UO:Renaissance - Thieving perfected (ongoing thread)

The riddle of the chinese fingertrap has been solved! I am BACK!



PS: The owner ex-owner can PM me for a somewhat cheap re-buy.

Murdered a man hunting vampires in Occlo dungeon. The RRG pledges to support your bid for removing the stealing ban there. He had a statue, an H coin, and was hunting with a very nice vanq weapon. Why should he have special treatment?

It realy suprised me that its not possible to get robbed in there.
The last time Blackeye appeared next to me in there i didnt know about that, and all-killed him straight away lol..

To be honest, since i know this fact, i enjoy the safety of the spot, and still use it to start/finish farming circles which is.. lets be real.. a pretty bad habbit for players on a fel. shard, but completely legal here.

Thiefing should be allowed, there should be no such thing as a thief free farmspot (although the spawn there is VERY VERY VERY slow compared to others) and it doesnt make sense because you can get pked in there too.

I support your right to kill, thieve and make my UO life miserable.

As far as I understand the Occlo Dungeon is there for newbies and therefore the dungeon is stealing-protected.
However, a Young char can't be robbed anyways. So it makes no sense. Remove stealing protection there!

Minor problem. I did PM Telamon long ago and remembered him of the issue with a thread in the bug forum.

Now let's get back to all your fabulous thieving adventures!

Perhaps, let me start with a side note: My amount of stolen holiday coins so far is 69. No, I didn't invest too much time in this event and sadly didn't take screenshots of all the steals.

The day I found 156 plats on a patio waiting for a new owner: today!



Sidenote: It's not that simple. I have been observing this estate for a while now. You can estimate the owner by looking at the crystal and the lava tile.

Ugh... that makes me sick. My hands are twitching. Nice find.

156 Plats!

Damnit horno, you should think about proper home security..

congrats on that find BE

LOL nice find. Must have been over 24h thats been unlocked!

some awesome deco though

Just over a mil in a single score, well done!

pocket change

What the ****!
Congrats! Incredible.

Portals, all the time. My strange compulsion to enter them has found me in all corners of the world. Today I found myself in a northern territory far from civilized or even traveled roads. Having foolishly neglected to bring any way to get home on my own, I decided I would go door to door looking for assistance.

After several miles and probably twenty or more doors, I stumbled upon a door with a cute little red bag hanging off the doorknob. "What," I thought, "might this mean? Bags on doors, now?"

Having little in the way of control over my fingers I quickly found myself holding what by all appearances were the keys to the house themselves. How strange, how odd! How CLEVER! Who even THINKS to look in a bag hanging from the doorknob for the keys to the house? I tried them of course! In the keys went, the keys turned, the door slid open, and I found myself standing in a comfy little cottage like the one my mother used to dream about.



Now, I am not one to enter someone's personal space unannounced, so I called out asking if anyone was home. After some time with no response I felt obligated to explore, and well... you know the rest. One cannot control ones sticky fingers in such moments!

There were some magical wands of sorts that created a show of fireworks, a large amount of various furnatures, and other things all stuffed in a chest. I took only 100 silver coins, the wands which I found to be particularly to my liking ((4 fireworks wands)) and what appeared to be an assortment of soft and colorful cloth. I don't really know what came over me, black has always been more my style, but these colors... they just draw you in you know? And if for some reason I had difficulty getting home before nightfall I could wrap myself up in them to stay warm.



((The colors and quantities looted from the house of Joshua were:

1162 (a beautiful cyan) 84 yrds
1156 (in my opinion ugly dark blue) 187 yrds
1163 (rich purple) 80 yrds
1158 (deeper rich purple) 55 yrds
2130 (an interesting pale dark cyan) 42 yrds
1193 (a beautiful rich dark green) 100 yrds
1155 (rich forest green) 100 yrds
1175 (a very nice dark dark grey) 154 yrds

According to the price guide which I misread, only the rarest hues have real value, so perhaps these aren't worth much after all. That said, they're still pretty!))

Theyre certainly not worth that, it's bod cloth from the lowest tier flips, I know many of us bod'ers have tens of thousands of yards of the stuff. I thoroughly enjoyed the story though!

I awoke from an extended slumber to find the jungle just as overgrown as when I had left it.


Today's adventure started off at the spawn of the Blood Elemental, where I found the Knight Beregond slaying these vile creatures. Positioning myself was key as he brought the Diseased Elemental to its last breath. In his pack appeared a Platinum coin and a Ingeniously Drawn T-map. A quick mental valuation told me to go with the map and off I ran just as he climbed into his portal of safety. I was able to net a humble 35k on a quick sale.



Hours later I came upon the lands inhabited by the Dungeon Guards. Noticing a flaw in the security of a particular individuals home, I sifted through his goods taking only the most valuable:
an eminently accurate battle axe of might and arachnid doom
an exceedingly accurate silver cutlass of vanquishing
a surpassingly accurate longsword of repond slayer
a surpassingly accurate substantial viking sword of might and snake's bane

Excellent outcome of the voluntary security check. Good for them that you were able to find a flaw and even better that you were able to collect a appropriate reward for this outstanding service to the DG community!

Safety first!

Big thieving contest running during December 2015! Post your tales here!
