i was finally able to get into game last night and play some of the event.

i picked up one of the Katana's and a couple of the focus crystals.
a guild mate thought there might also be a sash.

does anyone know what all the items are we can get from the event so far to date?

Poo, the katana and crystal come from killing Bane and Guards. The focus sash is loot from killing the Ophids that are o the outtskirts of the invaded town.

I thought it was a town Invasion but i see nothing out of the ordinary in any towns i visit. Does it happen once a day or something and if so what times? Thx.

It comes and goes in waves... most shards are on - or just finished the 3rd wave. Sherry the mouse statues will keep you updated on which town is invaded and when.

holy smokes, that sash must be uber rare cause i slaughtered the brit guards last night, over 300 killed and not a sash in site.

im wondering if maybe the sashes are on the meers on ophys only?
and even then if they are on bigger stuff?
mages?

In my expierence,

I have only got a sash from the meer & oph spawn, I only got the crystals from the bane chosen recruits, & dragon riders & only the katnana from the guards.

I got a sash about every 10-15 oph killed on the outskirts of town.

Hi there,

are there any mods on katanas and/or sash?
What is crystals for?
It is always fun to get at least one each but what is the purpose of getting multiples?

I have not yet fought any banes but maybe its time to do that.

The katana is a Fey slayer with a bunch of mods.
The sash has 5 DCI and MI 1 I think.
And I believe the crystals puts a random mod on a weapon and makes it brittle.

Hopefully someone can post a better and more detailed reply soon...

The katana looks great, but is pretty template specific. Its great for a dexter, if your killing a fey, but has no leeches. Also great for a melee necro as its 90 percent poison damage, 10 percent chaos damage.

The sash and gems are BAD tho. If you use a gem on a weapon, it makes your damage start low, then get higher. However, most melee templates already have the 300 percent damage cap, so the high end is wasted. So really it lessens weapon damage overall.
The Spell focus on the sash does the same thing, but with spells. You start out low and get higher. Kinda just a waste. The only thing it would be good for is for a pvp dump, but you have to cast a good number of weakened spells to get to the increased damage spells.
It does the same thing for hit spell on weapons. The only reason i personally would wear the sash is because i dont have high seas, for the 5 percent dci. If you have high seas corguls is the better choice in my opinion.

I think the Focus Gem's property does damage increase over the 300% cap. I haven't tried it because I don't want to turn any of my weapons brittle, but it's what I've read on here.

Those two threads should answer most questions on the focus properties as well as usage strategies etc.



The weapon one DOES allow you to exceed the 300% damage cap.

Both damage increases apply to both PvP and PvM.
It applies to PvP too? Is it overpowered so everyone can exploit it and more people quit UO? Because it's painfully obvious you guys don't take into consideration PvP aspects of the game anymore...

P.S. Why was the 300% damage cap rule made for again?
