Since I can't really contribute to the script stuff I'll do my best to help here.

You can only imbue 5 properties, but certain properties like swing speed and stamina cannot be imbued.

This is important for pvp. It is less important for pvm where if you decide to use a very nice legendary artifact it will likely be labeled "antique" and wear down really quickly. I wouldn't use a 200 million ring to kill poison elementals. So for a pvm sampire I'd try to stick with imbued items that can be replicated easily to avoid too many holes in your suit over time.

For claw, I set parameters for 10 SSI 5 stam clean as one of the loot properties. You can imbue this for a pvm archer and have a nice set up heavy on offense. I would set to loot for SSI and stam (or just SSI) because you can imbue the other needed properties. For a sampire, 5 SSI is probably fine depending on your weapon and set up.

Pvp ideas:

1st, it depends what kind of dexxer you are running. A 200+ stamina pvp archer IMO should be using 15 HCI/15DCI/25 EP/10 SSI at a minimum. Probably need DI after that, and then stat bonuses and skills etc. if you just run the minimum you will likely be outgunned at some point. I have for my pvp archer a ring with 20 HCI/15 dci/25 ep/10ssi/ 8 str /4 mana/4 int/15 ninjitsu and lrc or something random.

A pvp melee  dexxer can probably get away with less SSI especially since most wil be using a bokuto/kryss/war fork and don't need the massive stamina and SSI to swing at cap. May want to look for 1/3 casting if using bushido, ninja, and chiv along with 15/15 HCI dci and EP.

FC is a nice bonus for archers and sampire so but not 100% needed.

Since the loot update a while back these items drop everywhere. It seems like shadowguard and some of the newer stuff have higher intensities.

Hello. My name is James. I am a long time member here but have never posted.

I made an account on the forums in 2012 and ended up taking  a break from UO, thus never posting an appropriate introduction.

My UO Career:

I have played UO on and off for several years. I started in about 2003 on OSI but I have mostly played free shards. I was really busy IRL during that time and didn't have the time to put forward to gaming. Like most people, I kept playing on and off but quickly went to free shards and tried most of them. Some were fun, while others had far too much corruption, customization, and favoritism which lost the UO feel for me.

Currently, I have more free time and have settled down a bit and really enjoy gaming sessions.  I am ramping up on OSI Atlantic due to many free servers simply not having the numbers. I think the community makes UO and playing a server with 30 people online doesn't give the true experience of what UO can be.

I enjoy the freedom UO gives. The graphics don't bother me too much and I like the openness of the game mechanics. I often think the game is for two types of people: Smart People, and Grinders.

Currently on Atlantic, I run a sampire with 120 Swords and GM Parry/Bushido/Tactics/Anatomy/Necro along with 70 chiv and 30 SS for curse weapon. Also, training a disarm archer to try to get some PVP action.

This community interests me because for years I have played UO the hard way (or maybe the stupid way?). Excessive clicking to train, always forgetting to bandage, and never seeming to have enough resources and nearly going blind training crafting skills from staring at my laptop scree. I am not very good with a computer but I thought I would stop by and introduce myself to the forum. Also, to say thanks for the countless hours people have put in to make this game easier.

Thank you,

James
