I never saw my health drop below 80%, but he kept attacking the two of us even after it became clear it was a two on one fight.

Probably because I was the one eating all those energy bolts. There was one point in that fight when I was praying for my bandages to go through.

As for the Mage discussion, I'll just say that I'm with Covenant in my belief that mages, even pure mages, have a significantly easier time than non-mages outside of training. I'm not sure which era you're most familiar with, but it's not a coincidence that the population of active PvPers strongly favors a magery focused template.

Quite a long day today. Hunting down murderers. Being hunted down by murderers. Jumping through runes looted off a corpse thief. Being eaten by dragons. Slaying Titans. Being hunted down by murderers (but getting away)... Was fun LB/Covenant.

Just got back on myself. PK'd before I could really do anything, but I'm not nevertheless. Name is Helen Lancer in-game, still in the irc.darkmyst.org #bay12uo chat.

I'm going to be on for a while if anybody wants to team up. I'll also be hanging out in IRC at Darkmyst #bay12uo (might not respond immediately).

Think I missed you. I'll be available in game in probably an hour or so. I'll leave IRC open with the same caveat: might not see a message immediately.

You didn't miss me, but you seem to be in the wrong room.

This is the stupidest death.

And yet it has me laughing. I never knew Elodie could force herself to eat the chocolate (I always choose to put away the obvious poison).

There goes my original bet that Axependable would kill herself trying to win a naval battle.

That feel when it seems like you've been tossing and turning the night away...only to discover that less than two hours have passed and you still don't feel able to sleep :(

I hate that feel! /sympathies

2x Resist magic!

I emphatically support this choice by Taricus.

Gazers for the most part, dropping 40-70 gold each and dying relatively quickly. Primarily I wanted to raise Resist Magic on them but it did help me eventually purchase a house. Now I just sorta kill things here and there while I develop my crafter and so income has dropped considerably.

From my experience you still get skill scrolls for ones that haven't exceeded the threshold. That or it's a coincidence that only Parry was dropping for me from Mongbats and such, or Resist Magic scrolls when I picked that up.

I'm gonna see if I can force it by locking all my skills except Blacksmithing then. Will post my results.

EDIT: Killed 8 creatures that normally drop scrolls with all non-crafting non-gathering skills off. Mining in mid 30s, Blacksmithing low 50s, Magery low 50s. No results. Turned Magery back on and killed a bear. Instantly got a scroll. It could just be a really bad case of luck but I think you've gotta do crafting the old-fashion way.

I'm interested. When's good for you? I'm on now.

Also, is it just me or does it seem like crafting is difficult here? Half an hour mining worth of ore gave me only .2 blacksmithing skillgain during power hour yesterday. If that's typical, I wonder if it might be easier to farm skill scrolls for crafting gains.

I plan to hop on again after a quick break.

And yeah, crafting is ridiculous. I think I went through 1000 leather to only gain .. maybe 1 point? Thought about doing the scroll method myself but so far haven't found any craftskill scrolls.

Okay.

This? This was great. Axie finally gets to do something she's good at.

My vote is to NOT pardon the criminals.

Took a night of farming the Covetous gazers but I finally managed to scrounge up enough for a small house a small ways outside the dungeon. Only got PK'd once (by mages, I HATE mages), though it was a pretty large haul they got away with. Probably not an ideal place for a home like the ones around the moongates but it's in an area I like (between Vesper and Minoc) and the closest I've ever gotten to my ideal spot in UO.

I'm rather surprised by how tame my experience has been so far. Before I remember dungeons getting PK trains several times a day, but so far I've only seen two murderers. That might just be due to everyone focusing on building their characters and assets though. Pretty lucky since dungeon skill gains have made reaching mid 90s in my combat skills relatively easy.

In-game name is Helen Lancer, if anyone wants to adventure or something.

While we're Willful we should try to raise Wield Magic and Resist Magic.
