Thanks for the warm welcome. My scripting skills are limited but I'll do my best to participate and help in the areas where I do have a little bit of knoweldge.

Ultima...I still refer to UO as Ultima.  Even when I was playing Ultima 3-7 on the commodore I still just thought of them all as Ultima. So I jumped at the chance to steal that name!

Just can't beat the lore an history behind this great game of ours.

Hopefully the game continues on for a long long time and they continue to add more content to keep the older and wiser players still interested. :)

Yeah a sampire will work well on miasma as long as you load up on HCI/DCI.  If not if could get difficult when one of the more powerful miasma's spawn. You need these two mods to be as close to possible and as much DI so you leech more as well.

On a mage with Miasma one fizzle can mean life or death. Even with 2 EV's on him he will break target and come after you the caster. I finally 120'd Magery and boy is it nice not to fizzle and it can make all the difference in the world when employing tactics and strategies against the tougher monsters.

Treasure Hunting / Re: Weapons/Jewlery that you look for?
« on: July 30, 2008, 10:09:31 AM »
Any jewlery items that have HCI (Hit Chance Increase) + DCI (Defense Chance Increase) and DI (Damage Increase) are very Uber for warriors. They need to be at in the 10% range give or take. Those 3 properties on a ring or bracelet for warrior template has alot of value. I would pay BIG Dollars for a bracelet like that which also has + Chivalry. The guys that are solo'ing peerless with sampires are wearing this type of jewelry.

For spell caster rings that have FC/FCR with LRC OR DCI have good value. Mages capout at 2/6 and should always be maxed. The difference is huge when FRC isn't max is huge. Always max out your FRC on a mage to 6.

As for Weapons one best mod and most sought after is SSI (Swing Speed Increase).  Weapons with high SSI will have a noticeeable difference from those without and the sell value will be much higher.

For Melee Weapons HLA (Hit Lower Attack) is my mod of choice so when I bash the monster his chances of hitting me are going to be less which is what I want if I'm going to be standing right next to him. HLD (Hit Lower Defense) is a great one to have as well but I'd take that as my first choice for the Archer template. Since your not going to be standing next to it your better off lowering it's defenses so you can hit more often whereas with the warrior I'd go with HLA so it's attack is weakened.

After the above one the thee if not thee most important of all mods is MANA LEECH on weapons. You run out of mana your ability to optimize your skills and abilities is severly hindered. I almost never use any weapons that does not have mana leech on it.

If you are able and have a Spellweaver charming an Artic Ogre Lord via Dryad Allure will work just like the old Golems did prior to the change. AOL's are 100% immune to poison. So get a  100% poison weapon and go to town. The AOL will still need periodic healing and will take some damage but it still works very well. I 120'd my swords about a week ago and it only took me 2 Nights from 90...not bad in my opinion. Now I just need to finish off the bushido with Lightning Strike but all these great scripts have derailed that endeavor for the moment!

I'm pretty sure I've picked them off minotaur corpses. Also if you have 120 Magery so you don't fail casting the EV you should be pretty safe dealing with Miasma. Not sure what shard you play on or how it's different but he will drop in 2-4 minutes with EV bombardment depending on how strong the miasma is which can be a huge variance. Sometime Miasma spawns really weak and other times extremely strong and paragon is never listed above it. SW is great though I have if on 3 or 4 of my characters.

I totally agree with that philosphy as I own my own business and the best advertising is by word of mouth. Sometimes it just takes a little time for word to get around but for sure the URL is a winner. I was just suprised that it took a litttle bit of looking to get here but I'm glad I made it and I'll be sure to tell the few friends I know and trust  :)

Beer / Hop Ottin' India Pale Ale!
« on: July 29, 2008, 01:31:50 PM »
Not too many places I see carry this beer but I give it a 10 (Anderson Valley Hop Ottin')! I'm also a pretty picky SOB but if you like the IPA's this one is one of the best out there in my opinion. I'm been drinking it out of my keg for over a year now. There is something about those IPA's that are just different than all other beers.

So if your anywhere with a good beer selection be sure to look for it and give er' a try. I'm pretty sure your local yard house has it in stock. Cheers!

This site is also worthy of some consideration as it gives a pretty in depth discussion about champion spawns and how to tactics used to defeat each of the various Champions. http://www.uotreasurehunters.com/

I think this site should have some consideration under the fan sites for taming. I know people hate tamers but I think this person did a pretty good job with this site. It's a little old but still up an running and it has quite a bit of infomation regarding the ins and outs of taming. http://www.tamingarchive.com/

i understand what your doing with that tm but their isnt alot of traffic here.. i see alot of post that are days before you see another persons post.. but i understand what your doing but different when their is alot of traffic here.

Honestly I think part of the problem for less traffic is people don't know about the site! If you google uo script this site is not on the top ten list so that rigth there is part of the problem. These big search engine companies totally have a monopoly on what information/sites gets out to the public and I'm sure there are plenty of kickbacks going on to google. Aren't they involved with some lawsuit against Yahoo? Maybe I have it mixed up but you get the point.

It takes a little searching to get to this site. It's not as accessible as some of the other sites which may or may not be a good thing.

Here to see what all the fuss is about! I'm just a beginner and trying to learn all the ins and outs of the coding. It's alot of fun testing and seeing what all these various scripts can do.  It totally amazes how creative some of the scripts are that people come up with. Hope to learn here!
