So I just re-signed up with UO after a couple of years off. What a nightmare that was with the new billing system, and what happened to "myUO"?!
Anyway, I have a character that was a warrior before. I keep reading about this "sampire" template so thought I would give this a try as I have most of the skills already.
My current template is:
Str: 103, Dex: 102, Intel: 30
Swords: 105.5 (used 105 PS)
Parrying: 100
Tatics: 100
Anatomy: 100
Healing: 84.2
Chivalry: 70.5
Magery: 34.1
Bushido: 52.6
Necromancy: 40
Focus: 100 - In soulstone
I also have another soulstone I was thinking about dumping healing in. Is healing needed for sampire?
The sampire template I was going to work towards would be something like this:
120 Swordsmanship
120 Bushido
120 Parry
100 Tactics
100 Necromancy
100 Anatomy
60 Chivalry
Is that the right kind of setup? What about STR, DEX and INTEL? Also is "Resisting Spells" needed as many of the new monsters I have encountered seem to use magic.
As for weapons and armour that seems a hotly debated topic. I have been reading the numerous threads about this and still don't fully understand. Any crafters be able to make me a suit and weapon? I have some cash, but not bucket loads, just something to get me going until my skills are setup.
If anyone could point me in the right direction I would be most grateful. It's great to be back online and everyone seems so helpful in game.
