I've a feeling uo deliberately done something to prevent users from making macros to throw multiple explosion potions (was abused in pvp for a while)

Yeah, how dare people abuse a game mechanic, because that never happens. Personally I think players should be able to simply hold explotion potions in their hands and do damage to everyone around them, without taking damage themselves, you know...like the EQ spell !!

When you use an explosion it creates a new item with a new ItemID (the explosion with a lit fuse). With simple UO hotkeys, fast hands, and good timing you can still throw 2-3 potions manually. However, this is impractical. Also, explosions are no longer seekers. They merely land in the spot where the person was when you targeted them (so no more "moving shot" explosions).

Your best bet is to just use a basic "use item" with a separate "last target" hotkey and spam away.

You cant throw potions anymore, they changed the way the potion lands / blows up in mid air so that it doesn't land at a moving players location, this was changed probably 5 ish years ago due to pvp abuse, it would only work if the target isnt moving

I had the crazy idea of lobbing explosion potion with my thrower. So basically chucking one pot at a time is the best way?

Yea, you used to be able to "machine gun" potions. They have since fixed that mechanic lol

I think these need a boost now. You should be able to play a PvP Alchy and they should be feared, you should need high dex, and GM or 120 tactics, even require wrestling and anatomy. A potion pouch similar to the quiver of infinity would also be sweet.

actually alchemy has it's use in pvp (increases potion effect) and was used a lot when you were still able to throw double conflags. It still makes sense on some templates.

Finally, got a UO Assist Macro for potion throwing. It will throw three Potions, but you have to manually target. Easiest way is to pull up the health bar.

Use item
Delay 1000
Use item
Delay 1000
Use item

If you run out of pots you manually have to reset item.

The Enhanced Client you can make an Auto Target potion throwing macro. Once you have your target set by single clicking. Hit your hot key.

Drop the potion in the first slot
Wait for Target
Cursor Current Target
Check Mark Enable Repeating
set the slider to 3

You can Semi-Auto with UO Assist or go Auto with the EC. I hope someone else finds this helpful.

This is a great idea if they actually did anything in this game that benefits the fel crowd.
