Duped accounts masters will be banned as well. If someone is duping there not useing there master account for it unless they have a brain of a 5 year old. And what are classification on master account. I thought all my accounts where linked to my master turns out they are not linked and they are just attached to the same mystic account.

And most importantly was Yoshi right on the duped teleaport rings lol

He said they were being recharged not Duped... Also why would players not Dupe a book of 120 pet scrolls instead?
Or Feudal grips.

Yes! Look for it in the UO Store beginning with that event!

YAY! I might actually be able to get all the rewards i want in my limited playtime then!

One thing that'd be awesome? If the Pentagram buff also made Lifestealers ignore you. Those damn things are annoying as hell when trying to farm Daemon Claws. Hopefully "Treasures of Demonic Forces" has a Fire Daemon spawn like Treasures of Wildfire did. Only Fire Daemons drop Daemon Claws, and Daemon Claws are required to imbue Demon Slayer (which are in high demand right now). Loot the Fire Daemon corpses folks! On Atlantic, it's 750k per Daemon Claw right now, so imbuing just Demon Slayer would cost 7.5 Mill right now, nuts.

I need someone to teach me how to use mine! lol Back when I GM'd Tailoring and Blacksmith it was like the end all, be all! I remember burning through Barbed Runics trying to find those sweet sweet pieces.

Now you have reforging and enhancing and imbuing and it makes my head hurt but I want to try.....I just need a step by step SIMPLE guide....I have issues :(

You can craft Elven Fletching, buy flutes from an NPC, and do a quest repeatedly to get all the Daemon claws you need.

1 Faery Dust per Elven Fletching, so you'd have to farm that up. Then you also have to buy Flutes and wait for restock timer. On average, it'd take 2 Elven Fletching/20 Bamboo Flutes for 1 Daemon Claw. That's still quite a bit of farming for 10 Daemon Claws to imbue Demon Slayer. It may actually be faster to just kill the Fire Daemons in Ter Mur while dodging the Lifestealers. That is, until the Fire Daemon respawns in an unreachable location...

Doing my happy dance too! I will probably use several a week. Fingers crossed they work as well as they did during the Deceit event.

Ask what you want in the crafting forum here and you’ll get the help you need. Creating your own weapons is really fun. Making a luck suit too. Etc

Yeah I had a friend who did that for me...but he quit years ago and everything I've been reading tells me the weapons he made for me aren't a one-stop deal. I thought I only needed one super slayer for each slayer type.

My current Demon Slayer Weapons:
1632577039568.png 1632577120690.png 1632577150565.png

Then a super cool pirate made me this one

1632577299468.png
Which, from what I have been reading, is better then the other 3. (Thank you Garr, very unexpected!)

SO it's not like I don't have weapons or anything, but me and him mainly chained champ spawns all day and I never had issues with the weapons I have.

Or just go to Atl where they're on vendors in stacks of 1k, and buy them and be done with it.

You make weapons for what that toon needs. See how Drakelord needs HCI. One of my archers needs HCI on weapons also. The earrings wont help us. We would still need 5 more. Those earrings would be perfect if they had 15HCI. Most build in sets of 3 items with 15. Talismans are removed for specific mobs so you can't count on those.

You are short 5 HCI. Use the earrings. Or you are using them and thats why you are short :)

You don't need DI on the weapon unless you are going to change talismans that have DI.

A double axe or bladed staff does not need that much SSI. Just need 20 with 190 stam. SSI Calc

So you can remove DI on the weapons with a Whetstone and put on something else.

You could change the jewelry with SSI for more Str.

If that Bone armor from Hythloth is not Antique. You could build a suit around it.

I can only use it on one of my guys but I could easily start a new suit with it.

Not sure what earrings you are talking about.

So my jewelry isn't necessary? Or I need the HCI/ DCI still but not the SSI and add STR?

Why does this have to be so confusing.

I think it's tough for sampire the paragons make it so you can't life leech

The same. No template can life leech from Paragons. You have no way to heal while fighting. You are expecting a different result by doing the same thing. (a supposed definition of insanity.)

I saw one melee template that could solo a Para Balron. It was not a Sampire. (takes forever but a Tamer can also.)

I Changed 2 of my sampires to Dexxers with healing during the first dungeon. I have that Necro/SS fencer that uses SS for healing. I changed another to A Ninja Tiger Form.

One of my swordsmen uses these skills instead. He can not solo a Para Balron but he can heal while trying.
1632626625268.png

Just change your Necro to Healing and use a weapon with LL on crowds.

