  • PlayerSkillFTW said: 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, …
  • Galadar said: My mystic paladin and my bard are probably my weirdest builds.  Mystic Paladin uses Bows to Start and switches to sword and shield after. I use the mystic mastery for the bow and use the event bow. Add hit lightning for the spe…
  • KroDuK said: lol, I ignored that post.. like he ignored mine addressing this problem before he did this post. (play with someone leading the way or just leave the pack at home, go where u want to go and log out/in; aka pet logging) To leave,…
  • JackFlashUk said: No, I would like, for example ( @ Kyronix? ), a special Crystal Ball of "pack" pets summoning that works anywhere and can summon "all" pets in a pack once the Tamer gets to the Hunting location so as not to make it a n…
  • Arroth_Thaiel said: Well, he has fishing because he's a fisher. Hiding and Stealth because he is my dungeon fisher and protector for Felucca champ spawns. I find having Hiding / Stealth is hugely beneficial for both of those activities. Mag…
  • Violet said: To find out jut how important strength is we have: https://www.uo-cah.com/pet-damage-calculator You need to account for pet damage is PvP is halved and UO rounds down when it comes to calculations. At 61 or 70 resists anything…

  • KroDuK said: I'd say the opposite.. since u cannot train them; their original intensity is way more important.. since u cannot compensate for anything. PlayerSkillFTW said: Here's the stat range i've seen so far.Hits: 150-200 Stamin…
  • Petra_Fyde said: I suppose someone has to state the obvious, it might as well be me. You train their skills to GM. Thank you. Just wanted to make sure, really sure, that a pet, including a pack pet, staying at slot 1, does not receive any…
  • Violet said: popps said: So, the 84.0 Taming requirement I assume also means that to control (i.e. to transfer to), it is necessary a character with at last 84.0 Animal Taming. Animal Lore skill level is not important to transfer Shadow…
  • Violet said: They are five slot, of course there is no training options available.  But if they came in a 4 slot variety that is what they would be able to train. @Violet I understand, but since they are tamed as 5 slots wit no traini…
  • KroDuK said: @ popps To help you.. understand pack instinct is the Berserker mode for a tamer.. back then, the frenzied ostard and firesteed were the best two pack animal a tamer could use for PvP.. you still can bring them for PvE stuff.. bu…
  • PlayerSkillFTW said: 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 145-1…
  • keven2002 said: popps said: Lastly, "what if" I use a Soulstone in between characters to transfer the 84.0 Animal Taming skill points so as to then be able to transfer the Shadow Hounds to that character, what happens to the Shadow Ho…
  • Victim_Of_Siege said: Prepatch Beetle, meaning it was tamed prior to the change to one slot. if you released it and retamed or pressed the "begin training diamond" it should morph to a 1 slot. OK, thank you, being a prepatch pet, it is wo…

  • Cookie said: I am forever seeing how Botting, lag from botting, shardbound restrictions, wars on sub-sets of players, and free loot in Trammel is losing the game players. Tell me the difference - you can't have it both ways. Making the game e…
  • Cookie said: I would even suggest, a cataclysmic event, where all gold, and resources are wiped. Then take loot away from Trammel, and put more emphasis on Crafting. I would maybe not even bring PvM equipment/weapon loot back at all, on any f…
  • Pawain said: Mininova wand starts in a new characters bankbox.  Are you sure it wasn't the candle that caused this?  Nope, the EJ character holds the candle in one hand... As I said, on that same exact EJ account, and same shard, I creat…
  • Mariah said: How many items were in the character's back pack? Having a full back pack can force an artifact drop to be put into the bank. It is possible that that particular scenario was not anticipated when setting criteria for EJ. If that…

  • Parallax said: Shadow Hounds appearing from Treasure Chests will be turned off with the release of Publish 119. Get them while you can! This is really bad news, I was convinced that they would have spawned regularly with Treasure Chests…
  • 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 of One sufficient …
