  • Yes you can swap the 2 skills around and probably be ok. The only call out from me about that would be that once you kind of figure out your suit and start to "fine-tune" things, swapping between the 2 skills likely will remove some max stats from …
  • @Mordeed - You can be fine with any variation for a warrior so I would probably suggest just trying things out to see what you like best.  If you are going to use Bushido and use a shield; you are hurting your parry chances (Bushido works better wi…
  • If you are going traditional paladin build; you don't need Bushido... in fact your parry chance is actually decreased when combined with Bushido (compared to regular parry w/o Bush). You could swap in Healing for Bushido and have a pretty decent bu…
  • @tonyberz - Pawain answered your #1 point so I'll skip that. On your second point; I'll tag in @PlayerSkillFTW to speak on how anatomy / LJ add damage and what it is. I do not think having 120 anatomy vs 23 will create a 40pt damage swing, but I do…
  • @Thalon - I think where pawain was going there is that to help maximize damage; strength should be at 150 and since it's not a skill that's something most people prioritize.  @tonyberz - I'd agree the strength also needs to be bumped to 150. If you…
  • I've done a ton of matriarchs and still have yet to get a single egg. I haven't done many chests so I can't speak to those numbers but from what I see from others they do seem like better chances. It's to the point now that when I'm on my luck hour…
  • When it comes to skills used that's going to be different depending on who you ask (and what they/you fight mainly).  To answer your first question; no anatomy isn't going to be accountable for an extra 30 damage per hit; the loss of damage is beca…
  • The hardest thing about "RNG" is that difficult to really test the drop rate. Based on my testing of doing over 350 massive/grand maps; I don't think luck plays that much of a factor. I've typically done nest with at least 3k luck from my suit, but…
  • I totally agree with the thought that the Deco egg turn in was something they thought of after the fact and I applaud their shift in that thought. That said, I don't think they need to come up with a suitable mechanic when they already have one av…
  • I said nothing of the sort that there was a "fixed drop rate" wherein there were only so many drops a day. So let's just nip that in the bud now before you take the thread off topic yet again with things that aren't actually true. To clarify, I'm t…
  • I don't think there are many items with over 20 reflect damage. One of the new Umbrascale totems has 20 reflect on it so not sure if you have factored that in.  That said, where are you getting 250 reflect damage from? Is that a number that someone…
  • Venom said: I've done 100+ nests, all greater or above (majority grand or massive) and no mature egg for me. I use 3,000+ luck (and have tried 5,000+ luck for 4 massive, too). Even an increase in chance is just that -- an increase. I am curio…
  • For starters... totally in agreement that it's past time to do something with the deco eggs... I re-subbed an account just to place a house for the deco eggs I was getting to hold over until we could turn in.... that house is now full and I'm forced…
  • Agree that we need more items to craft using the void fragments. I would also ask that they make them stackable so they don't take up as much room when collecting/storing them. I'd suggest that the team adds another recipe (or two) in Pub 122 "Egg …
  • Petra_Fyde said: I haven't gotten an egg from a hidden chest. I've found an awful lot of chests, with and without added luck, but I have got a few effigies, ingredients to make those sleeves, gems to imbue those slayer weapons I make so many …
  • Still haven't gotten one....so at this point any color would be my favorite.  Starting to feel like the obelisk all over again.
  • ForeverFun said: KroDuK said: popps said:Some players can almost reach 6,000 Luck for.. Luck is artificially hard cap around ~3500 luck. (you pin point that number with google) Don't believe everything you read in a search e…
  • Does the spider need to start with any particular stats or anything?
  • Tip for right now is to work the Umbrascale event and get some of the reward items (multiples if you can). The SDI chest piece is great for a mage and the gloves/mempo can be great for a warrior. They help by making other content easier helping get …
  • Mistere001gaming said: Hello all its been quite awhile but I have come back to uo. I was sad to see most shards are dead but Atlantic is booming. I am finding it quite hard to even get a simple house.  I am feeling it's a pipe dream and livin…
  • Victim_Of_Siege said:That, in the final analysis and when considered through the multifaceted prism of my own subjective interpretive framework, represents, at least insofar as my personal evaluative perspective and experiential lens are concern…
  • I do not believe so. I think you would need to use UOA with CC.
  • Mordeed said: My guess is the deco egg vendor will sell nest maps , not mature eggs  That's not a bad thought... it would be nice if we knew this so people could decide if that's worth keeping the eggs. Personally, I have no desire to trad…
  • I have found myself in a similar situation. I've spent almost all my turn-in points for massive maps up to this point (I'd guess upwards of 125+ maps) and haven't had any luck (from nest or matriarch). The first 30-40 maps I didn't use any luck item…
  • There is a thread over in stratics where people posted that they got their mature egg with the added luck.  How about you add YOUR findings @popps with actual data? How many hidden chests have you done? Sounds like not many based on your other thre…
  • popps said: Petra_Fyde said: For massive, it's not so much which template as which tactics. When using my tamer, I use a Najasaurus and park it off screen while I dig the nest. Invis when the mobs come up and then run to the pet. This …
  • Mariah said: Not sure why you want to spawn one, but the area at the entrance to Daemon temple on Fire Island has a large spawn of turkeys. I did accidentally spawn one there once when killing turkeys for feathers to make arrows. I wished I h…
  • Thorakh said: A Yumi bow would be great to have at next event, most of the time it is composite or short bows. Also FC 1 would be nice to have on event bows for 4/6 Chivalry. Hope this makes it into next event. I'm hoping they could just a…
  • popps said: Pawain said: @ popps  why are you the only player having issues with the chests?  There's at least 3 other places to post, you are the only one having trouble making a template and doing the content. Frankly, I do not und…
  • Rocko said: Thorakh said: Let me clarify, I'm a Chiv Archer Tamer, you may be a mage and the targeting or pet gets confused in a flurry of commands. I get it now.  My solution is for the dev's to create an option to block war on pet…
