  • Pretty sure they do. I think you can use vet on most non-evil controllable pets, even elementals. I was going to double check, but the skeletal dragon was a paragon, and I didn’t have the patience to kill it (another annoyance of the necro mastery).…
  • I took the above necro mastery template to TC and enjoyed it conceptually, though I could only really practice on lower level stuff. I find the process of procuring skeletal dragons to be more annoying than getting a full focus while on the spellwe…
  • This is my favorite mage: Spellweaving 120 spirit speak 120 eval 120 mage 100 necro 100 heal 100 anat 100 I stick with the Spellweaving mastery for Mana Shield and Summon Reaper. Attune weapon, WoD, and the heal over time spell I use a lot. This …
  • Thanks for the laugh, all. It is indeed a bit of a joke, isn’t it?
  • Believe that’s actually a bug per the Discord - you can’t transfer them. But you might confirm over there.
  • I’m glad that the team is soliciting feedback in this way. This event was better than others in that you had multiple types of activities, and the art of the deco is really good. I would be happy if the rewards were entirely deco. I’m concerned tha…
  • Grimbeard said: We say we are ready to ban 3rd party clients but what if it's 40% of the players base what if kills UO is it worth the risk? The team must be taking this into consideration  If the game can’t survive without people cheating…
  • If I were theorizing about PVM poison templates they would look like: Swords or fencing 120 Tact 120 Anat 120 Magery 100 to 120 Healing 100 Poisoning 100 Rest in parry Spell channeling weapon and shield and use the poison mastery. Can use poison f…
  • I’m not sure of any threads specifically, but maybe I can help clarify the information on the wiki: https://uo.com/wiki/ultima-online-wiki/skills/poisoning/ The Poisoning skill will increase the strength of Poison and Poison Field. In the case of P…
  • Yeah, because we see a lot of trains where each character is being controlled every 30 seconds.

  • A bit off topic, but within the context of automated multi boxing, Broadsword describes what is legitimate here: https://uo.com/support/

  • Customers go through the site to download the official clients. The site being down also causes an error on the patcher. Just the other week there was a post on Reddit of a new or returning player being unable to start the game because the site was…
  • Curse Weapon adds on top of Vampiric Embrace. It’s generally not needed for Sampires because it requires Spirit Speak. The points are better spent ensuring you deal as much damage as possible. The leeching is more consistent than a weapon, and the …
  • You need to heal others or do damage to the monster. Multiboxing is already killing the game. Allowing players to reap even more rewards by parking their peace bard will make the matter worse.
  • Randomness needn’t be uniformly distributed. If you think they’re setting a straight percentage chances then, yeah maybe, but you’d be making an assumption on how they approach randomness. In the end, it’s gambler’s fallacy to see such small sample…
  • Anyone mind sharing how you make an endless macro with EC, considering it’s presumably “legal”? I read several years ago you just muck around the XML of the macro, but I don’t recall it working.
  • I agree with Merlin. It's a shame that we have this conversation with each event, but it points to the underlying design of the events in the abstract, which I feel is satisfying in the sense that it feeds players' desire for more power but is diffi…

  • “This game sucks I might just cancel a few of my several dozen accounts” — every post on this forum — right next to “hey can you add xyz to the uo store”
  • When you say fireball should be 19 - 22 damage but you can do 18, does that mean you casted the spell on a target expecting to do 19 - 22 damage but ended up doing 18? Could your target’s resistance have played a factor in the discrepancy? Was the r…
  • Grimbeard said: loop said: Ehh think sun is setting on the EC. There’s a reason the team didn’t lead with the EC in any lead up to NL, and neither client is particularly relevant until they can get to one that looks half decent and is …
  • Ehh think sun is setting on the EC. There’s a reason the team didn’t lead with the EC in any lead up to NL, and neither client is particularly relevant until they can get to one that looks half decent and is reasonably modern such that they can star…
  • I don’t really play the CC much, but I don’t know that I’ve ever really ran into very many bugs with it. There are a lot of quirks and design flaws for sure, but a lot of that’s server-side or just a result of the client’s age. The EC, on the other …
  • On the latest interview, they mentioned updates to the “renderer”. I presume this could mean better scaling art, a resizable window, and higher fps. I doubt UI updates are in the cards right now, but it would be cool if they opened it up for easier …
  • Three gotchas here Gargoyle will be harder to gear off the bat since New Haven critters won’t drop gargoyle gear. Gargoyle melee is even rockier, mostly in the long term due to imbalances with its slotting. Stealth ninja is pretty niche and me…
  • Raised this issue here after it got me killed: https://forum.uo.com/discussion/14314/door-teleporter-security-settings-reset-to-anyone-when-publishing-a-house-design#latest It’s an oversight that should be changed, but it’s been like that forever s…
  • Focus is only necessary for mystics. It has no impact on Chivalry. Generally speaking, neither meditation nor focus should be used on a warrior. Meditation requires mage armor, so you won’t be able to overcap LMC. You should be using a mana leech w…
  • Maybe, but it’s an even better opportunity to complain on the forums. :P Organizing a shard-wide Easter service (He is Risen! He is Risen indeed!) just ain’t the same as an official event where bunnies poop out tokens that you can redeem for leet g…

  • Every time Cookie responds to one of KroDuk’s easy-to-follow-and-not-at-all-meandering posts >xD
  • Yikes, y’all, I regret having paraphrased Kyronix on why we ain’t gettin’ Easter goodies. :P Who cares about Easter anyway when you could have Cinco de Mayo instead? UO is missing sombreros and maracas. Add a taco recipe!
