Rare Spawns

[Chaos]

granted i didn't play osi but it would seem to me that information was NOT shared so freely in T2A on osi. Isn't that part of the game .. knowing some thing that others don't that give you an advantage ??

Flash (Candy?): I've gotten the arrows 3 times... twice on Saturdays and once on Sunday. Unless they were changed, I don't see how they would sit from Tuesday until the weekend.

I myself Cutpurse, looted them Tuesday at 6:51 AM the week after Flash quit, he told me they were spawning and sure enough, they did

Odd how the people who put non of the effort into finding any of these rare spawns or timers feel Entitled to them, as if they are somehow owed this information.
Do what the rest of us did. Spend countless hours roaming the world looking for stuff. Marking locations that you think may have a spawn and checking them relentlessly.
You are no more than freeloaders piggybacking on the hard work of others.

you guys seriously have to leave me out of this. I posted a few times cause this thread is hilarious but seriously, leave me out

No one's owed anything. A player decided to make his knowledge available to the public, he made a post about it, and that's that. Making your work available to others for free is a vital part of this game, and it's something most of us do because we benefit from it ourselves. Otherwise, we'd all be sailing to Ice Island to mark our rune there.

Not to mention the difference between, scouting and doing the leg work for these rares when hardly anyone knows about them, vs doing the same thing when a group of players have the spots and timing on lock down.

you missed the entire first post obviously

I applaude what Caswallon is doing here, though I do think his claims of some crazy conspiracy are unfounded. I had always thought of making a rares rune library, at least for most of the rares I knew of, but my greed always got the better of me. Rare hunters sell these locations to one another for very large quantities of gold. I recently found out that someone who had told me they were going to keep a particular location secret, had in fact been selling the location. I've no need for gold, I always wanted rare locations simply to collect the pixels themselves, but I am glad a rare hunter is finally giving these locations to the public for free.

Here are all the T2A spawns I know of (I do not know if they all spawn or not anymore):

Crystal Ball spawns in a chest in the Ice Fiend lair in Ice Dungeon. (must be stolen)
Pot of Wax spawns on the second level of the Inn in Delucia.
Empty Tub spawns in the stables in Delucia.
Wig and Wig Stand spawn in the orc fort outside Delucia.
Hay (full, not scattered) spawns in the fenced-in stable area in Papua.
Canon Balls spawn on a boat in the Papua docks.
Sheet Music spawns in the star room in Terathan Keep.

Well since everythings public now, how about going a bit farther and accually giving something away that we don't know.

Knitting, hanging armors, skull candle. That would make this thread complete and atleast throw a bone to those of us who have just had our fun ripped out from under us for simply being nice and sharing locations with cas.

[Silverfoot]

Knitting spawns in the locked chests in tailor shops.

Derrick et al. will most likely be adding new rare spawns and removing old ones as time goes on, so you'll get to have your fun again. There might even be rares out there now that no one knows about.

Crystal Ball spawns in a chest in the Ice Fiend lair in Ice Dungeon. (must be stolen)

Noob question, but what do you guys mean "must be stolen"? Do you steal and target the chest, or do you need to unlock/open the chest and then steal the item while it is visible?

[Silverfoot]

I don't think the chest is locked. You open the chest and target steal the crystal ball, it can't be picked up normally.

[Hoots]

I don't think the chest is locked. You open the chest and target steal the crystal ball, it can't be picked up normally.

right,. found some of these in bucs den. You open the chests but it wont let you drag the item out of the chest. SO you have to target steal it.

[Mikel123]

Interesting, OK cool thanks!

tekai, that is the beauty of UO... Look at this as a new challenge! Why not actually create a rares maphia and get some reds and theifs and takes these public locations back? If you know the spawns then you know when players will be coming...

I guess what im saying is... almost everytime "the fun is ripped out" of something in UO it provides for opportunity to make "new fun"... That is what is so great about a sandbox game like this.

As far as rare values go... im sure if one must navigate ruin blocking, trapped chest placing, theiving, murdering rare collectors on top of being there when something spawns it will only increase sell prices!
