For mages the invasion event with all the slayer book drops. Would have liked to have seen the books distributed over more than the first five or ten minutes of a three to five hour event, but by the end of the event had learned how to get them.

Sorry Popps, don’t agree with you on the automatic price setting. Representing a nonbalron item as balron bone armor is a fraud and should be regulated in game. But for pricing, that’s the buyer’s responsibility. Sellers have the freedom to price…

With only 5 items to choose from in the pack, I think the seller of these items did not intend to cheat anyone. Could be the seller just miss priced the items. Could be the seller just for whatever reason wanted different prices on the items. Cou…

Magery, eval intel, mediation, resist spells, and spellweaving is a good start. Raise magery, eval intel, and spellweaving above 100 when you can afford scrolls. Do the inscription training in New Haven to get an undead slayer Spellbook. Once you…

NPC prices vary widely on some items. When I was collecting hides, by accident mostly, I found an NPC paying probably two or three times or more more for them than any other NPC. When I was collecting bottles I found most NPC’s selling empty bottl…

Just create a character on shards you like and look around. Would think a spot would not be to hard to find. Could be wrong about that. I would do a gargoyle because they can fly.

Atlantic has the most players, and is the most crowded with houses. I play on Great Lakes. It has fewer players than Atlantic, but during the day, and early to moderately late evenings, you can usually find enough other players to do events. I am…

Stand-alone games like Zelda have had AI (similar) help like this since I played the legend of Zelda on my Nintendo 64 over 20 years ago. It didn’t play the game for you, it just provided some basic information on how something worked, and maybe wh…

Game has been erratic more than usual lately. Have not had that happen yet. But the other night when fighting a dread pirate every time I tried to switch masteries the dread pirate’s paper doll displayed. Worked ok afterwards but during the battl…

Agree the time it takes to do the higher waves does not justify doing them if it’s hats you’re after. But, when you get to those waves it’s no longer about hats. Your playing the game.

Lag and jerky movement in the Void seems to be the norm. Usually, when I go in after I log on, if anything is going on in the Void I can hardly move. Usually it smooths out so I can play in there but it takes awhile. Last couple days Void has bee…

I started playing around Halloween five years ago with a EJ account when I was in my seventies. I had been reading about UO for probably over 20 years, but the two week trial period, the subscription fee, and some of the rules players had to abide …

Yes that’s the way it works. There is a delay unless you do something that causes it to update. Think starting a new map updates it too.
-
It’s old game with an older player base. Agree hats are not that hard to get for those of us that still can play in the void, or do beacons. But not everyone that enjoys the game falls into that category anymore. Also, it’s not fair to players wi…

Can’t see anyone on Atlantic buying or selling many plunderin hats. Just went through 31 pages of competitively priced hats the seller described as plunderin hats. They all looked like plunderin hats but funny thing the UO description only identif…

Take an item out, stack your item and put the item you took out back in. Has worked that way in EC for chests at least the last three years or so and my backpack as well. Know it’s a little odd but that’s the way it works. Would guess it would al…

Maybe on Atlantic you can get them for less than 1 million. Trans books go for about 4 million on my shard and I think the blue ones maybe about a million. Have not priced the blue ones for awhile though I know they sell for less than the trans. …

Would like to see both books made available to players again, or as player rewards. Don’t quite understand UO’s philosophy of making routine things players need available from just a few players that were playing seven years ago. See this kind of …

Been doing Jukas lately to build up fame and karma. Got a map off one the other night so they do drop them. But not very often. At events involving paragons, chests seem to drop more often, or maybe there are just a lot more paras. Greater mongb…

Current reward system like the UO store discriminates against newer players placing things they can really use, that most other players already have, well out of reach. Not surprising since maintaining the existing player base and not adding to it …

I get this message at least a few times when it gets really busy. I try to cast a spell only to get the message I am already casting one. Always thought UO just could not keep up in real time with the action. Really, think servers really are stru…

In the Void I use mostly chain lightening or meteor swarm because I can aim those spells using the mouse cursor and they don’t damage players or pets. The automatic targeting system becomes entirely random when things get busy so I don’t use it anym…

Seems ok on Great Lakes earlier this morning.

Was a mage. What I wanted to be. Secondary skill set went from scribe and alchemist to wrestler and fighter with tactics and anatomy, to mystic mage, to poisoner, and finally settled on treasure hunting. Grandmastered all skills as I did not have…

That’s usually a terrain message. Maybe try different locations if you have not already. If it still does not work put it back in the locker or lock it down on the floor of your house where you will see it when you log on. Good luck with it.
-
Had one a couple months ago I believe was under a house. I spawned right next to the wall I was digging at. Maybe it still has to be in range to spawn. I have 100% cartography so I can be four tiles away from the chest and still dig it up.

Looks like an action in EC. Thanks Tim will set that up. That will beat logging out and in any day.

Usually there is nothing else alive on screen when this happens with treasure chests. But often I can see the vegetation in the first case. In the dungeon case it’s a bug that results from picking something up and messing up the mouse somehow. Us…

You often have to be right on top of the chest to loot it and sometimes on the other side. Most common if vegetation or something you dropped is right next to the chest. Also, sometimes when you to loot something it gets trapped in your hand. You…
