This thread always cracks me up. Reminds me of the first time I had a "magic" item in '98 (I still remember it: it was a magic two-handed ax that some guy gave to me at the bank; almost CERTAINLY a durable two-handed ax, but I didn't know--and since I had played Ultima 7 and Ultima 8, I just KNEW that a "magic" weapon was as good as you could get ). I also still remember almost immediately walking to the brit x-roads to show it off and getting PKed with fireballs right just as I almost reached the GZ, and being pretty upset about it... Ahh, good times. Part of me wishes I could return to my completely UO-ignorant state so that I could relive the wonder of the game...

At the bazooka house drop loot extravaganza, I was going to offer 100k for anybody who found the chainmail of defense in there and turned it in (I would have the unique ID of course). Didn't happen, though, b/c we didn't have extra money for it .

I would have fronted the money! Just ask!

Also, this thread is still hilarious...and i've read it a dozen times.

another sucessful bazooka drop today

I have in my possession ingots from the one true chainmail tunic of defense, they can be yours at 500gp each.

HA

Raptor Jesus sold his chainmail tunic of defense also.

What's the current bid on this?

More than you can afford and not enough for anyone to care.

On another note... I have saved every chainmail tunic of defense I have encountered in game simply because they crack me up whenever I find them thanks to this thread. Classic nerdery at it's best.

Oh, and in case your wondering... I am NOT selling mine... they are priceless.

Or you can just go see mine on display at my yew vendor house.

Word on the street one of the "smelt it" pioneers is working on a project.

The 'chainmail tunic of defense' is the most common piece of armour out there - not sure if its chance rate was increased after this infamous thread but im pretty sure it is.

I would have thought it would be the same chance rate as any other piece of armour but of 9198 lowend magic items I collected (usless jewellery/clothing, hardening/force and below) 169 were chainmail pieces (tunics, coifs and leggings) which is 1.8%

Of those 169 items 62 were chainmail tunics (0.7%) which is about average for any piece of armour.

But of those 62 tunics, 28 of them were a 'chainmail tunic of defence' thats 0.3% which is high!

This mean that you should receive a 'chainmail tunic of defence' for every 333 shit magic items you collect, approx.

Interesting?.....

Nice post.

You make some great points Donald.
