Brand new, what do I do...Completely lost

[gowron972]

Ok. Brand new.

Came back to uo. First time since 1997. Tired of all other MMOS because i wanted to play something skill based rather than gear based that has a viable Risk Vs. Reward. No other MMO ever fit that description better than T2A UO.

As I've said, I've been out of the game a long time.

So I want to make a melee character, a macer. I have vague memories of playing one in 1997

So I start my new character, 50 maces, 50 healing.

SO here I am now, no gold, no gear, a plain mace, no armor. I head out toward the graveyard and can't even kill a single monster

What am I doing wrong.

How do I gear up on a limited budget

How do I get my skills up to where I can actually damage anything.

I want to play and love this game but it's frustrating.

Thanks

go to the stable buy a crook
make a macro
Press record in razor
Dbl click crook
click animal
click ground
pause one second
to put the pause go to special constructs and look for pause wait
ent 1000
this is to get your str to 100
make a macro to snoop someone
this is to get your dex to 100
int doesnt matter right now so dont worry about that
after you get this far
go sheer some sheep with a dagger
turn all that wool into bandages
go farm the graveyard hire an npc heal macro and gm your macing

any questions pm theidocghost in irc

Sheep, shear them with your dagger,
Wool, spin on wheel at Tailor's shop,
Balls of wool, make cloth on loom in same shop,
cut cloth into bandages with shears in same shop,

Check crates in Merchant shop for fishing pole, fish for fish (gain dex), cut into fish steaks, cook & eat. Stay full all the time!

Use the corner of graveyard to kill without getting killed.

The skel with an axe gives an axe, Cut wood (gain Str) make arrow shafts, kill birds dubble click dagger target bird get feathers & raw bird, cook raw bird, Dbl Click feathers with shafts in your pack to make arrows sell arrows theres a start.

Don't take handouts, do pick up & sell stuff around the bank, Don't open or eat things around the bank.

A dexxer right out of the box is near useless, you'll likely want to find an activity (macro snooping) that will raise your dexterity to 100. Same goes for strength, get it up to 100 asap. Try lumberjacking/mining, its good for strength and any boards/ingots you make can easily be sold to another player.

After that, I would spend some gold getting trained by NPC's for tactics, magic resist, magery, and so on to give you a base to work with. Try teaming up with another adventurer to go fight skeletons, orcs, ratmen and eventually trolls and ettins. It would also be a good idea to have the spell 'reactive armor' at your disposal as it will allow you to absorb a lot more damage.

Good luck!

EDIT: Oh, and macro anatomy to GM as it gives you a damage/healing bonus.

What to do?

Join IRC and type "/join #C^V" and "/join #DG". Than ask away, and don't be shy!

[ZombieFever]

Kill the Jhelom Pit Overseer! Sell the armor he drops. Also, free band aids!

You now have a greater understanding of UOSA.
