  • I like resist on a mage because about half to two thirds of the spawn are spell casters.  Some players prefer orange petals and special apples.  There really is not room for wrestling when you add remove trap.  Think in pvm you really don’t need it.
  • Lots of builds work the key is to know how to play them.  My hunters build is Magery 120, eval intel actual 110 but 120 with a wizard’s curio, meditate and resist and wrestling 100, cartography 100 and remove trap 90.  Will eventually replace wrestl…
  • My guess is that UO has a declining player base that makes it not financially responsible to invest more money into advancing the game.  I think that is just the way it is.  Maybe it is different on Atlantic.  
  • Same thing that happened to McDougle happened to me in the same place in fire.  Game animations can’t display in real time when the action gets heavy.  Don’t think anything can be done about it.  At least your corpse I will be in a safer place when …
  • Yes down way more than it is up this week.  Sometimes get repeated search results like Pawain states when I am in the field a long time after having given up on VS.  Sometimes after having logged off hours before logging back on,  One time the same …
  • The delayed hits when you are way out of the casters range reflect hits from when you in range.  As has been mentioned by another the animation just takes time to catch up and points lost do to.  It has always been like this I would guess.  It can o…
  • This just happens.  You see the target but can’t damage it.  Usually, it can’t damage you either.  It does not happen that often though but it does sometimes routinely repeat in the same spot with the same monster.  Casting protection prevents your …
  • Maybe it is fixed starting today.  That was not the case last night.
  • This fails too often in the enhanced client as well.  Some times it targets enemies closer but on a different level,  some times it cycles though every enemy in the area, sometimes it targets enemies at a distance of a 1000 or more, and too often it…
  • By the way to answer your question on profitability if you plan on selling the books and scrolls, the return is just not there. 
  • Two mystics in The royal city sell bone and dirt,  you can also loot dirt from dead earth elementals, for example the New Haven mine.  The two others you have to farm or find sellers using vendor search.  To farm one of the reagents get a reptile sl…
  • Only been playing couple years so don’t know what is so great about a 36% damage increase.  See more than that on a lot of weapons. Never really paid much attention to maces but would think these can have the 70% damage increase I see on other weapo…
  • Know these lines are a pain especially when what you want to attack is on the other side.  But UO is an old game incorporating state of the art technology from the 90’s so probably they are here to stay.  I have one near the house that I end up cros…
  • Enjoyed the invasion event because players worked together to take down the generals but thought it was crap that all the spell books were awarded to players in the first five to ten minutes of an event that went on for another three or four hours o…
  • Put the dexterity arrow up and the intel arrow down then head some place where there is lots of spawn and wack away.  You will be surprised at how quickly it changes compared to skill changes.
  • That would reduce the time it takes to raise inscription so it is probably a no go.  Agree with what you said that’s why I don’t sell scrolls anymore.
  • Yes nothing more boring to than watching your mana regenerate when you are making 8th circle spells except maybe for raising your poisoning skill level if you are a Mage.  Make a cheap suit that maxes out your mana regeneration.  That is about all y…
  • Go to the Painted Cave or the New Haven mine if your not ready for the cave yet and just keep clicking on it as you while out wipe out the spawn.  You can get all the bandages you need from the spawn in the cave.
  • Your talking about water tiles that look better than the ones they have?  Put those on my roof when I built my house because I liked the blue color.  When I tried to walk on the roof I could not so I asked UO why I could not walk on the roof the UO …
  • Have a number of these.  No one buys them.  Don’t really know how to activate it.  I suppose by double clicking.  Guessing if it only lasts 10 seconds you would only activate it when you where actually being attracted and in Wildfire that means you …
  • Not sure I understand what you are proposing but know I would not pay twice as much for it.  No way I would pay $20 a month for this game.  Sorry.
  • I play a mage and got around 200 drops just working mostly the mage room, fire elemental area, sometimes the cemetery and in general just that first part of the dungeon.  I worked with other players in the dungeon to solo lava ele and demon paras as…
  • Apparently the bunny you summon does nothing beyond showing up.  Not sure if the 20 anatomy is worth the 50 drops you need to get this talisman but that appears to be all it is good for.  Can see where those 20 points could be a benefit to a grandma…
  • Seeing these images is getting more common and they stay around for long time.  I see both player and foes that really are not there anymore.  Sometimes I will see a players false image when the player is in another part of the dungeon.  I can targe…
  • If you have extra pieces put them on your vendor.  On my shard it takes awhile but the return is pretty good.  Just remember the event ends soon.  The orc mask looks awesome by the way.  I am keeping that one.
  • If you do a lot of maps by now you should be able to approximate the chest’s position pretty well.  If it is in a guard zone and you can’t solo it without the help of a pet or a summons just take the map home, lock it down where you can see it and w…
  • Great.  Still remember first time I met one it recalled home with me, followed me into the house and killed me there.
  • I don’t know if wrestling provides some sort of passive benefit like parry does.  In pvm I don’t notice any difference between the way my mage without wrestling and with wrestling play.  I get the benefits of Spellbook mods with both characters. Mos…
  • Thanks.  I had always read about adding anatomy to get wrestling rather than adding the actual skill, and wondered how anatomy based wrestling differed from the actual skill or if they were the same.  Thanks for answering that.
  • Never realized that UO provides two different kinds of wrestling offensive and defensive.  Am familiar with wrestling skill and it’s special moves.  So is defensive wrestling, based on anatomy, the same just without the special moves or is it someth…
