    Life is crazy, and i have found myself back on this awesome shard! I started playing here years back and life got in the way of UO yet again...
    So... I have a great head start thanks to this awesome community for keeping accounts around! I was able to log into all 3 of my old accounts no problem.

    Here is my situation, I have a few characters I obviously spent time training but when i look at their skills, I wonder what the hell i was thinking for said character.
    I need to figure out what build to finalize on these characters that are going to be most beneficial to me early on, money making and establishing my accounts/crafters/ect. I am sure i went with healing and melee combat on all these characters in the beginning so i could make some gold to train magery and whatnot.

    The Avatar STR-85, DEX-92, INT-40
    healing-100
    lumberjack-69
    magery-100
    meditation-74
    mining-55
    swordsmanship-100
    tactics-100
    anatomy-100

    Dextros STR-85, DEX-100, INT-40
    healing-91
    resistspells-50
    fencing-100
    parrying-55
    tactics-100
    anatomy-100

    Joan Jett STR-85, DEX-100, INT-40
    healing-90
    magery-49
    musicianship-100
    fencing-100
    tactics-100
    hiding-100
    provocation-100
    anatomy-60

    The Avatar = possible Tank Mage? suggestions? no idea what i was doing with mining and everything? i think someone was helping me make this character, possible melee/magic/miner? no clue.

    Dextros = Pure Dexxer? or should this be my tank mage since hes starting with 50 res spell? again im at a loss what would be most beneficial early on.

    Joan Jett = Provo mage? I have the most playtime on a hiding provomage as my treasure-hunter/PVE/moneymaker in the past. (something to consider)


    Any and all helpful advice welcome, looking for direction for this shard.
    Also looking for some people/guild to join up with once i get a little more situated.

    Thanks!!!

    The Avatar - looks like you were aiming for a battle miner which can net tons of $$. May want to stick with that build.

    Dextos - Can stick with those skill, even on a dexxer resist is futile if your out in the field

    Joan Jett - skills look ok. I more of a purist when it comes to skills and like to 7x gm things but I know partial skills can work just as well if played right.

    As for all character stats. I would sacrifice dex to max STR/HP on all 3 of them. Maxxing HPs is a must in UO imo. On Dextros may just want to go 100/100/25 if you aren't planning on magery

    I’d drop meditation on the avatar. Good battle mining build without it.

    Yeah that sounds about right, i probably will stick with The Avatar as battle miner, im sure i can find a build or guide as im not familiar with that character.
    For dextros im not sure what ill do im sure ill figure out.
    For Joan jett i will def be cleaning that build up. i like to GM everything too :/
    Will have to work on the stats as well.
    thanks!

    will do thanks.

    Stay "poor". It is possibly the best way to ensure maximum enjoyment for the game.
