Party tricks: all 31 and how to learn them

The essentials

  • 16 party tricks are known from the start; the other 15 are learnt from a character, through a quest or from Cap'n Max Meddlin (80 mini medals).
  • Knowing all of them earns the Expressionist accolade. Tick the ones you have in My collection.

All 31 party tricks, in menu order. 16 are known from the start: the game does not even record them. The other 15 are learnt from a character, through a quest, or from Cap'n Max Meddlin (mini medals, Dourbridge) once his last reward has been handed out (80 medals). Knowing all of them earns the Expressionist accolade.
