  • Tried morphing a garg shield over to a blank pirate - won't let me - says diff racial items. Where is soulforge on TC1 so that I can try to alter a blank pirate shield to make a garg destination shield.
  • Pawain said: TimSt said: Hook's Shield:  Love the 10% SDI and the +1 faster casting. I would change the Fire Resist to Physical Resist to counter the -10 from the Protection Spell. I would also change the Poison Resist to a +3 mana reg…
  • Petra_Fyde said: TimSt said: @ Larisa, I used a gargoyle ship because you can operate two cannons at the same time if you are soloing. Why stop at 2? Charge them all and fire a broadside!  (start charging on each cannon, it will ke…
  • I blew 50 bucks couple years back to buy the wedding set from UO store just to get 2 "Top Hats" for a Steampunk look Only good for pimping around town before morph potion. Now I will have to  decide what headgear to use to morph them! I also like t…
  • Pawain said: McDougle said: Maybe @ Kyronix meant in the morning It says Mid March, I would be surprised if things are on TC this or next week. You will need points to get items from the black market.  Unless they put the items on…
  • I would love to have your help! If you need anything there let me know, I'll help where I can! Thanks for the offer Larisa - I use 2 computers when on a ship - a Tamer with a Magery Mastery pet that can jump aboard opposing ships and one a arch…
  • Larisa said: Because people know Origin is where it's at! IDOC's will bring people from all over...IDOC Guy was at the Luna IDOC just a few minutes ago as were a lot of others from other shards...but there ARE many returning players on Origi…
  • Shame about mid-march, I was getting hyped up for March 1st. Being marooned at home during this pandemic, UO is a welcome diversion from reality.
  • "The Pirates Life may not fit into those but I bet the other three will." I'm hoping it will be a repeat of the Rising Tides event  - with new rewards at the BUCs Pirate -  so I'm out collecting cargo again!
  • ZekeTerra said: @ Xris if you had negative karma the black one is impossible to see in your packpack, at least in EC.  I don't recall seeing a message when I received the gift and even the most talented thief can't steal it b4 it gets in your…
  • What Drakelord said: If you have multi accounts you can take this part again.  Also this quest is on every shard and they are not shard bound. I gathered 20+ on the low pop shards that I had xfer shields for, using throwaway chars with negative karm…
  • I've been 'beachcombing" the CotD every since it was created ( I own the Legends Abyss house). A bag or giftbox with anything in it cannot spawn in there. Sometimes the boxes (400 points) or candy canes (2500 points) appear but mostly it is just the…
  • I got 3 dark ones and one positive karma Cupids I like the negative ones better, the postive karma one looks too "cartoonish"
  • I have 4 tamer/mystics and 1 tamer/mage. One the mystics I find Stone Form very helpful and love being able to heal and cure and remove curse with a single spell - Cleansing Winds.  The tamer mage I use with Mage Mastery pet for pirates and blunderb…
  • The pump one looks cool but not for 400 SOVs - but I do have a barnyard diorama but alas a well is already included in that set.  Thank you for sharing the PICs Larisa!
  • I sacked 4 merchantmen (Queen's Customs agent here) and discovered tons of contraband in illegal ingots, exotic woods, and hides from endangered species - all of course was confiscated in the name of the Crown! Then I sunk a beacon and scuttled a pi…
  • Pawain said: An island with Mobs sounds fun to me. I'd rather not have to repair my ship every 10 minutes in battles. Also would be happy if there are new rewards at the Pirate. Ditto! I'm starting to "bank" my cargo points again in a…
  • Max_Blackoak said: I'd love a spawn island!!! I'd also love to see npc ships finally using their cannons again instead of simply letting people scuttle them without any risk or skill involved. Where do find the npc ships? I've seen one i…
  • When I saw the name of the March event, I pulled my ship my out of drydock and went hunting yesterday in Tokuno waters. I recall Kyronix mentioning that the Bucs Pirate would be getting new rewards sometime in the future so I am stockpiling cargos a…
  • Radst - what shard are you on?
  • I dug out my Sorc Dungeon mage book rewards - alas, I have a Flame Slayer +25 damage SB but no Ice Slayer  
  • CovenantX said: If none of those deco items have any functionality, these rewards are lacking quite a lot compared to the ones we had about a month ago with "the Three" event in deceit. The spellbook 'looks' good, but it's useless in pvp &am…
  • Pawain said: Mark your runes in Ice Dungeon for another dynamic Dungeon Spawn! https://uo.com/2020/12/07/tears-of-the-ice-dragon/ It is narrow halls so yes! Melee toons will be able to kill more per time.  But, those paragon Arctic Ogre Lor…
  • She was detained for spreading rumors about the Emperor had no new clothes...
  • Just checked Sonoma - they fixed it
  • I checked every shard i had a shield for, character is still AWOL.  GM was prompt response and now waiting on them to investigate...
  • keven2002 said: Maximus_Neximus said: I miss getting things like soulstone fragments, heritage tokens, and similar stuff.  Agreed! Even if they did holiday clothes or red/green armor (no stats just for show) that we could wear and the…
  • I have halted character transfers pending token activation because of the 30 day age requirement to receive a token. It would be nice to receive holiday decor weeks before Xmas.
  • "The stable at the camp just through the tunnel has a nice handy stable for switching pets..." Thank you Petra for reminding me about gypsy corral! I was recalling to Luna stable for pet switch.
  • Great event! Glad it's over though, my greed for the great rewards made me spend far too much real time in Deceit
