I also like the concept. It complements the functionality offered by the Release menu item on objects already locked down.

(Darnit, the edit timer expired. The damage table would be improved with an additional column, Human, that factors in the 20 ghosted JOAT skill for Anatomy and Tactics. JOAT Anatomy can add 10% damage, while JOAT Tactics can add 20%.) Assume AW ha…

In my set, I wanted resourcing by elves, all eight professions with BODs, and a limit of two crafters who will avoid fighting. All other characters should hold their own in battle. GM+ crafters are to be able to make all items of their profession a…

@Uriah_Heep, thank you. When making a book for my Origin guys, I noticed there is a mistake in the layout of the Inscription section. I said "p.11 begins with Circle 7 Group". It actually begins with the second Necromancy Group (Necromancy: Poison…

Thank you for the info. I had been wondering if there were such a thing running. I got onto the server just fine with your link.

Well phooey. I've got the opposite problem now. I started out making an exceptional skinning knife out of iron. This gave it 40% Damage Increase. It was then imbued with 15% Hit Life Leech. Finally I was going to enhance it with shadow iron to …

Here is how my book mapped out:Page 1: AlchemyPages 2 & 3: Blacksmithy -- p.3 begins with Chainmail group Page 4: BowcraftPage 5: says "(Carpentry on next 2 pages)"Pages 6 & 7: Carpentry -- p.7 begins with Large SE Chests group Pages 8 &…

I posted the above because I am building an infrastructure to keep track of my BODs. I decided it would be helpful to have an in-game reference of what small BODs are part of a large BOD. These are taken from the Wiki Bulk Order Deed search page. …

@Bilbo, check again concerning colored leather and wood. I've been imbuing them for a couple months now. Maybe there was a change some time back that enabled this, but they are definitely imbuible now. These were made just now directly from the s…

Question 1 of my previous post should have read:How often will exceptional spellbooks with properties occur?
-
Perhaps a related bug concerning Gargish earrings (and probably necklaces) is that if a tinker makes them out of colored ingots, the special properties of those ingots do not get applied. Yesterday my GM tinker with GM Arms Lore made a pair of Garg…
-
@Bilbo, I agree, this should be better documented. And the error message needs to be rewritten. As it stands, it is completely meaningless and has no bearing on the actual problem. "Ore too old"?? I'm not sure what you mean by, "Same with all mat…

Paper made GM scribe and mage today. I misunderstand the conditions under which spellbooks with properties are made. I had thought that once he achieved GM in both Inscription and Magery, then any exceptional spellbook would have at least one pro…

@Petra_Fyde, I edited my post to correct the cashual count. Thank you for the correction. You actually came to Baja to verify this while I was there. If a battle does start while I'm in town, I'll recall out, if possible. So far I've been in sever…
-
@Petra_Fyde, dayam! Three mages, three cashuals (I missed two initially), one mapmaker, and four scribes. That's 11 sellers of blank scrolls in one town. I'm not sure even Luna has that many. I'm not too bothered by the VvV stuff. I have yet to…

I have never used Mystic Weapon, but I assume it is like a 10-minute mage weapon, but for the Mysticism skill. If so, the downsides would be the same.Without Tactics, the bow would effectively have a -50% DI (damage increase) applied. If human, it…
-
@Arroth_Thaiel, I have no aversion to using Scrolls of Transcendence, and there is a possibility that my two characters on Baja who engage in trade deals will end up with Inscription one(s). Heck, I mean I already have a Taste Identification one --…
-
@Petra_Fyde, thank you! I knew some map makers sold blank scrolls but did not know about the real estate agents. I had not thought of crafting spellbooks. I see that the success chance of an 8th circle spell is currently 36.2% but 43.1% for spellb…
-
@cobb, Why do you call the damage bonus "ridiculously bad"? So far as I can tell, it is 30% at GM level, just as documented. So if the average base damage of a given axe is 14, the Lumberjacking skill is adding 4.2 damage to every swing. This is …
-
@Arroth_Thaiel , it sounds like your friend was getting into it. There is a lot of upfront info, and if he's played other MMO's he is probably aware that he will not be doing things the "optimal way" at first. If he is really into lore, have him …
-
@Mervyn, I think you probably misremembered or the DI from Arms Lore was changed. As far as I remember, once Arms Lore was made a useful skill which buffs crafting, it has always added up to 5% to exceptionally crafter armor (random resists) and we…

I meant to also mention race. Unlike sex, it has significant bearing on your character.Human -- Jack of All Trades (JOAT), 20% phantom ability in all skills. (You need more than 20% actual and/or jeweled skill to start seeing more ability than the …
-
@Mariah, thank you. Are you sure that Pub.69 info is still current? If I understand what you are saying, 10% of axe hits will result in double base damage. I have never noticed such damage spikes. Rereading the UOGiuide info, it agrees with what…
-
Since you are taking Mysticism, be aware that it provides two methods reducing the effects of curses and being poisoned. The first is Stone Form, available at a low skill level. It acts passively to reduce poison and curse effects. Then at 58.1 ski…
-
Thank you for feedback @Mervyn. I should really have specifically tied the OP to Swordsmanship, but I didn't even think about the War Axe being considered a mace. It sure looks like an axe, though!Out of curiosity I took 7xUseless out for some woo…

Some of the New Haven NPC trainers are very picky about you being close when dropping gold on them. The trainers in the mage building of New Haven are especially picky. Get close (like right next to him), choose what you want him to train, then dr…

@Luc_of_Legends, I don't know anything about the post that was deleted or what led to you writing it. You might be being a bit hasty rage quitting on a Saturday when there is little chance a dev or moderator is around to answer your question. It i…

@Mervyn and @CovenantX, you are both correct; I am a PvM player. I am not strongly averse to PvP (nor do I have an aversion to adventuring in Felucca). My reaction time tends to be on the slower end, and I simply feel I would not be good at PvP. It…
-
@DJAd, I like those ideas. Another is to drop (maybe halve) the imbuing weight (IW) of exceptionally crafted weapons and armor. For example, a weapon might be crafted with 40 Damage Increase (DI, 80 IW) with the material adding 40 luck (40 IW). I…
-
@CovenantX, if I gave the impression that the HPR was the only benefit of a Horbelist build, then I wasn't clear. The inherent HPR (22 if human) plus the ability to spell cast plus even Spirit Speak all contribute to the whole. He has Curse Weapon…
