  • 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.
  • Yes, skins for 1st year reward horses.  Make them look good like the chargers do.  Get so tired of staring at a transparent horse.
  • It also cycles through everything on the screen and then some while the nearest hostile chases you.  If you are a mage, switch to meteor swarm or chain lighting.  You can aim those with the cursor.
  • Thanks.  Thought that was the case but wanted to make sure before I tried it.
  • I don’t always agree with the reasoning given, assuming some is, for closing some of these threads.  And, I think in a lot of threads on the same subject that continue to show all the time could be answered better by management just giving a general…
  • Other than Fel., cache chests don’t contain any scrolls.  Odd since I think even supply chests contain blue and pink ones.  Have not done a chest for a couple months so things might have changed.  Generally sell or turn in Edon chests so can’t speak…
  • Glad I did not wait for Atlantic to reappear.
  • Been awhile now.  Really, most unstable game ever.  Never know what’s going to work and what’s not when I log on.  Was lucky to be in a safe location.  Going to log now.
  • Skill gain rate varies from skill to skill based on the skill, your skill level, and whatever you are doing to gain in the skill.  There is always a probability of a gain based on your skill level and what you are doing.  There are so many variables…
  • I play a mage mostly and did ok at both sides of this event.  The first part allowed players to choose to play in areas best suited for their templates so they could get drops.  The second event favored fighters more, but my mage still usually got a…
  • Maybe some sort of random reset timer so person clearing the first two waves does not know when to come back.
  • To find your body go to the actions menu and scroll down too the switch object handle tool.  You type your name in the box and that’s what will show up when you do control-shift.  Just found this last night.  A player told me how to use it a couple …
  • Liked the varying levels of difficulty in the different areas.  Players could choose where to play.  Would have liked to see a 50% increase spellbook reward.  Think one of those should usually be available.  Did not find most of the rewards particul…
  • Anyone can have an EJ account.  You just start playing.  Brand new players that have never played before, and don’t have a mentor, guild or someone else to take them under their wing usually play aimlessly for a couple hours and then go on to anothe…
  • Back in the day, some players used hang around till anyone could loot the boss and then grab as much as they could so they could unravel it for ingredients.  If you do imbuing that might not be that bad of an idea.  Don’t see this much anymore on my…
  • Used to be they hung around for a couple days or so after the event, but now only for so many hours.  Always turn in my drops a few days ahead of time now.  Never know for sure when the vendor will disappear for good.  Maybe in the future, they will…
  • Four drops per spawn sounds right.  Usually, three or four of us playing, and mostly we get just one or two each.  Think most are gone early on.  If you have magery casting earthquake early on a couple times should get you one. Personally, UO, thin…
  • Maybe pick up gold instead.  Have only looked at the boss loot a couple of times and it is just the usual stuff like last time.  Maybe, if you can do it without getting killed, check the ladies of the snow and dragons at the end.  They might have so…
  • Not sure what you are referring to but targeting in general does not work when things get busy.  Gets frustrating to see the targeting circle cycle thru everything in in the area that’s out of range while the snake six spaces away is trying to kill …
  • Think there is a healer in the Dojo on the other side of the tunnel that leads into the spur.  Did not realize the healer question had already been answered.  Fewer players doing these events on my shard every year.  Have to agree with Keven the rew…
  • Don’t know if the sculptures are capped, but playing with several other players and spending most of my time running away I still got several of them probably before the third wave started.  Was my first time and did not kill nearly as much as the o…
  • Thanks for testing was wondering about the penalty if weapon skill was higher than magery.  Best choice would be just a weapon with just spell channeling if you wanted to cast spells while using the weapon.
  • My understanding  is it will use which ever skill is highest.  If it has spell channeling, you will be able to cast spells while you are using it.  I would wonder if it would reduce your magery skill by the skill penalty reduction associated with ma…
