Ergent help

[silas]

I am new to the shard and I know this shard has a lot of features to do stuff with. But I don't think I was growing plants. I bought decorated plants (same kind of many other people) and put them under the beehives and then the pitcher of water above each hive. And I was taking care of the hives with all the potions needed.

Side note- Can someone explain stealth to me on here? Its at 38.1 I know you need GM hiding (which I do) Ive been hiding then stealthing for last 2-3 days and not .1 up. I use script on other people and they already GM stealth in a 1 1/2 days. SO I asked and someone mention try wearing heavy armor. But I can only wear a certain armor platmetal stuff. I cant wear the normal basic iron armor (to weak or something when I tried to apply it)?

For stealth I believe you need to be around other people, or there is no one to stealth from. Also, if you don't have high str yet, go to the trainer room, no armor on, and afk attack the trainer to raise your STR up.

str 107
combact skills
archery 100
fencing 80.1
mace 75
parrying 100
swords wrestling 100
tactics 100

I mean I don't get it tho. I stealth with my second character same area and never an issue raising stealth. I could be in the small house or in town or newb dungeon and no problem. I came to the shard with few irl friends that got back into uo as well. They GM stealth with my scripts as well. I just dont see why my character that has been here playing and should have more skills/str then the rest not be able to stealth. They all still got 75 combact from training dummys and lower str most likely.

Silas,

It would be good to stay on topic, and create another thread for other topics.

Now, you can have staff look into this, but it costs. I'm not sure that for 1 mill gold worth of stuff, that it would be worth paying what it costs to retrieve on a per item basis. Now, secure containers... never lock them down. Lock down items and secure containers, period.

Beyond that, be glad it wasn't your favorite leveled and relayered weapon, or your favorite relayered piece of clothing, or something sentimental. As has been said, all you lost, can be built again. I would consider demoing the house, to see if anything is there still. If not, then it may well have decayed when not properly locked down or something.

I'm more or less guessing here, but you said you had a small house? I wonder if you went over the maximum lock downs in the house? I would like to think that if you go over, you would get a message saying you were over the max. but maybe it doesn't say that and your items went poof for being over. Just a thought.

I am pretty sure you will get a message saying you are over the limit and it will not let you lock anything down so it doesn't sound to me that he was over the limit. I have gotten messages before when I hit the max.

As far as the items all disappearing, except for the fact he said he tested each and every lockdown, I would bleive that he overlooked them or targeted something else. I have lost several things over the years, including full bod books that I thought I secured but evidently didn't. Since he said he tested them, then it is going to remain a mystery I am afraid.

You need to wear leather to raise stealth and when it slows again, a combination of leather/chainmail. Do not bother with platemail as you will fail to stealth before it will have a chance to check for skill gain.

Sorry been gone for few days irl stuff. Thought Id come by to check out people replies. I know its worth the 500k to get those items back yet I guess Ill just skip it. Also for the stealth. Ive tried leather outfit and plate and I tried both mixed since I cant wear a full suit of plate. Next this shard may have that thing to where you need to be around people to raise stealth. But I got my GF I got my irl friend and his wife and a buddy that are all new here. I made them all the same macro for easyuo. And they GMd it in 2 or 3 days max after Gmd hiding. They were mostly naked or had the newb robe on. Like I said Ive tried around people at brit bank and the newbie area and the training area yet not .1 gain for days of macroing.
