UO Second Age

To avoid the possibility of deletion by greedy parties I have decided to post this here.

Either stealing or hiding (with tinkering) will allow a new character to spawn with a newbied key (the skills breakdown I used was 10 stealing, 49 tinkering, and 41 hiding)

The more likely case with this however is that any character with 45-49 tinkering starts with a newbied key. (As I made a second character with 48 stealing, 41 tinkering, 11 hiding and no key) If someone feels up to giving this a run on test to see what exact skill/mix causes a newb key (or if you already know) please give us a post here.
I'm pretty sure regardless, there's not supposed to be newb keys in the game.

I believe that the Newb Key is one of Many Random items you get from making a Tinker.... again i say, ITS RANDOM!

good luck

I believe it is random when you choose tinkering as a skill.

I made 15 characters on test and a few on the live shard and got 1, with Detect Hidden and Tinkering, 50/50.

It looks like Derrick has blocked people from making new accounts, I think, which is at least a start to curbing this.

It shouldn't be part of the random pool Thanks for the posts, and yea I hope he's working on it.

Personally, I think it's probably worth deleting all of the newbie house keys on the shard. They're not era-accurate and they're pretty gamebreaking, and at this point we don't even know what portion of them were made "accidentally" and what portion were made on purpose, knowingly exploiting bugs.

Uo Facts-Did you know stranger was the first person on the server catskills to make a stack of ingots that was 65k ingots in one stack and you couldn't draw a ingot off the stack?

YES...you are right and it's era-accurate
