Triton Statue "instructions" for proper use : can someone please point me to them ?
I just learned, AFTER having claimed a Triton from a Statue, that, in order to get the spawned Triton with some particular ability, the Statue needs to be activated in the TOKUNO facet....
Since I clearly must have missed the official instructions where this is stated and whether there is "other" specialties in regards to where to claim a Statue, where to activate a Statue to spawn a Triton etc. etc. (proper instructions for use, that is...), may I please ask to someone to kindly point me to such official notes about the Triton statue and its proper use, where to claim it, where to activate it, etc. etc. depending on what type of Triton the player might want to spawn and so forth.
Thank you very much.

I got this message :
Caution: You have a Tokuno ability selected. Make sure your statue was opened in Tokuno Islands to correctly see the ability on your pet.
and amazingly from that same site that you visited at 9am was this note
In regards to what the Triton can train, its spawn range, damage type, stats etc. None of this was ever disclosed "officially" by the devs, nor has it been disclosed "officially" for any other pet in the game. You find this information by playing the game or leaning on others as a resource. This is an MMO and part of the game is player discovery.
You can do all the testing yourself if you want to know about a new feature, pet, etc. There are also many resources created by players that do this discovery process for you, so you just have to read those resources to learn.
You seem to reject any answer given to you by players (on any subject) and demand an answer come directly from a developer or it doesn't count.
During the Khaldun Halloween event, for example, there was a great quest released that required detective work and puzzle solving to complete the quest. The devs did not release a step-by-step guide for how to complete this quest (nor do I feel they should have). Players came together to solve this quest, and then guides were made available on fansites for those that wanted to fast track the quest and not experience the content.
There are also elements common in many video games called "Easter Eggs". These are typically hidden features, jokes, messages, etc. that act as their own reward for players that discover them.
If you want to remove all aspect of learning the game and new content and figuring stuff out, there are many resources out there to help you do that, you just need to use those resources. The devs are not going to hand-hold and give step-by-step instructions for every little thing in the game. Like it or not, you need to learn to rely on the players that do testing and post the information, and not always demand direct answers from developers.
If you do have questions for developers, there are Meet & Greets every month where you can go and ask a question or two to get an answer from them
In regards to the Triton being spawned in Tokuno enabling it to get Bushido/Ninjitsu, this was discovered after it went live to all shards. It was brought to the Devs attention privately to ask if it was intended or not. After we were told this is OK, this information was then made publicly available on our website and other sites.
Learn to use the resources that others spend the time to put together. Not everything released by the devs will have a line by line instruction manual for how to operate.

This has been in the UO wiki for over 2 years.
Bushido and Ninjitsu
Only creatures from the Tokuno Islands are capable of learning Bushido and Ninjitsu abilities
Chivalry
Only creatures owned by characters with positive karma are capable of learning Chivalry
https://uo.com/wiki/ultima-online-wiki/skills/animal-taming/animal-training-abilities/If you want the ability to teach your Triton Bushido or Ninjitsu, they need to be born in Tokuno.
Welcome back!
That is PRECISELY WHY I would like to get some detailed instruction for use for BOTH the Triton Statuette and the Triton once spawned....
In order for players not to make mistakes which CANNOT be reversed, unfortunately.
Just imagine, a player who does NOT know that they have to claim the Triton on Tokuno in order to get Bushido/Ninjitsu and does not know (if this is the case) that they have to have high Karma in order to have Chivalry as available on the spawned Triton and they claim it with low Karma somewhere else BUT in Tokuno.
They get that rare 85%+ Intensity Rating Triton spawn, unfortunately, it comes WITHOUT what they wanted for it, no Chivalry and no Bushido/Ninjitsu....
Now, how would this player now feel knowing that such a rare occurrance has gone wasted all for nothing because no Warning Gump came up when they actually interacted with the Triton statuette to tell then where and how they should have used that Triton statuette to PROPERLY get the type of Triton which they wanted ?
Are there any other facets that should be considered?
You're beating a dead horse.. the mentality you ask for is non-existent in UO..
Yet, if, as I am understanding, such knowledge and information was assessed while in Testing, and the Developers informed about it as I seem to understand from some posts about this particular issue, shouldn't then such knowledge and information be made available to ALL players, likewise, with a Warning Gump to pop us with a few lines of Text upon clicking the Triton Statue to clain a Triton?
May I ask you whether you think that this should have been the correct way to go, to the greater benefit of all players ?
Not all players have the time handy to spend much time in Ultima Online to earn Doubloons to then purchase a Triton statuette. Some, perhaps are very time constrained to play Ultima Online extensively.
To waste 140,000 Doubloons which took them time in the game to earn, time which for them is scarce, perhaps, and get a Triton LACKING those abilities because they were NOT warned beforehand with a Warning Gump on "how" (and what to excatly do) to actually get a Triton with those abilities, "can" perhaps be upsetting.... right ?
And does it do good, ultimately, to Ultima Online as a whole, if I may ask, to have players who are upset about it?
How much work and time would it have taken, I wonder, to add a few lines of Text on a Warning Gump to tell players that 1) - They had to have high Karma if they wanted a Triton to come with Chivalry and 2) - That they had to claim it while in Tokuno if they wanted it to come with the Bushido/Ninjitsu ability ?
Would it have been "that" of a big deal, if I may ask ?
That I could understand, it was not in the Publish notes for the Triton (https://uo.com/2019/05/01/new-rising-tide-rewards/) that, in order to have the spawned Triton come with the Bushido/Ninjitsu ability, one had to activate the statuette while in Tokuno...
Not to mention, the need to have High Karma if one wanted it to come with the Chivalry ability....
ETA:
It is not the developers' job to hand game play to the population. It is up to the player to PLAY THE GAME and TAKE THE RISK to find BENEFITS and FEATURES. That is the definition of a Sandbox Game. I like how things are not explained - hearkens back to the earlier days when Sosaria was alive and exciting to play.
If players want the game handed to them, there are console games of which to partake. This is not the game you are looking for if you want it served any differently than it is.

Simple deduction man.

That is and cannot be a granted, considered the "exceptional" spawning conditions for the Triton.
Hence, once found, I still say that it should have "deserved" a special Warning notice upon using the Triton statuette, and this, particularly all things considered in regards to all involved with getting a Triton.....
If you plan to train it, then you have read the information on pet training
Therefore you have read the notes regarding Bushido, Ninjitsu and Chivalry
Someone remembered what they read.
You didn't.
Maybe you should go test things before running to the forums crying and demanding safety gumps for every action you take?
No one ever said you need positive karma (let alone high karma) when claiming a Triton in order to give it Chivalry. That was created purely in your mind and now you are running around multiple forums crying over ruined Tritons that cannot get chivalry.
Your tamer needs positive karma in order for Chivalry to become available to train on a pet. It even says so in the Official UO Wiki. It has always been this way.
This does not mean you need positive karma when you claim the Triton, you just need positive karma when you train it if you decide to give your pet Chivalry.
