UO Second Age

Would a blacksmith or a tamer be a better start?

starting from scratch, a bard is your best bet.

out of your2 choices, id do mining to fund training your tamer.

there is a big demand for ingots and not a lot of people selling them it seems

What sort of other resources are people in high demand of? Regs being one I know for sure but that would come later.

Bunchies apparently.

You are allowed to have 3 clients. I realized Downs suggested ingots which is a good recommendation. I know Yomega is buying iron ore for 16gp a pop. However, I had my success starting here by creating a lumberjacker/fletcher and macro making bows on one client. Macroing music and provoke on the other. Finally, on the last available client you should macro up a tank mage or dexxer.

Welcome to UOSA

If I were going to make a bard could someone recommend a build?

This is the how.
This is the template (with GM resist).

If you have no desire to play a bard you should make a dex bard as it's cheaper and faster. Don't spend too much money on your first char built to make money. You're just working against yourself.

All good answers. There are many ways to start to be honest. My first character was a swords dexxer. Easy to make and you can actually play on day one. For someone like myself who hadn't played UO in a long time it was an easy way to re-familiarize myself with the map and monsters as I ran around overland. Run around to cotton fields and pens and shear any sheep you see out in the woods. Run around a dense forest like Ocllo or Windmere and you won't hardly see anyone so little danger. Sure the money's not as good as a bard but you will make some money to fund that first small and/or regs for your mage on another character. Just another option...

You guys are awesome... TY so much

Just wanted to thank you all personally,I have decided to hold off on the smith for a bard, and am currently in the process of macroing him
