i am looking to try out the archer treasure hunter but I am going to need a bunch of blank scrolls I guess to work that skill. Anyone have a bunch for sale? Or is there a way to make scrolls from wood or anything? Thanks for your time

There is a way to make scrolls from wood. Not sure how time consuming it is though. Maybe better to farm a scribe NPC or two?
Hopefully someone else have more detailed info on the scroll making.

as per usual UOguide.com is your friend...

Wood Pulp - UOGuide, the Ultima Online Encyclopedia

You need to collect bark fragment and water to make wood pulp. Then you need inscription to make that into blank scrolls.
So basically you would need to have lumberjacking, cooking an inscription...I think you'll be better off just camping the npcs and buying from them...

On my mule I will need loads of wood, ingots, cloth stuff like that and that will take time to farm which I have never minded. My goal is to just have fun and I don't feel like I need to rush but want to work on my skills 1 by 1

I think I have some scrolls left over from training my carto and scribe. If you still need them, I'll be on in a bit.

Archer T-Hunter? Hmm... Are you sure? No summons, no pets, no invis?

I work crazy stupid hours during the week. I would love them.
You guys don't think a stealth t-hunter would work? It sounded fun but maybe I am not thinking about it right lol

There is a subforum around t-hunting on stratics. Many excellent suggestions.

Here ya go, Buddy...

[Treasure Hunting] - Whats the best T-Hunting Template?

If you ask me, I would suggest a T-Hunter with either Taming, Mysticism or Provocation... Or intelligent Combos - alot of good Infos in this thread. If you arent a hectic personality that loves to run and run and run, you shouldnt stick to an archer-thunter. Just my opinion ;-)

I have some blanks scrolls somewhere. Have you placed a house on Siege yet, if so a mailbox helps in people dropping things off.

I hear you. I work crazy stupid hours as well.
If you are soloing high level T maps you may have a rough time. In a group you will be ok. Depends on what you are doing. As long as you are having fun, I say make what you like.
My old T-hunter I was something like:
100 Musicianship
120 Provocation
120 Peacemaking
100 Magery
80 Meditation
100 Lockpocking
100 Cartography

I would area peace, provoke, summon.
Basically tie up the mobs while I loot.

See that's something I have yet to learn how to play is a bard... They seem fun but damn they are hard to learn

...and hard to train. But thanks to ROT there is no other place where you can reach 120 that easy.

Dont take me wrong, as Baby Doll said: Its all about fun. But my experience tells me, some templates are more fun and some less. Maybe an archer-thunter is exactly what fits to your playstyle. I just wanted to help :)

I get what Baby Doll is saying. But....

I have soloed lvl 7 maps on Siege. I have multiple t hunter templates. Here is what will happen to you on a stealth thunting archer:
With cart / locks / mining, you are down 300 points already. Assuming you are serious about the stealth part, you are down another 180. That leaves 240 points for archery and tactics.

With no healing, no anatomy, and no spell resists, you are not soloing any 6s or 7s in any reasonable amount of time.

Let's say you pop a 6. You can't stealth while digging up chest, so the guardians (balron, GD, elementals, lich lords, etc) will mana dump on you instantly. So, you've got to get to a healer. Guess what? Treasure chests don't always have one close by. Oh, you are in Malas? Then they essentially don't exist at all.

But you do finally get rezzed. But wait! This is siege. All your stuff is piled under a bunched of pissed off guardians. At least one of them is carrying a critical piece of your armor. You can stealth back, but now you are fighting handicapped.

Kiting around chest trying to pick off a GD without bushido, chiv, healing, anatomy, etc is NOT going to be quick or easy.

If you manage to kill them all, you still have to get the loot home.

The loot that will spawn more pissed off guardians ready to mana dump on you straight out of the chest.

Bleak picture.

T hunting solo here is challenging. Fun, but challenging. I'm telling you this to save you some heartache.

Taming, mysticism, spellweaving, barding, even necro (with new mastery) can all compliment t hunting. Archery....eh...not so much.

...that is, essentially, what I wanted to say. But you performed so much better than me. How about inviting Planters to a T-Hunt in a nice group so that he can experiment a bit and meet some nice people? Wait - a new idea for our 6. PVM-event in May/June. Good idea?

Sounds good, I haven't gone on a Thunt since Chessie but I'm good at running around being chased by monsters. :p

90 up Provo & Discord can be done hunting Greater Boura. Provo them on each other to wear their hp down and Discord them each time the RoT times out.

Ok that makes sense. I just didn't know if it would work. Never had an archer and I love treasure hunting. Wasnt thinking about the death and gear staying behind lol

See this is a skill I have really yet seen to be done good solo. I would love to learn all this stuff. Makes it sound fun to try new things. Still makes me with to have more than the 2 toons I get with both my accounts.

As for bard, a mystic bard can do damn near anything PvM. My prodo garg Vedder has 120 music / provo / disco / mysticism / focus / the rest in mage / med. Move mounted while having an RC or two Vollems getting bard buff AND casting, yeah, **** gets real. Ask Garth, he runs a bard on Siege but uses vollems and necro (I prefer myst but tomato / tomato ).

Ok is there a "timer" for when you Provo or peace something? Can you only do 1 per 30 seconds or can you do a "area" peace to stop a full crowd?

You can cast Peace on yourself for an area effect. I trained Peace that way from zero while Tanivar was sitting watching Landreu craft things for his vendors. The good old Attended Macroing scene.

One more comment here, but I only use peace for two things: taming ornery critters and bard mastery. Provo and disco are way more powerful for general badassery.

Area Peace can be rather nice when your hunting where bad things play and wind up in deep puppy chow, it can let you get away unmunched. :gee:
