  • That is the template I've had most success with. You will need to hit the target until a successful stealing attempt is made (or until it dies without one) My collection. If you wish I will copy my smugglers edge to test center for you to try ou…
  • My thief and my smuggler's edge user are two very different templates. My not inconsiderable collection of smuggler's lanterns were obtained with this template Anatomy GM Chivalry 70 Healing GM Parry GM Stealing 120 swordsmanship 120 tactics. 110
  • Your 'bird' pet is probably a hiryu.
  • While sampires are popular, they're not the only template you can play and have fun. On a very personal level I feel sampires are an abomination that should never have been possible, necro and chiv on the same character shouldn't work.  I don't have…
  • from 2 slot to 3 slot, I use ladies of the snow. The pet can survive, if you look after it, and don't get targeted yourself. 
  • Are you concerned about skill training? or training to 100% prior to taking the pet up in slots? For the initial stages of the new animal training I have had good gains from Ladies of the Snow, though it's a good idea to invis as one dies so that yo…
  • So how would you do it? Catch him on the spot - he logs in, spiels and logs out, young char, no time out. Gone in seconds, and can have a new [young] several times per day. Block his ip address - vpn block his web address - someone suggested that so…
  • I'm not sure, not something I've ever timed. I've only had a chest disappear once, and the reason was that I'd switched characters to my tamer to try to tame a frost dragon. Darn thing didn't want to be tamed and took ages! When I finally got it and…
  • Interesting question. I experimented. It's possible to make a basic keg in oak and dye the keg and lid with white plant dye, but once you use tinkering on it to turn it into a potion keg, the colour is lost Best you can do is set the furniture tub t…
  • As far as I remember from the original discussions when we voted for it, and my memory isn't terribly clear I admit, UO on steam wouldn't affect us long time players at all. We'd still log in as we do now. It would be an alternative way to access th…
  • Cetric said: What if you roleplay a murderer but you did a shrine battle.  This sucks! Then you're a deceitful murderer trying to convince people you are virtuous by displaying that title? I think it fits into the roleplay scenario qui…
  • Someone in our alliance had a shrine title and a krampus title, in addition to the usual guild etc titles. We persuaded her to turn off all the older ones, so now under her name it says 'The Just Naughty'
  • Very few people actually do that quest, most just ask a friendly bard to get the book for them. It only gives a tier 1 primer, and those aren't really all that helpful.
  • He's done the battles, he's got a tabard. He just didn't look far enough for the captains. They were way up at the Minoc instance at the top end when he looked, but I killed the lighthouse there after my earlier post, so now they're down in the moon…
  • Are there really bots that do captains? I know they did the lower spawn, till there were measures put in place to stop them, that's why I used to hunt in Fel. But I've never seen any at the captains. Are they real, or are the a figment of the imagin…
  • @popps.  I have played this game without a break since October 2000. My characters own precisely ZERO cameos.  I don't need them. New players don't need them. Going on about how much you think new players need to 'compete' will only put them off. U…
  • Creatures affected by the totem are: Snow Leopard, Frost Spider, Nightmare, White Wyrm, Giant Toad, Stygian Drake
  • I did 5 captains and got 6 drops with my paladin archer, so there is a slight element of randomness to it - but with no need to clear spawn to turn them red, surely while drops per captain might be less, the ratio of drops:time taken will be roughly…
  • Praha I can give you the coins, and show you how to use them. Only the captains are still there, all the lesser spawn has gone.  I'll call out in general chat when I get in game later today. (Bernice Kayke)
  • Most people prefer to play where their 'ping' is lowest. You'll still find an active population on Europa for example.  Some people prefer the tighter community of lower populated shards. I have no interest in playing on Atlantic. I am far from alon…
  • Yes, I worked it out thanks, I was on the wrong facet. I have previously done all my blackthorn dungeon hunting in Fel, where it wasn't camped. Fel captains are still yellow with surrounding spawn.
  • What do you mean, exactly, by the captains not having any spawn around them?  On Europa, at least, the captains are exactly as normal, yellow until you defeat the surrounding spawn.  I gave up on the idea of building my submitted minax artifact tota…
  • I'd love something like this. Incidentally, anyone who has regularly used the serpent's pillars would know that you arrive at a random location within a few screens of the beacon in any direction, and not at the beacon itself.
  • Here is how I avoid this situation - my time being less valuable than developer's development time. 1. Never take a run if you have reason to think you won't have time to complete it 2. Watch general chat for others telling what's spawning, encourag…
  • Other countries have not missed out on any sales that the US have had. Since there were no real sales on the Origin site. Actually, they have. More than once EA have had sales of UO items that were USA only, or once, if memory serves, USA an…
  • It depends on what character I'm using. My tamer uses Skara because of the proximity of the stable, my fisher uses Vesper because of the proximity of the mage shop for selling scrolls from mib chests. My cook uses WBB, because she's mostly taking th…
  • That's strange. Those cakes have always required you to have very few things in your pack to use them, but I made a cake only last night and removed slices from it to put into the hamper that I occasionally take to our Europa bank meet.
  • It's a lot less hard now than when I, and a lot of other vets, trained it. Are today's players so much less capable than we were that they have to 'skill up' without bothering to train skills?  Does no one realise that while you are training a skil…
  • popps said: TimSt said: @ popps The trade minster campers wait at the trade minister while other people are doing the trade runs that spawn Krampas then they swoop in without having to put the effort in to do the trade runs.  Think of…
  • The beauty of UO is it has something for just about everyone. If you don't find bods fun, don't do them. There are plenty of other things to do in game.
