I'm Jamirus and I've been a fan of Ultima Online since my teenage years. I've never really played on the original servers, but I did play a few different shards here and there. Unfortunately, I have not played UO in quite a long time.
I've been looking around and found UOLL and I must say, the site is very impressive. Love the statistics posted!
Currently I don't have a working PC at home, but I'm hoping to change that soon so I can get on and play.
I do have a few questions, though.
I used to love crafting, so I have some questions on those.
1. How useful are the crafts? Can you make shard unique items? What are some of the higher demand items?
2. Follow-up. Are skills like Cooking, Inscription, Fletching and Tailoring useful to GM? Anything in particular you can make with these that are interesting / unique or sought after?
3. How about the resource gathering professions? I'm sure you can collect maps with Fishing, but what about Mining and Lumberjack? Are there any unique ores or wood you can get from them? Is there any benefits to getting either of these up to GM?
4. How's the PK scene? As a crafter, I would constantly worry about recalling into a murderer, or having someone camp my house. I've chatted a little so far and everyone I've talked with seems very nice.
5. Do most people utilize all three accounts, or do people usually stick to their mains? I like seeing familiar faces, but the idea of 1 person having up to 15 characters seems a little overwhelming. Also, I don't know if I would enjoy taking advantage of creating multiple characters on multiple accounts. Would I be at a disadvantage if I didn't create a dexxer, bard and crafter right off the bat and simultaneously play them?
6. Is there a newbie dungeon or any other unique areas?
7. Is there a place where I can see prices of items? That way I can calculate what's good to sell and what isn't.
8. Are there any universaly regarded useless skills?
Forgive me for any spelling errors and thank you for taking the time to read and answer any of my questions. Looking forward to playing some Ultima Online again!
Welcome to UOLL Jamirus. I am Isis, a fellow crafter such as yourself. Perhaps I can answer a few of these ?'s. I am sure other people will be along shortly to help you too.
1. I am not to sure about being able to make unique items, however I do know that you can do bods and lbods for unique items. The most popular items seem to be tailor based bod items such as cloth and cbds. As for normal crafted items, anything pvp related (swords and archery) from what I see.
2. Inscription is always a plus for selling full spellbooks (currently about 4k each). Tailoring eh, idk, I gmed tailoring myself but don't really use it much. Most just get it high enough to do bods.
3. Yes you can get mibs from sea serps here, as for mining, there always many different varieties of colored ore. Nothing special about LJing though.
4. The pk scene is pretty relaxed. My first few weeks here farming, I was pked maybe 3-4 times but also ressed and not griefed. Mostly the widely traveled spots for pvm is where they hit.
5. Yes, everyone uses 3 accounts and I find it very helpful.
6. Not sure about that. Maybe someone can answer that ?
7. If you visit the UOLL discord channel maybe players will be willing to help you figure out prices for specific items.
8. Taste id comes to mind, and begging. Also camping, it's just used to build up stats quickly.
