Maybe this could be that topic if someone wants to edit the first post to continually add to it? ;) There is also a Tips for Adventuring in Thay thread that was updated almost two years ago, but could be pages and pages and pages more if anyone wants to add to it.

Here have been all my tips of the day so far for use wherever someone might want to list/categorize them:

1. XP is awarded for each new area you explore, including overland areas. Including all overland areas, there is just under 1000 areas in the module. That's a lot of easy XP just sitting out here waiting for you to claim.
2. Almost all non-circular crypts and caverns have one-way secret doors as shortcuts back toward the entrance. Find these and save yourself an exhausting, and possibly dangerous, trip back out.
3. Use the airship Crystal Ball, docked in Eltabbar's Lake Thaylambar district, to quickly transport you to dangerous and distant locations of Thay. But be prepared to pay well for the convenience.
4. PC legionnaire sergeants or higher can imprison others. First use your legion cloak on prison shackles within your tharch. Then any time later you can use the cloak on a person you wish to imprison.
5. Owning a hoard of gold you could swim in isn't necessarily a good thing. Zulkirs may seize a part, thieves may steal a part, and merchants may not pay as well for items from their 'rich' customers.
6. Each adventure location in Thay is targeted to a specific level range of PCs. To get the best rewards out of your adventures, take quests from NPCs who will send you to an area intended for your level.
7. Increasing your appraise skill is important to get the most money out of merchants. It affects the mark up or mark down on a merchant's price, and the maximum amount they'll pay you for an item.
8. On out-of-the-way doorsteps in most Thayan cities, you may find flaming bags of poo. Stomping on one will teach you a valuable lesson (XP). Damn kids.
9. Red Wizards and Thayan Gladiators are the only factions that allow customization of their faction item at Tailor Models.
10. The owner of a property and quickly and easily transfer it, and everything in it, to someone else by using their building key on that person twice within 30 seconds.
11. Always have Belladonna in your pack for a quick and easy way to cure lycanthropy if you have been bitten. Otherwise, one of three spells cast during a certain timeframe can also remove the curse.
12. Go to a temple of your patron god to get a discount on healing, the resurrection fee, and store prices from the priest providing those services.
13. Use caravan masters to send messages by raven to other characters. They will be delivered within minutes if they are logged in, otherwise the recipient will get the message when they next login.
14. Use writing quills to customize anything you own. Not only can they be used for books and letters, but you can also use them on items - or even to alter/update your PC's description.
15. The adventure portal in the Temple of Tymora in Pyarados will send you to an adventure location in or around Thay, while bestowing a powerful blessing from Tymora that lasts for several minutes.
16. Throughout Thay you will find courtesans in brothels and on streets. Paying for one will grant you XP, especially if you pay for an expensive companion and impress them with your sexual prowess.
