It looks like the problem is with the boomerang itself. No matter the distance, I could never get it past its rated 11-15, and it still was usually 9-11. A store-bought cyclone, OTOH, behaved much more as expected. Its rated damage is 13-17, and …

@North_LS, Sounds like a good reason to keep your gatherer as is. I've heard you only need 0.1 in a craft skill to enable BODs in that craft. I kinda wish they were scaled to one's level, but as far as I can tell, they seem of random difficulty re…

@Mariah, thank you for the link. Is there a good way to judge one's tile distance from a foe? Disco doesn't have a set distance. He will approach close enough to Discord, which does not aggro them. Then he will double click the foe to cause the a…

@Zero, what a weird situation. You buy the latest version, and it didn't include Stygian Abyss?? For an add-on pack like High Seas, that is understandable. It must have been designed as an add-on pack, but I had thought it was marketed as "the lat…

Update: No change after raising STR to 40. I did actually see one hit do 15 (on an 11-15 weapon), but by the same token I saw an 8, which I don't remember seeing before. Most hits were from 9-11 damage. This is with Anatomy at 54.6, Tactics at 53.3…

@North_LS, Thank you for the input. Why do you repeat at least GM Blacksmithy and Tailoring on both mules? Would it be advantageous to move Carpentry from Mule1 to Mule2 and move Mining from Gatherer to Mule1? You could then have Mule2 keep whatever…

@Feigr, sorry if I was annoying you. I only have a limited period to focus on the game, so I am trying lots of things and learn as much as I can in that time. I made the Mystic Samurai on TC1, and he is an elf as you (sort of) suggested. I didn't …

@Sable, yes Ortlem's stock on Origin has been consistent; I have checked multiple times in the past week. Since his Catskills' version stocks 500 of every one of the first 8 spell scrolls, I doubt the Origin one is just running out. @Petra_Fyde, I…

This is a nice tutorial. It surprised me at first that you weren't talking, but as I continued to watch it became clear you did not need to. Thank you. It was also cool that you spot-lighted Jhelom. It used to be my favorite city, and where all my…

@Max_Blackoak, Enchant is a really nice spell even with Mysticism still mid-range; he already receives the hit spell benefit. When his skill reaches 80, then it becomes even better. It will grant a temporary spell channeling property to any weapon…
-
Thank you for the research and info, @Arroth_Thaiel. My guy is past the hump now. Skill level necessary? 45.1 !! I guess that is like when a mage book tells you that 38 magery is minimum level to cast Incognito. Not quite; at 38.0 you still have…
-
Good points all. Add in Inscription, Alchemy, and Cooking, and it is clear one character cannot do it all. (Should Poisoning be considered a craft skill? While it increases poison effectiveness for both magic and weapons fighters, it's original u…
-
@The_Higgs_1, Cool. His ideal bow would have the spell channeling and balanced properties. In a perfect world, it would have FC as well, to counteract the -1 FC which accompanies spell channeling.
-
@Aroth_Thaiel, I'm blind. For some reason my eyes thought your "1.0" was "10". I decided not to push things, and went with 1.4. So with a 2.8 second cycle, it will be like losing one bow shot.
-
@Arroth_Thaiel, Thank you! The macro worked as shown. It had not occurred to me to "target self" on the stone. As far as I know, it only works on self. The macro need not be re-edited upon creation of a new healing stone. If that were necessary, …
-
I think the shards should be kept separate. If I happen to launch a new first character on a shard, I want him to be starting from scratch. To have millions in the bank on day 1 would be silly. Within the same shard, it is different. Your charac…
-
Dizzy, thank you for the clear explanation. I did not even know one could create two characters on the same shard with the same name. Pawain, I don't "know", but I'm reasonably sure she made the same sort of mistake I sometimes do. Both Polymorph…
-
Pawain, I knew what she meant. It is likely years since she was using Incognito as a 5th level training spell. At any rate, there is a repeatable bug, at least with the enhanced client. cast Incognito. Note your temporary name.log out.begin relog…
-
Yes, it is likely she had cast Incognito. We must have posted at same time.
-
??? After logging out to check another character, her name is back to Wiz Writer. After relogging her in, the GUI is back set up the way I originally left it, with the hotbars filled in with appropriate spells and actions. I see that the Incognito …

Thank you for link and confirmation, Mariah. I understand that there would be complexities in supporting New Haven accelerated gain quests for taming and barding professions. But for Tailoring and Carpentry, there is likely already infrastructure i…
-
Since posting this, I have learned that: * 120 Eval + 100 Anatomy = defenses of Wrestling at 120 The sum of both must be at least 220 before this capability comes into effect. Thus the mage/scribe would have 40 points to work with, not 20. Putti…

Orion, from what I've seen in the two weeks I've been back, Atlantic will be your best bet for finding community. Guild recruiters hang out a lot of the time near the New Haven bank, and there seems to be a lot of folks at the Luna bank and stables.…

Personally I don't have a problem with it at all. Perhaps the guild founder is a fan of Alice in Wonderland, published 1865. See the bottom of first paragraph in Wiki's Synopsis.
-
Deraj, thank you. It occurs to me that archers and throwers don't need Parry. They could maintain a magicless build, but replace that skill with Focus. True, it would no longer be a manaless build, but he'd have a steady supply of power for specia…
-
Bilbo, heh, Edifice is a Gargoyle, and the imbuing bonus is one reason he was building the skill. The character picking it up, Taylor Smythe, is, unfortunately, human. I realized this issue, but it was peripheral to my main question and didn't menti…
-
Thanks, guys. I have decided to forego the 64-odd points Edifice had in imbuing, and build Focus to 120. Another of my guys on this shard is a tailer/smith, and Imbuing will be more convenient on him anyway. However, I'm still undecided on the issu…

Jade, you do understand that UO is an MMORPG, right? RPG standing for "role playing game". You have the opportunity to be a murderer. Hurray! However, expect consequences. And if you are not a murderer but only like to play PvP with your best fr…
