    Hi guys!
    I started playing this shard 2 days ago, on a million years break from UO
    I was still a newbie when I played a long time ago, so I started reading guides and doing some searching
    this guide was specially helpful! http://uorforum.com/threads/new-to-ultima-online-start-here.3182/

    I wanted to make my first character easy to build and get some gold, so I made a warrior and put these skills on him

    Fencing, Tactics, Parrying, Healing, Anatomy, Magery, Musicianship

    I don't plan on doing pvp, so this one is mostly for Pve and grabbing some gold for my future characters
    now, I've read that discordance is pretty good, but I have no more room for it
    should I drop parrying and get discordance?

    Thanks!:)

    This shard is a great choice!!! Go to hell parry and do tamer/mage it will bring you a lot of gold, and there already and the experience and insight will come! War seems to me a lot not to make...

    The first time I was also a warrior, but then I realized that I have no friends here to see prices of War game is not profitable and did tamer who earn! And my warrior-suffering changes and it is now a bandit :)

    UORenaissance is the right choice. Have a nice game!

    yeah! it sure is a nice shard! people seem really cool from what I've seen on the forum :)

    I haven't checked deeply the tamer/mage builds, but do they need high magery? I'm really broke and can't afford to level magery right now, that's why I tried with the "cheap" way
    I'll read about tamer/mage now and plan my next character (or how to rebuild this one)
    Thank you Kiryana! :D

    An easy way to get started is do this, but yeah drop parry for one of the bard skills (peace, provo, disco).

    Provo and music won't cost you anything but cheap instruments from npcs and sometimes people give them out free. You'll be able to macro it pretty fast then bring up your other skills while fighting and making money in the wild (maybe stick to Occlo in the young program if you still need time to relearn the ropes). Welcome to UOR!

    As someone who just started on this shard a little more than a week ago, welcome! Now I strongly suggest you start with 50 Provo/Mage. Then using your new player gold, buy a boat load of tambourines and head into the newbie dungeon. Do a provoke macro for a troll onto the harpy. Once the gains stop, switch to troll to troll. That will carry you to 81.8-ish and most likely 90-GM music. Once there, hop onto IRC and ask for admittance to the Wodan provo house. Provoking those sailors will GM you easily.

    Bam. 2-3 days, GM Music & Provo. Then decide if you want to go the warrior path or mage path. Either way, you can make good money provoking monsters and enough magery for recalling. Trust me, you can easily make enough money during your play hours to macro magery to GM in your off/sleeping hours.

    Thank you so much guys!
    Luckily I put magery as a primary skill when I created the character, so I already have it at 50
    as soon as I get back to home I'll switch parrying for provo

    this is gonna be hot! :)

    If you have 0 Provo and the character is already created, train it up to the 30's from a NPC, then provoke the Lizardman onto the Ratman in the newbie dungeon till you're around 50, then proceed with what I typed earlier.

    Pic # 2 below is where the provocation "pens" are. They are straight up (NW) from the entrance. You can't miss them:

    EDIT: Hit me up on IRC (Nick = RIN) if you have questions and want answers from a UO:R newcomer, but UO vet.

    Hello, because most likely need to rewrite macros in part but not completely, but in terms of inciting monsters. You must depart from the place where there were necessary. The way to the city dungeon Occlo, provocation can be raised no more than 85, more will go very slow! It should then swing on the pirates ... Sorry for my English:)
