  • The first couple of treasures events had pretty high chest drop rate. Over time that has noticeably been reduced. As I understand it, if a mob can drop a treasure chest, the paragon version can drop a chest instead of a map. But many times I have fo…

  • So far I have only bought the corrupted paladin vambraces. When the durability is 255 applying PoF gives the message "this item cannot be improved further" & not the message that PoF cannot be applied. The balron armor which can be PoF gives the…
  • The idea has been brought up around a half a dozen times on this forum only to be ignored. I brought it up twice myself very early on. The developers do not seem to want to put in the effort to encourage co-operation, just to punish bad behavior (af…
  • Hate spectral sword mobs. They take forever to kill because of the parry parry parry they do. Paragons are not even worth killing if you can avoid it. I forgot about them from the previous Deceit event. And the paragon executioners (from the first…
  • It has been a looooong time since we had someone who would regularly feedback to the players from the development team. Anyone remember Mr. Tact? As I remember he did a pretty consistent job of this. I remember a game breaking issue in the game that…
  • keven2002 said: My playstyle is to maximize my drops per hour (not everyone has 8 hours a night to devote to UO) so I will go kill wherever I need to which includes ramps because that's where most people become overwhelmed and leave things t…
  • For blacksmithed items, get a +60 ancient hammer and make 180 skill repair deeds (you will hardly ever fail a repair). For the rest getting below 20ish durability can often result in a failure (maybe 30%?). I am lazy, I normally wait until I get a w…
  • There is one down in the 1st floor of the last area of Covetous in the chapel. I am pretty sure I remember using in in the first few years of the game to resurrect. But I think they turned it off in later years. It no longer works - I just tried it.…
  • The ancient wurm and the wyverns do not have tags. But they do in fact count toward drops. I have killed the wyverns on 3rd without tags and gotten drops. Last week I think. Paragon ancient wurm will still spawn. I have spawned them after the last c…
  • McDougle said: We simply need a central market accessible by all shards  At this point in the game and it's current population either make everything accessible to everyone regardless of shard you are on or consolidate everyone to 3 shards (…
  • Gather items on one shard, then transfer them to Atlantic to make money to bring back to home shard (or buy items to take home). Yeah, the game economy is totally not broken from the way it was intended. Devs you might as well admit there is close…
  • When there are decent rewards to be bought, the event drops normally stay around 2-3 million each nearly until halfway through the event. That is even when there are plenty of mobs & a decent drop rate. The prices normally do not drop really low…
  • Kaz said: Glad someone was paying attention.
  • My first aid belts (the original ones) still do not work correctly even after the "fix"...
  • Rom said: On Catskills, at 8am on a weekday there are about 10 people running around collecting eggs while simultaneously zero in dungeon Destard. Pretty poor state for the event to be in. Yup. I often have half the dungeon to myself. I ki…

  • dvvid said: Plenty of great people on ATL who are extremely helpful as well. Generalizations like this do not help the community. Neither does about once a week someone coming from Atlantic asking in chat why our shard sux and why is i…
  • Anyone tried a fencer on the Destard paragons? I tried a pierce build on the Hythloth paragons and it did not do crap for helping with the balrons. It was sorta effective on the elder gazers. Since that I just assumed Destard paragon reptiles would …
  • McDougle said: It takes my two tamers about 15  to kill the gd paragons is the time commitment worth the "increased" drop points?? No no no.. The massive amount of hp combined with the pet damage nerf to paragons makes it take forever. …
  • Merus said: It would seem like you could code any paragon with more than 600/700 strength or 160 bard difficulty to give a guaranteed drop to everyone on the top attackers list (basically looting rights).  All the paragons that are avoided…
  • Arctic Ogre Lord paragons were hitting for 75 on a full 70 Pac_Man said: If they made it so paragons always dropped a fey item I’d see a whole latta teamwork, communication, and people acualy in destard. This suggestion has been made mul…
  • Sarkon said: So instead of just singling out accounts doing that and banning them, they modify events to make it more difficult for the regular person.  Brilliant. Yup. Been that way for a very long time. I really do not think that the pa…

  • It's mainly about quantity. If you are not killing several mobs a minute, you are going to see low drop rates. The re-spawn rate now is too low. We can clear most of 1st, all of second pretty quick with the exception of a few GD / SW paragons... the…
