Thinking of Returning

For the past few months, I have been thinking about returning to UO fresh. Its been about 5 years since I played last and Im sure much has changed. I sold off a lot of my items when I left but the 3 characters I liked to play were my Thief, T-Hunter and Stone Crafter for Stone Crafted Houses and just had a few questions.

1: Are stealables in the same places? Any new stealables?
2: Does Khaldun still drop stealable Titan Statues in lockboxes?
3: Anything new inside Treasure Chests?
4: Are Stone Crafted Houses still a good way to earn some coin?
5: How are IDOCs done now?

treasure hunting... currently with Shadows Awakening, you can get antiquities in the chest. (also in the shadow satchel that comes from the manifestation of evil)

I don't know if they turned off the chests in Khaldun. I never do that, so i don't know when it will be. (It has been returning every year in October) the cemeteries and fields are still on until the end of the month... so there might be a chance that its still active. Trick or treat is still active (which has some good rewards since you were last on)

About stone walls and pavers... It would depend on the shard. I tried selling some on Sonoma but they were on my vendor for a long time.

I read about the events and those are always fun. Been searching for my soulstones but seems they may have vanished so I would have to build chars again. Thats not a problem just doesnt leave much time for the events.

I didnt really sell individual stone items. I actually built houses only using stone items and sold them or built extra floors on non-customizable Keeps and Castles. They were popular when I quit so wasnt sure if those type of services are needed now.

castle and keeps are still selling on Atlantic with customizations like you are speaking of. You could always post on discord in the group pages there or here for your services.

soulstones are deleted at idocs now and the ones that are on Atlantic were deleted. If you ever played on Sonoma, there is a soulstone house in Zento (Makoto-Jima on the moongate). I heard some other shards might have houses with stones to, but don't know where they are.

Khaldun is live now and the relics still spawn. I believe they turn it off again at the end of the year.

I returned earlier this year and started over with a brand-new account. If you loved UO before, it's amazingly easy to love it again (just my opinion). :smile2:
