  • @Kyronix - What about the new spellbook & runebook strap vet rewards both showing as "book strap"?? For those that actually plan to use a vet pick on them it might be helpful to know which is which in the event they only want 1.
  • Adding link to the TC post to prevent duplication (Kyronix answered this post below) https://forum.uo.com/discussion/8348/currently-at-cap-for-doubloons#latest 
  • Wow... really? Is this that hard to understand? This is not rocket science @popps. If you currently have over 300k, you will not be able to turn in any further trade cargo until you go under the 300k mark. If you have 600k (which let's be honest YO…
  • It's a frenzy ostard base and they have pack instinctIt comes as a 3 slot pet so you could have 2 more frenzy ostards to use pack instinctI'm not 100% on this but someone else wrote that pack instinct can be utilized with other's pets as well so eve…
  • The publish notes do say it will be a staggered release of items (similar to how Rising Tide worked) so it makes sense not to see all of them but it's certainly a head scratcher why the Hook's map was one of the items they chose to release first whe…
  • You keep circling back on a minor wording issue. Again you could have easily read the thread and gotten your answer and moved on.  You chose to resurrect a 2 year old thread when you already had the answer. Furthermore if you really were concerned …
  • The warrior buff says +5% Damage Increase (Capped at 300% in PvM). Maybe it could be a bit confusing but as soon as I see the 300% portion that tells you where the buff goes. Additionally, if you use something like EOO; it doesn't actually say anyt…
  • Might save you guys some time here but I'm pretty sure I saw the answer was basically "No" to this request which is the same thing as they said for doing the same Jewelry Box filtering/sorting. 
  • I have confirmed Kyronix added the items back to the Blackmarket today. @popps - I asked at today's M&G specifically about the Hook Map. While Kyronix didn't want to spoil the item before it was even to be used, he did confirm that it will be b…
  • I've noticed that other shards besides ATL haven't been working as well lately either. 
  • @Kyronix - Any reason the new black market rewards are not available? I wasn't able to do additional testing of the shields over the weekend since they weren't there all weekend.
  • @Kyronix - I understand that the straps need to be Vet rewards (although I disagree because the straps as they stand are FAR from a quality of life improvement). If you are going to make them vet rewards, I really think the straps should be recipe…
  • It was said last year that the Devs were going to focus most of their efforts on NL shard and wouldn't be spending time on the live shards for "massive overhauls" and this was echoed by Kyronix again in the thread about "low hanging fruit" (he said …
  • Got it thank you! Side note - Any reason the shields and other new black market items are not available right now on TC1? @Kyronix ?
  • @Kyronix - Is the 3 slot Ostard up against the 3 slot wall in terms of points? I saw that every one I opened was essentially the same (stats/resist/ball park skills). Would this perhaps be used as the "base" or average stats with the chance of ope…
  • Larisa said: Happens to me ALL the time even at 120 Magery....should not happen at all with 120 imo but with 110 you should expect to fizzle sometimes. Are you sure you weren't being hit (or had a magery weapon in your hands)? I have 120 …
  • popps said: @ Kyronix , please, please, PLEEEEEASE, make it work from inside a Bank Box !! We do not want any more players loose their hard earned skills if their House falls and takes away their Soulstones, right ? So, it is of a fundamental …
  • Gwen said: Dont use protection then. Or you can use weapon with FC-1.  My mystic garg will love this shield. I will replace Hephaestus.  If you think 70 resists is enough- it is your opinion. You never used forms: wraith, stone or reaper ? I do…
  • Kyronix said yesterday while on TC1 that the book straps WILL be Vet Rewards so doesn't seem like that will change. That said, I agree with the majority here that while in theory these things seemed like a good idea, they fall extremely short of bei…
  • I did a comparison on the new Ostard (to a Triton). To @PlayerSkillFTW point the Ostard being 4 slot makes it extremely weak and pretty good chance not usable to majority of players. I made it on TC1 forum go check it out. https://forum.uo.com/dis…
  • Kyronix mentioned it on TC1 yesterday that it would be something to use in a future event type thing. 
  • As per Kyronix the system is automatically making them a 4 slot, but they are an exact clone stat wise of banes. Something will need to be decreased if you want them to be 3 slot. My guess is HP.
  • @Kyronix - I think this link will give you some pinpointed type of additions for things people want to see https://forum.uo.com/discussion/7885/might-be-too-early-but-suggestions-for-next-treasures-of-event-rewards#latest. Sometimes it's hard to kee…
  • Once again you are being told that it's possible and working fine and you choose not to accept the answer and post again about it. I've gotten plenty of "usable" items from lower level mobs such as 1/3 + 18SDI from things like a lich. It depends on …
  • @popps - What you are asking for already exists. That is where the 10SSI / 35Dmg Inc type jewels come from. You have to find the mob and the luck sweet spot (aka actually play the game). @Seth - I like your idea about making a type of "artifact" cl…
  • Kyronix said: Then we get accused of "not playing the game" because, obviously, if we did, we would definitely put that particular piece of equipment in.  What is often lost is we have to look beyond the simple desires of the player and consi…
  • @JohnKnighthawke - I agree with you and I don't think anyone is talking a full overhaul of something like Doom artifacts but rather just a few tweaks. That said, even viable items that were in high demand before (ie Magician Orny) have become irrele…
  • Likely will have to wait until TC1 gets the update to test. Just curious if you can already get that in the store... I checked ATL and don't have the option to even buy one to check (which I assumed was the case everywhere since it isnt on TC1 yet)
  • ...Why are you replying to 2+ year old threads is probably a better question  
  • Seems like the ATL issues with VS has infected other shards. Trying to search on Origin and getting "too vague"  on  pretty much anything I try for item name ("tangle" etc). I hopped over to Europa and getting same message. Is VS working for anyone …
