Never realized that UO provides two different kinds of wrestling offensive and defensive. Am familiar with wrestling skill and it’s special moves. So is defensive wrestling, based on anatomy, the same just without the special moves or is it someth…

DeathBringer checked your link. I have two mages one with wrestling and one without. Both use spellbooks the same way. Don’t think the wrestling skill makes any difference. Not sure what writer is trying to say in that melee section.
-
Talisman slayers only work with weapons. If your a mage get a talisman that increases spell damage.
-
Think it goes back to UO’s early days. With wrestling a mage has a chance to disarm or stun an attacker, for example another player trying to kill you. May still be useful that way. I do mostly pvm and to be honest on my mage that has it he has n…

New and exotic rewards are fine for long time players that already have most of everything else. But for us newer players how about including some of the more practical stuff from prior events. Enjoyed return of earlier Tokuno and invasion events b…

Necro and spirt speak dovetail nicely with magery. Necro spells increase the damage done by direct damage magery spells. And, wraith’s form ability to leech mana makes a huge difference sometimes when using the mage mastery death ray. Also, might…

To the programmers. Isn’t it about time for a definitive answer or at least a heads up as to what’s going on? If you don’t know what’s happening just say you don’t know and that you are working on it. The players are frustrated, Mariah has told u…

Think the key is a combination of damage points from weapons or spells, raising dead players and getting killed. That’s what works for me anyway. Working with other players to kill things works especially when going after the big ones.

Personally would not complain about four or five drops a hour. Think that’s about average. Know some pretty good players and don’t think they do much better than that most of the time. Some hours they might do more but in general four or five an …

Had a tactics mage a long time ago and a regular mage. Tried them both out with the same mage weapons. Tactics mage always got better results from the mage weapon but nothing to write home about as I remember. Some weapons faired much better than…

You feel like you are being held hostage because you are. Has been a marketing strategy since day one. If you don’t pay on time the game allows other players to loot everything you own and you lose your house as well. It’s one of the reasons I di…

A little late for a comment should have looked at the dates.

Look for unique combinations of letters and numbers. For example, scroll 25 for 25 stat scrolls. You don’t need to spell out the entire word. Scro 25 might work too have not tried that yet. And, for items with specific features, for example sel…

A big yellow tabby cat and a tortie among others.

Thanks

Yes, agree is fun when not sure what we are talking about. Regarding Bilbo’s post would not make sense for players staying on the New Legacy shard to keep their skill levels after the shattering. Such a huge advantage at the beginning of the next …
-
Meant to say do not really see the need to have this function on the test shard. Editing skills appear to be declining, sorry.
-
Why would you allow player housing on the test shard in the first place? Is this post implying I can place another house on the test shard? If so, what can I keep in it. Have never been on the test shard but if I can use it to create additional s…
-
No it does not but it does provide an additional storage option to players that have maxed out the house.
-
Think developers here do read the forums and occasionally respond in one way or another to what players say. So I would argue they do listen to and care about what the player base says. But think they could do much better. For example, would have…
-
Thanks. That takes care of that.

Don’t have taming nor do I know much about it, but have wondered about this for awhile. If I buy a fully trained pet, and add 80 lore and vet, either real, or a combination of real and from jewelry, to my template can I use the pet in the field and…
-
Pawain, EJ accounts can’t place houses but do increase your storage by I believe 290 (the backpack and bank box storage for the two players allowed on the same shard.). Thought seriously about doing this but finally decided against doing it because …
-
Storage is a big problem and way overpriced. Vault storage is I think $3 a month for a measly 125 items, the storage increase I can buy for $20 is next to nothing, I don’t own a castle nor do I have interest in buying one, and I am limited to havin…

Goldie. I kill the smaller stuff, help other players kill the bigger stuff and heal the dead. That usually gets me a drop about every half hour. I do invis. for short periods occasionally. Don’t play a tamer so don’t know for sure if this helps y…

One last note. If you come in from a distance greater than 10 and cast a spell at 10 before the monster locks in on you, and then quickly back up to 12 or 13 before the spell hits and invis. the monster won’t know you are there. Just run in cast a…
-
Note on damage spell range: it appears to be about 10 when you look at the distance display. If you approach a caster from a greater distance or if it is coming towards you but has not previously cast anything at you, it does not start casting unti…
-
The game can’t keep up with the action. All the spells were cast when you were in range but instead of getting hit all at once the game dynamic can only allow one to hit at a time so you keep getting hit even though you may already be several scree…

But would not mind a real fireworks display in the sky or background. Pretty sure you can do it.
