UO Second Age

Was thinking of creating a money maker and reviewing the other posts I'm wondering if I can combine the two highest profittable char (Bard/Tamer)?

I was thinking this build:

Magery
Resist
Taming
Animal lore
Vet
Musicianship
Peacemaking
Provoking

I'm wondering whether the 0 med and wrestling will hurt my char? Or whether Resist would be better utilized possible for Med.

Thanks for the advice.

Fun Haver > Money maker.



One does not necessarily constitute the other.

Very true yet being new to the shard I need money to create these chars to have fun and doing some taming/provoking is at times fun. But primarily it will be used to fund my main chars plus crafting addiction.

I'd drop Peace and Resist and add in Meditation instead.

Or, even better... here's my tamer template:

Magery
Med
Wrestling
Resist
Taming
Animal Lore
Vet

IMO, you don't need Provoke if you have dragons.

Ok, ill offer some advice. First off, my advise is based on maximizing your 700 point skill cap. So if you choose to make a "fun" character as opposed to a optimized char than feel free to disregard

Taming - if you are going to put the time into a tamer you will most likely want "a tamer"... not a utility character. IMHO the best tamer build is (taming, lore, vet, magery, med, resist, wreslte) Some prefer EI in there but this character is built to have my pets kill things instead of the char. A 0 wrestle tamer can be dead very fast as everything in the game will hit you 100% of the time making it real hard to heal or anything. Same goes for a 0 resist tamer. A Eb, fire breath flamestike could = OOOooOoOo pretty quick.

Barding... First thing is peacmaking is trash in this era. Some people have found neat uses for it but generally it is a waste of skill. Also, with skill delays there is no such thing as a peace tamer as when you use peacemakig you must then wait 10 seconds to tame or hide or use any other skill.
My Bard, (Music, provo, Magery, Med, Healing, anat, hiding). He is dead if i get ganked by players but between hiding and healing that doesnt happen often. Once you hit gm music/provo you will never fail, so you only have to worry about damage taken until you target your provo's. You could swap resist/wrestle in there if you are more worried about player ganks... in any case, you arnt staying to fight. Escape is your concern.

I really do not believe in having anything less than 7x100 for my skills. It just doesnt make sense as the only skill useful at low levels is tracking... So you could do 70.1 magery (to never fail 4ths) and 29.9 tracking but thats about the only time i wouldnt have 7x.

The best advise is to make a char you will enjoy playing. The taming bard does not make much sense from and effciency stand point but if thats what you want to do i say go for it! You'll be the one logging in with him on a daily basis!

Good luck!

Provoke
Music
Tame
Animal Lore
Magery
Resist 50
Meditation 50
Lockpicking

your current build has 8 skills so you need to get rid of atleast one skill. I suggest taking out resist and peacing and adding meditation. Basically 50 resist isnt that big of a help. Also you dont need resist because chances are you will either A. escape by recalling/gating out or B. die. Remember you can have unlimited pets, and theres a tamer rolling around with like 30 pets already that just makes easy work out of PKs.
