  • The Khal Ankur Champ Spawn in Khaldun, Fel, had a 100% chance to drop 6 120s (12 if Protected), but they were Shard Bound. It happened again this last October, just most people didn't notice.
  • EV Llamas have always been around in UO. Remember seeing my first one around 1997/98. About a 1% chance to summon an EV Llama when casting EV. EVs used to be a LOT nastier though. They could inflict DP, Curse, and Mana Drain with their melee attack …
  • Arnold7 said: Yes, poison strike disappointing overall.  Don’t think having the poisoning skill affects the damage it does either. With 60.0+ Poisoning skill, Poison Strike has a 3-9% chance to inflict Poison status. 9% at GM Poisoning sk…
  • Pawain said: Call out in chat for help with the spawn? Great pet skilling on the last levels. Run consume and the pet can be surrounded and live. I have received a primer III from Serado. I have seen two of us finish it when no one else comes…
  • Poison Strike was actually nerfed shortly after AoS. It used to cast a lot faster, and so was pretty powerful in PvP for awhile. Honestly though, Slayer spellbooks should apply to Poison Strike. It's the only direct Poison damage spell in game (Pois…
  • Bilbo said: Eodon SlayersEodon Tribe gives double damage against Eodon tribal people, causing 1.5x damage from other creatures found in the Valley of Eodon. Dinosaur and Myrmidex slayers give double damage.Dinosaur SlayerMymridex SlayerEodon…
  • Wamap's Bone Earrings with 40% Dragon Turtle Protection is the best thing against him. He has no Slayer. The Tyrannosaurus Rex doesn't have a Slayer either (neither Eodon, Dinosaur, or Reptile).
  • Wouldn't mind seeing a screenshot of the Garg version of Yukio's Glass Earrings.
  • They deserve to die. They suck your soul through your anus (now you know why the event is called "Soulless Seduction"), and to defeat them you have to trick them into bowing to pour the liquid from their head. That's the actual mythology of the Kapp…
  • Don't forget about the Armor Pierce debuff. Victim takes +10% Damage for 3 seconds.My Disco/Tamer's Fire Beetle has RC+AP for debuffing bosses. Combine that with my Death Ray Tamer/Mage's 120 Disco+CB Triton, and the sheer debuffage makes bosses mel…
  • DeadThing5 said: So, I'm probably beating a dead horse here, but I'm curious about the reasoning behind having Slayer properties on Necromancy Books, but not having the property affect Necromancy Spells. Is there a reason at all? If there is,…

  • For Humans, the Nocturne Earrings (Night Sight) are great. Wamap's Bone Earrings can be useful if you hunt in Eodon, especially the 40% Dragon Turtle Protection ones when soloing the Dragon Turtle with a Sampire.
  • Here's a PvM benefit to the Wildfire Ostard over the Bane Dragon. Wildfire Ostards are not subject to the Crimson/Platinum Dragon "Dracorage" ability that makes Draconic pets go wild (some other higher Dragons used to have this ability, such as Skel…
  • Tested it on TC. Wildfire Ostards are indeed vulnerable to Bird Slayer. Bird Slayer only deals +100% damage though, and is only available through Talismans and Invasion Spellbooks.Bane Dragons are affected by Dragon Slayer/Reptile Slayer, with Drago…
  • Gwen said: They have pack instinct. So if you will NOT train them and attack smth in a group - wil be funny.  Training to 5 slot leads to loosing pack instinct. So choose wisely.  Also having 1 bard in party will give you all MR and HPR you…
  • Chivalry, Bushido, and Ninjitsu are all Martial Magic skills. They're designed to be used in tandem with a Weapon skill, for the most part. Unlike Arcane Magic skills (Magery/Necro/SW/Myst), which are not dependent upon weapons for the most part (on…
  • Yeah, i did a bunch of Ranger's Hoard (Trammel) T-Maps, and didn't get a single Discord SoA. Got a few Tracking SoAs from it though. Need a Discord SoA to boost my GGS gains on one of my full Bards.
  • I like to camp my Elf char with GM Detect Hidden/GM Tracking near the clicky (gotta walk within 1 tile of me to get to clicky, super high passive Detect chance then), and spam Reveal spell. Funny as hell. Ivenor said: Dunno the Thief name, bu…
  • Slasher of Veils also drops an asinine amount of Gargoyle Gear, which can be pretty good Legendaries with some Luck. Don't even have to key for him, and he respawns almost instantly. He's a total pain in the ass to kill though. His screenwide Stun+c…
  • Pawain said: Hardest to find really nice necklace and earrings.  The other pieces are easy to find and vendors they sell garg armor cheaper than others. My Throwers use the Garg Earring variation of the Mace & Shields from Blackthorn'…
  • Arnold7 said: Have not tried a melee weapon on mine.  Throwing does not qualify to use best skill weapons.  Maybe, they might play better using melee weapons instead of throwing weapons. Garg Melee does not perform as well as Human/Elf me…

  • Depends on what you're fighting. If doing a champ spawn with casters, Resist is great for keeping you from getting Mana Vamped/Paralyzed at inopportune moments. Against certain Necro casters, it'll also help you from one shotting yourself with a sur…

  • My Chiv/Macer could solo any Paragon in there, and even took on a Para WW and Para AOL at same time and won, twice. Gotta love Stagger for these "Treasures of " Paragons. The fact that they're immune to Life Leech/Drain gives templates other than Sa…
  • Bit of a necro, but this is also applying to player vetting as well now. My Macer's Paroxy Swampy died, so i went to resurrect it with my Tamer/Mage on another account, and i keep getting "You must wait just a few moments before resurrecting that." …
  • Honestly, he probably needs 5 Cus to get the job done fast enough. Cu Sidhes are really not optimal for the mobs in Ice Dungeon, due to the mob's high Cold Resist and Cus dealing 50% Cold damage. White Wyrms have 80-90 Cold Resist, and 40-50 Energ…
  • Used my Disco/Tamer with his 120 Chiv+AI 100% Fire Crimson Drake in there for a bit. Killed stuff fast, only the Paragons took awhile to kill due to taking half damage from pets. Then i took my Macer/Paladin in there with a 100% Fire Dragon Slayer M…
