One. Don't believe it would be a viable spot if all you are looking for are crests. Not sure how many I killed LOL. Alot
That's exactly what I was thinking. The current setup would be way too easy to script/farm unattended
I remember years ago in Central Ilshenar, by the Exodus Dungeon there are some huts. Years ago around those huts spawned Dull Copper, Gold and Verite Elementals. Those elementals were eventually replaced with Earth Elementals for the same concern as with these new Gold Elementals. If this spawn is considered ok by the devs then I would like to see the Verite Elementals put back in Ilshenar.
Which is good... I have a fully maxed trained fire beetle and it drops both eles with bit of healing.
I might move mining to my warrior with an ele slayer and just use the forges there, though, for quicker kills.
Miners have always looked for easier ways to get ingots. That's why the boat mining wall was so popular.
I LOVED that spot (down in the lower left corner from the dungeon just below the lava area with the fire elems and just above the passway that went to Borgthorn's castle area). Now the easiest way that I've been getting ingots is to have 20+ ore carts and running Fel Cove with a fire beetle and a mine/smelt macro in EC.
I went there last night and the insta spawn is too fast, faster than I can even loot and smelt. I would not mind the spawn slowed down to 45 seconds between each kill. That way those that want the elementals can still use them, but they will be a more manageable speed.
That would be interesting, though I kind of don't want to see wild Valorite Elementals. Those things are nasty.
I hit 40k in 2 hours last night. Sampire Build, drop anatomy for mining, 100% fire, slayer double axe for double strike. 1-2 hits dead. be standing near forge and you can smelt right from corpse. I can hold 3400 ingots before sending via bag of sending. (BTW armor ignore is useless against them since you get about the same amount of damage from a normal hit because their fire resist is so low.)
1. Gold ingots can be used to obtain copper runic hammers, which when it comes to reforging it is the best to use for weapons with max intensity and no negitives. any small 20e gold bod is 100% of the time a copper runic hammer. I'm on a slower shard and bribing costs next to nothing. (I'll spend maybe 35k to bribe from iron except to gold except.
I would love a room that spawned 2-3 val ele's. Then you would earn those ingots.That would be interesting, though I kind of don't want to see wild Valorite Elementals. Those things are nasty.
I have 11 Legendary smiths/Tailors. I run them once per day athering 3 BODs each Of those I get tons of 20 cnt smalls in normal iron, DC, shadow, copper or bronze smalls. I can bribe them up to 20n gold small easily and cheaply. The reward is a POF. Prior to this publish I had @100 of those BODs stockpiled with no ingots to fill them. After a few hours farming gold elementals I now have @100 extra PoFs and plenty of ingots to spare. Those low end normal smalls do have considerable value with bribing. So yes the flood of gold ingots into the system will make a difference for crafters. I've always hated how useless mining is now but if they are going to give me an easy button... what the hell.
10-15n gold smalls only give 20% chance for PoF. 20n gold smalls are a 90% chance. 10-15n gold are (for me) best bribed to agapite, then use agapite elixers on shadow ingots, which are the easiest ore to mine in RNG land. On gold LBOD rewards, Exceptional gold and higher large plate rewards have been reworked to give a chace at a high end runic over the +60 ASH. I haven't tested this yet but I intend to now that the gold ingot faucet has been opened wide. I can sell 120 smith scrolls pretty fast on my shard for @450-500k per. Not a lot of you are a rares collector. But a nice chunk of gold for most anyone else.
No.
Yes, But somehow a good percentage of players have turned UO into its greatest expansion yet "How to beat the scripter". It isn't that you should have "fun" trying to compete with scripting or being a scripting cop. It should be that you are annoyed that so many systems in this game are designed to be exploited by scripting... and were never fun to begin with.
I rest my case.
Actually that is illegal. I think they call it stealing or bank robbery or something like that. Only an idiot would exploit this vulnerability (please mind the cameras). The non-idiot would immediately report the problem to the bank... because he knows in the end he will be the one who ends up paying for the theft. But at least he will avoid the legal system. Or maybe the idiot was just desynthesized to real world consequences because he used illegal third party programs to win an un-winnable video game.
Now why would I waste time making UO easier with a script when I still find an hour of playing Freecell just as enjoyable as UO. I am defending the gold eli spawn site as a good thing. The only thing I like about scripters is they prey off the weak. When they have depleted the herd and they die out, UO will be enjoyable. The fact the book dropper is still making his route means the weak and lazy more money then sense and EA don't care.
Thanks for the suggestion to swap mining onto a sampire. I tried it and got 5800 gold in half an hour. But it's not as easy as it sounds. I found it very frustrating trying to click on the forge with all the bodies piling up on it. I kept clicking around on the forge trying to find an empty spot. My hands hurt after just a half hour of this. I didn't get as many ingots with my miner and fire beetle (me in a doorway and the beetle behind me), but it was a lot easier clicking on the beetle than trying to get the forge to work. Anybody else finding the forge itself a pain? Is this possibly a deliberate pain in the, er, hands, to avoid the scripting some were afraid of? Or is there an easier way to click on it?
j/k
down there, copper ones would be a hoot.
