The issue is that they don't drop to 1-slot pets from release and retame anymore, as a result of the changes to stop exploiting of the pets. After release and retame, you can still train them to max GM the old way, without doing the "Advanced Traini…

Mervyn, given that months ago you swore on Stratics that you were leaving UO and not coming back - and have kept posting here and there, you're one to talk about deceit and making excuses for it. you're not capable of "white" lies.

Your chance to get a skill gain from crafting depends on your chance of success cross-checked with your skill cap for the skill. Skills that don't go over 100, you can't gain after you hit 100% success on the crafted item. Skills that have powerscr…

It's been this way since the changes to the gold system. This really needs changed, as it affects new and returning players who do not know about the changes. The ONLY thing currently that loose coin in the backpack can be used for is buying up ski…

Obuw said: Dizzy said: I run 0 mining and finding the chests isn't difficult with practice. I usually find it in 2-3 digs and very often on the first dig. What? How? I have 100 mining, use UOAM for assistance, and still usually ha…

Reforging is what requires base materials. But you don't want to imbue colored material items because the material bonuses count against total intensity. Also, that garg earrings don't get material bonuses has been an issue going back to the laun…

The CC color changes are reversed. My beetle was inflicting yellow and taking red damage earlier, not the other way around as the patch notes indicate.
-
The colors are wrong on pet damage in CC. My pet is currently receiving red, and inflicting yellow. Initially it scared the hell out of my because it seemed like he was getting hit for 100+ a pop, while somehow appearing to be doing multiple tiny at…
-
Gotta bug here: The classic client text hue for damage that pets receive is now yellow instead of red.My beetle was DOING Yellow and RECEIVING Red earlier.

With the new Global Chat - have the Global chat stay where you move it to on each character, instead of it defaulting to back under the other bar on the top-left every time you log in (and having the names pushed off-screen when you do open it up)
-
At one time, wasn't there talk from one of the (long-gone) devs for having LRC and LMC affect scroll or potion creation in a weaker sort (essentially, subtract the cap from the total, and what's left actually effects the crafting)? Now, the LRC id…

Bilbo said: You should have been here when we were on 56K dial-ups you were lucky to get it done so you could play that day. Mostly we started and went to bed so we could play the next day. You mean like it was when I started playing? I d…

On the Carpentry "Elven Weapons": Are you sure it works? I thought it was broken like the Fletching Elven Longbow and Magical Shortbow larges, where the base items can be exceptional and colored woods, while none of the gem-requiring smalls could …

D'oh!!!! I figured it out - I was on the wrong character... But, another of my characters (the one I was on mistakenly) can't seem to start it. Or, does it need to be started from the Cryer? The people I was doing it with were INSISTENT they had s…

@Kyronix So what is the reward at the end of Wrong? I've still not gotten anything from it, and it hasn't seemed to "fix" for me yet (guard outside tells me he has nothing for me, no way to repeat). I completed the quest last weekend. Similarly…
-
Speaking of teleports and the Shadowguard, I would like to mention to @Kyronix a bug I experienced once there. As you know, some bosses teleport you to them. Also, when a boss dies, the next boss starts on the platform with Minax and walks off. I …

After the posted "fix" to the town cryer quests. The quest NPC still tells me they can't offer it to me again. I realize now that I was checking on the wrong character, and got the title reward - but one of my other characters doesn't appear to eve…
-
Note: if the reward was to just be the book, and the knowledge of the chests down there - the red humans down there loot, and that's what happened to a couple of us. Another of us got the book while exiting the dungeon before ever making it down the…

Bless' Strength is based on your Eval Int - so with 0 eval, Bless fizzles as it has 0 % bonuses and possibly 0 duration as well. Not a bug

Apparently the goblins drop the common gears as well, but so far only got them in the underworld, not the mini-champs in the Abyss proper. (the reknowned bosses have rare gears, and apparently only rares). Appears to be both gray and green types.

Question: Are you saying the animals in the cavern of the discarded have the Stygian Abyss music box gears as loot, or are you going off a tangent? And, aren't the ratmen down there supposed to be aggro? I was just down there, and all of the clans …

After another couple hours of tests: 88 Leather Wolves (only 33 were the "original"/red, with the other 55 being ones called in/grey) 6 more Harpsichord scrolls, which occurred on both the reds and greys2 music gears, that only occurred on the reds…
-
Betrayers and Juggernauts only drop the OLD gears. I'm specifically asking about the SA gears only. And, the numbers of Betrayers, Juggernauts and Golems are tiny compared to in the past, with the destruction of the faux Blackthorn's keep (having m…

Cleansing Winds is almost worth it by itself. It's better than GH, combined with Cure and Remove curse, all in one spell. Here's another trick to consider for the Mystic part of the template. Low end mage scrolls can be used by anyone, with a chanc…

I can just post my experiences. When I've had -0 mage weapons equipped, mobs beat the ever loving crap out of me, and the game would decide I swung back at the worst possible time for my casting an invis. I have equip item on my hotbar too - I usua…

Throwing, no. It fits a specific niche. Though, I would like to see a way to take human/elf jewelry that spawns with Throwing and replace the Throwing without having to imbue the change (Which often isn't possible due to item weight alone). I would…

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. I kept getting paralyzed, cursed, and the like - just as much, with no apprecia…

Here's how I do mine 1. Dedicated Tailor/Smith/Miner/Arms Lore at 120/120/100/100 (rest of skills plus gear optimizing for combat, to allow collection of leather and mining with Gargoyle Pickaxes) 2. Inscription on a caster (its non-crafting eleme…

Tailoring, especially, needs some love in this regard. You can only buy it up to between 30-33.3 (varies by shard and location), and as Rock notes, it should be easy to rectify. I personally feel that the person who designed New Haven initially st…
