  • Mervyn said: Brittle just means it can’t be PoFed, doesn’t lose durability faster than imbued. This is a a common misconception.     Hey, why aren't clean rings & bracelets able to be PoF'd?
  • It's a tool-tip issue. pretty sure it only occurs on objects that change position or animate, but don't highlight when you mouse-over them. easy to replicate with doors, if you single click a door, When the tool-tip appears open the door and those …
  • King_Greg said: CovenantX said: King_Greg said:   Monster drops 25 items when killed Solo.  How many items do you think it drops in a party of 10 that Stays in party? Loot intensity? How many items do you think it drops total wh…
  • King_Greg said: CovenantX said:  Dropping party has no effect on the amount of items generated, that's based on how many players earn looting rights... (also based on the mob/boss)*   All dropping party does is allow each player to open…
  • King_Greg said: This was actually very false. I am not sure  if it is still true or not. But at one point(when loot went global) you could fight a monster that normally had ~25 items on it with a party of 10, break party before it died, wait o…
  • TimSt said: Horde - Large group of people Hoard - Large group of items Either is relevant if the chest is not meant to be solo'd.    Except every map title refers to the type of loot in the chest.   Anyway, based on my experience so far …
  • Well, as long as one player in party earns looting rights everyone in that players party can open & loot the corpse, But it doesn't mean everyone has earned looting rights... say for example a Bard running peacemaking songs, won't earn rights un…
  • Pawain said: That would reduce the incentive to do the Peerless content.  Most of the time you just get resources.   T hunting is not supposed to replace all the other content!   Yeah...  That's what Blackthorn dungeon is for !
  • Bilbo said: But if you drop party like the OP said doesn't that take away the party boost?   Dropping party has no effect on the amount of items generated, that's based on how many players earn looting rights... (also based on the mob/boss…
  • I'd be curious how often any of the peerless' (ML/SA) are done on a weekly basis game-wide. I'd be willing to bet (excluding EM Event mob templates & Navrey) that they're done less than 50x a week game-wide.    it's 100% becasue the loot is f***…
  • I was one of the people at the unscheduled M&G on LS when she said that in response to me saying the only thing I've used in quite sometime was UOLoop, she said "I use it too". It had to do with a governor's election that had passed without any…

  • @Kyronix  the map title Horde should be changed to Hoard, should it not? also, the loot seems to have been downgraded, so far... what's with the additional layers of RNG when it comes to 'chest quality'? and what if anything causes the RNG …
  • I had to drop music & discord & 20 points in focus on my T-hunter. the results of the 3 Trove Maps I've done on TC1 within the last ~30-45mins. 1 Malas Artisan Trove map = ~57k gold, ~29-34 of each small gem (new gem bag looks pretty good)…
  • tbh I always liked pvping on boats... but only the legacy boats.  The High Seas ones are too big for pvp imo, people can literally run from one side of their ship to the other and be out of range, so they'll basically never die....  and scuttling …
  • Ah yes, good job on the repair bench indeed.
  • Is there an option for the repair bench to "Fill from container"? for example, if you craft 50 repair deeds, can you have them automatically taken from your pack or a bag, into the repair bench,   or do you have to click & drag each individual r…
  • if you count certain global events there are three. The Devs of this game tend fo go out of their way to make sure things are inconsistent A F., they have done so since the beginning pretty much.
  • I haven't done DH or any other ML peerless since the Pet Revamp. But, a wammie using an undead slayer AI weapon & talisman, destroys changlings once they turn into you, cause they become vulnerable to the undead slayer. It would be nice to brea…
  • The problem is, those templates are OP defensively, their offense isn't any better than a tank-mage.   Nervestrike does no more than Armor Ignore, most of the time it does less, but it has a paralyze, and obviously it takes far more skill points. C…
  • As long as pets require taming & lore after they've been leveled up, there is no reason to have any pet capped lower than 5/5 followers. Even 5/5 pets aren't that great in pvp, they're for interrupts/utility more than anything, cause the damage …
  • Mervyn said: Covenant #1 sounds like that would further devide having one suit for pvm and another for pvp. Which I don’t think is a good idea.  You already have 100% casting focus on pvm with protection spell. You already have mana leech wit…
  • Mervyn said: I used to condemn people for using speed hack on CC, but when they say they are only doing it to keep up with EC running speed. What do I say?   Ask why they used a speed hack before EC existed. Cookie said: Nik…
  • Kyronix said: Guess you'll have to wait and see - as I've mentioned we've got a deployment plan for whips, very exciting stuff!      Hopefully you factored in the failure rate of reforging for what you want (100% elemental damage / 70%…
  • KHAN said: I agree with the fact that "clean" jewels aren't powderable. (  @ Bleak, @ Kyronix  clean and prized SHOULD be! )But, have found that clean jewelry tends to last a lot longer than "antique" ones. Just my observation.   Sure cl…
  • Ducan_IronWeaver said: CovenantX said: it's even worse when you get a clean jewelry piece because you know you get nothing out of the rarity of it...  Anyway, How is this still a thing? Have you ever sold or bought high end jew…
  •  @Mervyn   I had the same thought when I read that part of the transcript as well.but, the devs don't play UO enough to notice these things, so it really didn't surprise me. Trade forums seems to suggest Brittle is only a negative if it's c…
  • perhaps off topic but.... don't forget to add whips somewhere in the next publish. It'd also be nice to see the multiple types of whips listed in the 'Special's book" instead of just the barbed whip listed 3 times under Whirlwind Attack, and the cor…
  • You don't even need to use telekinesis to trigger the trap,   the trap cannot kill you if you have 100/100+ HP & 70 physical/fire resistance.    Siege might be an exception to that, (I haven't done a t-map there since wands froze you in-place wh…
  • It's a third party UO program that happens to share the same name as the popular gaming platform. It and many others like it used to be something people would be banned for using.UO should return to those days of banning people who play using 'illeg…
  • My tamer literally only feeds pets to bond them that's it... 120/120 taming/lore I doubt feeding/not feeding is the issue here.   I have had 2 paroxysmus swamp dragons despawn while farming in shame a couple years ago though, both times my charact…
