  • I certainly wouldn’t have the pet statue count as a stable slot.  I suggested the statuette would be account bound, not shard or character bound.  No, I wouldn’t think Pet Vendors would see them, in statue form they are an account bound decoration. …
  • McDougle said: As long as it's a one way deal  I’m assuming you mean the statuette would not be convertible back into a pet?  As long as there is at least some amount of cost and effort into getting the statuette, I’m not sure I see the do…

  • Along the river under the Terathan keep.  Several spots that are accessible.
  • AtomicBetty said: reapers casting is a good thing I had no idea they didn't.  they used to be best way to 120 resist pre aos Except they changed which spells have a resist check ages ago.  All the flamestrikes and ebolts in the game won’t …
  • keven2002 said: Interesting, I've seen 6 totems worth of rabbits now and have seen 0 being "pulled" from off screen. I've also seen very few colored rabbits spawn a screen away from the totem... maybe 2-3 per totem but I chalked that up to RN…
  • keven2002 said: Merus said: It’s good for a least a couple screens I think. I do not think this is correct. I believe it is on screen only. I have seen it pull bunnies from at least 1 screen (offscreen) away.  I also tested placi…
  • It’s good for a least a couple screens I think.
  • No takers?  Anyone have a white or orange jack rabbit?
  • Can we confirm if certain hues are limited by rabbit or Jack Rabbit?  I’ve been farming Jack Rabbits pretty exclusively and have yet to see white or orange.  Obviously could be RNG, but would be nice to know if I need to switch it up for those last …
  • In about 4 hours of playing I have done the spawn twice (small group less than 8), I have turned in about 150 eggs and kept 4 rare colored ones, and I have 3 of the bright pink bunnies.
  • Or you can fizzle the spell after it’s cast if you’re paralyzed and try to target the rune or runebook.

  • Maybe fairy dragons?
  • I think it would be cool to have a pet with archery, similar to the Centaurs in despise.  Though it would probably require a new pet command so you could tell them were to stand but still attack. This would have PvP implications so definitely need …
  • Violet said: Allowing Gift of Life or Gem of Salvation to function the same way as Sacrifice would diminish the value of the Virtue and the work it takes to level and maintain it.   Gift of Life has multiple ways it can be used successfully.…
  • I don’t know the list of critters it works on, but I do believe it is limited to naturally spawning ones… for example you can use it on a spawned skeletal dragon but not on an animated skeletal dragon.
  • Command undead is a “spell” that works similar to taming… cast the spell and target the undead critter you wish to command.  Like taming sometimes it succeeds and the critter will obey and sometimes it fails and you get attacked. Unfortunately it i…
  • One of the rare occasions where I agree with popps….  There can be reasonable debate as to whether the self-res functionality should allow movement or not, but as I see it all 3 should function the same.  There are several instances in UO were we ha…
  • There was a thread in the bugs forum about a house not refreshing after an account reactivation. Possibly they identified an issue and turned off closed account decay to get it fixed?

  • I don’t remember a skull when the candles are active? I use the red and white candles on mine.

  • I love the swords on my bards! As for night sight, I think there are likely enough other alternatives (jewelry, earrings, boots, cloaks, scrolls, and potions) that developers time is better spent elsewhere.
  • Dixie is absolutely right on why Vet rewards get deleted… the team was too lazy or incompetent to fix them correctly.  The idea that other players aren’t entitled to other accounts vet rewards is complete BS since the vast majority of vet rewards ar…

  • I would like to see an ancient hellhound pet trainable with all magic that has native life leech instead of healing to start.  Damage could be split cold/poison.
  • Unless it also has very high (50) SDI, I’m just not sure it would be the book of choice for WoD.
  • I can tell you the healing from the mastery is counted towards some pack drops.  At least two that I have confirmed personally are Exodus drops and power scrolls doing champ spawns. While I can’t speak to the behind the scenes mechanics for EM even…
