  • Pawain said: Yup.  Keven told us he decided stopping the nest digging to go to Matriarch was not good time management.  You have to decide.  Do 1 or more nests or do Matriarch.  100% - Depending on the time of day (how many people are on…
  • I believe the cultist are reskinned from a Ronin (the ones with halberds actually heal) which I don't think have a slayer so my guess is that the cultist also do not have a slayer. Use enemy of one (Chiv) for extra damage.

  • I haven't tried any slayer for them, but I use enemy of one and onslaught... that makes them a bit easier. As Pawain mentioned, I will WW everything else first and if they are still standing after everything else is dead I'll focus on each one. Take…

  • Pawain said: Effigies are not so rare.  A set is on LS VS for 100M. So I don't have to do chests, yay. They are shard bound though so you will need to buy them on whatever shard you are looking to display them. Just an FYI.
  • You know you can just lock it down to show it off as well? 
  • If you are playing on ATL, keep an eye on the gen chat for when the matriarch is being done. I drop my bag of eggs on the ground around Luna after it's done; others do as well.
  • gggghhhh0987 said: Pawain said: Since I have no interest in the hidden chests I assumed that is where the other color dragons also came from. Now that I know that only matriarch and chests have 83 and 84.  All those other color dragon…
  • Ahua said: I know, I see the bags people drop on the ground! but not me... the deco eggs are hard to miss lol. If I had gotten one I'd know, I'd have put as deco in my house.  People told me to keep trying, did it with some high dps friend a…
  • Ahua said: Ok will try the massive nests, we did grand ones! Thanks for the tips, the bags I get at matriarch only have blue items in them, some kilts... but never a tree or deco egg or effigy I really think its because I don't do enough dp…
  • Pawain said: @ keven2002  See how many items are in that tiny field!  I say locked down items should not count towards storage. I agree with you. I don't decorate because I can't spare the extra 200+ lockdowns to build a themed home; if …
  • creampie said: keven2002 said: I'm kind of hoping there is a mature egg for 400-500 deco eggs... all of the people monetizing the mature eggs should have made their money by Pub 122 so the Devs should allow the unlucky people to finall…
  • I'm kind of hoping there is a mature egg for 400-500 deco eggs... all of the people monetizing the mature eggs should have made their money by Pub 122 so the Devs should allow the unlucky people to finally get their eggs. 
  • Yep but I think that's kind of the issue we are talking about aiming for "too much luck" when it comes at a detriment to effectiveness. I also think it depends on what you are looking for and what you are hunting.  I would stack as much luck as pos…
  • Grimbeard said: What would be the developers reason for saying luck matters if it didn't?  Because luck matters for some things but not all; which has been confirmed by the Devs. The problem is that everything is super vague and in some in…
  • Mariah said: Or to be strictly accurate, you can craft SSI, but only 5% and only on a ring.https://uo.com/wiki/ultima-online-wiki/items/artifact-collections/artifacts-craftable-minor/Turquoise ring. Yes sorry - I meant "Imbue" when I said…
  • We sure do... we needed it like a month ago. I've completely run out of space for deco eggs and have been throwing them on the ground... hopefully someone with lots of room is benefitting from them. Lesson learned in that every single item should h…
  • Arnold7 said: Just keep killing stuff and if you have a treasure hunter do treasure chests.   Also, check vendor seach at least once every play session.  Don’t see any tinker responses here.  It might be possible to make one, but have never r…
  • NuSair said: Definitive as I can be. Luck works on T-Maps and general creature loot. I've done over 1000 Nest Maps, I did 300 with 0 luck for testing. 700+ with 3000-5000+ luck. Luck did not affect any of the loot from the nest. It was the same …
  • People will usually call out in chat. Make sure you get your 3 runs in to guarantee a drop. I think Krampus will go a lot slower this year (similar to last year) due to many people focusing on the event (ie nests / mature eggs). 
  • Rocko said: In order to see an egg or effigy in a chest, you need GM stealing?  I don't think so.  However, I have not seen an egg or an effigy in the hundreds of chests I have opened.  Also, no eggs from nests. I have pulled two eggs from t…
  • I think ultimately it comes down to loot tables which most of us don't know much about. To Vic's point if you want a clean 2 mod overcapped piece you should be killing X mob (and from there it's rng).  This is something I wish the Devs would help w…
  • Lokea said: Rocko said: Not sure what the drama is between UO Stratics and UO because of long absences from playing.  Whatever it is, there is information in the Stratics forums that I cannot find anywhere else.  It would be nice to ha…
  • Yes you can swap the 2 skills around and probably be ok. The only call out from me about that would be that once you kind of figure out your suit and start to "fine-tune" things, swapping between the 2 skills likely will remove some max stats from …
  • @Mordeed - You can be fine with any variation for a warrior so I would probably suggest just trying things out to see what you like best.  If you are going to use Bushido and use a shield; you are hurting your parry chances (Bushido works better wi…
  • If you are going traditional paladin build; you don't need Bushido... in fact your parry chance is actually decreased when combined with Bushido (compared to regular parry w/o Bush). You could swap in Healing for Bushido and have a pretty decent bu…
  • @tonyberz - Pawain answered your #1 point so I'll skip that. On your second point; I'll tag in @PlayerSkillFTW to speak on how anatomy / LJ add damage and what it is. I do not think having 120 anatomy vs 23 will create a 40pt damage swing, but I do…
  • @Thalon - I think where pawain was going there is that to help maximize damage; strength should be at 150 and since it's not a skill that's something most people prioritize.  @tonyberz - I'd agree the strength also needs to be bumped to 150. If you…
  • I've done a ton of matriarchs and still have yet to get a single egg. I haven't done many chests so I can't speak to those numbers but from what I see from others they do seem like better chances. It's to the point now that when I'm on my luck hour…
