The +Resists from the various ore types only apply to the Swampy itself, making the Swampy tougher. Here's a Swampy with Exceptional Dull Copper Barding applied. 90% Physical Resist.If you have a higher resist, you take less of that type of damage,
But, soes the absorbstion work for the swampy, or only its rider? I havent tested that.
Would be awesome if chargers offered some protection, even less than paroxy or armored swampy..Somewhat related question here...
When I left for my hiatus seems like the Devs were talking about how Charger of the Fallen is supposed to work like the Swampie but was not actually doing it in the calculations. Was that ever corrected? (kind of doubt it as everyone is still on Swampies, but wanted to check)
No the devs are not going to sell a pet in the store that gives any advantage. Never heard that rumor.Somewhat related question here...

Hmm... was no rumor, it was a listed feature when it was initially sold. It said 'an armor covered horse that is in line with Swamp Dragon barding'...No the devs are not going to sell a pet in the store that gives any advantage. Never heard that rumor.
Hmm that would be neat. I would have got the preorder anyway. I remember going to the game store and buying two to make an account for my son. It is an armor covered horse tho. The armor is just impotent.Hmm... was no rumor, it was a listed feature when it was initially sold. It said 'an armor covered horse that is in line with Swamp Dragon barding'...
*edit*
Which is why everybody and their brother ran out and snagged them. Was months later when they said it was not working correctly and stuck it on the never ending bug pile. I will dig through meet and greets etc tomorrow and see if I can find them addressing it.
Yeah, pretty sure you could get it as part of the ML pre-order deal (from memory) but I think it was also a stand alone as well even in the beginning.Hmm that would be neat.

I tried to do some research but UO.com and UO Guide are down. My 8th age box has a picture of an armored horse on the spine. Internet says it came out with ML. I thought it was a preorder gift, cant verify that. Maybe we all got one with ML after upgrading.
Sadly..uoguide.com the de-facto guide and massive source of info, is dead. We all hope temporarily, but we don't know. If permanent indeed a sad situation, for old and new players..well apparantly the numbers arnt correct. For the shadow exceptional barding deed exemple, I'm getting +45/+30/+15/+20/+50 added to my swamp resistances and not the 40/25/15/20/40 from uo com or uoguide.com
