One word -- imbuing. Well, this allows a second word as well -- reforging. With Imbuing, crafted items, as well as a number of looted items, can be customized with up to 5 properties. The process is not random, and unlike enhancing with another m…

Searching for pets by species would be a nice feature. Just have it be a separate search category unless specifically selected. That way the feature can avoid adding to the load an often-stressed database. Being able to lore them would likely comp…

I agree with the suggestions of @Seth . @Mariah does listen; I know because I'm one of the players whose info was added to the Wiki. She (and Broadsword in general) can only do so much, though. It seems that EA is backward in making updates to i…

It looks like it would be a fun build. One difference in how I would do it is to be happy at 100 Spirit Speak, and use the extra points elsewhere. You would add more to your Necromancy abilities by upping Necromancy itself as opposed to minor gain…

@Arroth_Thaiel (minor point)Concerning:80 Magery (Cast Gate from Scrolls, cast Invisi as needed)While I agree 80 would be very handy, I'll just note that with a Runic Atlas, scrolls would be unnecessary in easily casting Gate with 80 skill. Using G…

I agree, and I'll slide in a vendor suggestion I made a while ago. Some things, like horses, you only want to buy one at a time. And that is all the vendor will sell to you. After the purchase, he restores his inventory fairly quickly. Good desi…

@weteamsteve Uh, de-surprise yourself, and start a thread about a specific aspect of spellweaving you find fun, powerful, or hard to understand.

? I thought characters did autolog after a certain amount of time with no motion or typing,. I know when running my training macro, it warns me that character will log out in one minute if I don't do anything. And it happens. I don't know why be…

@Mariah Not everyone will read the macro information pages in the order you would like. Many will get to a given page via a search (UO Wiki or Google). Thus "repeated information" can be useful in forming a robust information archive. I wrote the…
-
@Mariah thank you! It is really great to start getting official documentation on making and using macros. Since I only use the Enhanced Client, I can only intelligently discuss it. I suggest something like the paragraph below be appended to the M…
-
@Mariah Is there a corresponding page with a full description of enhanced client macros? The Creating Macros page is very general. How would a power user know what the hundreds of Actions do?

@MissE While I haven't done this particular event, it is likely the town criers will be aware of what is happening where.

I gathered some more information: Noting that the Origin armoire was of normal quality, I thought, "Ah hah! Maybe the Baja one is exceptional." So I crafted an exceptional oak one, and tested that. Nope, still auto-shuts. That's when I went to B…

@Norry Good luck!
-
Most of the minor craftable "artifacts" are easily made via imbuing using common ingredients. I won't ever bother crafting those. Why use rare ingredients to craft something I can achieve better results for via imbuing and common ingredients? As …
-
@MissE since blacksmithy is the only crafting skill that requires you to be near an anvil for some operations, could that be the problem? Sometimes the error messages are less than helpful.

I had a tamer friend compare the info from two GT golems. One made by a character with GM tinkering and the other by a char with 50 tinkering. Here are the stats: 100 Tink 50 Tink Hits 591 191 Stamina…

Pawain said: Where will Herding fit? Well, I'm confused, and apparently ignorant. I had thought 720 was the absolute cap for the sum of one's skills, yet you show 779. I know with skills on jewelry and spell books, you can go higher. F…
-
Pawain said: But you want us to need another skill to be a tamer. Makes no sence. I don't want you to do anything. It was simply a question -- if Herding added benefits to a tamer, would you modify your build? Without Herding, your tamer…
-
@Drakelord I dislike the idea of raising the skill cap. As a skill-based (as opposed to level-based) MMO, our creativity is formed in the constraints on our characters. Sure they could give everybody 800 or even 1000 total points, but then what's t…

If my success rate with Vampiric Embrace is unusual, it occurs to me that it could be an undocmented bonus of having a focused build. It is not the general success rate bonus which @Alazi attributes to the Casting Focus property. I know this becau…
-
@Alazi You are correct; necro mastery had no effect on the success of Vampiric Embrace (VE). I ran the macro of my previous post both with and without it active. The macro has 10 iterations, and VE succeeded 40% to 50% of the time either way. Als…
-
@Alazi Thank you for the response and info. Regarding Conduit, the necromancer himself can be the "living target", making it a player-based AoE (pbAoE) debuff. Also, check again and you can see that the target can be a physical location, not neces…
-
@Urge thank you for your feedback. Discord does sound attractive. Is there a downside to discording an animal or monster prior to beginning the taming process? I would think if it were discorded, taming would be smoother. OTOH, if it does reduce…

Pawain said: You can write Bardic just fine you just can not put a space and any letter after Bardic. I do not know why. ... Bardic has to be the last word... Maybe whoever wrote this filter is afraid someone will start a word beginni…
-
@Lord_Frodo if that's it, it's pretty sophomoric. Even actual sophomores would role their eyes. At a guess, EA supplies a problematic word filter to all its subsidiaries, and they are just expected to use it no matter how ludicrous some of its …
-
This is not an important issue, I just found it puzzling. Perhaps "bardic" is a bad word in some non-English language. But if so, why was the guy a "Bardic Guildmaster"?
-
@Petra_Fyde Thank you for the very informative and interesting video. You make a great case for Spellweaving as part of a T-Hunter's arsenal. In your build, why bother with 100 magery? 60 would let you recall pretty reliably, allowing 40 points f…

Good to hear. I'm impressed that we can have 65 or more stealth on wearables. I can imagine ring and bracelet each with 20 points, but then you obviously have other equipment providing at least 25 more stealth.
