Nice idea.. Where is it located?I saw this on my shard. Such a smart idea. Never would have thought of it.
Another handy trick is using the trash can.Great Lakes - Marble Island.
What I can't figure out is how he was able to fill in the spots where there was an arch on the main floor preventing placing a paver and raising it. Gotta be a trick to it.
The easiest way to put pavers around the wall is with a ladder, caslte style... then on the 3 hight places where you can stand, click a goza onto yourself and lower those 3 into their desired height +1, once you're finished, just lay pavers on top of the gozas, lower the pavers once (-1) so they are at the correct desired height, and redeed the gozas. Only the 4the floor is a bit harder since pavers cant go above a certain height.. there you have to lower the paver, redeed the goza and raise the paver to its max again.It can! I'd seen many castles and some keeps with an extra floor, going as far as the north-east corner, so I knew it had to be possible. While I'd tried and tried again with goza mats, it didn't work. But pavers do exactly what I need.
Go to north-east corner outside the building, put on circle of transparancy, place, lift with house placement tool and ready.
Thanks so much!
The next days, I won't be bored, gathering approximately 5K granite and then crafting the necessary 1300 pavers to create an extra floor.

Wow - really great work! Thank you for sharing.I went outside to the NE corner, placed my paver, went back inside to double click it and the lifted it with the tool. And when I had it on the required height, I could place a goza on it too.
But I'll see once again if I can get the ladder system within my stride too.
Thank you! I've just returned from your place. It's very nice!
I made some screenies so that I can steal some of your ideas.
I particularly like what you did with the skull rug and how on the first floor you've placed the flowers on top/in front of the stairs to give the impression that it's not there at all. The composition with the lighthouse is very clever. Impressive castle!
Regarding the brass colour, someone once had a house displaying how the pigments look on stone. The owner demolished it, but I was still able to save the pictures.

Use the round bags for that. Put the item in it, stand where you want it, Axe the bag inside your backpack.Another handy trick is using the trash can.
Place the trash can (will automatically appear the exact tile your player is standing), place the item you want to place inside, chop the trash can with axe, then your item remains in the spot the trash can was.
Also works with crates etc. But super handy when you have an item that for whatever reason is not placing.
never heard that one before. I hope its not true I have pavers lifted in a couple housesSomeone told me that you're not allowed to lift stone pavers because it would be taking advantage of a bug and you can be banned for it.
Does anyone know if that's true? I find it difficult to believe because there are quite a few castles with high pavers.
Not to my knowledge. IF it were true I think half the players in UO that like deco would be banned, including me! If you lift them too high off the roof area you'll run up against the z axis ceiling height, they won't stay and you'll find them in your moving crate. I believe someone did find an exploit to defeat the ceiling height, that might get you in trouble, but I think it got fixed.Someone told me that you're not allowed to lift stone pavers because it would be taking advantage of a bug and you can be banned for it.

That does indeed sound like something bannable, and this is probably what my friend heard.I believe someone did find an exploit to defeat the ceiling height, that might get you in trouble, but I think it got fixed.
if its the stone tiles, then I will use 3 stone blocks. You can stack them on top of each other, without locking them down, then drop a stone tile on top, double click that to lock it, and move the stone blocks. That will raise them +15 in height I believe.That does indeed sound like something bannable, and this is probably what my friend heard.
Thanks for the replies, all. I'm back to lifting 900+ pavers!
If you have a house behind your house and you add another floor that does not allow the other house to see their entry anymore. That person could complain and you could be asked to remove the floor until it stops covering the front of the house behind you.Someone told me that you're not allowed to lift stone pavers because it would be taking advantage of a bug and you can be banned for it.

The max height is 74, even if you try to place a paver at 74 but say you are standing on top of a cube, the paver will revert back to your backpack automatically as soon as you try to get it out, either directly or inside a pouch.Thank you for the suggestion, @Donzer
It's indeed a good system, which on certain locations in the castle will help a lot.
I also found a macro which keeps me from going crazy. And considering who's giving that advice, I feel more resolved that as long as you don't lieft the pavers too high, you should be safe.
The only disadvantage is that the macro only seems to work in EC. There are worse things ...
