UO Second Age

Ok when i steal from my pack horse (after i make it attack me then guard) i have 32 stealing skill so i place alot of bangs with three stones on the pack horse.... i dont seem to gain much at all should i just use the steal skill then click the horse or click each bag? also is there a better way to do this or better advice my stealing isnt going up much at all and i figured since it was @ 32 it would go up fairly quick. also about the rune if u have one and could mark me another ill pay 500g....

steal with empty bottles or leather.
these items weigh 1stone each and stack
so your macro will always be challenged.
it will still take a fair while though.

I raised stealing by placing bandages in a container until the weight of the container was approximately equal to my stealing skill divided by 10. At 32 stealing, you should be attempting to steal a container that weighs 3 stones, and should up the weight to 4 stones at >35 stealing skill. This formula quickly raises your skill by ensuring you are always attempting to steal the maximum weight allowed by your skill level. The downside is that you have to increase the weight of the container regularly.. which makes afk macroing a bit more complicated.

Hope this helps.

Ive been using a pack horse (i have 32 skill) i have the horse attack then guard so i can steal from it i put bags with 3 stones each on the horse and try to steal them... Should i be click each bag when i get the target to steal or clicking the horse? also is this method correct because i haven't been getting goos results.... haven't gained much skill in stealing.

rune to deceit

There's a rune library a very short walk to the SW of Yew moongate.

A guarding packhorse should work.. attempt to steal, and if its a success replace the bag on the packhorse..

Another more complicated way to try this is for a 2nd account to be on with ownership of a packhorse, and have the container you are stealing set in their scavenging agent in Razor.. so you steal it, drop it on the ground, the 2nd account picks it up and replaces it on their pack animal..

You really only need one container either way...

Also, containers weigh something. Small bags weigh 2 stones while empty. Look at your character weight with the container in your inventory and not in your inventory to make sure it weighs 3 stones. If the container weight totals more than 3 stones, this would explain why you aren't gaining skill.
