There are dyeable sandals.No, we cannot dye sandals on dyetubs and the slimes worked just like dyetubs.
Hmm.My monitor is not the best, but aren't these BOD reward sandals?
Hmm.
How do you make sandals.......
Or were you talking about something else, some other BOD reward I'm not aware of?
How were they blessed, then? Clothing Bless Deed?

It's not about the sandals per say, it's about whether people are finding a way to exploit. Sandals today, artifacts again tomorrow? I can already see people looking for ways to dupe/exploit new faction items.I agree with dude up there, they're just sandals, get a life.
Im 95% sure you dont have to have text. Thats why I have a problem keeping track of them. Ill check. But my memory sucks.The mystery is NOT solved. These are NOT AoS sandals, even the dyable type because those have to have at least 1 line of AoS text. I do agree that these are possibly from the "old" exploit but weird to see not 1, but 2 pair pop up in a matter of a few minutes. Time will tell I suppose whether or not we got a new exploit.
Trust me, we had to choose at least 1 line of text on all the dang AoS gifts.Im 95% sure you dont have to have text. Thats why I have a problem keeping track of them. Ill check. But my memory sucks.
Wrong again. Wrong type of npc's. Regular npc's gave muted colors, hence blues, browns, greys, reds and pinks..and silver. Most likely I am hoping these 2 pair in my OP came from the old npc player VENDOR exploit and we won't be seeing a ton of them soon.I have a ton of old sandals from ages ago when they would spawn on NPC's. You used to be able to use "Enticement" and get the NPC's to follow you outside the guard zone, and then kill them and take their sandals.
It's possible that the sandals you are seeing here are some of those. We also had quite a few "Item Bless Deeds" back then, and it was very common for people to bless their sandals so they wouldn't have to spend hours trying to find that one color again.
If it is/was an exploit shouldn't someone care?My god, who could possibly care? So someone has some differently coloured shoes - so what?
Find something to worry about that matters in even some tiny way. Jeez.

No. Its a shoe colour. If there was some resist buff or another property then yes (for a given value of 'care').If it is/was an exploit shouldn't someone care?
Thank you.BOD reward sandal colours....

I'm not sure about the original pictures: Can barbed/horned/spined sandals be dyed with Tokuno dyes?
Here's the thing.....There is a kind of a lowering of expectations that goes on in UO. The more and more people get away with smaller things, a vacuum is created wherein bigger things can also thrive. I knew there was a duping problem when I saw just about every PvPer on the LS shard running around with a Shroud of Tal'Keesh.If it is/was an exploit shouldn't someone care?
Well said. They have banned the vendor exploit sandals for years, either stay on the ball and keep banning for em or change the rule. The more rules they let slip, the more people feel free to get away with stuff.Here's the thing.....There is a kind of a lowering of expectations that goes on in UO.

I've seen people on these boards defending a utility that let you see what tiles you could teleport to. I see this as a major advantage in PvP, some of you defended it as harmless. I don't see how it could possibly be called harmless.
I saw people on these boards defending the Vine Chord Sandal dupe.
Those of you who are saying "it's just shoes, who cares," have a point.
But how far would it go?
*shrugs*
I wouldn't even notice sandals for My part...But I can 100% understand the concern. 100%.

QUESTION
How can I tell if an item is not allowed?

Answer
In the long history of Ultima Online, there have been times when certain items were able to enter the game world due to the result of a bug or exploit. In the past we have been hesitant to post a list of such items, for some unscrupulous players might see such a list and decide to attempt to recreate such illegal items. However, in recognition of player concerns with regard to the growing inability to discern the differences between these illegal exploit/bug items and legitimate & acceptable rare items, we now feel that there are certain exploit-based items that can be publicly listed and discussed in an open forum.
The items listed below were created or obtained through the use of an exploit or bug, and are not able to be obtained or acquired through any legitimate means. They are prohibited within Ultima Online, and players who are found to have, use, trade, or sell them may have action taken against their account.
These items are listed because they continue to exist in the world even though they are not re-creatable, but please do not consider these listed items the only ones that are unacceptable within UO. Just because an item may not be on this list does not necessarily mean it is allowed. We reserve the right to change and update this list at any time.
It is critical for all players to understand the following information about this list of exploit-created items:
- Portable forges, looms, spinning wheels, or other obviously not portable add-ons
- Water or grass tiles
- Silver steeds (except for Siege Perilous, and Mugen)
- Tame ancient wyrms
- Neon sandals (not BOD reward or AoS gift sandals)
- Khaldun puzzle box
- Chyloth's Shroud (red death shroud) and/or Staff.
- Portable Mouseholes
- There are exploit-created items within the world that are not on this list, but just because items are not on this list, does not necessarily mean they are allowed.
- We reserve the right to change this list at any time.
- This list will only note items that were created with bugs or exploit that can no longer be created.
- Game Masters will not discuss the legality of an item. The Development team reserves the right to remove any item from the game.
- The purchase, sale, and ownership of these items are at your own risk.
Sandals are not made from cloth, therefore they cannot be dyed with a regular dye tub unless they are the dyeable AOS version.3. Any of the tubs that dye normal cloth can be used on footwear, last I checked. I know it's true for shoes, boots & thigh boots (as well as fur boots, elven boots and the SE footwear), but never checked it for sandals (if I was home, I'd check).
Actually what interferes with my enjoyment is the rampant cheating that goes on while the GMs have their hands tied. I don't care about some stupid sandals, but I do care about blantant scripting. When they have rules in place but do not enforce them, that tells the populace that cheating is easy. And that changes the nature of the community. Little cosmetic things like the changeling dupes and these sandals, if they are new exploits, just add to the avalanche. Hey look, we can make and buy and sell these things! It's like gateway cheating, and at some point some player who never heard of stratics is going to get burned when they blow 500k on a pair of pretty sandals only to have them deleted or turned into something worthless, or even get a mark on their account.You seriously have to much time on your hands.
Some of the rest of you thought police have to much also.
You sound like a bunch of kids in a sandbox.
Why do people with different things than you intefere with your game enjoynent?
If you want to get every cheater or exploiter, or someone who accidently buys from one, out of the game; then soon you would be the only ones left.
The most disappointing thing about UO now is; not all the friends we lost, but that fact that only your type of player remains.
Alright. That's good and well... but sandals still cannot be dyed by a dye tub unless they are the AOS dyeable kind.Sheridan -neither are boots, shoes or thigh boots, and they CAN BE DYED WITH THE CLOTH TUBS.
I know that I SHOULD care if it's an exploit, but honestly I don't. It's stupid that we can't dye sandals in the first place. We can have boots and shoes in whatever color we want, but not sandals. If silly rules like weren't in place, this thread would have no reason to exist.If it is/was an exploit shouldn't someone care?
Would you be willing to log in on one of those characters and show us a screen shot of the menu for choosing AOS sandals?For like the 3rd time, NO we did NOT have the option to have NO text on anything for an AoS gift! We had the choice of 1 line of text, or 2. And the reason I KNOW this is because I still have AoS gift choices left on a few shards I do not play.
