Better loot (mods) and less items. A level 6 chest should have like 25 items - not 80. Its a waste of time to pull out wand after crappy shield after leather arms with no mods.
I used to tell people that doing a T-map was like digging through an orc's garbage can.
They could go as far as 2 items per level of chest, but make them have mid range mods, with a small percentage chance at something a little better. I understand why the treasure is buried, its crap. My only question is why would someone bother to make a map showing where they buried a chest full of useless garbage.
) and the gold and dump the rest.
Yea!! while I used to have a t-hunter... I do have a fisherman.. one of my fav things to do in the game is to fish.. and do the sos's... T-hunters are able to just recall to the location of the map.. fisherman should be able to do something to ease the pain of sailing to each one.. might even make me want to use my mule again since I have a chance to get a runic with out having to do the.. very.. very... boring bod's...Pitchforks are actually quite useful. They're the fencer's dismount weapon. And as you cannot craft good pitchforks with magic properties (due to a lack of runic tinkering tools), the looted pitchforks sometimes come in handy.
Meh, just get a UBWS club. Its the perfect dismount weap... one handed, so you can use it with a shield, and a very fast base swing speed.
I would love to see types of weapons do more damage to armor as well. fighting a Macing type player or monster would totally trash your armor... and in all reality, that makes sense. I like your last sentence, "If it became so easy to build a permanent suit then UO is going to get boring really fast because PvM will be dead."!
No way. The intensity are too high. The maps are too easy to do. There is almost no danger with the right character and the maps aren't rare. They're so easily farmed. One person can do a level 6 map in like 15 minutes or less. The game will just get flooded with more uber weapons.I like your last sentence, "If it became so easy to build a permanent suit then UO is going to get boring really fast because PvM will be dead."!
Well, I play UO ONLY because PVM IS DEAD !
That can sound weird but I dont like pvm at all, and Im really happy that there are still a few games where you can play it without doing any pvm. Actually, I have a Thunter but I don't use it because the chances to get a good item is too low. Now, its better to use runic and barbed kits to get some uber stuff. Unfortunally, there isnt any runic tinkering tool so its impossible to make jeweleries and a few weapons like a cleaver
In my opinion, to make thunter interesting again, devs should change the intensity and nbr of properties of the items.
Here is an example of loot system:
Each items has % chances to have some better properties following that chart
The item should get some extra special hues
Plain map : 50% chances that the item is plainly crafted : 1-3 properties. 10% up to 100% intensity
Adeptly map : 40% chances that the item is adeptly crafted :2-3 properties 25-100% intensity
Expertly map : 30% chances that the item is expertly crafted : 2-4 properties 40-100% intensity
Cleverly map : 20% chances that the item is cleverly crafted : 3-4 properties 50-100% intensity
Deviously map : 10% chances that the item is deviously crafted : 4-5 70-100% intensity
Ingeniously map : 5% chances that the item is ingeniously crafted : 5 properties 85-100% intensity
That would be so sweet to have a system like that
however you do need to be into deco to find the use! 
Now that I know they serve a purpose, Id happily reconsider them being removed from the list of useless crap.
When things don't break all loot eventually sucks unless they constantly ramp up the power.
What we need on top:
I totally agree with the loot needing improvement.
In the defense of that loot...it sucks to unless its jewelry because crafted items will kick its arse. I mean, what a great game when the best loot in the game comes from bod scripters.
I think you mean not getting ML artifacts and instead getting those trashy Ilshenar artifacts that were susposed to be updated and ever were. I would argue that out of all those items 4 are useful for suits (Heart of Lion, Violet's Courage, Shield of Invulnerability, and Dread Pirate's Hat) and 1 is actually sought after for decorative properties (Candelabra of Souls). All the rest are junk...hopefully the fact that the junk can be turned in soon will up its a value a little though.
Damn. I would have grabbed them all but to turn into the library not to actually do. I turned in a chest full of level 5s I got from an IDOC to the library. I can do level 6s in the same time it takes me to do a level 5 and I can get barbed hides from the level 6s. Its sad when you only do t-maps hoping they will spawn with ancient wyrms so you can get hides.I think most of us are with you on the need for an overhaul. emphasis on the LONG overdue 5+ years is insane!
An indicator as to how unpopular they are, I bought a load of maps for my new Cartman then foolishly picked up 100s at a couple of IDOCS so after I GMd cartography, I just dumped over 400 level 1 and 2s and even a few level 3s at a some of the banks for folks to just pick up - in bags of 20. I popped back to see if they were moving and an hour later only a few of the bags had been grabbed and even the level 3s were still there
Wrong...they are completely soloable with a tamer using a greater dragon...actually they are pretty freaking easy. You can make a tamer t-hunter without having to give up that much.
That "publish" would be called AoS. All items went to crap then.
No one is saying that it should be in every chest or even 100 chests. They are just saying that it should be possible to get good items in chests. It is currently not possible. Treasure hunters want a reason to do maps that is unique to them and getting one decorative item or one decent suit peice in each 100 maps is not going to flood the market with uber items. It is funny how this arguement is the end all from people with finished suits though.
Unless you are one of those running the bod scripts.
Judging from another one of your posts it already is so nothing will change.
Judging from another one of your posts it already is. Also, why do you think the majority of players want uber suits...ITS NOT FOR PVP. Its so that they can do things in PvM easier. That means that PvM is the end all get all for having items be increased, and PvM itself bennefits from new decent items being introduced.
