I have base LMC of 26...naked!!!!

[Ivor_MacGregor]

I just noticed this morning my mystic mage has a base lower mana cost of 26 when bare naked. I am using Pinco's UI for EC and figured it must be a bug. I went ahead and put on some non-lmc items to give me LRC and casted a few spells. The numbers add up correctly. I added a piece of armor with 8lmc and my LMC read 34LMC. I cast again the numbers are correct. I added another piece at 6 LMC giving me a total of 14 LMC from items. I cast again and it adds up correctly.

I don't have another character with the exactly skill set and race. But, all my other characters read correctly at 0 LMC base naked. I am confused. Anyone else having this issue? And suggestions?

Character:
Human Male
120 mystic, focus, meditation, magery, spellweaving, eval int. My account is 13 years old.

Here is a picture to show my base LMC of 26. I first thought it was just a bug with Pinco's. But, the numbers add up after casting spells.

hmm never seen that! maybe copy that characters macros to desktop then delete the one in user data and relog in so it recreates that character and see if its still there! Then copy the macros back

Now why would he try to fix this? LOL I know sampires that would kill for that bug

Storm:

what does the user data have to do with this?

i cast an energy bolt using regs and it takes 15 mana...a flamestrike takes 30 mana. My base lmc is 26 naked. It isn't a bug in the UI. It must be something to do with joat or another bug in game.

Well obviously I love it. But, if it is a bug then it will certainly be fixed. I want to know if it IS in fact a bug or some new change that was implemented based on skills/race, etc etc.

I can't finish reforging my new suit unless I know.

I think its a bug. My human mystic mage has zero LMC naked.

Have you already tried to let him die and resurrect him?

 

[Ivor_MacGregor]

yes, still 26lmc

 

[Cetric]

WANT!

I have char with 400 luck naked. Even his ghost have 400 luck.

You must have a fez on. Fezzes are cool.

Truthfully, I'd just build your suit assuming you have lmc 0 and take it as a bonus until it gets fixed, rather than building your suit assuming you will always have it.

Just be absolutely sure that if some GM tries to fix it that he does it when you're naked so it doesn't make you go negative lmc.

I know someone with the same,

I also know 2 people with 70 all resists while naked.

It's in the bug list since June so we can expect a fix sometime soon.

Discussed a while back. It is a rare bug. I have yet to make a suit to take full advantage of the situation though. I hope they don't fix it. Not because of anyone having an unfair advantage, but because it sort of adds to the color of UO to have these rare flukes in the game. I still suck at PvP regardless of the extra 23 LMC that I don't even use...

Look at the pictures. Someone didn't believe it, but the repeat pics are undeniably true.

So thats where items in shame go when they disappear! They get baked into random characters!

I had a character that couldn't lockdown/secure/release items in a house for months. I'd get the cursor but if I clicked something nothing would happen. But suddenly it started working again.

I had to call a GM last year as when i was naked all my resists were -26. I could not figure out why my suits would never get near all 70's then i noticed i was starting from -26 in all resists

It happens to me all the time. Call a gm, they'll reset the modifier.

I have char with 400 luck naked. Even his ghost have 400 luck.

My sampire has 800 luck... dieing, altars, stoning skills, etc., have had no affect. the downside is that my stats are stuck and I can't change STR/DEX/INT.

My basic suspicion is that at some point the server incorrectly records that some equipment has been added or removed from a character, and messes up the 'core' character data - do you have a particular combination of equipment that would total the 26 LMC, and do you use auto-equip macros in the EC or using UOAssist?

My thoughts are something is happening so quickly on a character that the data about what is is at 'core' and the modifiers for what is worn or a result of spells is getting scrambled slightly....

Yeah, just another one of those epic pvp bugs that has been around for ages in the bug list that hasn't been fixed. Although i have to say, even though i started the original thread, this is one of the least important pvp bugs that has to be fixed. Sad state of the game to be honest.

 

[Ivor_MacGregor]

thanks for all your replies. It makes sense being a bug.
