tp};for scrolls of limb regeneration do set nickname for each to {{brown}limb scroll};put blank tps in spoho;put limb scrolls in spoho;close spoho
  • read a scroll open ended (rs lh tp aloud to friendo), or simply read scroll aloud
set shared alias rs to open spoho;get $@ from spoho;close spoho;read $@
set shared alias rsa to open spoho;get $@ from spoho;close spoho;read $@ aloud

You can add nickname codes in here to use for omitting these items from the clean and stock aliases above.

  • similar aliases work here. You get the idea (The fuel one works because once emptied, flasks of oil change into empty flasks)
set shared alias iden to open spoho;get lens of insight from spoho;close spoho;l $@ through lens of insight
set shared alias comp to open spoho;get lens of analysis from spoho;close spoho;l $@ through lens of analysis
set shared alias fuel to open spoho;get flasks of oil from spoho;for lanterns do refuel each from flask;for lanterns do refuel each from flask;put flasks of oil in spoho;close spoho
set shared alias munch to open spoho;get fooditems from spoho;eat fooditem;eat fooditem;eat fooditem;eat fooditem;eat fooditem;put fooditems in spoho;close spoho
set shared alias quench to open spoho;get drinkitems from spoho;drink drinkitem;drink drinkitem;drink drinkitem;drink drinkitem;drink drinkitem;put drinkitems in spoho;close spoho

Portable Holes

It should be possible to restructure all of the spoho aliases above to start with drop phol and end with get phol. They reduce the weight of anything contained to zero, but they can be leaky especially when overstuffed, and they are also extraordinarily fragile. I recommend only using them to store junk that you intend to sell later.

Misc Useful

Character Specific Aliases

Posture

Above, I described how I use aliases to quickly swap between different sets of gear. A posture is just a name I use for aliases that I use to quickly swap into pre-defined character settings (in addition to gear). Postures tend to be very specific for the character they are written for, so the examples I write below won't directly apply to anyone, but I think it's a useful way to go about setting up a character.

  • Usually each of my characters will have a normal default posture that they enter shortly after login to explicitly set my preferred baseline effort/scatter/strike/aim/attacks/stealth/follow/chase/companion behaviour for that character.
  • The simplest and most common posture I used on almost every character is for travelling. Which usually just involves putting on a ring of flight. but can often get more detailed.
  • Whether or not you explicitly override every setting in every posture is up to you, be careful that one posture doesn't mess up a setting (like stealth and elude for example) without a corresponding posture to normalize it (lest you wind up taking 20 minutes to travel anywhere and wonder why).
set alias takeoff to open spoho;get nicknamed_ring_of_flight from spoho;close spoho;wear nicknamed_ring_of_flight
set alias takeoff_extra_complicated to open spoho;put sp_intensive item in spoho!;put main_weapon in spoho!;get nicknamed_cloud_cloak from spoho;close spoho;get companions;elude off;stealth off;wear nicknamed_cloud_cloak;imagine flying
set alias land to open spoho;put nicknamed_ring_of_flight in spoho!;close spoho
  • Another common use case is to reset my (and my companions') baseline for suspended/active attacks
set alias webiting to stop attacking with all;start attacking with bite, headbutt;concentrate on urging my_familiar to stop attacking with all;concentrate on urging my_familiar to start attacking with tailslap, bite
  • if given multiple commands in the same heartbeat, followers will execute them in reverse order
set alias swordandboard to say followers, start attacking with sword, shield;say followers, stop attacking with all
set alias godlasers to say start attacking with the light of aeda to aedarene_follower;say stop attacking with all to aedarene_follower
  • These are just some illustrative examples that I wouldn't use
set alias plungeyfuntime to set effort to 60;set attack scatter to 100;set strike location to vitals;set combat mode to rapid
set alias nononsense to set effort to 120;set attack scatter to 60;set strike location to heads;set combat mode to aggressive
set alias burstdown to set combat mode to studious;set attack scatter to 0;set effort to 150;set strike location to heads;concentrate on urging my_familiar to set combat mode to all-out;concentrate on urging my_familiar to set attack scatter to 0;concentrate on urging my_familiar to set effort to 150;concentrate on urging my_familiar to set strike location to heads;start defending with all;stop attacking with all;start attacking with my_best_attack;tap manipura chakra;open spoho;get potion of heroism from spoho;get cool_things from spoho;close spoho;wear cool_things;drink potion of heroism
set alias regularstance to set combat mode to balanced;set attack scatter to 100;set effort to 110;set strike location to heads;concentrate on urging my_familiar to set combat mode to all-out;concentrate on urging my_familiar to set attack scatter to 100;concentrate on urging my_familiar to set effort to 130;concentrate on urging my_familiar to clear strike location;start defending with all;stop attacking with all;start attacking with my_various_attacks;tap kalila chakra
set alias nodeflection to stop defending with my_nicknamed_weapon;stop defending with left_forelimb;stop defending with right_forelimb;set combat mode to balanced;set attack scatter to foo;set effort to bar;set strike location to baz;concentrate on urging my_familiar to set combat mode to all-out;concentrate on urging my_familiar to set attack scatter to foo;concentrate on urging my_familiar to set effort to bar;concentrate on urging my_familiar to set strike location to baz;stop attacking with all;start attacking with my_favorite_attacks
set alias nodefense to stop defending with all;set combat mode to all-out;concentrate on urging my_familiar to set combat mode to defensive;stop attacking with all;start attacking with my_favorite_attacks

Other ones that don't share well

  • When your manipulators get messed up but you don't want to run away (the stop attacking at the end is only if you're using maneuvers that are better than standard attack)
set alias rw to free left hand;free right hand;get weapo_nickname;wield weapo_nickname two-handed;wield weapo_nickname;stop attacking with weapo_nickname
