  • Thought spell damage increase only increased direct damage spells and not area damage spells like earthquake, energy vortex, and the mystic area damage spells.  Know it increases chain lightening and meteor swarm, but since I can target those I cons…
  • Yes, I get search results right after the times out message.  More often now searches take way longer than usual.  But, it works normally part of the time.

  • Tried vendor search on Atlantic tonight and it is messed up.  Searched on 15% lower reagent cost and 8% lower mana cost.  Got the time out message fairly quickly and then the search results.  Got to admit my first time seeing that.  Hope it starts w…
  • That’s a lot of search criteria and I am sure there is a ton of stuff to search through.  I usually just use one but have at times used 3 or 4 search criteria to search for things for my mage.  Maybe try a search using just lower mana and reagent co…
  • Works for me on Atlantic most of time.  Sometimes it’s slow and sometimes it’s blacked out, that’s not new.  But at least 75% of time it’s working normally. I rarely get the time out message. Might be something on your end if it’s always down.  Know…
  • Tha wiki’s provide a lot of information, but so do a lot of other sources.  Lot’s of times if it’s a detailed answer your looking for you will find it somewhere on the internet, but the probability of the answer being in the wiki’s is about the same…
  • Sometimes you can find them on vendor search.  That’s how I got mine.  Only paid a few thousand to get a half dozen or so.  Now I have hundreds.
  • Not so much into deco. but was surprised at no Valentine’s Day gift.  UO should have messaged players.  I was thinking I just missed the announcement of the event, and I was looking for it.  Miss the snow in Winter too.  Little personal touches make…
  • Be careful what you wish for.  If developers add a luck advantage to crafting they would likely redo the probably table.  Remember not reading many positive reviews of the treasure hunting rework adding remove trap.  Personally, think luck list incl…
  • Depends on the plant for harvesting. Not real familiar with this.  But to get orange petals you need to use other colored plants that just just give you seeds to create an orange plant that also gives you petals.
  • If you have EC, go to vendor search and click-on the casting option button which I think three or four down to display it’s drop-down menu, and choose spell damage increase and in the little box following the option type in 12 (for 12% or the percen…
  • A basic 120 mage can do all the Trammel, Felucca, Malas, Tokuno, and Tel Mur maps if it’s just the mage and the map.  In Tel Mur and Tokuno there are several areas that have too much other hard to kill stuff that’s walking around to make doing chest…
  • Without eval intel your template has no offensive capability at all when it comes to treasure hunting.  You would be relying 100% on your pet.  Think detect hidden and spellweaving are of limited use for treasure hunters so would recommend dropping …
  • Except for newer players with friends or other mentors already planning this game with the knowledge and resources they need, cannot see any other new players paying a subscription fee to play this game after a week or two trial period.  The gap bet…
  • Based on what a I read most of what you own on NL does not transfer.  Just a few deco. trophy type items transfer.  
  • Based on what I have read NL will be a guild based game in which you build your characters from scratch, and because you are limited to two? characters you will have to work with other players make those characters viable.  For example, if you have …
  • Thanks use death ray all the time.  Good to know.
  • No.  Think it just announces what is going on and sometimes some information in story form about events, and sometimes other stuff.  Have not clicked on it for awhile.  It could have changed.  Assume newsletter has more information though I rarely l…
  • I do that sort of macroing when learning a casting skill.  Can see where having someone macroing in front of my house for several days could be aggravating.  With EC don’t think you can just turn macroing on and off.  You are limited to repeating a …
  • Also, gargoyles can’t fly that fast.  Bots on horses can out run them with ease.
  • Yes, mind blast.  Have no idea why this is a fifth level spell.  It does next to no damage even to creatures weak to cold. Have set up all the direct damage spells as macros on the calculator pad on the keyboard of my computer so I can quickly cast …
  • Have to agree with Trallic.  Many of these rewards, like garden sheds, are a great solution for problems players that have been playing for years have, but for newer players with the same problems if these things come up on vendor search at all they…
  • To be honest I don’t use probably half of the spells in the Spellbook.  Other than liking the way they look can’t see any advantage to casting blade spirits.  Although if they do physical rather than energy damage that might be a point in their favo…
  • Had a gargoyle thrower for awhile,  think range for throwing weapons I found or bought varied from 8 to 10 with damage being done at a the weapon’s maximum range being a lot less than it was up close.  Bows all have a range of 10 and no damage reduc…
  • When I was learning magery, always wondered if I would live long enough to finish casting this spell.  There is a previous discussion on blade spirits in this forum.  In a nutshell most likely reason is that blade sprit cast in the past was much str…
  • UO does not sell veteran reward items in the store.  Have asked about this  before.  This policy forces newer players that don’t have a ton of gold to buy these items from third party unauthorized vendors on the internet.  Find this UO policy quite …

  • Where are you getting this stuff from?  I use EC’s macro system and it does not look anything like yours.  Current value is easy see when editing delay.  Not meaning to be critical.  See this format for macros here all the time and just wonder where…
  • Thanks.  Thought when I started i had read not to put blessed items in containers so have never done that.  Thanks for the clarification.  Think there is a container though will look around to see if I can find it.
  • Thought blessed and insured items in a container were lost, or is it just blessed items?  Think there is already a container that is itself blessed so any items inside are not lost.  Forgot what it is, but think it was some kind of object like a sta…
  • Really, a paint tool!  Is it called anything special?  Will look for it on vendor search next time I am on.  Thanks.
