  • Maybe try your template with eval intel ring and bracelet with 20 eval intel on each and a wizards curio talisman with 10 eval intel  and a spellbook having around 10 eval intel and see how it plays.  Know this would screw up your suit but just sayi…
  • Don’t know how much gold you have in the bank but if you need some you won’t get a better opportunity to raise it than now.  Raising enough gold to buy the equipment and scrolls you need is very difficult in UO for a beginning player outside of even…
  • Regarding selling the eggs.  If you do the curio collectors quest, he will give you one fey ingot, which counts the same as a drop, for turning in 10 eggs.  Divide the price of the lowest priced ingots or drops by 10 and that is what you should sell…
  • Popps could use some clarification here.  In most of your other discussions regarding this issue you are a tamer.  Assumed same was true here.  Sorry see you did that earlier.
  • Also agree about the RC.  You can’t control like you do a pet.  It just kills everything in the area starting with the bad guys first and it is not nearly as powerful as some of the pets.  Four slots would be more realistic considering it is more po…
  • Have seen this thread about s tamer’s vulnerability now a couple of times.  Bottom line is the underlying UO philosophy regarding players.  Some, maybe most, tamers have pets that can easily solo para greater dragons with a little help from the tame…
  • Getting a little tired of reading these posts.  Instead of a rather terse 11 word response maybe some clue as to what the drop rate is actually based on (appreciate that you did reveal luck).  And, maybe the targeted drop rate.  In the past thought …
  • Did not realize it was an rc.  Can you cast an rc if you are a tamer with a pet.  Was thinking from a survival point of view the mount would be better than the summons if you were looking to escape.
  • Did not think you could cast a summons if you have a five slot pet.  Not a tamer so don’t know too much about that.  But think with some players getting killed is part of their strategy.  They and their pet do as much damage as possible and if they …
  • If you can cast a summons why aren’t you mounted on one of those mounts you can keep on your backpack?  You could then put enough distance between you and the para that you could invis.  That would be more effective for breaking the lock than castin…
  • Just a thought.  If you cast your summons from a distance of around 18 before the para sees you and then disappear the summons will target the para and the para will go after the summons.  You can then cast a second summons. I use this tech. a lot a…
  • You have to run on the first level so that if the para is at one end you are at least in the middle of the dungeon before you cast invis and then wait forever to disappear. Sometimes if the para is chasing you and close when you invis, you have to r…
  • Have to agree it is more playable now most of the time.  Paragons are spread out a little more.  Night before last was the dragon spawn making it quite playable by a solo player.  Last night was the greater dragon spawn making it more playable if yo…
  • Have not bought a vendor for awhile.  Believe bankers sell them.  Recommend getting the more expensive one for about 25k.it will cost you less in the long run if you sell higher priced items like eggs.  I have a couple of the lower priced ones that …
  • Glad you got a house.  Recommend you get the vendor that costs $25,000 gold.  It chrages a commission based on the selling price when you sell something.  The other vendor charges a daily rate which might break the bank if you are selling eggs and i…
  • I have a necro mage 110 magery, eval intel, spellweaving, 100 resist spells, meditation, spirit speak, and 90 necro.  He also has magery, spellweaving, and necro masteries.  He takes magery and eval.to 120 with a crystalline ring and wizard’s curio.…
  • A mount allows you to move much faster than on foot.  If you die the charger goes into your backpack.  You don’t feed it or stable it.  Early on it is really nice to have.  Think you have to feed the live ones to get them to bond with you. 
  • Regarding the starter pack and raising you skills to 90 would not really recommend buying either of these unless you really know what you are buying.  Regarding raising your fighting and casting skills to 90 for most skill sets you can do this on yo…
  • The fey book with 29% spell damage increase is most likely an invasion book.  Think that is the only event that dropped books on which the spell damage varied.  I have a couple of them. As far as selling I would put my money on the blessed quiver, …
  • Regarding the post about the player that left the egg in the house.  Carl Shift allows me too see everything in the house and where it is.  I can open the door and be on the egg very quickly.  Occasionally another player beats me to it but not often…
  • Don’t see many players in the dungeon at night anymore.  Agree the drop rate should go up some for those killing paragons.  Play occasionally with really good players.  I help when I can with the big stuff but mostly go after the regular stuff with …

  • We have a wraith guy egg collector on our shard too wondered why he used that form.  Would not say for sure he is scripter.  He recalls around a lot but don’t think he is on 24/7.  He’s usually there and gone before I can talk to him. Egg prices hav…
  • Yes that is true.  Would also like to see a little more.
  • From what I have read In a former contractor’s post that was linked to in another now closed discussion, UO’s staff consists of one marketing person, one programmer, and two others.  Would think just maintaining the game’s current content and integr…
  • Have had similar things happening to me,  Did not want to say anything because I thought it was just my account.  Might be the result of lag.  You are ahead of where the game is or something like that.  Come to think of it when I was at that same br…
  • I don’t use these a lot but the one I use works fine when I go to Destard every night.
  • I like having a choice.  I do both collect eggs and play the dungeon.  Can get more ingots per hour, around 10, from collecting eggs than drops from playing in the dungeon.  But if the dungeon is playable, I will play it.  The dungeon on the nights …

  • Ingots selling on my shard were going long term at about 1.5 million but a single player, who is not a scripter, put about 20 on at 1.2 million.  Price might go back to 1.5 million when those sell.    But notice they are are not selling that fast.  …
  • As a mage, Para Shadow Wyrms target me the second I enter the dungeon.  Maybe, they do other types too.  Agree could have been blood oath believe first time a regular Shadow Wyrm cast it on me with my dragon slayer in hand I took 180 damage.  Know b…
  • If you use the enhanced client and you are not too discriminating just follow the instructions in the first paragraph of the initial post and when you click-on set filter type in egg.  I put the icon in a hot bar.  When I log on I just click-on the …
