Firstly, love your videos @Keza ! Have watched a few already and subscribed to your channel. You've opened my eyes already to facets of the game I've either forgotten about (started playing in 2000) or was unaware of. Thank you And yes, Kevin Costner didn't look like much, but he Danced With Wolves and somehow pretended he was brave brave Sir Robin! That video is exactlywhat I was talking about. More so, back in the day when my friend used it, there was no pet bonding, so kill the tamer added to the chaos! And when the crap hit the fan, you run, LOS you're enemies, hide, and stealth back to them when they think everything is ok and have stacks of loot on them. From memory, and this memory is sketchy, you couldn't recall whilst 'in battle'?
Thank you very much mates! I read and studied every post.! I think I will go for the lumber. Wich skill do you recomend to put in the beginning? Stats? 100/100/25? Edit: Wow! That video is amazing! Hahahaha like all of keza's videos. 50 damage with bows? Wow mate! Its so awesome!
It really comes down to thinking about what the purpose for this character is for you. As a first character, or new character without finances and equipment, the best advice I can give is to prioritise what you want them to do. There are some really cheap and effective starter characters, that will set up the foundation for the rest of your account(s), such as a peacemaking/provocation dexxer or mage. You get 500 hours of [young] status on each account, which is a really good start to make the most of not being attacked by monsters, players or thieves on sight. Whilst a lumberjack/axe(sword skill) is a decent start, I wouldn't be thinking about PKs and PvP at this stage. You avoid that by having [young status]. Make use of that to set yourself up. I have only played here for just over 2 weeks, and have done that to make 4 characters (and counting) that have almost complete templates. They might change at a later stage, but for now they do what I need to earn gold and continue to set myself up for when I leave Occlo and my [young] status ends.
'Back in the day' (I should start all these old-timer stories like this), I absolutely loved PvP vs axers. The reason being was that I knew they had to spend an extra 100 points in LJ, and were therefore lacking vs a mage in other areas. Nox mages, and especially scribe mages totally pwned every axer template in this (UO:R) period in PvP, if they knew how to PvP. Not sure how I'd go with an Aussie ping to a US server, but I will find out soon! The moment you see an axe in hand, rather than a short spear/spear,warfork/kryss, katana, halberd, warhammer or mace, you know EXACTLY what you are up against, and how to counter it. As for balanced stats and mindblast, you know that their stats won't be balanced after casting strength and feeblemind on them, to unbalance them further.
Yep that's what I've seen from my short time here on the forums. So if you're going to make a lumber character, make them a bard as well,s they are more viable for PvM, especially ironman runs for amibs etc Edit: or add mining so they are useful for gargoyle pickaxes/shovels
So late, i started this morning! O think I will love so much this template. A friend gave me a jungle ostard so I can train all the skills I need. After this one, may be I will try and Archer like keza!! Hahahaha
Just to be clear, I cannot take credit for that archery video or build. That is the work of @Jakob during an event back in the day.
Thank you for being honorable Keza! I might add that patience is the 8th GM skill to have in this template!
Exactly what I was saying earlier in this thread about a similar template a friend of mine used to great effect
I have tried a Stealth Archer PvP'er with no success, in the time it took to get a few good hits in I was roasted. Would not recommend this as a viable PvP build.
Arr Zenner, an archer/mage with DP would be a formidable pirate upon the high seas! I be needin' a relief soon that can show these scallywags how it is done!
Arr, belay my last. I be doin' some testin' on the test center. Archery is garbage for standard pvp and poisoning not be stackin' with poison field. Back to the seas with me dreams crushed...
I supossed to, when i dont see any Archer in occlo never. I dont have yet the axer-ossytank but im near the skill top. Improve lumber is soooooo heavy and long
