I got my thunter set up finally and headed out to try some nice level 2 maps. I dug up 3 of them and this is how all 3 basically went.
On the initial dig, I died all 3 times from the guardians that spawn. I was way off on my timing to hide to avoid being targeted. I know hiding use to work great since I use to solo lvl 5s back in the day. Just hoping it was my timing and not something they "fixed".
Being very much out of practice, I died at least 4 more times on the first map trying to clear the guardians from around the chest so I can loot it. The 2nd and 3rd times went much better. With more practice and getting to know my macros and how I have my hotbars set up, I'm sure I'll improve and be able to solo those lvl 5 maps I have. Then it's off to upgrade to SA and even better maps.
One thing that did work, all my maps matched my library exactly, even the ones that were tattered, so I'm guessing since they are pre-SA all of them I have should match my old library. I dug up one that was already decoded and decoded 2 just to see if they were random or not. So I'm guessing before I upgrade to SA AND before 30 days have gone by I need to dig up all these maps. I can only assume that since my acct is now active, the 30 day reset on my maps will kick in.
Being only lvl 2 chests, the items aren't the greatest. I really have no idea what I'm looking for in todays UO, but back pre-2007 the majority of what I got is trash. The few items I did get:
Bracelet
Animal Taming +14
DCI 6%
Bracelet
Throwing +11
LMC 5%
Bracelet
Int +5
Luck 50
FCR 2
FC 1
LMC 4%
A few pieces of mid level medable LRC items
SoA: Blacksmith 15 min
Overall I guess not bad from a few lvl 2 chests and a "newb" thunter![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
