I would bet that any stats on the new items will all get nerfed once one group or another starts complaining, they do it every time. We're not allowed to get anything really cool or useful....:(

Anyone notice the (1) Solicitation that was actioned ? So people reported hundreds of times on Avatar advertising his unauthorized/copyright infringing web sight, and One/1/Uno of his trial accounts was suspended...wow.

That was a bug which is already fixed on TC.

Per Kyronix on the UO forums:
Can someone please explain to me then, what is the point to go through the hassle of obtaining a Recipe which, I understand, will be a hard drop, to then craft an item which is EXACTLY the same properties as the item that it uses as an ingredient (which gets destroyed upon crafting the new item...) ?

Only to have it look different but basically carry the same Exacts magical properties as the starting item ?

I fail to see the point of doing that..... can anyone please give me some good reasons for wanting to do that ?

Thanks.

For anyone mentioning "idocguy" is the guy from russia spamming gen chat... not in a million years. Idocguy seems like some annoying low level guy whos scripting idocs and is annoying players through... stealing potted plants?

the guy running avatar has been involved in credit card fraud fiascoes involving game time, etc for nearly 20 years. you'd have to be slightly damaged to intentionally be buying from a store involving cc fraud and russia in the same sentence, but its a wild world

I read that post on the cheerleader boards.

Seemed simple enough, but what my mind interpreted it to say, on first reading, was:

"We have put in an item to use up all existing Mempos while at the same time driving prices up. We will consider re-adding these as drops as soon as our cronies have gotten richer selling the existing ones"

I didnt want to bring it up, but I know a few people who run some of the sites and they will tell you the benefits they receive from doing so including FREE Game Time as long as they are selling items for them.

People have been asking for a way to transmog/customize their clothing appearance for years, so the best way to do that is obviously to set up some kind of limited time rares recipe with a lot of grinding and high failure rate.

Just give us a SANE transmog option/skill or sell transmog tokens in the store already. Add completely new stuff in new content; let us adjust old content independent of it.

Not to mention you can't just craft the item without having the RNG favor you by dropping the item needed after about 5 months of grinding 4 - 6 hours a day in doom.

You are right. Its part of the flawed thinking behind lots of things concocted in UO and made into elaborate tasks to obtain : Meaningless!
Also: How many people you know have these items anyway? The mempo? Or the other items? 2? maybe 5? This caters to the very few who have them, and also it does NOT do anything special or different than the original item.
Would make a CRAP TON of more sense to CREATE a new mempo-like item or Scholar's Halo - like item from OTHER means without having to use a 50-100 M item that 90% of the player base do NOT have. But nope. This would upset the "balance" and make the original old items cheaper.

Also they skipped . over the "Elegant Chest armor of fortune, where you need 1 armor of fortune, and the recipe and the rest of the regs etc..:)

And another fun thing: The 3 Crimson belts? They will be the same, but look different. But why call them dagger/sword/mace without any other function just deco? And you need the original Crimmy to transform it to the new belt?

greed, the new crimson belts do seem as if they could have done better, and let them hold a throwing dagger or two, for example...a la the ninja belt

They are stealing on TC. But there is a long timer between respawn and you just get 1.

As far as we know, you cant buy Dried Herbs. The salt is at the Sea Market. Seasoning needs 3 Herbs to make 1.
