[DHMagicMan_1]

Just for clarification... are you saying we can CRAFT the HITCHING POSTS which are 11th Anniversary items or are you saying you've added the ability to craft the ROPES which renew charges on your Hitching Post when it's used up?

 

[canary]

So how do you claim these xmas gifts? On TC there are a lot of confused ppl, lol.

I was wondering the same thing.

 

[DevilsOwn]

I've got a few characters on test that are over a year old, nothing in their banks or packs

maybe there's a gate somewhere? I didn't poke around a lot

Hey! No opening your gifts before Christmas!

(translation: you cannot claim the gifts on TC, you only get to see them when Pub 57 goes live)

They probably mean what they say about crafting the hitching posts, as crafting the hitching ropes is already live on the tinkering crafting menu.

Hitching post is craftable....need at least 3 special ingredients.
1 that doesnt show up on the list.
1 is the rope
and the other, is a minor arty...I'll let you login to test to figure that one out.

 

[AirmidCecht]

Color me a bit cornfuzzled. What was the hint from Joanne leading to?

 

[Gheed]

It puts the lotion on its skin...

Looks like some nice changes and additions in the pipe.

and only see the ones that were already there.

Slime Event

Slimes are on the move! Driven out of their dungeons by the dark forces corrupting the land, a special variety of slimes are making random appearances throughout the world for next few weeks after publish. Researchers have discovered that these specially hued slimes can dye artifacts and magically enhanced items! They tend to stay in an area for two days before moving to a new location and shifting their hue.

There are a total of 35 colors: 30 minor tokuno dyes, and 5 new hues.

ITS ON N/S AMERICAN SERVERS!!! MUHAHAHAHH!!!!!!

In regards to this, it is only going to be a similar event. I was hoping to dye my clothes the AoS colors.

 

[Heimi]

Craftable bookcases..I love you devs

 

[FireKitten]

*twitches whiskers* I like to peek at the prezzzzzzzzzies!!! Dang it! Now i gonna have to pace back and forth waitin!!!! *paces*

 

[sapphirediablo11]

You can do what every kid does... hack EA mythics and find out, and delete your trace route afterwards, and put some more wrapping on top so that it looks like new... oh wait... that is not right... something is wrong there :\

 

[Doireann]

Has anyone found the bookcase in the Carpenter menu? I have looked
and only see the ones that were already there.

It's under containers, the last item. It needs twenty five logs and... *scratches her head* sumthin' else.

 

[Deb]

Ohhh, the bookcases are cool only question is what is the other ingredient
we need?

 

[sapphirediablo11]

probly books lol... ohh make things fun... arty books muhahah soon my low level doom arties will be worth something@!!!@!@!!

 

[Deb]

Hmmm...makes sense....and I am kicking myself for all the wooden
steeds I turned in lolololololololol.

 

[JC the Builder]

I am glad to see that the drop rate for the new items on champions has been significantly reduced. This will make it last a lot longer.

 

[Flora Green]

Yeah betting it's books from Doom since the steed is for the post.

Regarding the slime, they really don't want us to have the ToT 1 dyes back.

 

[Crysta]

I grabbed all the stacks of artie books and it says I don't have the components.. so scratch that.

 

[GalenKnighthawke]

I am glad to see that the drop rate for the new items on champions has been significantly reduced. This will make it last a lot longer.

I'm glad they reduced it too, but let me point out that the non-PoF-ability of these items basically guarantees that these items will most likely always need to be farmed.

Even if they hadn't turned down the rate.

But yeah, it's still good that they have....90% for something was far, far too high.

[Flora Green]

Hmm..not books. Maybe scrolls? Or npc books.

 

[Gheed]

Hmm I bet it's something you have to buy. Doing this without purchasing something would prolly **** the JPN players smooth off.

 

[Nine Dark Moons]

ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you almost made me spit out my eggnog

 

[GalenKnighthawke]

Very surprised there isn't more open enthusiasm for the slime event.

I mean come on now.....How much did people want this until it's happening, and now there's even a few negative things about it???

[Nine Dark Moons]

i'm hoping some of the colors = the 100% AoS colors, but probably that's just wishful thinking... but YAY FOR our OWN SLIME EVENT

 

[JC the Builder]

I don't think many people knew about it. Plus I doubt the number of players who truly fuss over the color their equipment is very high.

There is one person in our guild who would love for it to happen, but when it came up the other 2 dozen people in the room were pretty meh about it.

i'm excited
most of the fun of the japanese slime event was stalking the slimes and trying not to die long enough to get some bolts dyed LOL... my fondest memory is trying to get to the one deep inside Doom LOL... holy hell that was hilarious

There was considerable agitation on these boards for this to happen.

More than you saw, I guess.

I'm kinda wondering where all the agitators are now.

Personally I think this is going to be fun for a lot of people. I'm not one of them, but I'm betting it's going to be really fun for a lot of people.

I saw the topic. The Stratics forum community is skewed towards this type of thing so you will get a lot of people wanting it on here. I bet a sizable number of people here would also be for pet dye tubs.

oh it TOTALLY should be.

 

[Nine Dark Moons]

i am personally psyched for the slime event. but pet dye tubs? i'm totally on the "just say NO" side of that one!

 

[sapphirediablo11]

Techno coloured clothing is bad enough... (even though i like it...) we should NEVER EVER IN ANY CASE... except test centers ... ON SHARDS HAVE COLOURED PETS... that are different from their natural base colours.

Clothing = meh i like but sometimes eye sore...

Pets = NONONONON!!!!

people = lets not start that

We wanted it as a gift. We didn't want to have to either fight a scripting spawn camper for it, or pay outrageous Luna prices...

He's tall, dark, and verrrrrrrrrrry handsome. Definite eye candy with brains. My guess is he would look good in a gunny sack (or nothing at all!).

For Anyone who's logged on and done some testing.. 2 questions....



1)

Stone Skin Lotion: Insurable. On use, increases player Physical Resists by 30 but reduces his Fire and Cold Resists by 5. Cannot be combined with any other Balms or Lotions. Duration 30 mins.

Can this increase your physical resist above the 70% cap?


2)

Players can now steal various items from monsters:

A given monster can be stolen from once in its lifetime
Gold, bandages, gems, potions, scrolls
Thieves with GM skills or higher have a chance at stealing rare items
Seed of Life, Mana Draught, Gem of Salvation, Balm of Strength, Balm of Wisdom, Balm of Swiftness, Balm of protection, Stone Skin Lotion and Life Shield Lotion.

It says monster in the description but does this mean ANY "creature" in UO or does Monster exclude things like Cows / Chickens / Aligators / "natural" critters ?

 

[Petra Fyde]

when was the last time you killed a cow that was carrying Gold, bandages, gems, potions, scrolls?

 

[siyeng0]

when was the last time you killed a cow that was carrying Gold, bandages, gems, potions, scrolls?

It was when I'd been playing for about two months and looted a katana from a rat that I realised that Sosarian animals don't go wandering without preparing themselves. So, you never know.

(We're not even going to get into the platemail I've looted off ice snakes. Where do they keep it?)

 

[Thalidar]

what are Transcendence scrolls and i dont suppose anyone knows anything about the new colors u can loot? Ty for ur time.
