Returning Player question

[RagnarWolflord]

I played back when there was only Felucca, and recently decided to come back to the game (always liked UO, but friends wanted a change). So I reupped my account and saw when I started a new toon a skill called Focus going up pretty fast. I read the description which said it was the warriors mediation skill and that it raised mana and stamina regen. So is this better than Mediation? Does it work like the old mediation where you cant regen mana while wearing plate armor? There is so many new skills I feel like I am a little overwhelmed atm, and the actual uo site is so not updated....learned the hard way on that decided to visit one of my favorite places of Maginica (very bad things happened to me there now).

Um... wow... no idea where to begin. You've a lot of catching up to do.
Well at least to start, lets suffice it to say that Focus is a worthless skill and you should never get it. If you want mana regen go for Meditation and leather (or mage armor) armor.

Here are a couple great resources to get your started:

uo.stratics.com (UOStratics)
www.uoguide.com (UOGuide)
http://uo.stratics.com/hunters/index.shtml (Stratics Hunter's Guide)

Welcome back to the game. Aside from perusing the above-noted websites, my best suggestion is to get plugged in with a guild. A good guild will have you plugged in and up-to-speed in no time.
