Hi All, I wanted to share the legend/matrix/map I created after diving fairly deep into the world of UO-Coordinates. Hopefully this can help someone that is embarking on a journey into the oceans of Sosaria. Feedback appreciated. Thanks Who is this for - A Scallywag such as myself that doesn't know a thing of the oceans but wants to get rich fishing up MIBs. What is this - A very basic cheat sheet to segment Sosaria's vast ocean into quadrants. When would I use this - This tool should be used during the planning period prior to setting sail in the open seas fishing up MIBS. Where would I use this - Right where you are. How would I use this - Great question! From the feedback I have received; It is much easier to sort the MIBs by area before fishing them up. This tool can be used to translate the coordinates on the MIBS to the Quadrants shown below. To do this you will need to click on a MIB and reveal the coordinates on the parchment. The coordinates should be labeled something similar to: -------- XXX*XX(North or South), XXX* XX(East or West) for this example lets use: 115* 45N, 75* 25W --------- For our purpose we only need to focus on the first value in the north/south plane and the 1st value in the east/west plane. Based on our example. The values we will use are: 115 (North), 75 (West) If I reference the matrix, I know that this MIB is hidden in the ocean somewhere in N1 quadrant. I know this because on the map, N1 encompasses the areas from 0 - 142 north (115 falls within this range) and 0 - 92 west (75 falls within this range). HOOORAY OMFG THATS AWESOME I GET IT, BUT WHAT NOW? I, personally, created a grid of bags that matches the quadrants shown on the map matrix. The bags are color coded (to match the map) and have books inside of them labeled: ----------- N1, N2, N3, N4 C1, C2, C3, C4 S1, S2, S3, S4 ----------- Once I figure out which quadrant of the map the MIB is hiding, I put the MIB inside of the bag associated with that quadrant. This may seem a bit tedious at first but the more you do it the quicker it will go. Once you are done sorting all of your MIBS you will have 12 bags full of sunken treasure all grouped together by location. This means you can spend more time fishing up treasure and less time pointlessly sailing around the globe! Yes this will require some work on the front end, but the back end results should speak for themselves. I should also point out, you will still need a 3rd party mapping system to actually find the maps when you are sailing... I highly recommend checking out @gitchu1000 post on that. LINK TO POST SHOWING HOW TO ENTER MIB COORDINATES INTO CUO WORLD MAP HERE Lastly, I do not claim to have reinvented the wheel here. A lot of this information can be found on the forums from previous authors. The reason for this post specifically is due to the fact that I could not find an easy way to understand the UO coordinate system when it comes to sorting MIBs. Hopefully this helps someone as much as it has helped me in creating it. Thanks for coming to my Nogood guide.
Just a quick update, using this method I was able to sort about 250 maps in 30 minutes. After a while you don’t even look at the matrix anymore you memorize the quadrants and the associated bags. 1. Keep the mibs in a container inside your backpack. This will allow the parchment to spawn inside your backpack and be easy to find/move once you’ve completed step 4. 2. Create a razor macro for clicking a single MIB (for me this is f1) 3. Create a separate razor macro for clicking the parchment. (For me this is f2) 4. Read the lat/long out loud, I promise reading it out loud helps retain and speed it up. 5. Put the parchment in the bag associated with that quadrant. 6. Repeat The workflow seems a bit bulky but this will essentially take 7-10 seconds and you can just power through it to knock this out. Also, I tried combining steps 2/3 into one macro but it wouldn’t work correctly, I advise separating them.
