Jepeth said: using provoke I could move my RC towards the direction I want it to go. Have you tried? I regularly use provoke to direct EVs onto the creature I want them to attack. My 4 x 120 bard can quite happily do mini champs in the…

Use the terain when you can. There are ledges and stair walls you can teleport on to that will allow you to heal your pet yet be out of melee reach of the paragon. Jump up and invis to break targeting. It's a lot easier to heal through a paragon's …

Merus said: Kyronix said: Paragons will award more points than other creatures. These points are then used to calculate your drop chance upon each kill. So they have built-in benefit to killing them. I guess the real question is: …

Having noticed that I seemed to get a drop very soon after killing a paragon, I guessed that might be the case, but was reluctant to say so without any proof.

@popps I really don't understand where you're coming from. The very first character I made, back in 2000 was the one whose name I use for forums, Petra Fyde. She was, and is, a sword swinging warrior. I've not played her much recently, finding my ta…

Why are the prices so high? Sheer unadulterated greed. I saw a need for affordable slayer weapons for new and returning players. I started a vendor. I made only the slayers that I could easily farm the main resource for; repond, undead, arachnid, …

If this event is extended, when are you going to find the time to play the next one? I found my warrior is the best template for this event, and am loving playing her as she isn't the best template in most other situations, not being a sampire. She…

Good luck with that. What will you do when your bards get targeted by a paragon lich lord, ram or poison ele? Also, you can't have 2 bards running the same mastery, only one will have an effect.

I've been using a 5 slot unicorn, because it can't be poisoned. However my own survivability mostly depends on me being able to reach certain ledges that I can teleport on to. These allow me to vet the pet while not being in melee reach of the parag…

AtlanticRealtor said: @ Petra_Fyde and @ Kyronix The new epaulettes can not be placed on vendors or auction safes. Sorry, when thinking of vendors I didn't take into account the price some people think the things are worth. It's all go…
-
Why can't you put them on vendors? It's account bound items that can't go on vendors, not shard bound. I'd say you are more able to put them on vendors, knowing that the items will sell to genuine players on your shard who need them, not carted off…

You should not expect one character type to fit all events. This is not an event for a stealther. I have a bard, I love playing her, but there are places I know she's not the character to take. Creatures that can't be barded, Travesty who would use …

Shard bound so that all the shard's items can't get carted off to Atlantic where most shard players can't get them Origin is West coast. At the time of your picture it was 3.44pm Atlantic, 12.44am Origin. Take into account time difference as well as…

Have any of you pontificating about templates actually tried this spawn? It's not friendly to ANY template. Sampires are dying, mages are dying, tamers and pets are dying. NO ONE is going to solo this one. Yes, it's one main drop per account, but …

Batlin's inner voice, talisman. HPR 2 SR3 MR2 DCI 10 resist 10 (mine is physical resist but I believe that's random) Very difficult to use slayers. First wave orcs, second gargoyles & ogre lords, 3rd stone elemental & fire elemental (renown…

new content? Well, there's the stuff that's listed in the newsletter, just starting with the Black Gate. Personally I'm so immersed in playing existing content, there's so much of it, that I have trouble finding time for the new stuff. Why would any…

Victim_Of_Siege said: I think I am starting to get the idea of this shard. It appears to be totally for new players to build their characters without having to also figure out how to buy the things they need since they don't have the deep poc…
-
IF I've understood right (and I admit it's a big IF) This shard will give newer players a way to build a viable character, and a year to do it, without the difficulties they currently face on normal shards. Hard to get gear, out of control economy e…

I do the same as @Dino I have magery rather than ninjitsu on my thief. I find I can work very efficiently in Exodus that way, and I can use Earth elementals for running interference when I steal from monsters for balms and lotions. The description …

TimSt said: I really could use jewels with cooking or carpentry on them. I waste a lot of raw fish steaks making sushi platters. Or equivalents to the +30/+60 Ancient Hammers that you get from the Blacksmith BOD reward. A +60 Ancient Frying …

UO has always been a game of checks, balances and choices. Cookie's template, being reliant on those items, means he has had to make sacrifices elsewhere. As an example, my thief, who does not rely on items, has a high amount of HPR, so that I can a…

When I trained my cu sidhe I trained healing to cap before I added chiv, knowing there would be a problem. However after it died a few times and I was unable to recover the lost points I was advised that in addition to getting it disco'd I would nee…

My thief has Hiding, stealth, stealing, snooping, lockpick detect hidden and magery. She doesn't have ninjitsu and she doesn't have remove trap. She doesn't do pvp, although she has a couple of times joined VvV to steal sigils. Mostly I use her to s…

The books are, in fact, useful to those fishers that are new to the quests. My preference would be that they be removed from the loot table when the fisherman progressed from orders requiring 10 of each fish to orders requiring 15 of each fish.

@popps Weapons is where crafting really comes into the mix. All my fighting characters carry crafted weapons. What do I do with loot weapons? I unravel them to provide the resources I need to imbue the weapons I want. Unravelling is the only source …

While I can't offer any insight to the pet ball problem, I do have a different solution to the pet in a throng situation, when it's a mount. I pre-cast invis, run next to the pet and drop the invis on myself, then mount the pet. You can then run ou…

@Tarragon_Slayer At first I found your comments a little confusing, I don't have the things you are describing in my keep. But then I realised @Pawain does. My Europa keep has changed a little since I posted last. As with all things, they evolve. …

Interesting you should pick that particular example. Singing axe is a very useful item for a carpenter who wants to make instruments, especially for a carpenter on Siege. Those minor arties can be imbued, I have crafted and imbued silver etched mac…

Trismegistos said: Norry said: Yeah, instead of lowering drop rates, why not force the skill to be used. If there is a character hidden, monsters will slowly stop spawning in that section, but will spawn 20 to 40 tiles further away.Its…

Something I learned playing in Ilshenar, and only remembered when I'd died a few times in Deceit. Don't run past paragons, teleport instead. My pet and I have managed to kill a few paragon lich lords, poison eles and rams since I remembered this lit…
