Davies Locker

[The Mule]

Im run classic.

Is there no way to filter by level or facet or sort by type (Tmap or SOS) or am I stuck with whatever I drop in next?

 

[Storm]

at this time their is no way to sort

 

[The Mule]

Thats unfortunate. It looks great though. Got it loaded with 100 maps now, and its faster to see and pick out the ones I want, though a filter option would be awesome.

 

[Tanivar]

Does it work like a BOD book quantity-wise or is it 501 house storage items to have a Davie's Locker with 500 SOS in it?

 

[Storm]

I put 65 in mine and it freed up storage

 

[T-Hunt]

I tryed it on test and it showed facet and lvl for the maps.
This was a week ago..

 

[Poo]

im curious..... if i load up my Davies Chest then wanna move it..... do i just axe it and move it?
or what happens to all the maps?

 

[Poo]

i rolled the dice and tried it.
it holds all the maps in it when you re-deed it

 

[Storm]

yes its nice feature

 

[MalagAste]

Yep tried it myself... and loving it! Freed up 366 lockdowns.

 

[Poo]

maps in the Davies Chest dont count towards storage..... at all

 

[Tazar]

Up to 500 maps and it is still just one lockdown. You can pack it up and move it without removing maps and they stay fine.

I tested that, the maps all stay in it. They are still there when you replace it.

So, getting 125 Tables, stuffing each with 500 Maps/SoSs means you can put 62,500 SOSs and/or maps in a single secure container. So that means:

Ok, I won't do ALL of the calculations, but basically, you can stuff ~250,000 or so maps/SOSs in the smallest footprint house with NO additional storage up to ~3,250,000 maps/SOSs in a caste WITH additional storage.

(Note that these are approximate amounts)

Ok I was going to get a Davies locker but what is up with the warning about not being able to transfer it to another character? Will this be assigned to only the claiming character and not any of the other characters on that account?
I went ahead and got it. Noticed a slight problem though. There is a colum in the window that is labeled "Coords" If the map is decoded it shows the Coordinates in this colum. Just one problem they are reversed from what the map actually is. For example I decoded a map and the coordinates for the map are 126South 1East. Now the locker shows these as being 126N 1W.

While this is a nice feature I guess it is not working correctly. I can probably take mining off my character now. Will have to try that later.

I took a Davies locker with one account and gave it to another to place it. It works all fine as long the account age is fine to use it.

 

[The Mule]

My decoded maps dont show coords. It just says unknown. The sos do have them.

And if you have 3m of maps... You're not a treasure hunter. You're a horder.

 

[DarkWolf]

The coords issue will be fixed in publish 80.
Only 5 more months until I can get one! Should have known better than to have used all of my picks from before....

 

[Poo]

you can give them to anyone who is of the age to use them.

and you can set the access to whatever level you want.
i had mine set to anyone and my guild mate came in and was using mine with no problems.
putting maps in, taking some out.
needless to say i got a bunch more level 3's from him... but strangely enough im missing a bunch of level 6's......

 

[Gem]

Hey UO team...thanks for this beautiful and highly useful item

I know this is an old thread but I have one question. The listed Co-ords for a map only list the Longitude and Latitude no secs of either. How close does this let you get to the X?

500 maps in a locker=1 storage count!

 

[Keith of Sonoma]

I did it several time, and it "holds" the maps!

What about 3,658 maps?

I haven't done one yet, but if you walk and look at the coords in your player map it appears to be like an 12x12 step grid for the range of minutes. So I would imagine it would be pretty easy if you had some mining.

 

[Duncan McDermott]

At least the locker gets you in the area and that makes it easier as I found out tonight

 

[Whitewolf of *VK*]

ok account age does not matter with a davies locker, your account just has to be 7 years old to claim it, i claimed mine on my 7 year old account and my 1 year old account places and uses it all the time, to see the cords of the maps the toon looking at it must have some lvl of cartoaphy.
