Ink Slinger

Ink Slinger By EM Malachi The magic quill transcribed faster than any human, and the dancing feather point left the ink dry and the page slightly warm. Bundor Bard skimmed a final time for mistakes before adding the paper to the pile. He handed the full bundle of The Town Cryer off to a courier. “Get these to West Britain immediately.”   Bundor had nearly finished editing a retrospective on the Time Between Crowns, when Lady Machiavelli recalled into his office. She unceremoniously dropped a bag of mismatched pages on his desk. “A brief summary of the Governors’ Meeting, the […]

The Town Crier

The role of the lowly Town Crier was greatly expanded in publish 99 (Spring 2018); using the “news” speech command or double clicking a town crier NPC brings up not one item of interest, but the entire Town Cryer newspaper.

The Trade Window

Face to face trading between players is carried out through use of the trade window.

Dropping on the head is not recommended as the object could fall onto the floor. The trade window looks significantly different in the two clients, but performs the same. The item to be traded appears in the window:   At the top of the window you will see the balance of your currency account, in classic […]

Armor Choice

As with all things in Ultima Online there’s an element of ‘give and take’ in selecting the right armor for your character. Crafted suits of armor may conform to a particular style, while characters who choose to build a suit from monster loot are more likely to select an item for the magical properties and resistances it offers, resulting in a mix of styles. Mages, Necromancers & Spellweavers The choice here appears relatively simple, these skills need mana to cast and the most obvious way to replenish that mana is through meditation skill. Armor made from, or containing metal or […]
