new here wit some questions

[anarchy]

first off and formost i have to say you have a very beautiful shard. i'm normally used to total pvp, but sometimes you get sick and tired of having one finger on the recall macro. i very much want to say thanks to everyone for answering my questions. but... i have a few more.

which (at 100 dex) is the fastest weapon that can be poisoned. i'm gmed in all combat skills.
at 100 magery how manytimes do you fizzle casting engery vortex. also can i cast 8th level at 100 magery?
what would you spend +60 skill gain on. i'm thinking poisoning so i can poison the harder monsters and wait for them to die.
people say taming. why? i'm not a collector of pets.
i have seeds red and blue. what do i do wit them.
how can i macro provoc when it won't even go up manually.

there maybe more questions to come. also, yes i read everything in the wiki, but some of the craftables aren't listed. like archery... you can only craft a couple of special bows. any chance of a poison/elven bow? blacksmithing... i found a platimum heater, but it's worse than the gold metal sheild i'm carring. better in ac and better in resistance and special. why? shouldn't the hardest craftable be better than something i found on a liche? i know i'm such a pain in the glut.

spell casting timer. need to know. 3/6 or 5/6?
best weapon you say is the lance. what's the next best thing.

want to say once again thanks for the help. also for people with razor cliloc problems. well i get that but i ignore it and it works fine. i had to re-install uo from your dl page. re-install razor and change the registry again. also you need to make sure your targetting the right client on the main page. yes i'm using vista 64 bit and window 7 works better on window 7 though.

hello and welcome, since i love questions im going to handle out some awnsers, but beware they might jues be LIES

about the fastest weapon i would advise a katana or a kryss, but since in this universe u can get your dex really hight and use
swing speed increase on your items u can have any weapon swinging at max speed, thus u shld have that in mind picking one.

on magery i believe u can always cast a circle like 10points higher then ur actual skill, this is; at 20% u can cast third cicle, at 50% u can cast sixth circle and so on, if u are maxxed make sure you have the protection spell on and try to get a powerscroll for that.

animal taming is not close from being hard to raise since its also a crafting skill around here, just buy a brush(tool) from a animal tamer npc and start crafting up, my advice would be to macro the resource movement and gump response with razor.

about the plant sistem and other referal you need u can us "uo stratics"( jst look up on google) it has the most information u need on crafting items/artifacts, skills, monsters, locations,
some %values might be wrong but its essentialy the same as in Excelsior, good luck and hope to see you soon

oh about cast speed, i forgot, annyhow i can only tell you that Faster Casting is maxxed on +4 and Faster Cast Recovery on +6.

thank you

what would you spend +60 skill gain on .. people say taming. why?

There is a breeding system implemented on this shard, letting you level up pets and increase their stats. For example a bred-up rabbit could (and can) compete with a fresh-tamed White Wyrm. Having three to five 1000+ HP meatshields between you and the light can give a pretty nice buffer to work with. ^^

you can only craft a couple of special bows. any chance of a poison/elven bow?

You can make Elven bows (and get poison dip tubs for arrows via fletcher bods), but Yumis are probably the most popular because of its Armor Pierce. The special moves on the Mondain's Legacy bows aren't working right now, unfortunately.

how can i macro provoc when it won't even go up manually.

A relatively easy way is to find a house that is designed to keep two released pets separate from each other, yet still visible. The pets will probably disappear after a short while, though.

i found a platimum heater, but it's worse than the gold metal sheild i'm carring .. why?

I don't know, [pm me and we'll take a look.

best weapon you say is the lance. what's the next best thing.

Lance is alright, but I'm more of a two-hander guy - Axes are awesome since they give a good damage bonus if you have high Lumberjacking. Plus if you get Bushido it will help you block with it.


If you have any questions, just ask in global or refer to the Wiki / UOGuide / Stratics.
Happy hunting!

how can i macro provoc when it won't even go up manually.

From 37 to 81.1 you can macro prov off summoned EVs. I used an euo script plus a razor macro to automate this (the macro generated the EVs and the euo script provoked them).

Above that, you can start using prov as you hunt more interesting things.

I'm 55 and my older brother and sister play here sometimes. There are lots of other older folks here.

There are lots of Americans, too, though I'm from Canada.
