General UO Chat / 100 vs 110 vs 120 Magic Resist

« on: May 16, 2009, 06:02:35 AM »

Hi Guys,

I was reading on stratics the formula for resisting spells is (Resist skill - 40) / 3 * 2 rounded down to the nearest whole number. so at 100 resist you have 40 in all 5 resistances, at 110 you have 46 to all resistances, at 115 you have 50 to all resistances and at 120 you have 53 to all resistances. Since I know some of you play Sampires and other types of chars that actually use resist tell me. Is it REALLY worth it to buy that 120 scroll??? On my shard I can buy a 115 scroll for 700k but a 120 scroll is 6M.

The difference between 115 and 120 is only 3 resist. I am not trying to be cheap here (well maybe a little) just wondering if 5.3M difference in cost is actually worth it.

Thanks!

General UO Chat / Turquoise Ring

« on: May 08, 2009, 06:01:10 AM »

Hi All!

Told you guys I was still relearning the game after my long break

I was looking at UO Guide and came across the craftable Turquoise Ring. The guide states that it is possible to actually craft one of these with a total of 36% damage increase. I went through my entire stash of turquoise (about 400) and didn't even come close. I was just wondering if anybody here has actually made one of those puppy's with a 36% DI...if so...do you remember how many you had to make to get one?

I am still looking around through the guide, and don't see anything else with that kind of DI on it available so I think it might be worth doing the 100's of hours of mining to get more turq..please let me know if I am wrong about this, mabey there is something better out there and I just havent found it yet...or maybe this ring isn't as good a thing as I think it is..lemme know your thoughts, and if anybody has managed to actually make one with that high of DI.

Thanks!!

General UO Chat / HW and luck suit?

« on: April 25, 2009, 08:51:29 AM »

Hi Guys,

Wife and I are having a little argument over this. Anybody have any idea if a luck suit has any bearing on the drop rate while doing the Heartwood quests? I think NOT, she thinks so..we are both currently running 1500+ luck. I have tried it both with and without the luck suit..I think it matters not. Anybody out there know...or have any experience trying it?

UO Bragging Rights / Funniest UO stories???

« on: April 04, 2009, 05:31:51 AM »

OK Guys, as a new guy here this might have been posted before...but I gotta know, what do you guys think is some of the funniest things that have ever happened to you in your UO life??

I will start it off....

As I said in my intro, I started playing the came within a week after it came out. I was very obsessive about the game (gee that hasn't changed) and I played every minute I could. I am sure that that I ended up with one of the first GM swords/Tactics dudes on the shard.

Of course not knowing a thing yet (still so much to learn since coming back) My first char was also a messed up kinda guy...who even thought about making a "mule" for crafting and such in those days!! Anyway, he was GM swords/Tactics, and he was my miner, lumberjack, smith, and anything else I needed him for! (Imagin having 4 OPEN char spots!!)

One day he was out doing some lumberjacking and I couldn't stand it anymore..I HAD to PEE!!! I had not seen anybody in hours (nothing unusual there the shards were almost empty) I find a nice quiet spot in the woods, no mob's around and leave the keyboard. Off to the bathroom I go, and on my way back I stop to make more coffee and grab something to eat.

As I near my den I hear to my horror that a PK is beating on my char! I run the last few steps and get to my den just in time to see my guy with about 10HP left...the PK has even less HP then I do! He gets in the last lucky shot and my guy keels over dead.

The PK starts talking to me..NOT SMACK...He says to me "dude, that was the most awesome fight I have ever been in, you rock! That was CRAZY you had my adrenalin pumping GREAT FIGHT DUDE, GREAT FIGHT..let me help you find a healer, and I am not even going to loot you, you dont deserve to lose your stuff after a great fight like that!" and with that he ran off to find a healer, lead me to him, waited for me to rez, and walked me back to my body while he "guarded" me incase a mob showed up and I couldnt defend against it.

Once we got back to my body, and I collected all of my stuff, we talked a few, and he went off in search of somebody else to PK.

I never, ever, had the heart (and never did anytime I ever saw him again) to tell him I was in Auto-Defend mode, and wasn't even at my keyboard through the entire fight!

I have thought about that many times over the years, and it still brings a chuckle.

How about you guys? I am sure there are TONS of things that have happened, we should be able to bring a smile or laugh to each other for awhile talking about this!

New member introductions / newbie..

« on: April 03, 2009, 08:36:24 AM »

Hello everybody. New to the boards, just was pointed here by my friend Ultima last night. I have been playing UO since the game first came out. I played on the Pacific shard, and then switched to the Sonoma shard when it opened (less lag for me at the time) I played for almost 7 straight years, then took the last 3 off. I just came back and what a change in the game there is now. All new skills, skills needing other skills to work, new lands...etc etc.

I started off with the old chars I had, many of which were GM's...then I find out that now you can have many skills set to 120, and at 100 your a total whimp LOL! I met Ultima ingame and he gave me some learnin...I started rebuilding some of my guys, and using (what ARE those things..soulstones and soulstone frags to store some of my skills, and change my chars around some). The I started the drudge work of building my chars up to 120 skills..the ones I thought I needed...like smithy, and tailor, and such. It didnt take long until my hands were hurting so bad, and twitching at night that I could hardly stand it. Again, I talked to Ultima, and he pointed me here. I had never used a script before, nor had I heard of uox, so I decided to try it.

How nice to be able to have 2 (or more) accts open at once...and better yet, how great it is to train while I sit here and read a book, or play with my dog. My wife even knows what I look like again cuz I am not stuck down in my dark den clicking away for hours to gain .1 skill point!!!!

Only last night did I even find out what a whammy or sampire was LOL, I guess I been in the dark to long...Now I am embarked in making myself one (whammy that is) thanks to reading all of the great posts here.

I hope many of you old salts will bear with me and all of my stupid questions cuz I am sure I will have many...in trying to rebuild my guys and make em better then they obviously are. I thank you all in advance for your patience with me, and hope to be able to contribute some myself while I am here! I do know a lot about the "old game" when it started, but I have NO CLUE about the "new game" as it stands now...but I promise...I learn fast!

Thank You
