Ahh - it was Fogsbane's post on Stratics: "I think i have these right - i used item id but the stat reveal never 'stuck' and for each piece i had to constantly re-id cause it didn't keep being shown and i couldn't remember. Guarding - DCI 6 Accura…

I'll find out Friday morning if I can place a house on Ice Island. Hopefully they "zoned" some more areas to build.
-
Thank you for the verbal help during the game and also for the free rune book to my Warrior character, Ian

The BOTs don't really bother me because they increase the respawn time and quantity of the mobs. I usually play am mystic-mage-spellweaver and bury myself in the midst of BOT squad and cast area spells and summons. The mobs have to attack the BOTs …
-
I enjoyed the Void Pool during the early weeks on ATL and got tons of hats because the large number of BOTs kept the spawn racing along. I just got in the middle of the BOTs and cast area damage spells. When most of the BOTs dried up, I turned to p…

I'm pleased with the Wildfire hue on my Orc Reiver - especially w/seven pumpkin cannon. Have two charges left so I will xshard to two other shards and try out the Demonic hue and maybe the Black one.
-
The Wildfire hue looks awesome on the HMS Hungry Hippo! Still 2 charges left so I can xshard them to re-hue two more of my Orc Reivers.
-
The Winter Spur event had tons of BOTs but you could run in between them and pick off the outlying spawn or jus spam Area spells. On ATL they are all bunched together at the entrance and It's like wading through quicksand just to try to walk past t…

I just did one Beacon and 4 Dread Pirates in Tokuno Legends this evening, I did a "drive-by" on 2 pirate ships w/o Dreads, didn't use cannon but just killed the crew and got one hat drop from each. No reason to waste fuse cords on non-Dread pirate …
-
The hat drop from Merchants and non-Dread pirates is so poor the only reason I was attacking them was for the 1030 c & L in chests. I won;t bother attacking them again until the qty changes.
-
Now I don't know whether to try another shard or keep trying ATL and rescue my char stuck inside Void Pool
-
Aye, and all them hats in pack
-
Kyronix said: Active participation is required in the Void Pool to be eligible for a hat drop. Fighting, healing, and taking damage all count. Nice! Thank you It would be nice to just sit back a bit and Heal & rez.
-
On Baja - I saw no Beacons around Zento. Did attack and kill crew of 2 merchantmen and 2 pirates - total one hat. Did 2 Dreads w 3 crew - 2 hats from crew and 5 named dread pirate hats. I was after a Beacon but Kyronix announce maintenance soon so …
-
A pirate I just boarded had 30 crac/lobsters in chest, so both merchants & Pirate have seafood aboard. Will make the fishermen happy:) And those that don't fish can sell or gift to one who does. 5-6 man orc crew deaded but no hats.
-
I wear Luck and rub statue for every hunt except Blackthorn and pirating. Since pirating will be a large part of the upcoming Event, I will modify my gear.
-
Love the new paints from BUCs - only tried the green and it's a very Butch looking olive drab in CC I hope the swords don't stay "cannot be repaired". Drop rate for Beacons is just right as is the lobster/crab counts on Merchant ships. I'm happy so…
-
Great treatise on ship & crew! On ATL I had my Orc ship HMS Hungry Hippo permission set to Guild for crew. Some low-life looted all my ammo, lesson learned so now change permissions after each cruise. Plus I always drydock flagships now for fear…
-
I use an Orc Slayer spellbook and spam chain lightning on Orc crews and my archers/throwers use 100% Fire Orc Slayer glaive/magic shortbow with Hit lightning on it. If a Necro in crew, I animate the dead Orcs. Both my ATL and Legends crews have one…

Please add a "Privateer" title to rewards
-
Grimbeard said: People see crew I see possible cargo That's true. Once we figure out who/what drops "pirate hats" I may exercise tough love and exterminate the smuggler crew as well!
-
I "Roleplay" that every merchantman I attack (which is every single one I see) is really a smuggler and I scuttle their vessel and "confiscate" all their illegal goods. I do have a soft spot, I seize the ingots but leave them the ore...

Instead of UO Store purchases, I believe the new rewards should be from the Bucs Pirate exclusively, thus rewarding those who put in the work on the Seven Seas. I like all the suggestions above! I'm always asking for a Jolly Roger flag for ships o…
-
I'd like to see a Jolly Roger pirate flag that can be flown from center mast. Or an enchanted ramrod or cannon that does extra damage. I have 6 pumpkin cannon from original Halloween event. I use them as bow guns on 6 different orc ships. If they of…

Cinderella said: no, add them to the rewards at bucs den. shoot your cannons at plunderbeacons and earn your own pumpkin cannon and accessories Yes. Make some of the rewards Bucs Pirate only or make the cargos worth extra "pirate hat" drop…
