Now, to take down 1 PlunderBeacon it needs 11 shots which it makes it, in Saltpeter, 11 x 30 a total of 330 Saltpeter....
Never be afraid to challenge the status quo
I mean, I do not see "how" the Developers could get what players feel may not be working well for their gameplay, unless they hear it from the players...
And, personally, I think that feedback from quitting players or from unhappy players might be more important as to hear what players are happy with if the end goal is to maintainand increase a good numbered players' base...
But, of course, that is just the way I see it.
2. I have been told to set aside at least 5 millions Doubloons points (which it means some 500 Plunder Beacons or, in Saltpeter, some 165,000 Saltpeter to mine....) if I want to be able to get a decent Triton, which is basically what I would like, to have a Triton with whom to then be able to play a Tamer with...
3.No
4.Skipped
5.No Bard Masteries... I only recently returned to Ultima Online and I have yet to catch up in many things, Masteries being one of them....
6.Orc Ship which I put together at the start of the Event by hunting NPCs Dread Pirates
7.Yes, I have a miner, an alchemist, a tailor, a blacksmith. The Ship's painting I only got it at the start of Rising Tide and, as I mentioned already, the Charges that I get are not sufficient to "keep up" with the amount of shooting that I need to do in order to move towards those 5 millions Doubloons points for a good Triton...
8.Still looking to find fellow players to party up with, with less players around, and those established players already being quite well-sufficient in all of their needs and UO necessities, it is not easy to be of any realistic and significant help to them.... I am more of a burden and a weight in UO, currently, then of any pratical help in any UO hunt.... people do not like to hang around with noobs, usually.....
@Pawain, does he really need to open 35 triton statues to get a decent triton or two or three?

Luck 2,900ish.....
Got 6 Gigantic Niter Deposits. Total Saltpeter mined in 1 hour at that Luck 1,726.
Note. Each hit can yield 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 Saltpeter.
First Deposit went down in 117 hits and yielded 206 Saltpeter. Average of 1.76 Saltpeter per hit.
Therefore, those 886 hits at Niter Deposits yielded that total of 1,726 Saltpeter or, an average of 1.948 Saltpeter per hit.
I see it as a pattern therefore....
Give or take, the average per hit is pretty much ALWAYS 2 Saltpeter per hit.
If the code was more "generous" to skew Salteter returns more towards 4 Saltpeter per hit, one could get almost twice as that Saltpeter in the same mining time....
And I am even doing it with pretty high Luck..... definitively more then average....
As I said, the Saltpeter returns per hit should definitively be increased....
Perhaps edit the code to add also 5, 6 and more Saltpeter per hit so to raise the averaged returns, but, I think, something should be done as the current Saltpeter yields are way too low, considered the time it takes to mine it....
Oh, and for the record, I also tried a couple of Gigantic Deposits with less Luck, 1,700ish rather then 2,900 after that hour, and got
The "Size" of the Deposit with less Luck was less "durable"... that is, it went away in less hits BUT, the average Saltpeter yielded "per hit" was pretty much the same of the Deposits mined with more Luck.... so, apprently, Luck does not affect the "per hit" Saltpeter yield....
I think a few more lines of code should be added, permitting the possibility of a hit to yield, as I said, 5, 6 and even more Saltpeter per hit which should then raise the total average per hit, I would imagine....
But could take more.
And he just needs 1.
I know I'll never have time to get more than those 10 and so I'll just have to settle with what comes out of the statues. If wrestling skill on any one of them is under 120, can I still use animal training to make them into acceptable pets? I am so befuddled about animal training, I honestly don't know. All I know is that I'll never be able to afford power scrolls for any of my pets, so they'll just have to be GM in most skills unless they come out over GM naturally.
Are tritons going to be an "okay" pet within those parameters or am I really just wasting my time trying to get any because the ones with less than 120 wrestling aren't worth putting in the effort to train them without also using power scrolls on them? I'm not a super-ambitious UO player and I seldom make it to EM events, so chances are really, really slim that I'd ever need to use them in a competitive situation against other players to gain "prize" loot.
If you have higher scrolls use them
This is PRECISELY what "in theory" is very nice about the Triton, that it "potentially" can come with 130 Wrestling and 190 resisting Spells thus, not needing any powerscrolls...
The problem is, that because of the RNG, the chances to get a Triton with those 2 Skill numbers are very remote.... that is why it is necessary to spawn a high number of them, to have more chances at a good spawn....
