  • Yes reaper is good!  First time I have summoned one.  In narrow areas they rock.  Was working ok this morning.
  • If you’re talking here about lag, I play on a different shard and experience the same.  Half the time when I log on the game pauses so often for a number of seconds each time I try to move or cast a spell that it is unplayable.  It would be suicide …
  • Finally, have a chance to rewrite my original discussion.  Was just wondering if other treasure hunters’ experiences are the same as mine.  For me supply chests usually yield one or two maps, cache three or four, hoard maybe three, and from the trov…
  • Don’t have time to rewrite this right now.  Just wanted to know if others were finding the same number of hats as I am.  Cache and supply are your best bet if all you want is hats.  That’s my conclusion.  UO is so frustrating to use.  It lost everyt…
  • Not too bad an event.  Hats not too hard to get.  For treasure hunters supply chests don’t require much effort to do and appear to yield one or two hats each.  For fighters, Void return is pretty good.  I can do Void maybe two times a night before i…
  • Recalled back to chest still lag stopping.  EV and number stats all came to a complete stop in mid air.  Only could see top of ev.  Recall back home maybe only took 30 seconds this time.  Really UO you have to better quality control than you are doi…
  • Wish so much I could say something positive about this game.  Dug up a hoard chest but lag so bad had to just cast ev’s from a distance while game kept stopping.  Got 3 hats from chest but lucky to survive with constant stopping.  Recalled to bank t…
  • Do you play CC?  Connection lost announcement looks a lot cooler than EC’s.  Sort of feel better that that message isn’t unique to me, but sorry you lost connection inside.
  • I had to contact an EM to find out what to do with the code.  Think a lot of new players have the same question you have.  Maybe a few will find the answer here now.
  • Skull tiled floor is neat an usually not very expensive.  Stone oven might be neat in a cabin.  Have never priced those though. Chairs, thrones, cabinets and tables usually not that much.  Not sure how much room you have, but a harpsichord is a nice…
  • Playing a couple of standalone UO games on my Nintendo 64 back in the day.  They were as good as the other best role playing games of the day, and had basically the same map and locations as Trammel has today.  And, you got a great map in the box.  …
  • Sorry, negative comments is mostly what I see anymore.
  • For some items you need more than one field.  For example if you want a 120 legendary magery scroll, if you search under just one of those terms you are likely to get pages and pages of items before you ever get to the magery scrolls.  This is also …
  • Do you have to spend 1000 gold for this to work?.  Do you have to teleport to the vendor first using the map?
  • Popps after looking at all the responses to your thread, I have to conclude that everything presented points to the result of your search not being a system fluke, but a result created by a player that knows how to manipulate the system.  I think th…
  • This game has likely been doing this since 1997.  Pawain’s example is what I was thinking about when I first read this post.  Also, VS recognizes just strings of letters that don’t spell any word but might be found in a word. I search using those al…
  • When I started five or so years ago they were right on target.  Then at some point after a year or so had passed spells I cast started to display no where near the target but still damaged the target.  Thought it might have been my computer but glad…
  • I only buy blessed items like spell books in Fel.  If it’s something else and it’s just too good of a deal that should tell you something. Always read the official description and identification carefully.  At the last event a player was selling dr…
  • I have been posting since 2020 on an I pad.  I have two iPads that worked just fine at first.  Then all of sudden I could get on with one but not the other when I wanted to post.  This continued for a long time but now thy both seem to work again fo…
  • Shootgun I play this game mostly because I think it is much easier on my hands, nerves and joints than most other games.  I am too old to be a virtuoso on the keyboard anymore.  I can still play that way, but would do serious damage to myself if I d…
  • I would monitor the prices on vendor search.  Would imagine UO has created 1,000s of boxes unique to different years and events.
  • As a mage always take blessed and insured items including my 100% lower reagent cost suit, rune book and slayer books.
  • Actually. another question comes to mind.  Can items providing a total spell damage increase of let’s say 100% make a player with 100 magery and 0 evaluate Intel. an effective direct damage spell caster? Also, one more question, has the editing fun…
  • Thought spell damage increase only increased direct damage spells and not area damage spells like earthquake, energy vortex, and the mystic area damage spells.  Know it increases chain lightening and meteor swarm, but since I can target those I cons…
  • Yes, I get search results right after the times out message.  More often now searches take way longer than usual.  But, it works normally part of the time.

  • Tried vendor search on Atlantic tonight and it is messed up.  Searched on 15% lower reagent cost and 8% lower mana cost.  Got the time out message fairly quickly and then the search results.  Got to admit my first time seeing that.  Hope it starts w…
  • That’s a lot of search criteria and I am sure there is a ton of stuff to search through.  I usually just use one but have at times used 3 or 4 search criteria to search for things for my mage.  Maybe try a search using just lower mana and reagent co…
  • Works for me on Atlantic most of time.  Sometimes it’s slow and sometimes it’s blacked out, that’s not new.  But at least 75% of time it’s working normally. I rarely get the time out message. Might be something on your end if it’s always down.  Know…
  • Tha wiki’s provide a lot of information, but so do a lot of other sources.  Lot’s of times if it’s a detailed answer your looking for you will find it somewhere on the internet, but the probability of the answer being in the wiki’s is about the same…
