Seriously, I get the reason why you did it, what, 10 years ago or more, but come on . Turn the stupid timer off now and let people work the virtue. It's bad enough you have a daily cap, but wtf good reason do you have for making us wait 3 minutes in between escorts ? Doing this on Siege, I pick an escort, he wants to go to Britain, great away we go.....err..nope, it's a VvV town. This is 2015 and games are very technical now, it shouldn't be hard for VvV code to overide where an npc wants to go. If Britain becomes active, it's no longer a viable city while it's active. So anyway, I can't go , so I abandon the escort, and guess what...yep, gotta wait 3 or 4 minutes for the next one...just plain silly.

You do one escort then 4 Bravehorns! If you kill it then the timer for a new to spawn is less than 1 min. And I think the timer is 5 mins.

This is so freakin borked, at least for me, it's laughable. Tuesday night I worked Compassion, got 5 gains I think is the max and i get the message "you must wait a day before you can gain", no problem. I log in the next night at the same time, you must wait, you must wait, I wait 30 minutes, its now 10:30 I get my 5 gains. I log back in tonight somewhat early, 9:45 local time, expecting to see the you must wait a day message, nope, got a compassion gain first escort. Wait the ridiculous 5 minute timer out, get another one, take him to New Mag...You have gained in Compassion, you must about a day before you can gain in Compassion again !!! wth.....this is terrible coding.

unbelievable. Killing 500 swoops would be easier. Plus you would probably get a nice piece and sell it for millions.
At the time I was very new to UO and did not know a lot. I do a lot better now doing other things now :) But that is how I made my first million gold :)

@Kyronix on a related note, please either remove or severely shorten the timer between planting green thorns. It also is rediculously long.
