  • Parry has a hard cap of 120.0 for all creatures. Even wild GDs will show like 120.0/143.5 Parry. If they didn't have a hard cap, then extremely high Parry creatures would be extremely difficult to land hits on, since Parry has a chance to trigger on…
  • My Fishermen uses a 2 slot Vollem (Pre-Patch) leveled to 3 slots (still below 30.0 Taming requirement, so doesn't require Taming/Lore to control) and given AI, and it can protect him from virtually anything i come across on the High Seas or even whi…
  • I still think these changes i suggested should be implemented. https://forum.uo.com/discussion/9606/suggestion-summon-form-revamp There's a lot of old mechanics like that which should be revamped and brought up to par. Cooking needs a revamp as well…
  • I still think this should happen. It's St. Patrick's Day today. An event where a crone wants us to kill a bunch of good-aligned creatures like Unicorns, Pixies, and Ki-Rins for their body parts so she can distill down their good karma essence into p…
  • Make Ship Tracking able to distinguish between player ships and NPC ships. Add a high chance of Trove T-Maps from Dread Pirates.
  • The original "Mage Robes" are the colored robes you loot from Evil Mages, those colors used to be unique to those specific robes until they introduced the "Special Dye Tub". Then as a pre-order bonus for AoS, they introduced the "Hooded Shroud of S…
  • Pawain said: I chose to make my fencer have 100LRC because he has necro and spirit speak. So that is a more difficult suit to create. My Sampires also have GM Necro/GM SS, but i use Arcane Thigh Boots and carry Arcane Gems to recharge them…
  • The devs would likely be concerned about people using the DPS Test Dummy as a way to skill up characters or pets. We already have ways of doing that though via Wolf Spiders, Shadow Ore Eles or Gregorio. The Elder Scrolls Online has DPS Test dummies …
  • 5 pack of Shadow Hounds (all fully skill trained) under "As One" and Inspire+Invigorate, was able to effortlessly kill a discorded Allosaurus in 2 mins and 1 second (faster than any 5 slot pet that's also under Inspire+Invigorate). Each Shadow H…
  • popps said: Having to control multiple pack animals rather then only 1 is not easy, to watch separate health bars, heal them separatedly, watch multiple pack pets going on their own towards side targets who aggro them, having all sorts of iss…
  • Remember, Shadow Hounds will stop spawning when Pub 119 launches, so get them while you can!
  • Oh, and remember that the current top tier pack pet, Shadow Hounds, will stop spawning from Lvl 3+ T-Chests when Pub 119 hits, so get them while you can!
  • Pawain said: Have you done the spawn and killed the boss with a gargoyle?  I guess when you think of a UO Paladin, gargoyle is the first thing that comes to mind. Gargoyle Melee basically don't exist. They're beyond extinct. The discrepan…
  • Violet said: PlayerSkillFTW said: Emberwing actually has a few hues, some lighter, some darker. The big pets to transfer from NL are going to be the Manticores, and the WWs. The WWs on NL have higher STR/HP/Resists than Prodo Gen 4 WWs…
  • Pawain said: You can tame and release them.  Rename so you know which you tamed. They will fight changelings.  You lose less Karma that way. It takes a lot longer to tame Cus, than to kill them. My Sampire can kill a regular Cu Sidhe …
  • Pawain said: Pets usually don't die at Travesty, I wonder how a pack would do there in a group. Likely extremely well, considering having 5 Shadow Hounds attacking at the same time would quickly decimate Travesty's Mirror Images faster tha…
  • My points were wiped on the 11th, but I was still able to kill spawn in the Solen Hives for artifacts and turn them in for points to get a last few decorative rewards. However, when my PC restarted suddenly, when i logged back in my points had been …
  • popps said: Are you perhaps saying that Shadow Hounds are crappy pets and that only inexperienced UO Tamers would be interested in using them ? Well, I seem to understand, from his very good and informative posts, that, for example, @ PlayerS…
  • KroDuK said: And I wouldn't touch my tamer for a WHILE; for the simple fact i'm still salty i couldn't get access to those sexy bear 200 artifacts cuz of them cheaters killing the vibe... i was working on them before I give up on Boardsword m…

  • Two things are most important for Shadow Hounds. First, it needs to be 1 slot on spawn, not 2 (Shadow Hounds that spawn as 2 slots are basically worthless). Second, it needs to have 150+ DEX/Stamina (they spawn with 145-165 DEX). 150 Stamina gives t…
  • popps said: PlayerSkillFTW said: Shadow Hounds are the current top tier 1 slot pack pet. A pack of five GM skilled Shadow Hounds can tear apart foes with lower Physical Resist faster than a 120 Chiv+AI 5 slot pet can. But is Enemy…
  • Emberwing actually has a few hues, some lighter, some darker. The big pets to transfer from NL are going to be the Manticores, and the WWs. The WWs on NL have higher STR/HP/Resists than Prodo Gen 4 WWs, with only Gen 1-3 having more intensity at 5 s…
  • Shadow Hounds are the current top tier 1 slot pack pet. A pack of five GM skilled Shadow Hounds can tear apart foes with lower Physical Resist faster than a 120 Chiv+AI 5 slot pet can.
  • I think a Refinements Storage would be more useful. Can easily get tons of them hunting Dread Pirates (which a ton of those were done during the Shrouded Sails event), they don't stack, and the Reinforced ones are actually useful.
  • I think it's about time they introduce a Refinement Cabinet/Table as well. Something that drastically reduces the lockdowns taken up by Refinements. The Paladin Fork of Earth should have Hit Fatigue or Hit Lower Attack (probably HLA, since the Fenci…
  • Lord_Nythrax said: God damn, you guys are really committed on an ongoing basis to propping up the pally template through items without making any real mechanical changes. No skin off my ass, but items so definitional to a template ought to be…
  • Yes. The Moldering Ursine definitely has it's uses, and can be particularly effective as 120 Chiv+AI, especially for a Disco/Tamer. Their self healing capability scales with their damage output due to Life Leech, so they can out heal Tritons/Cus whe…

  • Yep, just did Solen Hive on Atlantic during prime time, and got 100+ drops in an hour with a Sampire with 2,900 Luck and a Potion of Glorious Fortune, 100% legit Classic Client. I was so enthusiastic about the lack of bots, that i bought Sovereigns …
