How unfocused can a focused build get? Consider Sludge. His goal template is: 120: Archery, Fencing, Necromancy, Tactics 100: Spirit Speak, Poisoning 40: Meditation He has 3 means of poisoning a foe (melee, ranged, and a %chance with Poison Strike…

The one time I put in a request, I didn't get a reply until a couple days later. I was on a different character. But he did solve the problem.

In the EC you don't actually need a macro. Simply drag bandaids to a hotbar slot, then use that slot's menu to select Target --> Self .

Different skills seem to have different gain curves. Focus and Meditate, while not linear, don't seem to have any drastic braking on their gain as they approach 100. The same goes for Resist Spells, which you can get to 100 in about 3 hours, letti…

Presumably you are speaking of Chivalry's tithing as well. (The reagent is gold.) I could live with a 50% LRC cap on both. It seems especially important that tithing should not be completely avoided. Where is the honor in not paying what you owe?…

"Rockarai baby, on the tree top" ... @The_Higgs_1, I really like Mysticism and my mystics use Stone Form often. A hunting buddy can't understand why my mystic is in Stone Form so often. I can't believe I haven't thought to create a necro mystic. …

@The_Higgs_1, Ninjitsu's dog form is great. I even posted about it recently. Its HPR scales from 15 at 40 skill to 35 at 100, so you don't even need to be a legendary ninja for it to be that high. It doesn't get any higher above 100 Ninjitsu thoug…

Thank you, @Mariah. I compared revisions on the Necromancy page. This capability has been properly documented there since April 2015. But who reads the manual?

Mervyn said: This is probably working as intended. However the ingame book description needs to be updated if so. @Mervyn, I agree. That description is probably the main reason people think Horrific Beasts cannot cast. I've thought …
-
@Slayvite and @Garth_Grey, casting by Horrific Beast is not a new thing or a bug. As far as I know the capability is as old as Necromancy itself. Broadsword definitely knows about it. I think it was @Mariah that let me know about this in another …

Mervyn said: Ninjutsu and Bushido are not overhead casters, they’re more like books of special moves. @Mervyn, basically I agree. I'll note however that the health recovery from Bushido's Confidence stance and all of Ninjitsu's animal form…

Mervyn said: I agree with the op on making these occasionaly drop a scroll. ... And why oh why oh why do we not need reagents to cast spellweaving spells? Did they just forget to add the requirement? Considering that most experienced ma…

@Khyro, cool. Now the numbers make more sense. So if you are a Necromancer with Horrific Beast form or a Ninja with dog/cat form, you don't want to bother with HPR on armor or weapons.
-
Cool. Note that if you want to try archery, you can go to New Haven and get it to 50 very quickly. You can buy it to 40 from the Archery Instructor located in the warrior's fort. He can also give you a quest in the nearby area called Old Haven (l…

@Garth_Grey, thank you. I guess these will go on the same bookshelf I plan to store the Khaldun books in.

You are welcome, @Bram. I hope others chime in too. I'm a returnee myself but have been back for a couple months. Still, there are a lot of things I do not know yet. Concerning Resist Magic, it no longer has any effect on damage spells except for…

Howdy, @Bram, welcome back! I'm not very familiar with PvP so the following info is from point of view of a PvM player. There are currently three kinds of PvP:criminal PvP on the Felucca facetPvP among guildmates, any facet (friendly and often used…

@sibble, Interesting template. You may have made a mistake transposing the numbers, because they sum to 740, not 720. Is one of the 120s supposed to be 100? Would this be a human character, so that he could have 20 JOAT points of Parry?
-
@jaytin, Yes, it is from the EC. I can't take credit for how good it looks; all I did was craft the whole set.I'll give you credit for the hat, though:
-
@Bilbo, You misunderstood. I'm not saying that "crafted equipment is so great". My point is that it has good, reproducible qualities, and we need to recognize this in a discussion on how to improve crafting. You said, "even crappy loot is better t…

Bilbo said: @ King_Greg I never said make better but compared to what drops as loot crafters cant even come close to anything the DEVs do, even crappy loot is better than crafters gear. @Bilbo, while I agree with the sentiment that crafter…

@The_Higgs_1, thank you for responding. The example numbers were chosen just to get far away from the 120+100 in UOGuide's text. A real case, from a character I was just playing, is having 110 Eval and 90 Anatomy. Does she have 110 + 90 + 20 = 11…

I don't know who can and cannot do what at Broadsword. I do know when I had the opposite issue (linking accounts), the response was excellent and timely using support@ultimaonline.com . It probably would not hurt to email one and cc the other, exp…

I use the enhanced client and experience the same effect. It doesn't bother me though, probably because my guys don't bother hiding before logging except for those with stealth.

I agree.

Mervyn said: Wearing a shield affects throwing hit chance? I didn’t know that. This game is not as good as I thought it was. @Mervyn, think of it as a risk/reward trade off. Bladeweavers, like archers, receive melee damage a lot less. So…

Check the house's packing crate. Sometimes stuff that disappeared end up in there. If it is, perhaps the packing crate is already the "catch all box" you are suggesting.

@DJAd, I know there are lots of other ways to train melee skills. The Gothic Theme Pack is by no means a "must have", but I decided to get it and then report on one aspect of it. It also offers a chest of sending that allows your characters to sen…
