UO Second Age

Just sharing my progress after a week of joining this AMAZINGLY fun and 'everything i missed about T2A' shard.

Newb #1: GM Music, 95 Eval, 73 Provo, 50 Magery, 49 Med, 32 Wrestling, 29 Resist so far in about a week.

Newb #2 75 Anatomy, 31.5 Healing, 30.8 Hiding, 28.6 Mace, 29.3 Parry, 29 Resist 24.1 Tactics. Started 7/9/11.

Nice work.

As for newb #2, being that you just started him yesterday you might want to consider starting over with 50 points allocated to healing. There are really only a few skills out there no matter the template that I feel one should give 50 points to on creation, and that is one of them.

Why 50? i figure'd at 30 it would not take very long to get to 50.

Because it takes forever to train and it costs alot of time or money to get the materials.

I had planned to get some gold with the bard before i took Newb #2 seriously anyways, just working up the easy skills on him atm .

You could buy your other skills to 32 easy using an npc trainer. Just good idea to always start your characters with the harder skills the highest. Saves time and money. Sometimes saves you from having to complain about it not going up fast enough whle you are in irc or forums

I would never!! /snicker , I understand... is 30-50 really that bad?

Nope not to bad but it takes alot of resources.

I agree with the previous sentiments. I never make a character that doesn't have two skills at 50, and one at 0, or 1 if I want the starting items.
There's no benefit, imo, to doing 33/33/34 when you can basically buy up to that amount. So what you end up with for 250 gold is 50/50/25, instead of 33/33/34. You basically lose 9 points in 1 skill and gain 17 in 2 others. This is especially true for skills like magery, resist and crafting which will cost you much more than 250 to get from 33 to 50.

Sweet newbs! Once you have the funds I am always stocked up with bandies up the wazoo so feel free to PM and in no time you will be a GM healer or Vet. I have not seen anyone sell for less. Keep up the good work!

Another update because i have nothing better to do , also Newb #2 will be deleted when i can and restarted, which two skills for a dexxer should i put to 50? healing and what else? anatomy?

If you're keeping the same #2 template as stated in the OP, start with Healing & Resist.

I also wanted to ask, should i keep wrestling, or lose it for peacemaking?

Keep wrestling, peace is really a junk skill here, and wrestling is more important than resist on a bard IMHO.

I normally never recomend you start with 50 resist since it's quite easy to get it to 55, but for THAT template, all the other skills are cheap/free, so might as well do 50 healing, 50 resist.

Newb #1: GM Music, Gm Eval, 89.3 Provo, 50 Magery, 49 Med, 32 Wrestling, 29 Resist so far... and yes i know no one really cares im just bored at work so posting on my phone.
