There is a video on YouTube of a guy on an Asian server soloing Slasher.  The title of the video is Slasher of veils solo 2/26/2013, here is a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgCJqd2yosk.  I can't figure out what buff he's using, it's the one just to the right of the enemy of one buff at the start of the fight.  I thought it was a fish pie buff, however I can't duplicate it.  Can anyone help and tell me what it is?

General UO Chat / Fish Farming for Quest turn in
« on: April 29, 2013, 06:22:19 AM »
I've been doing this fishing thing by hand for weeks, except for the wonderful crabby script, I'm about to lose my mind.  I'm looking for a working recall fisher so I can do some dock and dungeon fishing.  I've tried the one here, but it doesn't seem to work, is there anyone who could chat with me and help me out?

Player vs. Monster / Wraith Thrower
« on: May 26, 2012, 02:30:54 PM »
So I love this template, and was wondering if dropping bushido for spell resist would be good vs.
Slasher of Veils and other spell casting mobs.  Any downside?

19
I've read a few posts that someone was about to post it right after they did something, and never got around to it.  Some claim to farm it frequently, so can anyone give me a hint?

After transforming into a gargoyle with a character that was scrolled out, however got no play time.  Training up throwing, and crafting a suit, and countless conversations with Teacakes, I have worked up my template to this:

120 Anatomy
120 Tactics
120 Bushido
120 Throwing
70 Chivalry
70 Spirit Speak
60 Ninjitsu
40 Necromancy

I finish travesty now with 2 minutes left on the keys, thanks to you Teacakes.

So, I am assuming, since wild fire works and its an AE spell...

1. Travisty dont dispel it?
2. Explosion pots would work as well right?  Same thing really, just dont have a much built into SW.

Cause if I could free up 100 or so points, add more to SS, seems it would make a difference tossing potions when your low on mana and get more back due to SS level.

I've tossed the pots, with EP maxed out... didn't do much damage at all.  The wildfire is a mass effect spell, and trav doesn't dispell it.

Treasure Hunting / Re: Is there a trick to farming white pearls

I've been desperatly trying to pull an Anchor from Fabled Fishing nets.

When you go to drop your fabled net, put on all of the luck you can possibly find and then drop the net.  That seems to help from what I've read

Treasure Hunting / Is there a trick to farming white pearls
« on: March 16, 2009, 04:49:10 PM »
My shard is out off them on vendors, and I make a pretty penny making pendants since i can farm travesty.  I was wondering if there is a white pearl trick, staying in shallow water?  or do you need to be in deep water for them? anyone?

24
Does the shadow elemental trick, still work for pet training?  (sorry for the OT..)  ;)

Sorry for the OT too, yes!! Shadow works for pet!

25
Forgive my newbie question, where do I fetch the dragons to lure over here???  I do like the shadow ele tricky too.

26
GREAT! Thanks for the update Roberts.

It's been a while since I ran Trav but you are saying you can be XX tiles off screen and still be in disco range and wildfire without her targeting you and turning into you? Because if she turns into you she can disco the pet.



Yes, I believe it is exactly 9 tiles.  The way I guage it is, keep my dragon in between trav and myself, and once I'm close enough to cast greater heal on my dragon I take one step closer and I'm in range to target travesty.  I've also had it suggested recently that it may be even quicker to run with an archer/tamer and use one of the elven bows and it would be perfect range.  I figure if it isn't broke don't fix it.  With the leeching ability I have from wraith form, the only other thing I can think to try is eval/med instead of my music/disco set up and spam flamestrike, although, I'll probably save that one for lady melisande.  Stand by for my walkthru on Lady Melisande with this template, it's easy, but you need a backup healer.

My most recent trips to travesty have bestowed me with some new knowledge that I will impart to you all.  First off, embracing honor to enter her realm is worthless, however it is very useful at the end when she spawns her minions.  I now run in the room and tell my GD to stay at the western side of the room, then I run north and invis until she targets him, then I make a very wide loop around until I can target my dragon and travesty from a distance. 


Travesty Before/After Disco Stats, Resists, Skills
STR 939/939
DEX 909/909
INT 906/906

Resists
PHY 66/59
FIR 58/51
COL 56/49
POI 54/47
ENE 59/52
roughly 12% decrease

Skills
WRES 119/110.7
TACT 117.4/109.2
RESI 102.3/95.2
ANAT 112.7/104.9
roughly 7% decrease

The fight lasted under 20 minutes, and I am not willing to run it without disco at this time to find out if it is indeed faster with or without disco.  Based on the current numbers posted, evidence would suggest that it is faster with disco.

I took screenshots of Dreadhorn before and after discordance and it was maybe a 1% difference in resists and hardly anything in the skills. So from my experience having discordance on character in a battle with peerless is pretty much a waste of skill points but I'm sure it does come in handy in the key gather department.

Discordance with Champion Bosses however has proven to be very useful. :)

But I'd be eager to see if you notice any tangilble benefits when disco'ing Travesty.

The only thing I can tell you from memory is travesty drops from 160 barding difficulty to 155.  I'll do one with and one without and record the time.

29
Thanks for sharing your technique! Do you actually DISCO Trav or just happen to have that on your character?

I do disco travesty, I guess it helps, not really sure, never done without it.  I'll try and remember to lore her before and after disco, stand by for report.

Yep, it's me, the real me, not the fake me.  I just got turned on to this board and I'm amazed.  I wish I knew how to write these things, but as a true pyrate, I'll gladly loot the hard work that you have toiled over.  Thanks in advance for your contribution to my game play.

So it was suggested that I post my tips and techinques for travesty solo.

Template
120 Mage
120 Music
120 Discordance (yep)
120 Animal Taming
120 Animal Lore
120 Spellweaving

Suit
Faction items
RBC
Orny
Crystalline Ring
Wizard Crystal Glasses
Non Faction Items
Pendant of Magi
Stitchers
Spellwoven
Totem of the Void
Sandals :D

I also carry:
Midnight Bracers
Boomstick/vesper shield
Janna's staff
Necro mark
Ossian Grimsmore
Bloodwood spirit
Invasion spellbook with 30 SDI

The fight:

I honor myself to enter the dungeon with my greater dragon, i stick the dragon on the travesty and run away.  From the context menu I tell the dragon to kill and follow travesty (frequenly).  I walk one step towards my dragon and cast heal ( I am too far away to target.  I walk a step closer until I can just reach the dragon with the spell.  It is very important to keep the dragon between yourself and travesty so the travesty is one step further away from you.  Once you are in the spot where you can effectively cast greater heal on your dragon, start casting wild fire.  I put on my goodies to go into wraith form, and leave the bracers and the bloodwood spirit on so I can maintain wraith form and have the +10 SS bonus from the bloodwood spirit.  The wild fire leeches back your mana, and once travesty is in Word of Death range, you can spam it because the +10 SS leeches back all of the mana that the spell costs.  This is a very nice technique for any champ, peerless or doom boss you may cross, it really speeds things up.  Once travesty is at her point of spawning her minions, I honor myself again, cast gift of renewal on my dragon and make sure I have gift of life up just in case things go south.  A few more WoD and it's time to loot, just remember to keep your distance from travesty. 

Gaining Honor on Tamer:
Swoop (Twisted Weald)
Balrons (Blood Dungeon) have fun with paragons
Succubus (Blood Dungeon)
Thrasher (Blighted Grove) these guys are really good

I always try to keep at least two ticks of Follower, just for the longer lasting Honor Embrace.

Consider this my contribution to all of you land lovers, now go away!
