@Arroth_Thaiel, I should have made it clear that the actual implementation details don't matter, just the capability itself. If it can be done in a manner that a large number of players are already familiar with, so much the better.
-
First, consider what each spellbook brings to the table. Since the character is already a mage, you know it offers a wide variety of capabilities -- healing, curing, directly damaging foes, various summons, and QoL (quality of life) capabilities su…

@Fanny_Adams, I just checked with my Baja Alchemist, and things seem fine. Here is how I do it in the Enhanced Client:get an empty bottle, the ingredient and a potion keg in your backpackif keg empty, make one potion, drag to keg. You should know …

@FinleyGrant, did you lay out the spreadsheet? If so, are you willing to share your work? If someone else did it, do you know if they would be willing to make it available?

@jaytin, You are right, getting a raw bird is not non-sensical. What is non-sensical is not getting chicken legs from chickens. Perhaps a de-feathered dead chicken should yield:25 feathers2 raw chicken legs2 raw chicken wings1 raw bird torso(doubl…

@FinleyGrant, thank you for sharing. You don't need to apologize; I was originally focused on Healing and Anatomy because that is the way the question was framed. Also, it does have benefits magical means do not, such as needing no mana and non-in…

@Biff, I hope you haven't made your bard yet. I should have mentioned sooner that there are no New Haven accelerated gain quests to bring the bardic skills to a 50 level. (The same for skills including taming-related, thief-related, Tailoring, Car…

@Basara, thank you for the thorough explanation.

-
@Maximus_Neximus, I failed to "think outside the box", so my answer was constrained within the bounds of a healer template. So it did not occur to me to investigate getting rid of Healing and Anatomy. I see that Provoke provides two excellent buff…
-
@Biff, I must have been unclear. AW does not have a defensive aspect. It is just sort of a weak Blade Spirits. Tactics and Anatomy will buff its damage, but i think B.S. is still better than AW at full power. Plus a mage can have two B.S. at onc…

My oldest character, Rock, on Baja, was built to have a similar role. Since I wanted him to fight, too, the template varies somewhat from what you propose: 110: Mace, Music, Peacemaking100: Healing, Anatomy, Tactics 50: Chivalry 40: Focus Since C…

Welcome back, Fanny. I've decided not to do BODs for the bows requiring gems (which I'll call enchanted). IMO, the reward doesn't match the extra resources necessary. You can still earn high bowyer BOD rewards without those items. I don't know eno…
-
@Garth_Grey, not a bad supposition. It begs the question, though, of why most default name text describes a location yet certain others are labeled as Dynamic Region. What is dynamic about the spot? How is it differentiated from runes in other sp…

Refining your proposal to allow for skill training need not be a major overhaul. You already have suggested several result probability tables (RPTs). Allowing for training can be accomplished with a little math. Let's assume certain skills that a…
-
I read the proposal at Stratics and like it a lot. If implemented it would likely get me to buy the High Seas expansion on two accounts. For those who have not read it, the proposal involves more than sea-related stuff. It includes offering more p…

@MissE, at a guess I think it likely the devs included the 5/1 BOD/item ratio as a design constraint to discourage hoarding of BODs. In other words, it is an intentional inconvenience to encourage us to use BODs and not just accumulate them. I hav…
-
@TimSt, yes, I have been gathering them in Occlo, where there are four scribes in the library. I probably tend to use the same one of the four as well. I'll try mixing it up. It is hard to believe that should matter, but that does not mean that i…

A great hunting spot for folks fresh out their New Haven quests is the region south and southwest of Trinsic gate. Foes include ogres, lizardman, ettins, trolls, giant spiders, and harpies. A player can almost always manage to fight just one foe a…

"Enhanced" Client ..."Classic" Client ..One can choose to play either. What many are used to for up to two decades, or what has better features. Everything is in the names. Well, not everything. I think maybe the Enhanced Client should be called…

Hi @Obuw. First check out a related thread, How do you organize you BOD books? The replies were much broader than the question's scope. Then, if you plan to ignore large BODs, the bribing system becomes especially significant. First many small BO…

@Mariah, no door handles. It definately looks like it is facing north. This is the EC, BTW. I just checked in the CC and it is the same, facing north.
-
Well, he's GM now, and has a fair number of Clean Up Brittanica points. The embarrassing thing, though, is that I realized after the fact he could have been making tetsubos instead. Less lumber, and NPCs will buy. Shucks.
-
@Garth_Grey, I never had MySpace and only kept Facebook up for a couple months. Google+ is where it's at!

Interesting build. I wonder, though, what the 115 points of Chivalry are mostly going to be used for? I suspect Enemy of One (EoO), but if that is the main reason, why Chivalry so high? Your negative karma will be reducing EoO duration significant…

@Slayvite, Maybe I'll try subtlety. Concerning the main topic of the thread -- dwarves, or the lack of them, in a book ostensibly about dwarves. I realize now that the book title is very likely an analogy. It is equating miners with dwarves. Subt…

With so few details, I can only speculate. What you may be seeing is data memory of the UO client which the program does not bother clearing before using. So if you snoop something "UO", it could just be leftover scraps in memory from what you had…
