  • @Lord_Nythrax What is "K10R"?  All I saw from a net search was model numbers and virus names.
  • (To avoid derailing this discussion, I expanded @Lord_Nythrax suggestion concerning Heartwood in a new thread. )
  • There are various Ter Mur quests which will earn your character loyalty points.  While most of those quests involve fighting to gather materials, you can have your crafter accept a quest, then have a more suitable character gather the materials.  Ha…
  • @quickblade Garthur (the aforementioned Gargolye Imbuer) was mainly a craftsmen.  It was not until recently that I started giving him useful adventuring capabilities.  I don't expect him to take part in group hunts or anything like that.  But I do e…
  • @quickblade Thank you for your reasoned response. I am actively testing the general concept now on the Origin shard.  My Gargoyle character was pre-existing and is my Imbuer there.  His goal template is: 120: Imbuing110+: Throwing, Tactics110+: Heal…
  • I'm going to take a risk and post some non-negativity here.  In a Beta test, Devs will get two basic types of feedback. Most importantly, they are looking for bugs and major things they overlooked.  Second, they are looking for design modifications …
  • @Nikard hmmm, how about a tamer or mystic of the Gargoyle race who can move around the battlefield at mount speed and still control a 5-slot pet?  Or an imbuer who consistently gets better results than those of other races? Or a mage who generates m…
  • @dvvid Thanks!  I did not even know the flying animation could be shut off.  You are right about appearance, too.  My guy looks like the Flash running around in "invisible flight" mode.
  • You didn't say what the bug actually was.  Does it not work at all?  Is everything too dark to see?  Is the circle so small that you find it useless? I have no experience running UO under anything but an '86 architecture machine and real Windows, so…
  • @Nikard I do not understand why you think so.  The devs want the races to be actually different, yet maintain a dynamic equivalence between them.  Gargoyles can fly at mount speed; the flying does not count as a follower, leaving 5 pet slots open.  …
  • Rock said: ... On any given vein I get about 2 gems (4 in Felucca).  All 9 types are equally likely to drop into your pack.  My miner is an Elf, so other races might not get as many.... After posting, I decided this frequency was too lar…
  • Interesting theory.  I think you might be able to somewhat accurately deduce certain things, but the deductions would often be incorrect.  If you want some data, take a look at my City of Heroes Hall of Heroes site.  It is a memorial to my large set…
  • @Gidge I added info to my post.  It's is not quite as simple as I first wrote.
  • @Gidge Apparently you have never told your shovel what you want.  Right click on any shovel or pickaxe.  A context menu should appear:set to oreset to ore and stone set to ore and gems set to stoneWhen you finish, it is set for all shovels and picka…
  • @Popps I disagree with you about not getting normal gems from mining.  Yes, they are available elsewhere, but I like the fact that a craftsman type character can earn useful resources in a steady manner.  Plus gems are expensive to buy from jewelers…
  • @Pawain What do you think it is that causes the headache?  There is no 3-D effect that your eyes have to resolve.  Nor have I noticed any sort of flicker or other effect which I know could cause some people discomfort?  To the best I can tell, the 2…
  • My imbuer made Myst Weaver a bracelet which includes +12 Mysticism.  I won't wear it while training, but I did want to document that the developers did the math correctly.  Currently: true Mysticism skill: 94.0skill cap: 100 (has not yet read a powe…
  • Being an enhanced client user, I'm not even sure what the issue is.  Customizable, resizable container gumps?  It has been been a feature for over a decade.  At least for those not clinging to an old, out-dated design. BTW, for anyone who tried t…
  • EC scripts are hardwired for no more than 10 repetitions.  Depending on the script, that could allow you to be AFK for up to 10 minutes.  The script will end.  Heck, unless you move you'll be disconnected not much longer after that. I'm not saying i…
  • To: Our Ultimate FansFrom: Your Wonderful DevelopersSubject: Skill CapDate: the 2000s With the addition of Power Scrolls allowing many skills to reach 120 skill, we have bumped the total skill cap as well.  The sum of all your skills has been advanc…
  • Okay, thanks guys.  I didn't think to include shard.  It was Sonoma.
  • I took a break from the game since I first asked about this.  Now that I have been back for a while, I can report what I believe are very positive findings.  My character is named Myst Weaver, and as you might expect he is building Mysticism and Spe…
  • (I have no idea what the answer is, but you should have named this thread, Taming of the Cu.  )
  • Let's not be negative.  She is entitled to her opinion, and there are still countries where you get put in jail for being gay.  We all have thoughts based mostly on our upbringing.  Me?  I don't care about gay or straight.  Instead, I'm bothered by …
  • @Dizzy The date is not important.  For all I know, the Wikipedia is wrong (it''s been wrong before). IIRC (for this whole spiel), players remained in Felucca after the Trammel facet existed.  Each town had temporary one-way gates to get to the same …
  • Arroth_Thaiel said: ... -Can also Disco yourself when you are about 100 skill.  ... @Arroth_Thaiel , Hmmm. Does that mean you can train other skills while discorded, achieving gains as if your skills were at a lower level?  If so, can …
  • While I would rather have the cash go back into the game, even if the UO Store lowered its price, the 3rd party guys would lower their prices to undercut it.
  • The Blue Oster Cult -- I get it.  I don't play much on Atlantic, but good luck.  Besides, I don't have a thing to wear...
  • Congratulations!  Here's to 20 more.  I hate to be "that guy", but ... I'm going to be.  I'm curious.  According to the Ultima Online Wikipedia page, the Renaissance release (debuting Trammel) occurred 4 May 2000.  Either Wiki is wrong, you were …
  • WornOutYourTool said: Further north, need LP to use it If "LP" is Loyalty Points, then yes, a character must build up 10,000 LP with the Gargoyle queen by defeating overland monsters in Ter Mur or the Styggian Abyss.  Gargoyles start with …
