UO Second Age

back in those days when i played UO on OSI the ranger armor used to spawn in closed chests and random mobs, but it was pretty rare.
so i want to know if it is obtainable only trough trophy points or it also spawns here on this shard?

only obtainable thru turn-in system

is it accurate?

I am pretty positive ranger armor was never received from rare spawns. Ranger armor was first rewarded as a gift from the 1998 Christmas year. It was later derived from the new player ticket system. However, I am vaguely remember that it did in fact spawn on certain human NPCs similar to that of the black sandals, but I cannot be certain on this.

Yup, I got my Ranger armor through the X-Mas gift back in 1998.

Ranger armor was never a drop, daily/spawning rare. It was only given out. However, you could get miscolored leather off some NPCs (orange gorget off Bowyers was a common one).. there is a possibility you could get a green leather but it was not called "studded armor, ranger armor" (or whatever the exact name was for ranger armor, can't remember off the top of my head)

I got my ranger from the young system.
Man it was fun offering newbies 1000 gold for their armor that was worth a lot more

i remember getting my ranger gloves from a locked box, deep in the dungeoun. but i dont remember when it happened...

your probably mixing up OSI with a freeshard, I only remember getting it thru christmas tickets.. after I got most peices i bought the rest from vendors.
i know dfi you can get it thru LP..

ranger armour didnt spawn, was gift/prize only
i can only vouche upto end of t2a though
after that who knows prolly spawned on neon rats in brit sewers

I remember the odd colored armor that spawned on certain npc's. The green studded tunics were the most common, well second to the orange gorget. I do remember farming rangers near skara for cool colored robes to cut into cloth and hoping that maybe one day I would get ranger armor.

also 1/1000 npc's spawned black sandals.
Hence how black sandals appeared in the game.
I remember taking many of counts in order to try to get them.

This is exactly what I remember. The orange gorget was the other peice that I remember. Slimeball the NPCs that gave black sandals didn't give murder counts at first. I can't remember exactly when it they implemented murder counts for NPC's, but I'm pretty sure it was later on possibly around or duing the UOR publish.

The NPC's that were giving black sandals we're the Artists in Nujel'm, at least it was on Atlantic. We used a boat with a newbie archer to kill them consistantly, and eventually I traded about 13 pairs for a pair of blessed blacks. Eventually they implemented NPC's into giving murder counts, but at the time it was not that way.

There were different ways of getting different things

I remember killing jewelers for blacks in papua
