Hi guys. I wanted to share with you something that has made my life A LOT easier when training up some skills. You all remember the satyr trick right?
If you don't know it, this is what I'm talking about:
Taken from uoguide.com
Go into Twisted Weald, find a satyr and pull up its gump.
Attack it by double clicking its gump in war mode and it will attempt to use discordance on you.
Let it follow you around until you have been discorded. You will know this because you will see all of your skills drop.
Then quickly get through the moongate to leave Twisted Weald.
When attacking it I recommend you get to the exit as quickly as possible as it will try to provoke other creatures in the area onto you. With lowered skills you definitely don't want a Cu Sidhe attacking you; even a Pixie can be hard to kill if you're young. If they do target you, they must either be killed or you must leave the server and come back.
Once you leave via the moongate the satyr will loose interest in attacking you. However, you are still discorded and you can re-enter without fear of it attacking you; this will NOT however stop critters that may have been provoked onto you from attacking you. This is when an invisibility spell or a pixie swatter with weapon skill comes in handy.
Now as long as you stay close to the satyr you will stay discorded until it respawns. Making use of the Alt-Left Click combination to follow the satry around is helpful.
It takes a while to get the hang of it and may several tries before getting it down.
Unlike other debuffs, no icon indicator will appear in the buff/debuff gump while a character is Discorded.
Well, there's a way to "enhance" this trick, getting the satyr stuck, so that you can just stay put, and never have to follow him around anymore.
You will need a friend or second account to pull this off (it can be done solo, but it's easier to have someone there)
So, the first thing you should do is have a friend (or a second account) stand exactly at (1) in the pic below. Now have your toon (2) attack the satyr.
Once the Satyr starts attacking you, you should run to the spot shown in the picture below. Also be sure you're not in war mode as to not attack the satyr again.
Once the satyr gets to the spot just North of you (shown below) you should invis yourself (or have your friend invis you).
As soon as you're invisible, the satyr will forget to attack you (as long as you don't attack him again). Now you should quickly run past the satyr and stand right North of him, like shown in the picture below. Your friend (or second account) just has to stay put at the same spot since the beginning.
After a little while (a few seconds) the Satyr will want to move. Since he is blocked from the West (by your friend) and from the North (by you), and also, there's a rock blocking him from the East, he will have no choice but to move 1 square to the South. Once he does this, you should also move 1 square to the south. See pic below.
Ok, now you're done! The Satyr will be stuck there, and as long as you don't move, he won't be able to get out of that exact spot. Your friend (or second account) is free to go, as you will be blocking the Satyr's passage by yourself now.
Now you can perform the Satyr trick until you get discorded, invis yourself, and stand there training up your skill without having to follow the Satyr around.
I don't know if many of you know about this, I've just recently found out about this by accident when I started playing again after all these years away from UO.
Hope you find this useful.
If anything isn't clear enough, please ask here, and I'll try my best to make it clearer.
