Wand Spell Range Vs. Casting Spell Range

Post by Everlynn »

I have done a lot of testing in regards to the spell range of wands and staffs. Light and flame wands have max range to the point where your target can almost be off screened and the spell will still be sucuessfull. Casting of spells the range is so poor that you almost need to be next to the person to cast the spell successfully. Has anyone experimented with this or checked into its era accuracy because i districtly remember not being able to cast with a wand in the current range parameters.

Spell range is 10 tiles.

Wand range is unknown to me currently but it probably should be the same if it isn't already.

I'm admitedly nervous challenging Faust on pacth notes since I don't have them in front of me, but spell range should be 8 tiles per OSI and it should be set as that here. I expect wands are supposed to be the same. Would like to gather more info and look into this.

Pretty positive this is how it currently works on UOSA too.

10 tiles for both. It took all of 30 seconds to test.

The RunUO default is someone near 12 tiles.

Probably just about anyone could have mistaken that net difference of 2 one way or the other. :wink:
