New Players Guide
There are 2 primary websites that have a lot of information about Ultima Online.
http://uo.stratics.com and http://www.uoguide.com
First tip. Don’t try to get the best stuff right off. Normal magic gear isn’t as good a levelable gear, but it will get you started and help to earn the money, badges and skill to get the levelable gear you want. Ask ingame some players have some free stuff for new players to get them started like LRC gear or something to train melee skills. With a weapon and shield equipped you can train melee skills at trainings centre, if u meet another new player there go to the new player dungeon there to beat the boss inside together. This New Player Dungeon you can only enter if your skills are below 1000 points with rats and giant rats inside. I heard a nice beginner weapon should drop there. Or i recommend to go to the rat killing zone, portals to there are in lost city gate room, and take questbooks with you that will also give you some small starting capital.
Inside the Lost City Bank you can find few Coins for free take them, they spawn at least every hour i belive. I have heard rumors that in lost city center a bdage of slaying spawns ever 1-2 days, if i find it take it and sell it to players they pay between 5-10k for each supply and demand. Look or ask arround if any vet player has set up a private vendor where you can buy gold for some items which you can get from killing easy monsters like i have seen some gold for leather, fertile dirt, zoogi fungus and such stuff.
I have noticed many players asking for gear or gold. If you don’t get lucky and there is someone to give you free stuff, the champ teleporters in LC are a good bet. In the loot bags that are dropped by people doing the champ is free stuff. It may not be the best equipment in the game, but you might be able to put together a LRC suit or maybe something to go hunting in. The only thing they normally take from those bags is gold and badges so there are normally regs, arrows, pieces of gear, scrolls and a number of useful items to a new player.
[gr for area loot or [cl for single corpse are your friends. Set a button for it. Use it often. To use [gr successfully you will need 3 types of bags. A gold bag, badges of slaying bag and several loot bags (only 2 GP each), both can be bought from the yellow auto loot bag vendor stone on top of Lost City bank.
If you have too many items or you are over weight, place a bag on the ground ( in a safe location ) and set that as your hotbag. If you sort into a bag on the ground the items will come out of your overweight backpack and be sorted. Then simply drop the bags of stuff you don’t want and pick up the one that you sorted into.
Haveing trouble getting back to your corpse? 2 skills are very helpful in that regard. Hiding and stealth. With those two skills you can walk back to your body, dbl click it to loot, and walk out without any monsters seeing you. If you walk through a monster in Fel you will pop out, so be careful. To overcome that little problem, a high necromancy and wraith form can solve it. Wraith form allows you to pass through monsters without being revealed or losing stamina. Hold CTLR+Shift together to find items or corpse easier.
If you don’t have razor or easyuo get them. Razor is pretty easy to learn how to use, to use it well takes practice. Easyuo is a little complicated for someone who has never seen a scripting language before, but there are a number of tutorials on their website and youtube i believe. Once you get the basics you can download full scripts from their website (no you don’t have to write them yourself, though if you can you will be that much more powerful in game. With the basics on how the language works you can tweak and fix small bugs in the scripts to adjust for this server.
UOAM is in the lost city client download. Open your lost city folder and check for uoam.exe, doubleclick to start auto map. Use it – it is a giant map of the entire game world with a little “You are here” dot. If you use it, and become comfortable with it, you will greatly decrease your chances of getting lost. If you don’t plan to get lost a lot.
