Just making sure I'm clear on what you said on LP...if I have 95 real LP and GM DH, I can pick the Lvl 5 & 6 chests, correct?
It does, but I believe it's strength may scale with magery skill. I know it for sure works with 100.0 Magery.
Ahhh that could be why my 45 magery was not working. Guess I will add it to the list of things to get done thanks for the info.
Anyone know if a List of Monsters drop "X" Level Map exists? That way if you only wanted to get Level 4 Maps you could concentrate on hunting Monsters that would drop Level 4 Maps. If it doesn't exist elsewhere, it would be a nice addition in this awesome Guide!
The cartography needed to decode the map isn't right - not sure of the exact values but I was able to decode a level 3 (adeptly drawn) map with 52.5 real / 53.9 shown cartography.
I'm paraphrasing, but in IRC last night this was discussed, and it was stated that there was no need to GM Cart ATM because you could decode all maps with 72ish cartography..... Telamon said it was on his to-do list to fix it. I started to drop my Cartography to make room on my tight template, but with my luck as soon as I drop it..... I'll keep my 100 > my Luck.
Great guide! Built my first t-hunter ever in 15 years or so of off and on UO. The guide came in handiest when I decoded my first t-map, got my first shovel, double clicked it, targeted the ground, and kept getting 'You cannot mine here'
Question about the guide. The guide mentions you need 100 in real lock pick skill to open lvl 5 and 6 chests. My real LP skill is 94.4, I do have GM detect hidden. So the questions, if I dig up a lvl 5 or 6 chest, I won't be able to pick the lock? Figured I'd ask before I waste my good maps!
You will need to get your "show real" lockpicking skill to 95.0 (you can achieve this by lockpicking dungeon chests). Once your Real Skill for lockpicking is 95.0, this is where your gm detect hidden comes into play. GM detect adds 5.0 skill points to you lockpicking skill. Now your technically at GM lockpicking and able to pick a level 5 & 6 chest. As far as you getting the "you can not mine here" message. Ive ran across this on a few maps. I suggest trying a level 4 t-map and see if you can dig it up. If you dont have mining u must be digging on the exact tile the t-map is located. Hope this helps
decoded lvl 5 maps at 74 carto and lvl 6 at 88. good chance you can do it before 88 but that's what i was at when i got home.
hey first thanks for this great guide helped me a lot, havent played uo for ages so feel kinda like a noob. my question is, atm im going for 100 magery. 100 med. 100 lockpicking. 100 provo. 100 musik. 100 Cartography and 100 item id, so should i drop the item id for eval for more dmg, when im gonna do the higher level Treasure maps ?
Don't target the ground. Double click the shovel, target the map, then the map again. That's the easiest way
I'd drop it for hiding, personally. Hide as soon as the chest pops, gives you time to pull the bars and get provo ready
Without eval mage doesn't do much. This means you won't cast much. Consider trading meditation for something else.
Would it be viable to have one character, the cartographer, dig the treasure up and become monster food, while a second character - while hidden - pick the locks, stealth 1 step over, detonate the trap and then stealth back over and loot it all? Would this second character remain hidden during the looting? Leaving him to recall to a bank/home stash the goods and then open up a gate for the dead cartographer to walk back through? Thanks in advance if anyone has the answers to this!
