  • So, what are you planning on using this batd-mystic for? Farming gold or working champ spawns? Heading out with guildmates or solo play?  Second question: are you going to Legendary (120 skill)  Discord?  I don't have one myself, but my guildies te…
  • Merus said: I think you could accomplish much of what you want for mages with a couple simple changes: ~ Adjust the curse spell to be more impactful in PvM ... something like lowers enemy resists by 5% - 25% for 60 seconds (scaled based on…
  • Sitromis said: This post has aged, but its content remains valid. As one who has always enjoyed the pure mage, I find it very unfortunate that a large portion of the game is not available to me (as a soloist in this guise) - even with excess…
  • I was working some skills on a younger character, lost some gold and skill-gains. Bigger problem was the reset put me in the middle of Ilshenar at log-in instead of Skara Brae where I was at crash. Thankful at least I did not wake-up next to an para…

  • Rock said: All my adventurers have had some method of healing and curing poison, whether it be Healing, Chivalry, Magery, etc.  I've made two characters now, though, that have no or very little direct healing capabilities. The first bui…
  • JollyJade said:Ivenor said:JollyJade said: UO is NOT "any (...) game". It's a SANDBOX game, and, IMO, its only chance to stay open for many others years (as we all hope!) is to base its revenue mainly on the FIXED INCOME that derive from subs, plus…
  • I prefer the simplistic movement Ultima Online currently offers. "Debilitating collisions" already exist in Felucca, you have to push through other players and will take a hit to Stamina as a result. Adding further physics adjustments such as accele…
  • DapperBadger said: Hello all,  I've been away since the tail end of AoS. I was hoping all of you could list some popular builds. I'll be 100% PvM, either solo or duo. I'm interested in doing tougher more rewarding content(is doom still a thi…
  • I have several pets with full XP bars but they are only partially trained because I have not acquired the needed Power Scrolls yet.  I receive constant messaging on the pet's XP gains even though the bar is full. Would love a "disable messaging" opt…
  • Pawain said: It makes you hidden when you open the store. There are reasons you cant use it everywhere.  Vendor search does not hide you. Also a good idea to pay cash for an item that could get stolen just as you got it if you are not in a …
  • Garth_Grey said: I wonder how many returning players will buy or tame a blue beetle, go out and chop more logs than they can carry, and then find out they can't ride the beetle they just bought, and rode out into the woods,  with items inside…
  • Events I have participated in on Pacific and Origin have been very heavily attended by tamers and mystics. Players seem to enjoy letting their pets do all the work these days. An archer might perform well since it has range, but good armor pieces w…
  • Cookie said: ...On Stratics, I challenged Mesanna to show me her playing a Mage, to solo 80% of the games content - she never did. One of my friends uploaded video's of him soloing 80% of the games content on a Sampire as my side of the challeng…
  • Cookie said: Hi Thalon,I accept there will always be instances of one template is better than another template for a specific event or boss, if it happens here and there, that is fine.My Thrower is ideal for soloing Navrey and Stygian Dragon.…
  • Cookie said: Good post. I'll bite.1. I'd like pure mage, and pure warrior to become more effective in pvm. For pure mage, everything out there is designed to disturb their spells, or monsters have huge resist so they cannot even do any damage…
  • Basara said: I have never understood the fascination with the worthless (to me) Resist Spells skill. I've got it at 120 - on a soulstone. It made ZERO difference in the field for me.  As with the others, I agree though that the 30 Anatomy is…
  • Your post shows considerable thought, but I do not think the power creep is a big deal in Ultima Online. I am not saying it doesn't exist: - Top gear drops are definately more powerful now than in 2000, 2010, or even 2015. - New expansions release n…
  • InLor said: Possible subscriber perks.10% discount at all player and non-player vendors in-game (UO bank pays for the difference, so you receive your full price as a seller) Abuse is way too easy. 1) Put a fish/coin/log on your vendor for…
  • Zero said: Well, but the past pack isn't included and i got a big "gap" in the game. The greatest thing, what is missing to me, is a gargoyle imbuer ... i payed a month gametime and bought the last avaiable upgrade, but cant use things in th…
  • Yes, Eval and Anat do still combine for defensive wrestling. Since you mentioned you are going PvM that is generally a waste of points since several weapons have Spell Channelung + Mage Weapion 0. Very few monsters use disarm and your template shoul…
  • No date set.  The upgrade will happen when Publish 99 on TestCenter goes live. It is likely you have less than a week to wait. Current information says end of March.  A newsletter was released February https://mailchi.mp/broadsword/ultima-online-ne…
  • I like the Lost Lands. City of the Dead, Titan Valley and northern desert were my favorite places to adventure before Ilshenar was created. Still visit often.
  • While not a video library, there is a section on uo.com dedicated to returning players: https://uo.com/wiki/ultima-online-wiki/a-summary-for-returning-players/
  • I did not realized that the poll was 1 answer allowed only, so two answers are not possible for question 3. I will also outline an example for improving the traditional Warrior template. To figure out what the Warrior is lacking, let's compare the S…
  • Feigr said: Am I missing something or are you guys saying players have to buy an item with cash to know where to go to train? Yes, the Runic Hunting Atlas is a Store item. Besides the NPCs you mentioned, new players could always ASK someo…
  • Okami said: How does your post relate to improving the information flow in game to steer new and returning players to appropriate areas for character progression? You're acting as though this was a personal appeal for advice, which it is not…
  • I have never used a Nox-Mage. Might have to try one. Must remember to stick with the template I decided on. Too many game hours retraining half-finished characters, although with New Haven around not nearly as much time is needed.
  • Greetings!
  • Okami said: I should point out, I'm not discussing "higher level" content, my strict concern at this time is the fact the 50-100 skill range game for combat seems near nonexistent. So was I. You were given several suggestions in my previ…
  • Maximus_Neximus said: I've played a sampire for years and it's my top 2 favorite character to play. But I agree with this statement. Doom shouldn't be relegated to sampires with high end gear only. Sampires may work "best" but they are not th…
