UO Second Age

I never played UO back in the T2a days, so i have a simple question to ask people who did tmaps back in the day:
Did Balrons spawn in lvl5 tmaps? As of right now they don't and I'm just curious if this is correct or not.

i thought they did ... but mighta been uo:r

I thought they did.

At the bottom of this page you'll find the creatures that spawn from each chest:

Derrick,

That link shows that Detect Hidden is needed for lvl 5 chests and that you only need 95% lockpick. That doesn't hold true on this shard does it?

The following is an indication of the types of creatures you should expect to spawn when you open the chest, and when remove items from it*:

* Level One: Mongbats, Orcs, Ratmen, Headless, Skeletons, Zombies (0-6 total)
* Level Two: Orc Mages, Orc Lords, Gargoyles, Gazers, Hellhounds, Earth Elementals (4-10 total)
* Level Three: Liches, Orc Lords, Ogre Lords, Dread Spiders, Air Elementals, Water Elementals, Fire Elementals (5-10 total)
* Level Four: Dread Spiders, Headlesses, Liches, Lich Lords, Daemons, Elder Gazers, Ogre Lords, Orc Mages (5-10 total)


* Level Five: Balrons, Lich Lords, Daemons, Elder Gazers, Poison Elementals, Blood Elementals (10-15 total)

Thanx for the link derrick, I see that it does list balrons as part of the spawn for lvl5's. So does this mean somthing is broken for the lvl5 tmap spawn? As I already stated I've started doing them, 6 in total, and balrons havn't been spawning.

Side question for lvl4 spawn:
Level Four: Dread Spiders, Headlesses, Liches, Lich Lords, Daemons, Elder Gazers, Ogre Lords, Orc Mages (5-10 total)
What's a headlesses? It already had Headless listed for lvl1 tmap spawns. Seems to be a typo of somekind, again just curious.

Seems a bit off to me. Orc Mages and headless ones on a level 4? I can't ever remember that happening.

One thing that is NOT correct here for sure, even though its super minor, is that level 1 maps are not supposed to have an initial spawn on monsters; only when you move items in the chest are they supposed to spawn.

I think I've been getting lvl 4 tmaps on Ice Fiends is that right?

That list is known to be way less than accurate, and Balrons were removed for that reason a long long time ago on UOSA. I've added Balrons and Dread Spiders (which I personally remember) to 5's for tomorrow.

Derrick, can you tell me what the current treasure maps are based off of, if it isn't this stratics page?

Are the gold and items atleast correct?

More importantly, could I be doing level 5 maps right now without GM lockpick? Inquiring minds want to know.

Im alittle confused, exactly what mobs currently drop Level 5 Tmaps? Also should LLs, Elders, Balrons, and certainly the AW be droping them?

Detect Hidden skill is not needed... is it?!?

It is not. Most of the info on lockpicking and detect hidden is unsubstanciated as far as I've seen.
