Agree with RockStaR about the farming. As long as the game has two classes of players: one that can travel from shard to shard and one that that cannot, most players that can travel will not sell items on the shard on which they were earned; they wi…

Not quite on target but since shard bound went into effect I have seen more players on my shard than I have in previous years. Have other players on low population shards noticed this?
-
Quality items that newer players (1 to 5 years) can use and have a reasonable chance of obtaining. For a mage slayer books, and maybe items like compassions eye and the pendant of the magi. For the current tears of the dragon event an ice slayer s…

Glad I don’t know how to use this.

I am in the Midwest other shards are much closer to me but UO recommended Atlantic about two years ago when I joined. Thought it might do this for everyone on this side of the ocean. That would help explain why Atlantic dominates all the other sha…

Think they tried to implement a new system about a year? Or so ago. Was hard for me to see the small fonts but thought it worked better than the current system when it was not down. It disappeared after a short time being replaced by what it was i…

No. Unless things have changed the game recommends Atlantic if you ask it to recommend a shard.
-
I don’t play on Atlantic but I am fairly new to the game too. I am starting to play at special events now like the current tears of the ice dragon. You can help other players take down the more difficult monsters and get to know some of them in th…

My ninja has gm skills for hiding, ninja, hiding, anatomy, tactics, weapon skill. Healing and stealth are at 90 (healing still gaining but slowly). Have gm parry on a stone. What would I drop to be me a feint parry ninja? Not sure if you would pl…

If you like to play a mage, slayers make a huge difference and a horse or other mount is a must. You will spend a lot of time running. The real key is to get to know the lay out so you always know where you are and the best escape route. Try to p…

Always considered necro a support skill for fighters and mages. Except for wither none of the other direct damage spells appear to be that useful in pvm. If summons won’t fight for a mage, would a necro mage benefit from having negative karma? Th…

Rats, headless ones, mongbats, trolls, ogres, corpsers, and reapers are now just typical nuisance enemy’s common to most every role playing computer game I have played when you are just traveling from one point to another.. My mage can easily defea…

Thanks for the comment. Thought they might be useful in pvp. Have curse in my macro set and will leave it there.

Am I missing something? Just looked at the items a player can obtain for turning in items and really don’t see anything I would have much use for. Only six prizes with the top prize being a spell book without lmc or lrc and only 15% increased spel…

Don.t really see that the team put any effort at all into Christmas this year. I have only been around a couple of years so I really don’t know what the Christmas events are all about but I could see them going on around me and appreciated they wer…

Since this thread appears to be kind of a wish list for 2021 how about bringing back the snow that was on the ground the first year I played. Really enjoyed the way it looked on screen and on maps. Living where I do it only seemed natural that it …

Thanks for the tip on evil omen. Will have to give that a try.

Yes, I meant Revenant. Have been playing about two years and never noticed the way it was spelled. Like to use revenants because I can cast them on the target. I try to paralyze the target first because it sometimes requires several attempts to c…
-
Note one more thing. After the monster focuses on your relevant get in close and cast poison on it. Forgot you had poisoning. Generally with stronger monsters I do this sequence. It is very effective on many monsters: paralyze, relevant, invis.,…
-
That combo should pretty effective pvm maybe even awesome. You can cast rc while flying and do real damage with slayers casting direct damage spells while your targets are fighting the rc. Because of the difficulty in obtaining the reagents a mys…
-
Also, give yourself an edge. Cast fire elemental (my favorite anyway) have it guard and follow you. It’s almost as good as a pet.
-
I play nox necro mage too which is quite similar to yours. I cast protection, reactive armor and magic reflection on myself. Without protection my spells fizzle a lot when the going gets hot. I use the same spell sets you do for the most part but…

Agree 2 minute combat timer should go especially when you where not in a combat situation to begin with. Hate it when I recall home to logout and that message comes up. Also, really dislike that if I try to logon another player when the login scen…

This game appears to have a much older player base than any other game I have played. And, let’s face it, it appears that it is the player housing system is what keeps many of these players in the game. I see far more houses than I do players. Ha…

Was hoping a real Ninja would answer this. I have a Ninja but don’t play him that much. Your build is more of a warrior’s build than a Ninja’s. Ninja’s use smoke bombs to quickly hide and then stealth away, but you don’t have either skill in your…

Would need to know a little more about your template. Hiding and stealth would be required to use some of the attacks. Is your template based on a weapon skill?

Noticed that drops of special items such as mana orbs and forged pardons diminished when sets of 8 fragments started appearing in supply and cache chests. Reduction appeared to be due to more than chance. The probability of good finds in supply ch…
-
Had it not been for this thread I would have requested these be removed from chests since the set of 8 replaces a useful drop I could sell on my vendor, the clean up points for the set of 8 is not worth the effort it takes to get them out of the box…

Agree would be better if gold went straight to the bank especially from mobs. Often when it comes to picking up gold from kills the risk does not justify the reward. Also agree payouts should be better from most run mill mid range monsters. Most …

Agree with Seth many stand alone games are much more rewarding to play. Better stories and game play all around for many of them. If UO really wants to survive, the team should take a longer look at what these offer