Only the Para wisps and Balrons will kill you regularly.

Get 50 healing, Wear a corrupted cloak, Set a macro to use bandages while you watch a movie.

Or you can party with your Bard and have them follow you around running Invigorate. That allows your Dexxer to "solo" the Para Balrons. But they change target to the Bard and kill him instantly and you are back to square 1.

You can practice on the Balrons at Chaos. Those paras have fewer HP but they are basically the same.

Those are nice. They fit somebody's toon.

If you keep everything else you need new ones that can be completely imbued.

You dont need the LRC or the Intel either. LL and ML on weapon.

So you can find or make new jewels.

This ring is on Atl for 5M. The SDI is useless for u.
1632628013170.png

You can imbue:
25 DI
8 Str
15 HCI
15 DCI

And a partial stat.

A sampire kills and heals through damage. Focus on maximizing damage. This means checking out this thread and making sure you're swinging every 1.25 seconds. Fighting a tough paragon? Lure it to regular spawn so you can whirlwind or momentum strike to heal. Every weapon that I've seen posted is something that I would never use. I'm not saying that those weapons are bad, but rather that my weapons are made for the suit that I wear. Yours should be too. My goal is to either have SSI or DI on a weapon but never both. My primary sampire on my home shard requires neither. Other shards, I'm not that fortunate.

Reforge your weapons to 100% elemental damage and imbue what you require. My primary demon slayer is a 100% cold damage double axe with Hit Cold Area, Hit Lower Attack, Hit Mana Leech, Hit Stamina Leech, and Demon Slayer. You can use a whetstone to remove DI or you could craft/buy non-exceptional, which is what I do, and you still have enough points to max everything since a double axe is two handed.

Without seeing your individual suit pieces and knowing the details behind the stats you posted my main thoughts are: get strength to 150, get HCI to 45, then get DCI to 45. I assume you're holding a weapon in your picture but I'm not certain. At 60 SSI you only need 120 stamina to swing at 1.25. You want to keep a buffer for when you lose stam, but not that much. Drop SSI or drop dex. The dex stat itself only matters for bandage healing speed, which you don't require. Stamina is all that matters without healing skill.

My Sampire has GM SS. I use Arcane Thigh Boots and carry 5 Arcane Gems for Vamp Form, Wraith Form and Corpse Skin casts. I simply carry 5 stacks of 20 Pig Iron for casting Curse Weapon. Sometimes if i'm specifically hunting something that i'll be casting Corpse Skin a lot on (such as Chief Paroxy, Great Ape, UEVs or Para Cu Sidhes) then i'll also carry 100 Bat Wings and Grave Dust.

Get 50 healing, Wear a corrupted cloak, Set a macro to use bandages while you watch a movie.
I used two accounts to train Healing fast. One was a 120 Paladin in a 30 MR/55% LMC/100% LRC suit with an EC macro set to cast Noble Sacrifice every couple seconds, the other was my char training Healing with 140+ DEX and 0 Anatomy. When healing damage, the lower the target's current Health %, the better the gains.

Why does this have to be so confusing.
It is not confusing it is challenging, which is fun.

All my dexxers have the same basic skills with different values then I can try other skills with those. All of them have their own suits that try to get the best benefits from what they have. I have crafted pieces, Artifacts, pieces I buy from player vendors,and a few pieces I actually looted myself. I have never liked playing a Sampire.

You just need to get maximum swing speed, 45 HCI, and a DCI you can live with. Then try to get your strength to 150 so you can do max damage. You can use Petals and Potions for more str.

Cheap solution :use refinements "of defense" on 5 pieces of equipment to raise your fire resist to 75. Helps to reduce fire breath damage from paragon hellhound and other stuff. Before I did that seeing 2 paragon dogs or a fire steed was imminent death for me. 40 or 45 DCI difference is not very big.

Easy for me. Just take off Valkyrie armor and put Balron one. I have many toons with it. Cheap and powerful for a low start on a shard

It's confusing to me....all I see is a jumble of letters and numbers...HCI, DCI, SSI, blah blah...

I have been trying off and on for years to figure it out and it just makes my head hurt :(

I didn't get much from Wildfire, I started the event a month late and wasn't on much. If it wasn't for some pretty amazing people on Origin I wouldn't have gotten anything from that event.

This is her gear

Very unusual weapon. Why you put SSI and HCI on weapon, not on suit or jewels ? Some special warrior build ? You even spent a whetstone for that. Explain, please.
