Using these numbers I will give a shot at the math. Currently there are 66 Reg vendors. Currently they are refreshed every 50 mins, upon refreshing if their stock is bought out then an additional 9 is added. EX: Restock 1: 20 Restock 2: 20+9=29Derrick wrote: …
To get the calculations started, across the world there are:
29 mage vendors,
8 herbalists,
29 alchemists.
….
It is also my understanding if the reg is not bought completely out then it will revert back to its initial stock.
So to get one vendor to 999 Reagent, the follow MUST happen.Derrick wrote: …
[*]Significant vendor restock changes based on UODemo:
- Vendor restock default 50 mins (from 60)
- Vendor restock quantity goes back to default quantity when not bought out
- Vendor restock quantity increases by 9 if bought out.
- The amount and max for vendor items will now persist through a shard restart.
…
999 – (20 Initial Base Line) = 979.
979/9 (Increment in which Reagent is restocked) = 108.7777777777 (Times Vendor will have to restock)
108.777777 x 50 (Minutes for restock) = 5438.8888888888889
5438.8888888888888889/60 (Minutes in a hour) = 90.64814814815
90.64814814815 / 24 (Hours in a day) = 3.777006172839506
So to get a vendor to 999 Reagents it will take the vendor to be consistently bought out for 3.77 days. If one 50 min period time frame fails to be bought, the process will have to start over.
Granted, I this can happen, it will remain through server restarts.
Let look at the other way shall we?! Of course!
999/2 (Increment in which reagent is restocked) = 499.5
499.5/2 = 249.75
249.75/2 = 124.875
124.875/2 = 62.4375
62.4375/2 = 31.21875
31.21875/2 = 15.609375 (Initial stock is 20, so stopping here)
So, you see it would take 6 hours for a vendor to reach 999 vs 3.77 Days across all 66 vendors! However this system does reset at server start.
Now the backbone of people say is “server accuracy”
I agree. Therefore we should remove stat locks, skills locks, All Kill commands to be re-instituted and spell damage in town when cast on self does full damage.
This is how it was back then, and it was near impossible to 7x GM because of it. So the server isn’t entirely accurate and we know that, and I don’t think it needs to be, but this change will not help in the long run at all. I promise, it didn’t on OSI. Reagents player vendors were sky high until UO changed their restock methods.
Re: Patch 150 - Dec 14, 2012: Anniversary, Help, Vendors, Re
I agree 100% with Soulbreak.
It is nearly impossible to get 999 regs on a single vendor now, there is no way people will not miss a single 50 min time window in 90 hours.
Just check the vendors stocks, people are buying regs like crazy since the patch and even that way not a single vendor has reached that mark.

Skill locks are accurate to the era, and our cutoff date. All kill did not work during the era, plain and simple. Direct damage spells would produce zero damage in town, regardless of who was targeted (I am aware that ours does 1 damage, and it should be corrected).Soulbreak wrote:Therefore we should remove stat locks, skills locks, All Kill commands to be re-instituted and spell damage in town when cast on self does full damage.

Because if it is then I would like some clarification because I specifically remember it exactly how this website describes it.

UO Guide acts as a good source for general information. However, it is rarely a good source for precise information regarding actual dates. For example, UOR was not released on May 4, 2000. It was released as a phased release starting on April 17th 2000, a fact that I detail in this post. Another example is the skill gain system, which is claimed as a UOR feature. This is not the case, as the skill management system was introduced on November 23, 1999, nearly 5 months before the release of UOR. Also, UO Guide's comments on learning by watching are completely off base, given the patch notes from OSI themselves, that disabled learning by watching near the beginning of T2A (November 23, 1998 to be specific).Soulbreak wrote:Is the following correct?Kaivan wrote:Skill locks are accurate to the era, and our cutoff date.

What is reactive armor suppose to be doing? At the moment it is time based. It lasts longer the more Eval Int you have- while there may be a maximum amount RA absorbs per hit it definately doesn't go off a set amount of dmg total before it expires- it's 100% time based atm. I tested this on various things- placing RA on an ev that I had a guard (outside of town) attacking the guard swinging extremely fast did crazy dmg i'm sure and the RA lasted the same length of time- Is this how RA is suppose to be?

Hey I'm a new player and I really want to start a mage...
Ok, 50 magery/50 med. Ok got it.
Woohoo! I'm in Britain, and I've got a bunch of spells to put in my book and some regs to cast with!
Uh oh, 6 regs of each doesn't really last at all! I'm gonna go buy some more with the 100g that I have. Woohoo! I'm rich!
Wait, there's no regs to buy here. Or here. Or here. Or here. Or here. This sucks! I wanna play a mage!
What? 5-8k for a stack of 1000? WTF? I just started!
Guess I'll go back to playing WoW/GW2/D3/Whatever....
For a server that wants to attract population...ah nevermind. Deaf ears...
