UO Second Age

A friend of mine have been trapping crates in a house where he's co-owner, the crates have been on the floor during the process in order to prevent him getting kill counts. But all of a sudden he turned red. He has been tricked I dare say!! Or have I.... erhm, he, missed something? When searching the forums I found the current method should work.

Needs to be house owner if I'm not mistaken.

In a few threads I read people said you need to be in a house where you're at least a friend. Do you recall where you got your info from?


Edit: Checked the Wiki, it also says you need to be at least friended to the house.

My tinker is only friended to my house and he doesn't get counts.

What!? So maybe it only works if you're a friend?

Would be nice if an admin could answer so we get a definite answer to this mystery of mysteries.

more info could be needed. the crates were on the floor or inside a bag on the floor? try testing them on your other characters to be sure.

Gotta be on the floor, of a house you are friended to.

That's how I do it

cowards! c'mon guys wanna handle trapped boxes take the counts its part of the fun

Of course! Thy deeds are truly great Mr Downs! But I was thinking of gaining some lumberjacking around my House of Trickery to create more boxes to trap. But it's a high risk to get hunted down by guardians of justice while peacefully chopping logs. And then I would loose tinkering skill.

But I can work around this with an alt chopping logs so no real problem there.

Would be nice to know exactly how to do it though, even though I'll probably continue taking counts to perhaps one day compete with thee Mr Downs!

P.S. I've not have the crate in a bag or anything, just simply on the floor. All resources have been in my pack though.

And stand in the middle of secure castles while perfectly safe?

No, real tinkers go out into the wilderness and wager everything for the sweet kill!

That's exactly what a real tinker would do! Real tinkers belong in their workshops, bravely and valiantly, not out in the field.
