Which of the useless skills have unknown uses?

[MZ3K]

The wiki describes spirit speak as a useless skill that only allows you to read what players intend their dead characters to say. However, a recent post revealed that it isn't so useless: it enables casters to regain some mana when they cast direct damage spells on monsters.

Do any of the other useless skills (i.e. begging, camping, item ID, forensic evaluation, taste ID, herding, and cooking) have more value than commonly believed?

Using the begging skill on the donation vendor gives you a chance for a random special hued ethy.

Okay, it's an unconfirmed rumor, that has popped up periodically for the past three years...

lol this is bullshit, every ethy I have gotten from begging the dono vendor(1 per account) has been normal ethy hue.

Yes you can get special hued items during certain holidays but these are dependent on what your char is wearing and what they say between begs.

other than that I think it's just cbd's that you can get from begging, maybe @Violence can elaborate though I know he made a killing doing this.

FYI

Spirit Speak & Idol of the Magi

When a player has a meta talisman Idol of the Magi AND has GM Spirit Speak, they receive 25% mana recovery from any direct damage spell cast against PVM targets.

WTF you can actually get ethys & cbds from macroing begging on the Dono vendor? Any vendor in particular? Might have to set up a few chars to beg while I'm at work >.>

 

[ProdigyOsi]

Yeah very low chance so it may take a while but you just have to do it over and over. I had luck by switching between all three to maximize my chances.

 

[Swayze]

I have a red ethy I got from begging but it took 5 freaking days to get.

 

[Belge]

I gave up with my beggars.. just took too long... but, I know a few people that scored big.

This is absolutely correct. I would just leave all 3 of my accounts macroing begging on the dono vendor pretty much all day. The drop rate is obviously very low otherwise everyone would do it all the time, but its definitely worth dedicating all your accounts to it if you're not online.
