  • It's the Government (in UO) coming to get all the pets.
  • keven2002 said: I don't like the idea of statues that are a non-rideable version of ethys. If you check VS on ATL you will see some people trying to pass off llama statues for ethy llamas. Also for someone not super experienced, they might b…
  • Camping was the best skill in the game on LS during a certain EM event there nearly a decade ago.  not so useful outside of that though.  -I wonder if anyone that knew about it still plays? I remember selling 40 slithers on a couple trips to Atlanti…
  • PlayerSkillFTW said: CovenantX said: Do PP vollems have -18 taming req or just newer ones? Idk if i'd ever consider using one with my sampire, but my bard might like them... well, on the other hand they start at 2 followers, so if trai…
  • popps said: How do you keep the Vollem alive, though, without having veterinary ? I doubt that the Chivalry Close Wounds spell can be of much help... sure, if the Dexer goes first and tanks the MoB, then the Vollem would not take damage bu…
  • Macing Mastery is too good not to use tbh.  stagger will allow you to stand face-to-face even if you don't run parry.  if you keep stagger active, especially if you're also able to keep Toughness active as well. Do PP vollems have -18 taming req or…
  • Bashing for stagger on pets for use with a sampire wouldn't be worth it tbh. you'd be better off using macing yourself and just run with a beetle for rune corruption. cause if you level a pet up to add that ability, you'll need taming & lore t…
  • depends on shards, yewgate was hopping for like a 15 years with a few weeks throughout downtime especially when there were hard nerfs to pvp (pub 47), but some shards used brit, bucs (personally, I hated pvp at those gates because of the serverlines…
  • Petra_Fyde said: Interesting.  I don't have a macer, but I do make low level slayer weapons for newbies and returners. Currently I've been making war axe and black staff for macers. Am I making the wrong items?    I'd say they're good for mi…
  • Resist is mainly to prevent mana drain & mana vamp from taking all your mana, which is the leading cause of death in pvm!  -will prevent you from being paralyzed against most mobs as well. My sampires are basically the same template as in the OP…
  • dunno, I like that non-VvV cross-healers get put into stat-loss (if they die) after healing or flagging OJ by attacking. no more 'beneficial acts'.   I'd prefer for non-vvv players to not interfere for the most part.. of course there are always ways…
  • VvV flagging rules are better than factions, I think that's literally the only thing though. was it really easier for the devs to make VvV, instead of fixing the issues with factions?  I mean the issues with points essentially being duped & fact…
  • I'd drop focus for resist with LMC & Mana leech on a weapon you won't have mana issues. and yes to a better shield,  FC 1 SSI 10%  anything else is a bonus.  I generally use reforged wooden shields with 5 Hci, 25 DI & 10 SSI, then imbue Fc1 …
  • *E* (Evil's Empire)  - was the first guild I was in, a RL family guild had 3 cousins, 2 uncles and an aunt who played (none of them play now), lasted till around 2000-2001-ish.  then i had joined several guilds since then all pvp guilds. one of my c…
  • Pawain said: I can't buy Diablo 4 because I know I would spend at least 2 years on that and nothing else.    idk, Diablo 4 was quite disappointing imo...  for a game that had 2 expansions in development before the base-game was even released i…

  • "It's a TROLL", that is all... i guess the only thing that makes... any sense at all.. would be that each letter used in the search criteria is on the fencing scroll?  I haven't had that experience myself, but I haven't used VS for anything lately, …

  • Urge said: CovenantX said:   There is a bug report forum, tons of reports, some with and without enough information to easily reproduce... some have been fixed but most have not. Well, the devs say to post in the bug section. Then whe…

  • The thread will be locked by the 'usual suspects' (pretty good movie) as every thread normally is.
  • I agree with the OP mostly.... at least when it comes to 'dev bashing' it's mostly on things they should be in control of, bug fixes, cheating, repeat events (after NL, I'd expect to see different types of events),  the UO.com mainpage going down, d…
  • Pawain said: I hear UO is known for consistency.    yea, mostly on bad things though.... unfortunately, not on the good stuff.
  • skree must use 'healing stone' (mysticism) if it makes the healing sound over and over while poisoned, only the first 'use' of the stone would be a noticeable amount healed anyway.. repeat uses of healing stone, heals only a few HP (the hp bar may n…
  • resisting spells reduces the amount of stats you lose from curse (not many npc's cast curse), feeble, weakness & clumsy as well as reduces the duration of debuffs.  you become immune to paralyze (spell) from anything with equal or less eval-int …
  • not a fan of that.. I'm also not a fan of casting focus... at least not in pvp. I do feel like (and I've posted it before) Casting Focus, should spawn in increments of 5-25% (like LRC, as well as the cap 12% be increased to 100%)  But, should only w…
  • I think the only Pay-to-win item in UO (currently) would be the "Forged Metal of Artifacts", -only because there are certain items that have a 0% success chance to enhance without it.I'm sure there are varying degrees of opinion on it, especially si…
