1 UO Stratics Regarding the loot table for Charybdis, at present the few we’ve been able to do seem to only ever give a Regeneration Piece drop to the summoning fisher. As that’s usually me, I don’t know what happens for the others, but they’ve reported seeing a message that I get the drop. Does this mean there’s nothing special on Charybdis for those who help kill him, or are there mysteries still to be found deep within the wobbly bits of this most rare of encounters? (Adol )  Misk- Aside from the standard loot found on the corpse of […]

1. UO Stratics From Pub 81 : – The looting rights threshold has been lowered for all mobs. Can you give us some more details on this change? How it works in compare now then before pub 81. With some % would be nice to make us better to understand. (Kelly O’Brian of Drachenfels.) Bleak: As mentioned before loot rights are broken up into three separate totals (damage dealt, healing done, and damage received ) which are combined to equal the players looting right score. The looting right threshold is based on the highest looting right score which is use […]

If you have any crafting questions or other UO related questions, be sure and submit them to your favorite fan site so our developers can answer them. UOCraft.com Regarding Powder of Fortification: would it be possible to add a menu option that asks how many PoF charges to apply to an item, instead of clicking over and over for each charge? (Coral) Kyronix: we have gotten this request several times on various items.  It will […]

In this week’s Ask and Answer we have some very informative answers from the developers including a holiday appropriate question about bunnies. Enjoy! UOForums Easter is coming. So… Would you consider adding Vorpal Bunnies to the loot system that powers Shame/Covetous/Wrong? Perhaps equivalent to a mid-level monster to recognize how agonizingly slow it is to grow green thorns? Would you consider adding a (very) rare Vorpal Bunny statue drop? Would you consider adding Vorpal Bunnies to the list of sources for the upcoming release of armor system-related ingredients? Would you consider adding various imbuing ingredients to the list of Bunny […]

We have another Ask and Answer for you and this one is full of great ideas that will help us to make Ultima Online even better. So go to your favorite fan site and submit those questions and ideas. We may even feature yours next week! Ultima Online Bibliothek Why is such a huge amount karma granted when choosing the “nice” option to fight Exodus? Participating two or three times in the fight easily capped my karma. Zero to 20k took years, 20k to 32k was done in minutes. That really cheapens the continuous dedication of being “kind”. (Pcuvush) Kyronix: […]
