  • JackFlashUk said: Popps are you taking a triton in? Please do NOT tell me this I am talking about Summons, not pets....
  • I agree. I would also like to know what is the official stance in regards to Ultima Online and scripting using unauthorized Third Party software. Because, my understanding is that the TOS does not allow this and yet, even from posts on these forums…
  • Arnold7 said: Have seen this thread about s tamer’s vulnerability now a couple of times.  Bottom line is the underlying UO philosophy regarding players.  Some, maybe most, tamers have pets that can easily solo para greater dragons with a litt…
  • Seth said: One Workaround is to use a Gargoyle Tamer Mage so it can run away fast.   I have thought about it... but it also has its downsides... being a Gargoyle can be an advantage but also brings hindrances.... I eventually preferred bei…
  • Merlin said: My understanding was that Luck does not affect the likelihood of a drop, but rather the mods on the drop.  Although, I also feel like we've heard it every which way at one point or another.  There is a post from Kyronix on the…
  • It must be something in the code, I suspect.... Because I noticed, that if I cast invisibility on myself and a Paragon is around, even if a Summon is nearby, I have the impression that the Paragon, when I cast invisibility on myself, never really l…
  • Merus said: I agree with Petra that I’ve definitely noticed a bias toward getting drops from Fey mobs over the native Destard spawn. I don't know.... Just killed, ming you, wearing 2,500+ Luck, 2 Paragon Wyverns and 1 Paragon Unicorn and,…
  • Petra_Fyde said: As a tamer in the dungeon I discovered that the optimum distance from my pet to cast heals is 10 tiles. At that distance the mob should be at 11 tiles with the pet between you. Also at that distance you can invis and stay…
  • Arnold7 said: If you can cast a summons why aren’t you mounted on one of those mounts you can keep on your backpack?  You could then put enough distance between you and the para that you could invis.  That would be more effective for breaking…
  • Arnold7 said: You have to run on the first level so that if the para is at one end you are at least in the middle of the dungeon before you cast invis and then wait forever to disappear. Sometimes if the para is chasing you and close when you…
  • Pawain said: If we get drops for killing that amount those easy things, we would just have to play a couple of days. All but the SW are 1 or two hit kills depending on if I did double strike or not. popps said: Just as an example, I w…
  • McDougle said: It's just bad luck sometimes I die 5 times before it locks on my pet Is it ? Or is it perhaps the way it has been Designed to work ? To my opinion, the mechanics should be less frustrating on players and more of a reliable…
  • Just as an example, I was just in the 2nd level of Destard, wearing 2,500+ Luck, and after killing 5 Drakes, 5 Daemons, 4 Mages, 3 or 4 serpents and even a Weald Protector and a Shadow Wyrm, I got zero drop.... Sure, they were all regular, no Parag…
  • Mariah said: I believe this issue is already covered in this thread?https://forum.uo.com/discussion/10553/treasures-of-the-fey-feedback#latest Yes, you are right, there is the other feedback thread yet, I felt that this topic deserved a …
  • Seth said: They should  1) Increase drop rate for killing paragons, like the Invasion Generals. 2) Reduce killing power, 3-hit kills. Can up the HP like the Invasion Generals. So more char type can fight and not just tamer bard or Macer. Why…
  • Victim_Of_Siege said: Pawain said: popps said: McDougle said: popps said: The only solution seems to be to have a relatively large group..i.e. 5 or more.. to be able to grind them up.   That can be tough for late nig…

  • keven2002 said: I don't disagree with you @ popps but that's probably too much to ask for an event in flight because it's totally new untested coding they have to implement.  The fix for this is to simply open up Fel. If someone wants to sol…
  • McDougle said: popps said: The only solution seems to be to have a relatively large group..i.e. 5 or more.. to be able to grind them up.   That can be tough for late night players like myself.  This would be solved, if the Developers int…
  • Merlin said: Overall, many of the changes from a few weeks ago have made the event more feasible from a playability stand point.   The one remaining trouble I seem to find is that just about every other day is that there will just be an eno…
  • McDougle said: I notice the apron not on anyones list. no apron/belt with luck but yay +5 alchemy.  The apron, to my opinion, is more usefull only in PvP and, perhaps, not even there much.... I would have preferred a "crafter's" Apron tha…
  • Jepeth said: The books would probably go for a bit more, but even then there are others out there from the Invasions that are the same specs, just without the fancy titles. I, personally, think the SSI/luck quiver is going to be the thing th…
  • dvvid said: Randomizing the ore and wood didn't kill scripting, but it made scripting less efficient, wouldn't you say?  I'm not talking about a way to completely eliminate scripting, just making it less worthwhile. How did randomizing of …
  • JenniferMarie said: popps said: So, making BY DESIGN these items more readily available in the game, with much less time spent in game from players, would make it pointless for players to want to script, AFK or not, to get them, becaus…
  • JenniferMarie said: People script in every video game ... just saying. [[It's not strictly an UO problem]] Most other games take steps to curb scripting or make it nonprofitable. And no ... Giggles said: Which will lead to the dwindli…
  • Why is there some players who use scripts, Multi-tasking and all that ? Because, at least is my opinion, they can benefit from that and, sometimes, not really only in the game but, also, outside of it with RMTs. Sure, there is PvP players who, tha…
  • Theo said: Rom said: Pawain said: If you think someone is scripting PAGE A GM! Do like others do, get ahead of them and take the eggs first. Make them admit what they are doing in overhead chat.  If you need help on how to ann…
  • Sarkon said: Choices are always good.  But when you have a combat choice or a non-combat choice, the combat choice should yield a much higher drop rate.  This is not the case, as the spawn and drop rates are almost zero in the dungeons lately…
