"A Small Piece of Blackrock"

[Kragspire]

I keep finding these on my miner/smith. Is there currently any use for them in game or should I just trash them? Thank for any help.

 

[Capt. Lucky]

Clean up points. If you just throw them on the ground they stay there forever lol. I'm sure they must be good for something but I've never used them.

 

[Capt. Lucky]

One of the more annoying things in the game.

 

[DJAd]

They are an ingredient to make exodus keys.

Or you could make a nice supply of Blackrock Stew.

 

[Smoot]

also you can explode them using the armageddon spell
Armageddon - UOGuide, the Ultima Online Encyclopedia

and its good to keep one insured in your pack for when you encounter dark wisps.

I still keep a small piece in my back pack just in case they accidentally turn on blackrock monster infection again

I was on break from UO during that. What was "blackrock infection" ? *wanders off to google now*

First stage it itches, 2nd stage it stings, 3rd stage it turns black and then it falls off.

Blackrock - UOGuide, the Ultima Online Encyclopedia look at the part where it says "(Second) Infection Strain" It used to be fun to infect a high end monster

I miss those days of "accidentally" blackrock infecting things... that was the best. To have a raven or cow suddenly come at you like you were target one! Or my favorite... to go down and be hunting Ancient Wyrms and run around looking for it and then.... "Oh ****!" "What Malag?" "Um... Sorry! but RUN!!!!!"
And a whole party of 4 instantly dead... LOL.... was such fun... but we managed to kill it and I treasure that chest... (Yes if the infected mob had a chance to spawn a T-Map you had a chance to get a blackrock infected chest named for the mob... you might occasionally see the small black chests on vendors or at an IDOC)

Blackrock infection was pretty fun, I think you should be able to somehow do that again, but there should also be a way to cure your infection so it doesn't happen (but it should work on ANY attack-able mob in UO, (Bosses, paragons,/equivalents, etc) almost endless possibilities.

Spawn a different type of infected box or have their own set of unique loot whatever it may be...besides, the challenge would be there again.

I take it you never ran into a buggy Blackrock infected Melisande it was....interesting?

Nope, I take it that was an Event mob though right?

I'd like to run into a Paragon dreadhorn & all of that too. it would bring some challenge to it, instead of it being the same thing over and over again.

Nope not an event mob, maybe I should clarify though, sometimes we were getting the adds from Melisande show up infected.. the Satyr etc..

ok yea I've seen the Satyrs at lady mel show up as blackrock infected, but not lady mel herself.. I think it should be possible to spawn just about anything as "Blackrock infected", "Paragon" or "Blackrock infected - Paragon".

I'm not sure if Black Rock Elementals are supposed to exist anymore. A few weeks ago I found one on Legends in Trammel near the Ophidian lair in lost lands. I had to do the quest for Blackrock Stew. Since no body on Legends sales the stew anymore.

I thought the Armageddon spell didn't work anymore. One of my characters misses the voices in his head.

Blackrock infection is one of those things that should have been left on indefinite, you know, to keep the game spicy. But our current devs know more than we do, what WE need to keep it spicy, so it's off along with lots of other things players enjoyed. Move along, nothing to see here.

 

[Smoot]

the spell now works for just exploding the blackrock, not to do the massive damage to invasion mobs that it originally did. The actual spell (damage dealing) was able to be used by players recently at a great lakes EM event.

 

[Basara]

I occasionally make blackrock stew on Lake Austin, and put it on my vendor in the UMP player town. If anyone there needs more, just let me know and I'll crank out some more.

 

[Finley Grant]

If you are on Atlantic is buy then. Make bags of 50 and icq me

it was my suggestion to rotate each month of the year an old event such as
blackrock
generals
Halloween 3 crystals
turkeys
monsters destroying to rubble some area (light and dark demons)
