    what do you do with the 1000 starting GP?

    Do you use it? Do you drop it?

    Thinking of starting this type of play

    Usually I spend on the purchase of useful skills in the future. In general for education :)

    Do you play a char that doesn't macro or buy things? You've got to use only what you've been given by the game?

    I take what I need, I give what I can and use everything that the game provides, as needed.

    I would claw my eyes out and chew off my own tongue trying to play this way.

    Do you sell things to vendors or only people?

    I buy things you can't craft.

    I guess you could go kill ogres for bottles, for example. That is a bit too far for me and doesn't make sense either, but if you want to do it, have at it. I view it as more of a hole in the in era crafting system than a naturalist issue.

    Personally my naturalist char isn't hard mode. I just play without any third party programs. I also don't support my character with other alts' skills/gold or accept handouts. You could say my natty is played the way UO intended it. I use the newb gold, I buy skills up to 30, i only use hotkeys or options customizable from the in-game options. But that's just me.

    From someone that struggled with a group seeing eye to eye on a singular ruleset on this, I personally voted no skills.

    Typically one weapon one armor piece and never used player vendors. That's what I eventually went with so people wanting to go the naturalist route wouldn't go insane.


    Good luck on your naturalist path, it's truly the most fun I've had here!

    Ogres are super hard mode for so long!
