  • North_LS said: i'd drop focus down to 100 and put the 10 points elsewhere - focus only increases mana regeneration in multiples of 20. Focus also serves as the modifier for Mystic (like eval for magery)
  • Mervyn said: You can't recall/gate/sacred journey into an active VvV town, so surely you shouldn't be able to recall OUT too?? I believe the restriction was put in place to keep non-pvpers from accidentally entering an active town... not …
  • TimSt said: Good to know about max luck and max SDI.  What changes if I skip the luck and go for SDI?  If it matters I do count rings and bracelets as part of the suit.  I have a Legendary tailor and blacksmith and a GM tinker so crafting is …
  • TimSt said: I am new to imbuing and would like to eventually imbue a kick ass suit for my mage.  The goal is to have max luck, max spell damage increase, max lower mana cost, max mana regeneration, max mana increase, max faster cast recovery,…
  • A lot has to do with the rest of the suit as well.  For instance, my sampire has slayer cameo's and enough SSI through jewelry and Stamina that I don't need any slayer or swing speed on my weapons.  
  • EJ accounts can't be limited, hence limiting the number of characters per EJ account beyond a normal account is just dumb logic.
  • Eye said: Many Harrowers have been abandoned because of inaccessible testicles... tentacles... Stupid auto incorrect Best quote of these forums so far!
  • I have the same issue on all my tamers across all shards that I play, including brand new tamers that I have created from scratch in the last 30 days.
  • I can't really speak for EC, but I have not found any place that the lore gump does not block the skill timer in CC.  I tested multiple lores in the luna stable and was blocked.  I also tried hiding at the luna bank and was blocked.  Also tested bot…
  • Lady_Storm said: Your not seeing the bigger picture.Many can live out of a bank box their entire play time in UO.. I know this one guy who for over 20 years has never over stuffed his bank and has no desire for a house...EJ he said would be p…
  • Lady_Storm said: Merus  Not giving a bank box might sound mean but I look at the potential of it killing UO. Too many have wanted UO to go F2P that this is their idea of a good push to it... There is no way in hell that the in game store will…
  • Sorry, but the idea that an EJ player should have to carry around (and risk losing to death) every single item they ever collect in UO is blatantly absurd.  Give them the regular bank box (125 items) with the option to purchase the storage increase …
  • The_Higgs_1 said: Also investing 100 points with todays loot is not a penalty considering you have a whole extra 120 skill on your template from just your suit. No matter how many suit points you can get, anatomy is still 100 points that …

  • The_Higgs_1 said: The problem with parry mages is wrestle/anatomy in conjunction with parry.  This is what needs to be nerfed down to like 35% block chance, right now its 66% block chance.  The reason this needs to be changed is that template…

  • Mystic Mage (gargoyle)
  • Just another example of ridiculous restrictions to try and deter scripters that ultimately only help them. It would have made so much more sense to just make it like the clean up points.  Let people horde points instead of BODS.  Let people store t…
  • This guild name is only acceptable if your characters name is Oliver Klawsoff 
  • Not being able to honor bosses is a pretty big con to me.
  • I would swap Imbuing for Focus and Wrestling for Spellweaving.  Wear a good MR and high SDI suit.  I would only use a mage weapon when there is significant spawn that is giving you issues, otherwise I would be holding a slayer / SDI spellbook.
  • Resource tiles (ore, wood, and fish) should be account bound for collection purposes (think reward clickies that are 1 per account) and reset at server up.  Veins would go back to being static and the average player could mark runes and collect the …

  • The real rub is that if they can create a tool to allow custom castle designs... why not just put the tool on production and call it good.  Some will make big ugly cubes and some will make amazing structures... such is everything else in UO.
  • PureLife said: Cookie said: His whole build has been about skill-points, LRC, and nothing else. …
  • A character with cartography can put the map in a Davies Locker and see the coordinates of the map which pretty much eliminates the need for mining at all.
  • Maybe better to just bring the item cap down to a reasonable place.  720 real / 780 modified?  60 skill points is pretty accessible to most players via imbuing or attainable through one uber jewelry piece.
  • It’s a toss up for me... Fel/Tram Split or Itemization of Properties 
  • Adding my two cents here: I see nothing wrong with leaving power scroll just as they are (used for players and pets and exclusively in Fel). I think the OP comments really speak to the desire to be able to reset pets.  One school of thought would …

  • Yeah... trying to sell the idea to a friend to pay $10 a month for a game that is 20 years old was kind of a hurdle... but the suggestion to buy a new laptop with windows was a lead balloon. With EJ coming and the rise in popularity of Apple produc…
  • Easiest way to implement this would be to sell “reward picks” that would be added to your account.  This would keep the “old enough to claim” restrictions in place while leaving the actual selection and generation of the reward item as it currently …
