Problem is legitimate players sell stuff on their vendors and selling the same stuff in the UO store would have UO competing with legitimate paid subscribers for the same sales. Also, UO would risk losing the paid accounts of those that multibox. I…

Do you have a search criteria set that you might have forgotten about? Sometimes I forget and my items do not show up that way. Know to look for that now.

I don’t play much in Fel because at my age I have no interest at all in fighting with other players. I think that is more the reason most players don’t play there rather than their getting upset over being killed. You know when you go to Fel you c…

Define an area of interest and check vendor search several times each play period. That what I did and it works. I specialize in spellbooks, some specialized jewelry, some scrolls and a just a few other things I use, buy and sell. After a while y…

Might be. In a dungeon it targets stuff close by but on a different floor but also stuff, if I remember right, over 1,000 squares away. Don’t pay that much attention to it anymore. Just start manually targeting when it happens. Does not happen th…

It also cycles through targets on other levels of the dungeon. Has always amazed me how far away some of the targets are. Guess I have not seen the event you mentioned yet but especially when things get busy it cycles though a wide range of stuff …

Yes, dungeons work. Got lots of macing splintering weapons when I was training in the painted caves. Also, lots of bandages.
-
Sounds like it is still there. Would think a GM could fix that.

Pretty sure UO has mostly been on autopilot for awhile now. Be careful what you wish for. Be glad EA still supports the game enough to keep it running.

Believe idoc deletes veteran items. Put it all on vendors and have a rummage sale though that would be a lot of work. But guys like me would buy the good stuff fast. If you really love it why not just keep the house? You don’t have to play but …

As an incentive to pay the monthly subscription fee, endless journey accounts have very limited safe storage. Also believe they can’t have vendors either. Mine had a bank vault for awhile for $3 a month but that fills up pretty quickly. If you st…

That’s way more than they are worth. Dig up mage supply chests. They often contain the glasses though it might take awhile to get a five.
-
Don’t expect too much from the UO store. This issue has been raised several times before but apparently UO differs to the needs of in game vendors and third party sellers. I can understand UO’s attitude as far as in game vendors go but have never u…

Think it has been that way for awhile for mages. Don’t usually have much time to look at it but it gets your attention quickly appearing overhead.

Account bound might hurt cheaters but would do more damage to those honest, and mostly honest players that depend on drops and rewards to make some gold. Also, I think account bound would hurt the players that just don’t do well or can’t do tha…

Thanks. I learn a lot from these forums. Will give that a try next time I am on. That feature would be quite useful.

Easy too find software on internet. Just type “multi boxing ultima online”. Amazing.

The problem with auto looting is that you have to be in a safe location. If you used it during an event, let’s say in a dungeon, looting any self respecting dragon corpse you will get at least one 50 stone item among all the other junk plus you mig…

Don’t use CC so don’t know how that dressing feature works. But in EC you have to tell the equip (dressing) macro what you want to wear. My avatars I play the most use this feature. For example, my treasure hunter wears one suit for dealing with t…
-
Can a looting macro be selective? It’s easy to loot any container in EC even without a macro but it’s all or nothing. I don’t use this feature because most containers are mostly filled with worthless crap. If I was into unraveling, I might find th…

Just did a long post on this topic on the multiboxing thread. Not going to repeat it here. Long story short UO revolves around vendor search. Players rely on vendor search to get the gold they need to buy the things they need. We all can farm at…
-
UO revolves around vendor search so account bound classification would not work. To make enough gold to buy what you need, you have to have something you can sell to other players for around at least 500,000 gold a copy. Suppose it is possible for…

I think all this discussion makes a good case for shard bound. When I first started playing during the COVID invasion event a lot of players including my self complained that most of the invasion books won on my shard where being taken off shard to…

Do not really understand why Broadsword makes UO’s program code so accessible to other programers. Is the program’s code so old that it can’t be protected? Have never played a game like this one that actually invites other programmers to write cod…

Think he is just referring to the ticking of a clock to emphasize that time is running out. I forgot what this kind of use of language is called. Years ago the phase tick tic was commonly used by writers to indicate that time was wasting. To be h…

I could really use this feature but to be honest could not justify paying an additional two dollars a month for the level of play this game offers. Latency seems to vary during every play session. You never know for sure if you are going to be abl…

Tried ninja build once but with all the points you have to give to ninja, hiding and stealth skills there is not much left for anything else. Also found most of the ninja stealth damage attacks difficult to do. Sometimes they worked and sometimes …
-
For a newer player especially, you get some stuff other players actually want from supply chests that is not found in any other kinds of chests. I am thinking tasty treats, pardons, mana orbs, map makers glasses and skeleton keys. It has always sur…

Yes puzzle boxes work too but not my forte. They have quite nice pictures though.

Thanks for all the answers. Will dust of my mystic.
