On a semi-related note, is it possible to bump up the respawn rate on mobs, or give each individual mob its own respawn timer? Clearing an area of mobs and then waiting for them to respawn one at a time every 5 minutes just feels like an eternity.

When you say "market section", do you mean a web view of EXEX? Or are you talking about a separate buy/sell/swap sort of listing?

Is this a pet or no pet event?

Can anyone tell me where to find Fire Steeds on Excelsior? I have a BOD to fill, but I can't seem to find them.

I haven't tested it explicitly, but I believe Excelsior vendors are set up like they are on OSI production shards. In other words, the magic number is 2,000 gold. As long as you spend that or more in one transaction, it'll come directly from your bankbox. Any less, and you must have the gold in your...

Here are my thoughts (I know some of this has been mentioned before, but please bear with me). Right now, ointments and pet breeding can raise pets stats to the same maximum level, regardless of the number of control slots a pet takes - the only differentiation in stat caps is whether or not the pet...

Thanks for your help

It's a pity they don't exist as a tameable, I always thought they were a cool pet in the original game.

They're just ethereals though, right? Not pets that you can use in combat?

Do tameable Reptalons exist on this shard? I've scoured the Labyrinth dungeon but can only find the NM, Rend. I've seen a few people mounted on Reptalons in town, but I suspect they're just ethereals.

Windows Update seems to eat up a lot of vram also. I had a similar problem on my Windows 8.1 machine, but after installing all available updates and then completely shutting Windows Update off, I haven't had any issues starting UO.

I'm sorry, I should've been more clear in what I was asking.

The other runics can be obtained as BOD rewards and also as loot on resource elementals. Carpentry seems to the only one that is only a BOD reward. Why is that?

I'm still relatively new to the Excelsior shard, and I have a question for the mods. I apologize if this has been asked before. All of the various crafts' runic tools are dropped by elementals of some kind except for carpentry runics. Is there any reason for that? If not, is there any possibility th...

You could also play on the taming angle - add a new tameable (possibly a mount) that has an exceedingly low chance of spawning in the initial T-Map spawn. Or alternatively, add the new tameable as a shrunken pet inside the chest. Or alternatively (again), add a new Imp as chest loot - a chicken (etc...
