With low resists and a silver weapon, you could kill liches pretty easily, as long as you don't try fighting more than say 2 at the most at a time. They drop ~250 gold and occasional magic items.

Awesome list. If my browser woudn't crap-out (nothing but black) when I try to raise ppl's rep, I would do it.

Thanks to any vets sharing the knowledge !

Do dread spiders have a natural spawn location or only from T-Chest? I remember them in Covetous but that might be after they reworked the spawn in UO:R.

Thanks

Only t-maps

Started playing UOSA last week, been playing OSI off and on since 98. I forgot how selective the areas are to farm back in T2A(About 15 areas to choose from). Loving the server so far.

Try holding the CTRL key and clicking the rep button. That has worked for me (opens the rep stuff in a new tab - I'm using IE).

Here's my two cents in ur search for wealth
1. Liches are ur best friend with a silver wep of course. Tip is to have hiding, if u hide than attack it while hidden, u will get at least two mele strikes before the thing even knows what's goin on (if ur gm wep skill should only need three shots to down it). 250 gold and magic items
2. Once u have acquired enough cash to gm a mage- balron, ancient wyrm, or anything is ur target. Drop an energy vortex down, once attacking it will DP the mob (if it can be) and slowly die. Two drawbacks are that any moron can make u flagged by getting attacked by the EV, and as stated those are the highest paying mobs and are watched by pks( or trackers). Use hiding to help this. Also don't stay in one loc to long. Hit wyrm, go to bal, go to bloods ect.

Many might get mad for the info..... Don't hate on me folks nuff cash to go around.
