UO Second Age

I do have a stop macro hot key, but your point on timing is very well received. I probably rely too heavily on harm for my interrupts. It probably is holding me back a bit. My harm’s weren’t reliably hitting when I was manually targeting using the last target key bound to my mouse. That’s why I swit...

Don’t use the ALT/Shift/ctrl keys for combat. They will get you killed. Save the Alt key for your PVM macros like taming a dragon. Those macros don’t require split second timing, so the extra click doesn’t really matter. The question really is whether to disable razor or not when talking (so you can...

Heh Heh. Good one WAP. I would counter that there is a reason the "bring back automated events" threads keep getting bumped. Some people need to hear it for the 501th time before they act. I know I am sitting on the sidelines waiting for it. I know I'm not alone. The question is "are ...

The shard isn't dying. The age is testament to that. There's just too many people with too much invested to allow that to happen. The shard has peaked. The shard went on a long and steady decline when automated events were removed. It eventually leveled off, and stayed fairly consistent since. While...

Stable slots are a finite resource in this game. Finite resources get gobbled up by most smart people as soon as they find them. It’s that simple. They are a precious resource. You can change the dynamics of that resource, but you can’t change the mechanics or human nature. I ran pets through 3 stab...

IMO they need to bring back automated events. Automated PVM while being tons of fun, bring people together in a natural way. Automated PVP events are also a fun distraction, and give the hard core PVP guys some good action outside of murdering the weak. Both are without question improvements to the ...

no. the robe quits giving gains around 76 I think. That's the highest cloth made item. You need to switch to leather items like gorgets. Farm the NPC vendors to get the hides at 3 GP ea. It's horrible to try and farm the hides in the wild.

An interesting side not for you. When I was into this for a while I priced out what I made on shadow spots. I assumed 6 gold for iron and 8 for shadow to get a "price per recall". Then I backed that into all the ores based on smelt rate. verite would have to earn 14 GP per and valorite 20 ...

I’m just curious if are you selling any bronze, copper, and dull copper at 7 per? In my experience those were only good for grinding or mass weapon making. People don’t want them for armor. Iron can be used for carpenter deeds so I could get a higher price for iron than I could out of those metals. ...

The big hell cats were my love and joy of the fire dungeon (91.3 minimum I think). I used target by type as Rose suggested, and created a priority. Large hell cats were first, then hellhounds, the small hell cats, then lizards. It's the same 3 lines, you just repeat it in the macro for every "t...

I’ve never fully automated lumberjacking, but I take advantage of mechanics as much as I can. The trees are laid out mostly with a north/south alignment. I use target relative location on the west side. Then I can simply take a few steps south/north to get the next tree in one straight line. You can...

training magic resist (via fire field spell) is a great way to get some fast and easy intelligence. I usually yield 10-15 intelligence points in the 20 minutes it takes to get magic resist from zero to 55.

I've seen fish steaks given away as gag gifts in vendor lotteries for the hilarity of it. That's probably their best marketable use. Every fisherman I know tosses these over the side of the boat because they don't sell. tamers might go for them to keep their dragon herd fed I suppose...

My guess is you maxed out your skill. If you have no chance of gaining any more skill (wrestle) gains, you won’t get any more stat (strength) gains. The dummies cap out on skill at very low levels. Basically just enough so you won’t get slaughtered by cows or skeletons. If you want to advance your s...
