Title: Faction silver?
Post by: TrailMyx on June 16, 2009, 12:06:00 PM
Ok, so I'm going to demonstrate how much I don't know about UO.  Can someone please describe ways that you get faction silver, and in your ideal world the best ways to farm it? 

I haven't done much with factions, and it seems like there's some relatively new developments with it including the faction items.

At this point, I'm hoping I'm not the ONLY faction noob out there.  heh

Daemon Temple on the Isle of Fire is by far the best way to accumulate silver. The spawn is super fast and I've calculated it to be approximately 7k per hour in silver. It's a highly contested spot however depending on your shard.

I farmed over 500k in Silver thanks to C2 on the Daemon Temple!

If someone knows a better spot I'd love to hear about it.  ;D

Does it drop everywhere in Fel when you are in a faction?  It's been a while since I've played in a Faction, so I'm a bit unschooled with it.

Demon temple is the fastest, they give the most silver and they spawn like blazes.  Set a rune on top of the temple near the penagram and start kicking them around.  Keep in mind that the faction creature you can spawn does NOT include the creature your faction is aligned with, so when you sign up for SL don't plan on farming demons, for TB you can't farm serpents, for council of mages no wisps, and for Minax no ogre lords.

yes, any of the 3 types against your faction in fel

for instance, if your CoM you cannot kill wisps for silver
SL cannot kill daemons
Min cannot kill ogre lords
TB cant kill silver serps

Yes TM anywhere in Felucca depending on what monster you kill and what faction your in:

From Stratics:

Slain monsters with faction affiliation:

    * Minax: Ogre Lords - 30 silver
    * Council of Mages: Wisps - 20 silver
    * True Britannians: Silver Serpents - 30 silver
    * Shadowlords: Daemons (not summoned daemons) - 30 silver



How fast is that Blighted Grove spawn? How much silver per hour?
Title: Re: Faction silver?
Post by: TrailMyx on June 16, 2009, 12:24:29 PM
Ah, I see.  So for example, if you are in TB, you can get silver from ogre lords, daemons and wisps?  (just not silver serpents)?
Title: Re: Faction silver?

blghted grove silver serps spawn prolly 10 -15 secs after killing one. and since 2 spawn there its basically non-stop.

also, if you have a whammy/sampire u can pretty much do it afk since they die in 3 swings and youll leech all the life you need

Sounds like serps are faster than demons, and I wonder if they are less camped?  I like the demon temple because you can port in, but its probably preference in any event.
Title: Re: Faction silver?
Post by: Rn on June 16, 2009, 12:29:26 PM
ive never seen them camped on my server

daemon temple sounds like a pain to be honest, drags, greater drags, and drakes all roaming around. seems like a lot of luring away

Ah, thanks guys for the summary.  I guess the other reason I'm thinking about this is I was going to add silver to the CLAw as well as a silver/hr computation to the STATS menu.  For my part, I need to test it so I needed to know where to go and what to farm.

On Silver serpents, how do you manage that horrid poison?  Unfortunately, silver serpents are one of the first horror stories I encountered when I was young playing UO.  I died by one in the Lost Lands, and then it set up camp around my body back in the days when you didn't get all your loots back when you double-click your corpse.  I spent and hour trying to get my stuff back.  I wish I had a screen capture of the 20 bodies littered around.  I finally got all my stuff.  lol.  Silver serpents suck!

Serps are a breeze nowadays. Reptile or snake slayer weapon on a Sammi/Whammi makes it like swatting flies. I kill them with two or three spells max with my mage and a Reptile slayer spellbook. EV's rip them up. Tamers rip them up. Etc, etc. Pretty easy with any PvM character.

Does Arch Cure or Cleanse by Fire work for that horrid poison?  That's what originally made me keel over.  I think I got one screen away.  lol
Title: Re: Faction silver?
Post by: 12TimesOver on June 16, 2009, 12:43:44 PM
Arch cure and pots. I don't take poison very often at all anyhow but Arch Cure does the trick just fine.
Title: Re: Faction silver?
Post by: TrailMyx on June 16, 2009, 12:46:43 PM
Ok, cool.  I just never use pots so I just wanted to be sure there was gonna be something in the spellbook.  heh

You need to put your resource gatherer away TM, and use a REAL char ;)

Lol, I only have 2 120 skill characters.  My tamer and my thief.  I play UO on the cheap; I've never been a zillionaire.  I'm sure all the Stratics lurkers out there would be amazed that on my home shard, I don't even have 8 million gold.  I got that during the real estate boom.

So any character I come up with is pretty much a patchwork mutt.

OK...who wants to take up a donation cup for TM so he can make hisself a whammy??? I will pitch in a couple mil...anybody else???

Post by: TrailMyx on June 16, 2009, 12:56:48 PM
ROFL!  Well, I did goto the school of Cerveza's Whammy on the cheap.  So my main character has some pretty good gear knowing the secrets of good cheep marties.  Fey Leggings for example.  I managed to find a sweet kryss at one point, so I POFed that and have a pretty good farmer now.  But you can definitely know I didn't spend over 1M on the gear total.  I have great jewelry, but you can thank the CLAw and the quester for that.  After 30K iterations, you tend to get some pretty nice jewelry and ornate axes.  ;)

First of all we need to get u factioned up so you can get some REAL armor, then you can Use _c2_'s farmer to get yourself enough silver in a couple hours to buy that armor. But I am sure we can raise enough gold to get you some 120 scrolls :)

After all...it looks bad for all of us when our fearless leader only has pocket change on his account :)

I'm perfectly OK being basically poor in UO gold wise.  Sure I can sell one of my 3 ruined paintings.  Or perhaps my singing ball, but I like my goodies.  I think it's just kinda funny to be a "TURBO" scripter, but still don't have much gold to show for it.  Perhaps I don't script for the profit?  Perhaps I script to make the game more enjoyable?  Hmm, how could that be?  ehh
Title: Re: Faction silver?
Post by: Toptwo on June 16, 2009, 01:08:23 PM
Well, I for one am very happy that you script to make the game more enjoyable, because it has certianly made it more enjoyable for me...but hey, If I can't give you crap about it, it wouldnt be near as much fun!!   ;D

Truer words have rarely been uttered.  ;)

Thanks all for the silver summary.  It makes more sense to me now and I didn't have to wade through stratics crap to find it!
