Posted on by UO Dev Team

A big thank you to everyone that has taken the first steps in the Time of Legends!  The following updates have been deployed to Origin & Izumo,

  • Tweaked stats and AIs for the Dragon Turtle.
  • Fixed an issue where players who had consumed a mastery primer before completing the Mastery Quest were not receiving the mastery book.
  • Adjusted the loot on the Dragon Turtle.
  • Tweaked stats on tribe NPCs.
  • Peerless encounters now have a chance at being an objective in the Mastery Quest.
  • Treasures of Doom is now active on Origin & Izumo.
  • The Mastery Quest will now update objectives every hour and will remain the same for each player during that time based on account entitlements and VvV status.
  • Fixed issue where Hawkwind’s Mastery quest was delivering cards instead of a Mastery Book on completion.
  • Any cards received in error have been converted into Mastery Books.

October Is Here!

Posted on by UO Dev Team

It’s October in Britannia!

As many of you have noticed the pumpkin patches are once again ripe with pumpkins fresh for picking and the cemeteries have once again fallen under control of the Butchers!

Visit a pumpkin patch to find a Jack o’ Lantern.  Beware that picking Jack o’ Lanterns can summon the vicious Grimm!  Defeat the grim and you may be lucky enough to find a carvable pumpkin.  Visit a cemetery to find the Butchers, defeat them and you may find a Jack o’ Lantern carving kit.  Using a Jack o’ Lantern carving kit on a carvable pumpkin will give you a random Carved Pumpkin design that will illuminate when double clicked.  Jack o’ Lanterns and Butcher’s can be found now throughout the month of October.

Throughout Britannia NPCs will also respond to “Trick or Treat” which will give you a treat, or a nasty trick!  NPCs will respond to “Trick or Treat” now throughout the month of October.

Treasures of Doom!

The Treasures of Doom returns!  Venture deep into the depths of Dungeon Doom to recover Artifacts of Doom that can be exchanged for rewards at the Professor outside the dungeon entrance.  Treasures of Doom will be active when Publish 90 goes World Wide (assuming no issues, 10/8/2015) through November 8, 2015.

As a final note, some of you have pointed that the “Time of Legends” entitlement is not displaying in the account management page.  We are aware of the issue, and it should be resolved now.  Also remember that Publish 90 is currently only active on Origin & Izumo, so Anniversary gifts are not available on other shards until Publish 90 goes World Wide (assuming no issues, 10/8/2015).

Accounts not getting Entitlement

Posted on by Mesanna

We have discovered a few accounts that did not get the Time of Legends entitlement.  We are correcting the issue and if you have an active account (non trial account) it should be corrected this evening.


Sorry for the inconvenience and we hope you enjoy Publish 90.  If by any chance you still are having issues please feel free to contact me at Mesanna@broadsword.com.

Publish 90 to Origin & Izumo

Posted on by UO Dev Team

We are excited for the Origin & Izumo release of the Time of Legends!  You will need to patch your client to the latest version to log in to the game. We’ll also be updating TC1 to the latest version.  If you have any feedback please send it to uo@broadsword.com. We will be pushing this afternoon so expect Origin, Izumo, and TC1 to go down for a short period.  Please keep in mind that until Publish 90 is deployed world wide character transfers on Origin and Izumo are limited to only those two shards.  Character transfers between all other shards will function as expected.
