UO Second Age

Wondering if this shard has them, and if not, if there are any plans to install them.

Not sure if there are any plans to, I've only been playing this shard two weeks or so; however, from everything I've read on the forums and seen in-game it is a t2a only shard, which does add so much more enjoyability to the game.

yea they're not t2a accurate, I don't see these being installed anytime

That's a real shame. From a mechanics perspective they don't really do anythign to detract from T2A quality of the game. I always liked them because I lovep laying crafters. THe problem I have is that shards like these allow multi-accounting which means any serious player has their own crafters on hand eliminating the need for guys like me who do it as a primary character. BoDs always gave me somethign positive to work towards in the absence of "true" bulk orders by players who didn't have the time or the characters to crafter their own gear...

Smiths make great ass armour that you can sell for quite a bit here to players or on vendors.

Not everyone has their own crafter. There have been quite a few popping up lately, but there's still a definite market for mules...and a few niche markets that are still relatively empty.

A crafter can make some serious gold here if you are spec'd right.

Get alchemy going and I will buy poison kegs from you once I get some more gold flow goin.

We plan not to have bulk order deeds. I think you'll find most players don't have their own mules, crafting here is much harder than most other skills.

Welcome to Second Age.
and great nick too

What...can you tell that when Im not crafting Im a bard at heart? On a typical shard I start off with a crafter to make money for a house to train up my mage/bard to do some serious PvM to fun the crafter in resource heavy skills like poisoning and alchemy. It's a good model for growth I've found.
