Curious about the monsters etc you'll meet in the new event arc?

Check out our updated 'Current Event' listing on Hunter's Guide

The collapsed menu can be found at the top of the left sidebar.

For those who prefer a 'walk through' of this first act of the event arc, our esteemed reporter, Frarc has provided one in 4 beautifully written parts
http://uo2.stratics.com/quest-and-events

Of course by its very nature a 'walkthrough' is absolutely riddled with spoilers!

The walk through should help... The fighting everyone needs to do by them self or with some friends. :)

If there are still questions, I'll try to answer them.

I enjoyed the quest. Really like how it is put together. I look forward for the next parts. :)

Petra, we might have to change something on the Hunters guide.

Instead of Faulinei , you need to change that in a Shadowlord. It can be one of the three in the ships hold.

Faulinei, the Shadowlord of Falsehood.
Nosfentor, the Shadowlord of Cowardice.
Astaroth, the Shadowlord of Hatred.

Title for defeating one: Salvager of the Deep

Speaking of titles, Mine on Drachfels is getting longer :)

Are there any new tameables? Any new creatures we can allure?

You can tame the Paralithode but you can only use it to fight under the lake.

Can't use the log out and log in trick?
Even if you lose connection or get stuck in the barrel area and have to help stuck out of the dungeon the tamables go poof.


I was hoping the the glacial hued critter would be tameable ;)
Yeah, same here. Was thinking, Finally a WW on par with the GD. :(

Has anyone tried Armageddon on the Shadowlords? I know it worked for previous events on them.

Yeah. I tried it. Didn't work. Still was able to drop the Dark Wisps fast by carrying that large blackrock tho. Seemed like everyone else was having trouble with them putting up their "shield" but I never had an issue.

I liked that too put one next to my white anchor and then put the scroll on Malag's desk... Was sad I couldn't keep the Ice Wyrm Scales or the schematic.... that was a cool deed and would look awesome sitting on my desk.

They can keep the scales for me if i could tame one, or the Obsidian Wyrm! ;)


I'm still wondering what effect this does?

• Luck plays an influence throughout various portions of the quest, including the chance at receiving an artifact from the final boss encounter.

I can understand the artifact part for the boss...not yet what could happen during the quest.....

A group of us did the first part of the quest last night. The ones with luck seemed to need less fishing attempts to gain the quest item.

I wish my fisher could fight the boss, the reward would be very cool for him. What arti do you have a chance of getting off boss?

No idea to be honest, so few have completed the encounter so far.
Why your fisher?

Yesterday night on Europa I completed the first part of the quest to assemble the diving suit, and when I reached the ship the hold was already open.
I guess that somebody else had already assembled the winch before me. I wonder how long the hold stays open - maybe until the Shadowlord is defeated, or until server down?

Thanks for the guide Frarc! Was very helpful yesterday. I've got all the 4 parts of the suit. Just need to do the rest of the quest this weekend.

You misunderstood, it was the hunter's guide entry I promised to edit, and have.
That is what I am talking about is the link you provided to the http://uo.stratics.com/hunters/index.php Starting with Standard Loot: all the way down to In special cases the rating "X" might appear is centered aligned. Might look better Left Algined.

You don't need to fight the boss to get the title, only succeed in accomplishing the Quest itself.

It stays open so long as the SL is alive and until maintenance. When maintenance occurs everything resets.

Once you've gotten all the components of the suit and visited Hepler and he gives you the map.

Mmmm , i'm going to try to convince my friends to get my fisherman trough the quest..... Not sure if thats a good idea, he usualy just fight with fish. :D

Tiny FYI. For anyone who hasn't got a boat, the water off Magincia dock is deep enough for the salvage hooks.

Sorry if this has already been answered, but do you need fishing skill in order to successfully do the salvage hook portion of this? Thanks!

No. Fishing skill is not needed. But my legend fisher fished one up on the first attempt, non fisher took about 10 tries. According to some reports luck is also a way to get the artifact quicker as well.

Looks like there are lots of spoilers in here so I will ask my question. Sorry I don't know how to make a spoiler thingie.

In the sorcerers dungeon, if someone starts filling the plates but doesn't finish them, is there a way to reset ( IE empty the plates) so someone else can summon the master?? Or can a different person just finish filling the plates? It seemed like the empty plates became inaccessible when some plates were filled by another person (who left). Sorry if this doesn't make sense, my head is still spinning from that dungeon!!! :eyes:

So long as the plates are filled, the Master will come check your work. :)

I don't know if the issue I had is the same as yours but had a "duh" moment. I filled all the plates but nothing happened, tried again, still, no instructor appeared . Checked and double checked the right order, still nada. Long story short..I had been just dropping the items on the plates not realizing you had to first double click the reagent and then, click the appropriate plate. That did it, out came... "Blue Boy"!
