Begging

Begging is a skill that, other than role play, only really comes into its own during the short period around Halloween when Trick or Treat is active in game.

Initial training in the skill can be bought from gypsy npcs in Trammel or Felucca but not in Ilshenar, to continue training use the skill from the skill list or via a macro and target any npc. Below is an explanation of […]

Animal Taming

Introduction Playing a tamer character in UO is a unique experience, being a partnership between player and pixels. Many otherwise level-headed players will admit that, while their head tells them it makes no sense, their heart harbours a totally illogical affection for the bunch of pixels that constitutes their favourite pet. Skill Details Animal Taming is the skill used for taming animals and tameable monsters. In conjunction with the skill ‘animal lore’ it also determines your level of control over a particular pet. The formula for calculating this control can be found on the animal lore page. Not all animals […]


Special Moves

Warriors have the ability to expend their Mana to perform intricate maneuvers with their weapons to devastating effect. Each weapon type in the game has a unique combination of a primary and a secondary special move. The first (primary) special move can be executed by ‘Expert’ warriors, ie those with 70 skill. The second special move requires that the warrior attain ‘Master’ level in their skill (90). Only real skill points are taken into account for this, skill enhancing jewels or other items are not counted. In most cases a complementary skill is required to perform these maneuvers. This is […]


DEADLY AMBITION

At a recent general meeting, Pitmuck goblin leader Ozog Giantfart declared that King Blackthorn’s recent absence constituted dereliction of duty (in so many words), and that he would be holding a Council meeting–in King Blackthorn’s own Council room–for his own coronation. On Wednesday, August 19th, that is exactly what he did. At an informal and likely treasonous Council gathering, Ozog invited the Britannian governors and Pitmuck goblins to celebrate what he called a “bloodless coup”. Several governors did, in fact, attend–which will no doubt be of great interest to King Blackthorn. Seated in their usual positions were Governor Victor II […]
