Advice on Repairing

[Le Tigre]

I was told if u hide next to an anvil you'll have enough smithy skill to repair your weapons and armor.
is this true or did I just mess up all my stuffs HP?

[Jill Stihl]

Think someone was winding you up.

But it's amusing so I'm going to start telling people it works too

are you seriosu. I just damaged all my stuff. I just barely started playing

I can't say absolutely 100% that it's not true but I've never heard of it in all my UO years and I really don't believe that it'd remain a 'secret' if simply hiding near a forge grants someone smithy skills

What have you broken?

[Le Tigre]

3 power swords and a vanq one I farmed for a week to get

[Jill Stihl]

I seem to have trashed my vanq crate in my last house move but I've rooted out 3 new power broadswords you can have for nowt if you can be in the Britain area in the next half hour or so.

Four magical swords is a very bad priority for starting out. Its too expensive of an investment to lose.

That wasn't very bright of you. Are you posting on the forums for someone like Jill Stihl to feel sorry for you and give you stuff?

A failed repair hardly does any damage to the swords anyway. When in full repair they will still do full damage.

but not 125% like if they were brand new

that was removed

no i believed him. i thought cause its a low pop server that maybe they put it in to help newbies repair their gear. live and learn

Don't wait until your equipment is severaly damaged. With 50 smith and 100 arms lore (I think that arms lore skill is irrilevant) I can repair all my stuff, even magic. Just do it very often. I managed to repair power swords too, but I've never tried with vanq.

Regards.

It is correct, you can repair your own gear, unless it's too damaged then you really need a gm blacksmith.
