Tameable Animals – Tameable Monsters Creatures are listed by skill level, the minimum level needed, where there is only a 0.2% chance of successfully taming the creature. Each time an animal is retamed by an additional person, the minimum taming requirement is increased.

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.

Spellweaving is the spellcasting skill of an Arcanist, it is markedly different from magery. The arcanist is able to summon powerful forces of nature and manifest them into various spell effects. To attain the full power of his art the Arcanist must work in concert with others to cast an ‘arcane focus’. This need for co-operative effort is one of the features which sets Spellweaving apart from other spellcasting schools.  An Arcanist having the Spellweaving Mastery active is able to cast a lesser focus alone. The first difference you will encounter is the inability to select spellweaving as a starting […]

The more powerful a spell you wish to cast, the more mana each spell requires you to expend.

There are sixteen spells in all, those skilled in Mysticism are known as Mystics. Mysticism uses four special reagents, Bone, Daemon’s Bone, Fertile Dirt, and Dragon’s Blood, in addition to the eight magery reagents. […]
