- You can set a preference to display the slider as
-100% to 100%
or0% to 100%

Hacked Boosted-Graft: Feet of Stone
One of the two root grafts that can be used by any profession, the other root graft being Lesser Paralyze with Indecision. It can be bought from the Den Smuggler Broker in Smuggler's Den.
Some tips:
- Root grafts can be used even if you're in nano recharge, which lets you root your opponent even if you're running or mid-cast
- You will always succeed in bypassing your opponent's nano resist using a root graft. A raging enforcer, a MA affected by upon a wave of summer, or a NR8 perked toon has a 0% chance to resist this graft
- The graft is however still affected by innate root resist, like Boon of the Wanderer, or boss immunities

Notum Focus
An incredibly useful item at any level. Drops off Clawfinger Forefather in Smuggler's Den.
When activated, it restores 800 nano, with a 30 minute cooldown. It's usuable even by L1s, and has no requirement to use

The Repressor
To use this, you need to not have any FP running (true agent form), you need to be fighting a target, and you must have something attacking you. When you use it, you force everything attacking you to drop combat.
When used properly, it's possible for an agent to aimed shot the same mob twice midfight even when the agent is holding aggro. Using The Repressor on an attacking mob will temporarily stop the mob from attacking you, letting you go back into sneak or use a recharger if you're quick enough. This also works in BS/towers/city PvP (but not in duels!). Using The Repressor on a player stops his auto attack against you, which then allows you to re-enter sneak. For paid agents, the proper combo is to true prof -> repressor -> sneak/recharge -> continue the fight

Trimmer - Divert Energy to Avoidance
A not-so-well-known trick involving this item involves breaking calms using it. When your pet is calmed, you can use a low QL version of this trimmer on your pet to hit it for some damage, breaking the calm. It locks your EE skill for 5 minutes and so it can't be used repeatedly though. But it's still useful at lower levels, or if you're locked out of using the pet attention line nanos

Nano Crystal (Calling of Belamorte)
You can overdrive your heal pet's heal rate by commanding the heal pet to follow immediately after casting its heal, then redirecting the pet to heal again exactly 4.5s later. This skips the initial cast time of the heal. Even for pets like Belamorte where the first heal is insta-cast, this method ensures that subsequent heals are insta-cast as well, increasing heal rate by >50%!
Using a macro/script can be useful for automatically forcing the heal pet to heal faster. The downside is that you have to keep your heal target consistently targetted for the script to repeatedly command the heal pet. Such a script can be found here (courtesy of @Poison Orochi): https://github.com/PoisonOrochi/Anarchy-Online-scripts/blob/main/pethealfollow10.txt

Bonehammer
~20% drop chance of Jocasta in the Cyborg Barracks, who takes 5 hours to spawn.
It's an amazing froob support item, since it stacks with all other initiative debuffs, is not counted as a snare, and effectively reduces raid boss damage by 10-30% when stacked with other debuffs.
It's even been used to clear DB3 using only froobs! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fY1pgUjFKwY

Superior Deflection Shield
For endgame froobs, you should aim to temporarily twink your deflect to 1000 to equip a QL 200 superior deflection shield, just so you can maximize the evade buff it gives. Then, to use the activatable effect, keep a lower QL deflection shield in your inventory which you can use instead.
A similar trick can be used for flurry of blows

Flurry of Blows
For endgame froobs, you should aim to temporarily twink your fast attack to 1000 to equip a QL 200 flurry of blows, just so you can maximize the initiative buff it gives. Then, to use the activatable effect, keep a lower QL flurry of blows in your inventory which you can use instead.
A similar trick can be used for the superior deflection shield

Instruction Disc (Playful Cub (Other))
This still drops rather commonly from RK dynas and mobs, and is used to make a shattered nano crystal that uploads Playful Cub (Other)

Shattered Nano Crystal
There are 2 ways to cast this. The first is with a playful cub graft, that is buyable from Smuggler's Den, and has a 14min cooldown.
The second way is to have an adventurer upload it to cast it on you. You can make this nano crystal from the Playful Cub (Other) instruction disc that still drops today from dynas and RK mobs. Ths finished nano crystal will appear shattered, but is uploadable by adventurers either way.
Very useful for that +100 RS, especially if you're travelling in SL!

Black Clan Heavy Tank Armor
nice multi-melee twink for the back. Doesn't look like anything else gives this much multi melee in the back armor slot.
