Hey,
so I didn't really remember / figure out a place to share the little lifehacks for those of us playing lusternia. Over the course of the years little things you figure out you never knew worked and somebody else might not know as well, so I thought sharing them here and invite anybody else to contribute for those 'I never knew' moments you have when working with lusternia and its interface.

You can SURVEY in a room with a planar rift to see where it leads without having to go through (unsure if this is linked to a specific Planar skill or not, I want to say it is but ?? heck if I can remember.)
All village commodities can be targeted using the generic commodity noun, or by a specific one ie. coalcommodity, ironcommodity, eggcommodity.
MAP <number> will show a map of any mapped location with that room number. MAP <area name> <x> <y> <z> will show the room at those x, y, z coordinates on the visual map. This is true even if you've never been to that room, or if it's behind a hidden exit.
Ixion tells you, "// I don't think anyone else had a clue, amazing form."
Also, EMLIST <word> to search for all emotes containing that word, like EMLIST SMILE, which will get you all the smile emotes. Very helpful for narrowing down the long and varied list of Lusternia's preset emotes.
Adding to @Moi’s earlier point: you don’t always have to list highly specific commodities when more general ones apply for your design. (Example: “bird” can be used instead of “pigeon” and applies to more corpses you can work with.)
Enter (or exit!) all of the things without knowing the names of the things.
Citizens of Magnagora can TELL ARDRAK REPORT to find out how much power is in the Megalith. This may have to be done from Prime. Meleris also has one of these, but I forget the actual phrase.
Stratagems are your friend, budding combatant. Don't just alias to evoke pentagram/invoke circle; instead, SETALIAS EP SM ADD FREE EVOKE PENTAGRAM, that way you can use it immediately the next time you recover balance. It's faster than your eye's reaction to seeing yourself recover.
On that note, alias all the things. Alias fancy emotes your character may want to use often.
If olive oil comes from olives, where does baby oil come from?
If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?

To my knowledge, this isn't documented properly anywhere, so here you go:
1) Searching by DESIGNEDBY (Designer)
So let's say I want to find an old tailoring design by Daraius. To search all tailoring designs open to to me for it, I'd do:
TAILORING ALL DESIGNEDBY DARAIUS
2) Searching by APPEARANCE, DROPPED, or EXAMINED
Or let's say you're shopkeeping and you want to find masculine robes in particular to stock in your inventory. To search for one that uses the word "masculine" in the description, just do this:
TAILORING GREATROBES EXAMINED MASCULINE
Or let's say you just want a pair of purple shoes. We change up the formula to be this:
TAILORING SHOES APPEARANCE PURPLE
(The same basic concept applies to DROPPED, but I don't know if you have any strong opinions on a dropped description.)
3) Searching by CARTEL
Looking to only see your cartel's designs? Easy peasy.
TAILORING ALL CARTEL SILKENSNOW
Fun fact: "Public" counts as a cartel also!
