"new" player guide for money making
Posted: Tue Sep 06, 2011 2:44 pm
Not sure if this already exists.
Someone asked for a guide on making money. Most veteran players know they can just increase there stats quickly and go kill low level monsters. Or they know how to macro up a bard and make some cash fast. But what about everyone else? What about the new player that doesn't even know how to make a few hundred gold?
Here is your guide.
First: Start a new character (you can have five per account and three accounts total, so a total of 15 characters).
So start the new guy in YEW, give him 50 bowcraft/fletching, 49 lumberjacking and 1 in something else you want.
Immediately start chopping wood- do this by double clicking your ax (while equipped) and targeting a tree. Once you have plenty of wood start making bows. Do this by double clicking your dagger and targeting the logs. A menu will appear, clock on the bow, and then another bow will pop up and click that. After a few moments you should create a bow.
Rinse, lather, repeat. After you have plenty of bows (20 or so) go to the nearest Bowyer (there are two in Yew). You have find these really easily if you're using UO Automap (or look them up on the internet by typing UO YEW MAP or something like that, although you really ought to use UOAM).
Exceptional bows can be sold to a bowyer for 34gold and 31gold for regular quality. If they ofer you below 25 gold I would sell to the second bowyer. Just keep doing this- you should make gold rather quickly.
I actually tried this out today and made 675 gold in 15 minutes. I was trying to see how much money I could make in 20 minutes, but I think that I proved my point.
Any questions let me know.
Good luck!
