It´s still down....................

Is the server host away for the weekend?

First of all one i find really annoying is that while valorite fletching tool is available on the VS store and at the same cost of varlorite Runic hammer its not available on vet rewards .
Im guessing that maybe the item existed after the vet rewards were set up.

Another item i requested before and is really badly needed is similar tier tinker tools.I imagine it would be easy enough to implement as you just apply the same properties as val hammer etc to the tool.
The reason this is a big deal is because 2 of the most commonly used poisoning weapons in UO require tinker tools to craft.Cleaver is one my personal favorite UO weapons of all time but without a val tinker set it leaves me forced looking to whatever options i can craft with val hammer for obvious reasons.

Gargoyles quest -  even though it may be considered mid tier it really is the gateway quest for players to get somewhat decently geared to engage in much of the custom content.Im suggesting one of the following changes to help the newer players a bit.
Option 1 - decrease the frequency of the elemental bosses skill that freezes you.
Option 2 - decrease the frequency of elemental spawns from the boss
Option 3 - slight rework of boss spawn location so as to be in an area where the Gargoyles cant respawn and kill the new player with ease.

I know we have custom classes in game but maybe one could be worked on to encourage players to use sword and board.Regardless of the argument of extra stats because an extra piece of equipment  i feel this server heavily pushes warriors to useing 2 handed weapons.partly due to the existing new classes that wield staff and also because on this server bushido is showing to have such a huge advantage over sword and board in combat.

Player towns - How about creating some interesting player towns with their own moongate in the centre.
Admin could choose what buildings to put there to create the town and then put the townhouse buildings on an auction event.
The way i´d work the auction for this would be 1 town house allowed per account.
Bidding on auction could be done by VS or gold(whichever seems better idea)
Larger houses in the town would also have minimum reserves but if nobody could meet the reserve they´d be available again at the next auction event.
You could even phase them in like say have custom auction events but only 1 or 2 of the houses get unlocked for auction each week or month.
The benefits from these player towns would be that they would be moongate acessible meaning it would be a lot better for new players and old players too that could go there and check out peoples vendors.

Player venders -  Half those teleport spots lead to places without vendors.Can they they inactive ones be deactivated and instead place the locations into a player rune library book?

Got the email the other day.Ive reinstalled and logged back on.Will see how things go.

thnx man still closed server ım waiting 1.5 days :/

Just so you know this servers uptime is generally higher than most UO shards.
I dont think ive ever seen it down this long and im guessing its possible that the owner of the server is away as it is the weekend of a well known holiday.
Its just unfortunate that it went down when you signed up.Hopefully they will have it sorted next week and i hope you enjoy it here.
The server has a lot of fun custom content so there is much more to do on this shard than other uo shards.

Hey Sebastian are you new to the server?If so welcome.

Well with the Necromancy for warriors its debatable as the custom monsters this hard have higher damage with fire considered as part of their melee attack.And then you have fireball casts too of course.So say i want to go sampire build.Vampire form gives you 20% of damage as life leech.So you´re more often than not going to gain less from the constant life leech in damage on single target bosses than the hp you get back from dog form in ninjitsu which gives you 40 hp regen per sec.
Now if the vampire forms life leech works on say multiple foes you whirlwind.I dont know if it does work like that or not.Maybe you might know? then it could be a valid tradeoff against the resistance penalty but it would still be debatable.

So there was some fake imformation online about focus attack and how it works.Some said it increase hit life leech hit magic etc % chance.
I found the corect info and tested it.
SO how it works is besides giving you bonus damage it increases the damage of any hit magic weapon properties on your weapon.
On my necro for example with ninjitsu hit lightning jumped from 6-7 damage to 9 damage.

The other thing im trying to get my head around is the mixed info on hit magic.Some are saying magery affects the damge on top of inscription and eval int and then some say it doesnt.

Basically since UO had some big updates that changed a lot of game mechanics a lot of the info you can find now doesnt relate to most shards that were started before the big changes.

Anyway just a few questions i cant find correct info about and was wondering if you guys could help.

HP regen.Is it capped on this server for items and if there is an overall cap what are the caps on this server?
Does Bushido work to parry with ranged weapons on this server?
Does hit poison area include poisoning skill lvl for damage or just go off the usual hit magic skill checks.
What bonus % does focus attack ad to hit % on hit leech/magic etc.
Is poisoning still a useless skill on this server?I remember previously that most custom content was just set as immune to poison on this server?
Do the form changes from necromancy still have the resist penalty on this server?(If they do it would make necro warrior builds unusable against custom monsters)
Are the mondains legacy specific weapon skills and artifacts implemented on this server?
At what point does the dex stat stop having affects on weapon speed and bandage heal?

I know they appear in packs.I generally use the word drop for when you get artifact XD.
No weight issues.And no message about artifacts going into my pack.Maybe check the logs on my char.Could it be possibly that the system registered one or 2 as dropping but the drop in bag affect never occured?

Paragon creatures are only dropping chests now.
Farmed paragons all day today.Got about 10 chests.No minor artifact.My character has over 1k luck.
Thats not having a bad day farming there is something wrong with the drop tables.Either the artifacts have been removed from drops or switched off or artifact chance rate has been nerfed into the ground.

Since ive returned i have replenished some of my stores wares.
I have more equipment not on sale so if there is somethign specific you are looking pm Stragen

Many years have passed since the Lord Abraxius dealt the final blow leaving Stragens body lifeless and cold.
Many assumed this was his demise.Though none dared to enter the Lords lair for fear of sharing the same fate.
4 years have passed.As a farmer is digging to plant crops his shovel hits an object which ring sounds of steel.
Uncovering more of the soil reveals some kind of armor.To his shock he discovers that the armor is attached to a body.
Having no idea of who this slain warrior was the farmer brought the corpse to Magincia.It was there that Dargor identified his fallen comrade.

And so fate led this legendary Warrior to the hands of a necromancer.Now Stragen is among the living again.
His body has been saved.But has his soul?

But maybe thats a question for another time.
First he must avenge his death.The flames of vengeance burn bright
