Where is a safe place (if there is such a thing) to fight liches? I dont think I could handle a pk and a lich both ebolting me.

Lich Lord is the best place since it's an insta spawn and the buggy ledge exists. I am surprised that anyone could die in such a possible location unless they are really, really new. The line of sight issue up there allows for a perfect escape almost every single time.

Cool thanks for the info, I'm tired of lumber-jacking and making bows, ok money buy kinda boring.

Hey total darkness- yeah you killed me yesterday in the Ophid fields (Behlen), took like 2 seconds didn't even see you there lol..

I'd have to have someone take me there. Dunno what you are talking about but I have a slight idea. I'm talking about for a melee person though.

Probably would still be the best place. Lure the lich lord into the pit room and you will have an insta lich spawn from that point on. Take a silver weapon and use the ledge to your advantage just like a mage. You can hit the lich down below and back up when you need to heal. The lich can't cast spells on you when you back up which means a guarentee heal for you.

Thats awesome. Where is this pit room?

I'm a bard is there multiple spawns there?

The lich lord room and the pit room are both on the 4th level of Deceit Dungeon. The pit room is the room that you enter when going down the stairs to the 4th level entrance. It's a small pit about the size of 8x8 or smaller right in the dead center of the room. What you can do as a melee character is lure the lich lord down into that pit and make your way back to the lich lord room which is south or south east of the pit room having an endless insta lich spawn instead of both. If you have a silver weapon it will only make the farming 2x faster.

Gmail, bards work fine in the lich lord room too. Since both the lich and lich lord are on an insta or semi-insta spawn you can provoke the two creatures to kill each other. The spawn is static so there will always be one lich and lich lord no matter what unless someone lures another creature into the room of course. The lich lord will kill the liches pretty quickly for an easy average of 250gp per lich. The lich lord will be taken down over time. This will be a little extra gold and other items too.

Provoking in this room for many hours was how I got started on this shard.

This room is typically checked by pk's though. Definitely get used to this and be sure to use the line of sight buggy area as a defensive measure. I have seen many pk's there but never was pk'd due to using the ledge to my advantage. You just have to get used to recalling, dropping loot, and coming right back starting where you left off until the next PK pops in.

Faust thanks for the info, I will give this a try.

I wish Faust would join my guild he's so sexy.

Derrik semi-recently Tweaked karma gains.

I got to level 4 off Evil mage lords with Coup, and then after the change could no longer do so.

You have to kill Deamons / dragons / blood ellys now.

Well, I only started playing about a week ago and got to illustrious in about 4 hours of killing liches

I used to hunt liches all the time during T2A and never got higher than "admirable" from them. On UOSA you gain "a good amount" even after you hit row 3. It matches the fame/karma gains that were updated after UO:R.

I'm admirable now and will try liches later tonight.
