  • Another implementation in addition to what @fonsvitae suggested would be to allow a rune to be re-marked within its place in the book.  This would often alleviate the need to change rune order.cast Mark, and target the blue dot of the selected rune …
  • 8 years or so ago I remember reading that Google sold HW/SW search packages to businesses.  I wonder if they still sell those types of systems and whether UO could adapt it to take over vendor search.  I get the strong impression that the legacy stu…
  • Boo said: Is a melee Treasure Hunter feasible then or would the spawn be too tough? I don't know about melee, but if I tried it, I'd be sure to have high parry.  I have seen a very effective archer t-hunter, though.  She helped me wit…
  • Being afk while getting rewards via your pets is a problem.  Hiding in itself is not.  If you are paying attention to your pet while hidden, no problem.   Also, penalizing Hiding would invalidate the entire Ninja build. 
  • The problem may well be caused by server load.  I.e., there are more people than the hardware and software can deal with effectively.  Temporary solution?  A lot of folks there should spend more time on less-populated servers.  Personally I feel unc…
  • @Boo By coincidence I had started another treasure hunting thread just hours before yours.  See Please Critique this fisherman + treasure hunter build.  My build is similar to yours except instead of music skills he has fishing and resist magic.
  • @skett, my mage with 75+ magery could handily solo level 1s.  After achieving 70 cart and 80 magery, just did my first level 2 this evening.  I needed to call in help.  The first bunch of Guardians included over 5 casters (including 2 elementals, dr…
  • To add to Skett's answer, Telekinesis no longer sets off traps at a distance.  That is why Remove Trap is necessary.  You don't need 100; I personally plan on 60 in that skill.  You may need to put Peacemaking or Provoke on a stone, and build up som…
  • Urge said: All ninja forms offer something but I do see the OP point in why a samp has unlimited leech but no other form can have any diversity.  I think we should nerf samps. They've had the easy button for too long.  @Urge I believe the…
  • SpeculationThe first consideration is forms with very high hit point regen.  These are necro Horrific Beast (HB, which is 18 HPR) and ninjitsu Dog and Cat forms (16-30 HPR, depending on Ninjitsu skill).  I assume the devs feel it is unbalanced to le…
  • AtlanticRealtor said: Before you convert a Keep or Castle you need to make sure that: ... Very nice guide!  I don't have a castle or keep, but it's still nice to have all that info in one place.
  • Izahl said: ... Anyone any ideas on a good starter build to try out? I was told Sampire was really good, but read a guide saying it's really difficult as a new player. If you like fighting monsters (there is lots more to do in this game…
  • Hi, and welcome to Ultima Online! Before you choose Atlantic, how good is your connectivity there?  I know mine from USA to the European shards is mediocre at best.  Slow and dropped packets is an issue on its own, but compound that with the very …
  • Thanks again, @PlayerSkillFTW . One of the bullet points concerning the GT Golem is:Having the tinker skill will assist making the golem more powerfulDoes anyone know if Tinkering skill is only significant during creation, or while using the Golem a…
  • @Alkaseltzer if your Gargoyle has at least 90 Mysticism, then any weapon can become a Mysticism weapon.  With the Mystic Weapon mastery spell, the weapon becomes:mysticism - 15, tier 1mysticism - 10, tier 2Mysticism -  5, tier 3Duration seems to be …
  • @PlayerSkillFTW Thank you for the info.  My tinker is GM, and my carpenter/bowyer craftsman has 50 tinkering.  Hopefully that will provide some enhancement.  My Gargoyle imbuer just uses his racial 30 mysticism, mainly for Enchant.  He is not GM yet…
  • Lord_Nythrax said: ...Yeah see these quests are way too focused on trash mobs, ... @Lord_Nythrax Here I'll largely disagree with you.  I like a hunting selection from easy to hard.  It allows characters to use them as part of their skil…
  • You present an interesting idea, and I would spend some time in such a server/event.  I don't know if the devs will have the resources to implement such a thing, but still. One point you did not make clear about Felucca being the only facet left.  H…
  • I was using Firefox.  I allowed ultima.com to show pop-ups, but it didn't help.  Then I tried accessing with Chrome, and everything worked.  Thanks for ideas.
  • Skett said: Did they put a suit swap in the cc  Yes.  You can pre-configure several different outfits, and change to any with a single click.  I'd use it more often, but my OCD tendencies kick in when an outfit is swapped out.  The pieces …
  • @Mordred I believe what he is saying is that a fix has been made to the database program.  However, that fix cleared the database data, which now must slowly be regathered from all the vendors on all shards. Let it regenerate today.
  • You are welcome.  Sorry, since I use the EC, I don't need UOAM.

  • "for years" is quite a broad reference.  Five years?  15 years? The uo.com site has lots of info in its wiki.  You could start with A Summary for Returning Players.  But how I really got back into it after being away "for years" was to start over on…

  • Regarding the Heartwood Quest list @Mariah posted, the system is clunky when looking for a specific quest giver.  In fact I could not even find the first one I tried to look for, Elder Onallan the Wise.  I checked both the Trammel and Felucca versio…
  • @Drakelord In another thread a Dev said all the new stuff happens Tuesday, the 24th.

  • The announcement was unclear to me.  Will Treasures of Tokuno become active Tuesday or perhaps before?
  • @Kyronix said: @ Deraj - yes.  Huge glaring problem.  One we have been grappling with how to resolve.  Stay tuned Well, a page 1 re-implementation comes to mind, designed coherently up front.  Unfortunately I get the feeling that EA has …
  • @Dryzzid I don't know if a Nujel'm moongate is on all shards.  My reference for the post is the Origin shard.
  • @Mariah Thank you for the links.  I was not aware such lists existed.
  •   ... apparently not. I rerolled a character today, and one of the things I did in his early training is accelerate his dexterity from 35 to 40 so I could lock it and then forget about it.  He went to the pickpocket dip house in Old Haven and start…
