I play two pirate crews: On Legends I use Necro-Archer in wraith form wearing Repond Cameo with a HLD/SSI/HML shortbow and a Mystic-Mage-Tamer w/Mage mastery Unicorn on two computers. When attacking a beacon I gate and additional GM archer and Mys…

Pawain said: Hint for repairing cannons. Hold a +60 hammer to use a lot fewer ingots. Use your carpenter to repair the ship if it is heavily damaged. Can my archer-mage hold the +60 hammer and get the benefit or doe sit need to be someone…

Great write-up! Reminder to the landlubbers tackling a Beacon for the first time - unlike other vessels, they do fire back - and will do serious damage to your ship! Make sure you have some wood planks and cut-up cloth in your cargo hold to repair a…

I'd like to see a reward item/UO store item that is geared toward high seas play. Something like a ramrod that adds 50% reload speed or a match that adds 20% to damage to cannon. And of course like others have asked for, a Jolly Roger flag for ship…

On ATL my Pirate character has 683K doubloons w/64 mythic cargos stored in bank and my Legends character has 330K doubloons w/72 mythics in bank. My Origin Pirate is a latecomer - only 89K doubloons so will be hitting the cap or buying some cocoan…

"Forward Right" another new command for me. I was using 2 different commands - Forward then Right. Thank you again Petra!

Tried morphing a garg shield over to a blank pirate - won't let me - says diff racial items. Where is soulforge on TC1 so that I can try to alter a blank pirate shield to make a garg destination shield.

Petra_Fyde said: TimSt said: @ Larisa, I used a gargoyle ship because you can operate two cannons at the same time if you are soloing. Why stop at 2? Charge them all and fire a broadside! (start charging on each cannon, it will ke…

I blew 50 bucks couple years back to buy the wedding set from UO store just to get 2 "Top Hats" for a Steampunk look Only good for pimping around town before morph potion. Now I will have to decide what headgear to use to morph them! I also like t…

I would love to have your help! If you need anything there let me know, I'll help where I can! Thanks for the offer Larisa - I use 2 computers when on a ship - a Tamer with a Magery Mastery pet that can jump aboard opposing ships and one a arch…

Shame about mid-march, I was getting hyped up for March 1st. Being marooned at home during this pandemic, UO is a welcome diversion from reality.

"The Pirates Life may not fit into those but I bet the other three will." I'm hoping it will be a repeat of the Rising Tides event - with new rewards at the BUCs Pirate - so I'm out collecting cargo again!

ZekeTerra said: @ Xris if you had negative karma the black one is impossible to see in your packpack, at least in EC. I don't recall seeing a message when I received the gift and even the most talented thief can't steal it b4 it gets in your…

What Drakelord said: If you have multi accounts you can take this part again. Also this quest is on every shard and they are not shard bound. I gathered 20+ on the low pop shards that I had xfer shields for, using throwaway chars with negative karm…

I've been 'beachcombing" the CotD every since it was created ( I own the Legends Abyss house). A bag or giftbox with anything in it cannot spawn in there. Sometimes the boxes (400 points) or candy canes (2500 points) appear but mostly it is just the…

I got 3 dark ones and one positive karma Cupids I like the negative ones better, the postive karma one looks too "cartoonish"

I have 4 tamer/mystics and 1 tamer/mage. One the mystics I find Stone Form very helpful and love being able to heal and cure and remove curse with a single spell - Cleansing Winds. The tamer mage I use with Mage Mastery pet for pirates and blunderb…

The pump one looks cool but not for 400 SOVs - but I do have a barnyard diorama but alas a well is already included in that set. Thank you for sharing the PICs Larisa!

I sacked 4 merchantmen (Queen's Customs agent here) and discovered tons of contraband in illegal ingots, exotic woods, and hides from endangered species - all of course was confiscated in the name of the Crown! Then I sunk a beacon and scuttled a pi…

Pawain said: An island with Mobs sounds fun to me. I'd rather not have to repair my ship every 10 minutes in battles. Also would be happy if there are new rewards at the Pirate. Ditto! I'm starting to "bank" my cargo points again in a…

When I saw the name of the March event, I pulled my ship my out of drydock and went hunting yesterday in Tokuno waters. I recall Kyronix mentioning that the Bucs Pirate would be getting new rewards sometime in the future so I am stockpiling cargos a…

Radst - what shard are you on?

I dug out my Sorc Dungeon mage book rewards - alas, I have a Flame Slayer +25 damage SB but no Ice Slayer

CovenantX said: If none of those deco items have any functionality, these rewards are lacking quite a lot compared to the ones we had about a month ago with "the Three" event in deceit. The spellbook 'looks' good, but it's useless in pvp &am…
