UO Second Age

Just get 2 accounts, 1 with a packy ( the one without stealing ) and get inside a house. Then just follow my previous post.

More questions -

What's a good way to raise Resisting Spells on a melee character? Most monsters seem to go dry on mana after a short bit and just chain Circle 1-4 spells on you as they regen mana. Gains seem to go to crap pretty quickly.

resist is one of the hardest skills to gm.. there is no short way of doing it, you just have to repeatedly cast spells on yourself.

0-30: firewall
30-60: mana drain (30-50: fireball, costs only black pearl)
60-80: energy bolt
80-100: flamestrike

46-60 can be done also using lightning, only takes 2 regs compared to manadrains 4

99.5-100 Level 2-4 Tattered Treasure Maps

Do world maps really work up to 99.5? I am at 97.0 and seem to have hit a wall... 500 maps and not even a .1 gain.

The lockpicking guide is a bit funny... I can't get any gains on gm boxes at all as the locks are too complicated. I've also found my gains stop after a while if I use the same box.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Here's how i did it. (You need theGood Lock Level to skill up. Lock level is determined by the Tinker skill when you are creating a lockable box.)

Skills gain Chart ;

30 - 54 = 40 Tinker Wooden Box.
** - 72 = 50 Tinker Wooden Box.
** - 83 = 65 Tinker Wooden Box.
** - 95 = Gm Tinker Wooden Box.

** - I cant pinpoint the exact minimum skills required to unlock those boxes , but i was always caping my skill before Switching to a higher Lock level , and it worked from 30 to 95 with the box in the chart. ( i trained 2 char up to 95 using that method. )

If you need help with that , or if you need the proper box , contact me in game or on Irc. (Shivers)

I think the max gains per box was introduced after T2A. Only took me 3 boxes to reach 95.

Hmmm, maybe I'm just expecting gains too quickly. Did you guys macro in houses or outside?

I did mine just in town.

Load up with 250 lockpicks and go to sleep for the night with the macro running. I was pretty much always maxed out on that box when I woke up in the morning.

I've got another question about Resisting Spells...

If I am casting damage spells on myself in town, but my Eval Int is locked at 0, will I still get Resisting Spells gains? Or do you need Eval Int for the gains?

EDIT: You do not need Eval Int.

Tailoring
0-30 Buy from a NPC Tailor
30-50 Make Facny Shirts
50-71.1 Make Robes
71.1-99.6 Make Oil Cloths
99.6-GM Make Leather Gorgets

Any advice on what to make from 71.1 to 99.6 now that Derrick took away oil cloths?
