@Urge Thanks. Knowing that there is such a template as "disarm thief" helps in itself. I've never seriously played a thief, so the mechanics will be new to me. Why is it beneficial to have a cursor up before stealing? Typically I would expect a m…

MissE, my guess as to what we experience on the Wiki is not really what Broadsword would want. However they are bound to the infrastructure provided by EA, and have very little control of any part of the website, including the Wiki. I don't know w…

Just noticed this thread while searching for another one of mine. I figured out the answer a long time ago. She was gating from a Runic Atlas. These make gating act as if you were casting with a Gate scroll, lowering the skill necessary. I don't…

It began having problems late April. After about a week, it came back, with the following message on the top of each page:May 4, 2020: The site is experiencing some issues for the first time in many years. Working on it.The domain name loss is new,…

@Malok Have you checked your Stamina when you skip a swing? Perhaps your character is tired.

I do not believe Herding should be included in a category of "useless skills". Like Begging, it is already, at minimum, a role-play skill. In fact, one of my characters has both Begging and Herding. That is not to say Herding could not be used t…

Some monsters should be avoided solo, and greater dragons are definitely included. Large spawns of upper tier and fast moving medium tier monsters are also quite tough for a lone mage. I'm not saying these can't be done, but it will likely require…

@cp0892933 As long as every piece of armor you are wearing is meddable, yes. Doing so is normal for most magical builds, so it should not be too much of a problem. However, if you are wearing non-meddable armor, then only Focus will b active. Myst…

I don't think it is the same for all pets. With 50 taming, I could train cougars and bears. But yesterday on Test it turned out I needed 100 taming to start training a lesser hiryu. I cannot speculate what is between, or above.

(Note that somehow Anicala entered a very long that did not wrap. You have to scroll to read the whole thing.)Sorry, I do not know why your Always Run is not working. I do not use it. Did you try it without Enable Autorun? If you want to always r…

every 10 Focus is 1 SR (stamina regen)every 20 Focus is 1 MR (mana regen) Also Focus (or Imbuing if higher) is the buff skill for Mysticism, just as Eval Int is for Magery. Considering it is fully functional with non-meddable armor, the skill is f…

If I do this, I'd have to forego Ninjitsu. Without Focus or Stealth, there is no practical way to train it past a skill of 55 or so. There are powers which don't require stealth, but they require 80 and 85 skill. Also, I tried this on Test Center.…

@jelinidas Getting a certain drop is only part of the problem. The bigger problem to me is, as Popps pointed out, is the selfish behavior encouraged by the current design. It's no fun to start out with many players in, say, Trinsic, but after the …

Lord_Frodo said: Log onto TS and delete some chars There is only 1 character on test from each of my 2 accounts. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Well, it looks like I was wrong about Focus Attack. I am trying this out on Test Center, but while holding a boomerang and trying to use Focus Attack a message comes up saying that I must be using a melee weapon without a shield. (I wasn't holding…

@SleeperOfWomen Mariah's suggestion is good. You might also try vendor search for "keg of poison". A full keg contains 100 potions. With the keg and empty bottles in your backpack, double-clicking the keg fills an empty bottle. Make sure you buy …

@WornOutYourTool thanks for your comment. It gives me something to think about. Can forms be dispelled? None of my guys have ever experienced it, in any form. Concerning Horrific Beast specifically, I've brought my Necro Poisoner to past GM now,…

It occurred to me I had not checked the relationship between Bushido and the ninja forms. I went to Test Center. As expected, none of the Bushido "spells" work in Animal Form. However, the Honor::Perfection mechanic still functions normally. Tha…

After my subconscious chewed on this a while, it occurred to me you did not mention the race of the tester. If he is human, he has 20 RT skill via Jack of All Trades even when the skill gump reports 0.
-
@Arroth_Thaiel Thank you for quick response. I was still able to update main post. My ninja does not yet have 90 Ninjitsu, so a mastery ability did not occur to me. Is it as limited as the Animal Form transformations? The forms under "Heritage …

I find it useful to have an inscriber. He can make rune books, spell books, and spell scrolls for your other characters. But with 6 characters per shard, you can have both a Necro mage and another mage with inscription. (Magery isn't even require…

Very interesting stuff. Thanks for the extensive analysis!

While you have extra skill points due to not being max on everything yet, there is no reason not to raise Wrestling, Anatomy, and Strength all at once. Later, when you need the hit points, set Wrestling to go down. For formula, see the bottom of th…

Welcome to UO, @Neptune ! One of the nice things about UO is that you can continually evolve your character. If something isn't quite right, you let one skill drop (or put it on a Soulstone) and replace it with another. Also, there are a huge num…

I like the concept, but there are some tweaks I would make to the build. First, Magery is not a good fit, in that its use will disarm you. Well you could limit yourself to only spell-channeling weapons, but IMO Chivalry would be a better fit. Sec…

@Maximus_Neximus Actually for 3-6 I did mean Hit Chance Increase and Defense Chance Increase, which I believe are the two capabilities inherent in weapon skills. I've learned to think of Tactics as "more damage" and swords (et al) as "likelihood to…
-
@Mariah Yeah, that sure looks like them.

I may have figured out why sometimes the gain is accelerated and sometimes not. The difference lies in humanity, or more specifically their racial JoAT trait. Jack of All Trades gives human 20 shadow points in every skill. "Shadow" because it…

Thank you, @Maximus_Neximus . Does anyone know what the correct equivalencies are?

@Popps A lot of artifacts are randomly generated. Yes, there are a number of documented ones, both found as loot and crafted. But the large majority of them just happen to have more than 5 properties and/or have values higher than can be imbued. …
