Thats an awesome idea, but I am a hit and run player, due to time contraints. So would have to make sure these 4 ships do not decay. How long do these ships last before they need "refresh"? 1 Week? Also do you use Tokuno ships or large dragon ships? Ty for info.For SoS efficiency I've always used 4 ships, one at each set coords (S&E, N&W, etc). I keep my MiBs grouped in bags the same way with the key to the corresponding ship.
If you find it, can you please let me know and give me a link?To be honest, depending on your client and such, i guess EC its easier to find MIB.. but you could mark runes to various parts of the world to where you can recall to, drop a boat and flat out to do your MIB in general areas. I cant find it but there used to be a system to break up SOS in areas and then you could group them together - it was by coordinates, i just dont have that anymore, so i been saving my MIB since I came back to do!
Very nice. So you find the *.map file and copy and paste the yellowed parts into it? The file is actually named ***.map? Or something else? And I do use UOAM. It would be useful.
Tyvm! Nice timesaver.You can name the file whatever you want, it just has to have the .map extension.
Typically, the easiest way to make an SOS specific file is to take an existing treasure.map file, make a copy of it, rename it to SOS.map, then edit it with Notepad or another text editor (deleting everything after the "3" at the top of the folder, then pasting in the yellow stuff). Make sure that you ALWAYS switch to "all files" when saving, and save it as the .map extension - it won't work if you accidentally make it SOS.map.txt). Then, in UOAM or UOCart, select the SOS file as one for the program to access. Use the remove marker feature in UOAM to remove the marker after you fish it up (and are sure you didn't fish up another SOS located at or near the same location). Eventually, you'll be out of dots (the .map file will just have the "3" at the top) and out of SOS. Get more SOS, enter their data, and repeat.
About 20 months ago (May/June 2019), I did nearly 300 SOS (20 of them Ancient) in about 3 weeks, after sorting the SOS, using the spreadsheet to make the map data, then going out to fish them up.
