  • Hate to say it but that’s true.  Not everyone has a shard shield.
  • Not sure what you are trying to damage.  Don’t use this spell much but usually three of four attack stuff, at least in Tokuno they do.  They don’t do much damage and you can’t control them with the mastery so I don’t animate very much.  Agree it is …
  • Just a note in the enhanced client two screen resolutions are available.  One is full screen and I forgot what the other is.  But one is much better than the other.  Remember when I was first starting the one was pretty bad.  Can’t tell you how to u…
  • As previously mentioned it is easy activate keyboard macros when you are chatting in the enhanced client.  Always try to be aware of where the cursor is when you are chatting.  Glad to see I am not the only one that has that problem.
  • Are you sure you want to do that?  Putting blessed items in a bag in you back pack can result in their loss if you are killed.  The same may be true for insured items.  Forgot just how it works but putting blessed and maybe insured items in a bag ca…
  • Area damage spells for the first wave.  If you are a mage stand in an open area surrounded by as much as possible and cast earthquake twice and then use lighting strike to mop up any survivors.  Find another spot and repeat until the second wave of …
  • Don’t mind shard bound since it’s unlikely I will ever travel to another shard.  But I think account bound is too restrictive.  The only way to make enough gold to get what you need is to have a vendor selling those hard to get items.  Would not min…
  • Think it will be in Destard and it’s name begins with Fey so dragon and fey slayers should come in handy.  Maybe, head there ahead of time to familiarize yourself with the layout and to mark some runes.  That’s what I did anyway.
  • Thanks for the reminder.  Enjoyed this event more than most of the others.  Liked that most players willing to play from start to finish got a sash.
  • Note if you skin them you can get a ingredient your mystic needs to cast spells.
  • Vendor search or kill toxic sloths in Tel Mur.  Use a reptile slayer.  My mage can one shot them   They carry some really good stuff if you kill enough of them.  The gold is not to bad either.  They are in the field just across the bridge on the eas…
  • Yes!  Good advice.  Check to make sure it shows up and at the right price. You will feel really dumb when you see that item you thought you marked at 15 million selling on your vender for 21 gold but that’s a lot better than you will feel the next d…
  • Confirm that.  Mine did not show up either until I wrote a description including the name. The sash works ok.  Did UO ever reveal this?  They must have known about it.  Thought it was just my vendor’s problem.
  • Hang around the Banks in Luna and Britain, and participate in the player events if you can.  That’s the best way to find players that might help you.  Also, sometimes in New Haven.  Otherwise, the internet is a good bet but the information is not al…
  • Yes 5.25% vendors are really great for newer players.  Most of the stuff I could sell for over a million when I first started took a couple weeks to move.  Would not dare to put those things on a daily commission vendor.  Come to think about most of…
  • As a newer player I put my more expensive items on a vender that does not charge a daily rate.  Items on this vendor count towards my houses inventory but the game does not drain my bank account the way the commission vendors referred to in the othe…
  • Don’t really understand what this is all about.  Is this a color only used by GMs and other players are using it to impersonate them?  Is it owned by another game? Don’t even know what this color looks like.  Just can’t see what removing this hue ac…
  • Throwing dynamics really take awhile to figure out and you can’t hit anything most of the time if you equip. a shield.  Don’t play mine that much because of that.  However if what you are trying to kill is focusing on another player or the players p…
  • Just don’t see what contribution reapers make to the game.  Some thought went into creating them, some thought went into the reasoning that that led to their casting ability being turned off, but appears very little thought went into turning it back…
  • Relevants chasing you can also follow you into your home.  That’s a little different though.  When I was just starting out a relevant cast by a butcher in Trammel followed me to Malas and killed me in my home there.  That was quite a surprise after …
  • Pretty sure it is near the entrance to the lost lands that is near the arena.  We have a library there.  There are always a couple reavers right next to the building.  It’s a good place to harvest them if you have a reason to do that.  I train throw…
  • If this is where I think it is at least one reaper is always spawned right next to that building.  Lots of reapers spawn in that area making it a great place to raise weapon skills.
  • Really don’t see the point.  They have never cast as long as I have been playing.  They are just a part of the scenery that’s useful to gargoyles training throwing.  Really don’t see any purpose in adding casting spells to their ability.  Maybe, if …
  • KHAN said: @ Mesanna @ Bleak @ Kyronix @ Misk Mesanna, you need to either start banning the known gold sellers/scripters OR come out and say it's OK for EVERYONE to do so. To allow the gold/item sellers to operate in violation of the rules is…
  • Also, think bird and bear slayer books are quite rare.  See the talismans for sale but don’t ever recall seeing a spellbook.  
  • If you are a mage, lure the Saliva to an area where you are one on one, then invis. for a second so it loses it’s lock, then cast an EV or two for it to fight, and then hit it with your mage mastery death ray, or with your flame strike.  If it is st…
  • To be sold over a very wide range of prices.  Sorry for the splitt screen finger slipped
  • Once you have a little gold don’t overlook vendor search.  A few vendors specialize in selling really good pieces at very reasonable and affordable prices.  Vendor’s set their own prices so always compare before you buy.  It is not uncommon, especia…
  • Started new three years ago.  You will need to use the internet a lot.  Players passing through New Haven will often talk with you and answer questions you have.  Recommend you start as a mage or a  paladin as those builds are fairly straight forwar…
