    Please update discord/provoke/peacemaking with the data on this page http://uorforum.com/threads/guide-to-the-bardic-arts.2912/#post-18740

    Please update lumberjacking to note that skill gain maxes at 65 for sparring and you must chop trees to get to 100

    The link on http://www.uorenaissance.com/compendium/bestiary and players' profiles for "Monster Kill Log (Public)" is the non prettified type and so all the links on that page go to the non prettified urls
    http://www.uorenaissance.com/info/?page=g_info_t5&id=1024 vs http://www.uorenaissance.com/info/goat
    this causes issues because the old style pages for example do not show the correct colored coins, and there are other issues
    http://www.uorenaissance.com/info/EventSkeleton3 vs http://www.uorenaissance.com/info/?page=g_info_t5&id=1331

    It doesn't say (Carve) next to feathers on each of these pages: http://www.uorenaissance.com/info/bird http://www.uorenaissance.com/info/tropicalbird http://www.uorenaissance.com/info/eagle http://www.uorenaissance.com/info/phoenix http://www.uorenaissance.com/info/harpy

    The bestiary lists a Crane but it doesn't appear in game, why? http://www.uorenaissance.com/info/?page=g_info_s5&stype=Birds

    Also, please update hiding skill page to note that there is no skill gain in your own house because it's a 100% success rate. Please also note that there is a 50% bonus to the chance to hide if 1 tile next to any house.

    Please also update the detect hidden skill page to note that there is a 100% success rate inside your own house so no skill gain.

    EDIT: please also update the protection spell with how much of a bonus it provides to avoid spell interruption. Does it just give increased armor? If so how much? I read that it prevents all disruption of spells but lowers your resist spells by 35% is that true?

    Please update the unlock and mana drain spells, it says TBD under formula. it also says this under paralyze field, reveal, the summoned elementals and daemon spells and how long the summoned creatures last for

    Please update meteor swarm, chain lightning, and earthquake spells to note they only do 1 damage (or whatever the actual damage is) inside houses

    Under magic lock it says "Magic Lock can be used to lock containers. These containers can still be Unlocked by Magery or picked with Lockpicking skill(??)" can you clarify?

    Please add how long reactive armor lasts or note that there is no time limit. it's also spelled wrong (armour) on this page: http://www.uorenaissance.com/info/?page=g_info_s2&stype=1stCircle

    Please update the stats page to show that your stats can be affected by things. This helps new players understand how the game works.

    http://www.uorenaissance.com/categorylist/Stats

    For example, wearing heavy armor lowers your dexterity. Players might wonder why their stats in game aren't showing 100 so having this info here might help.

    Or you can get to 120 hitpoints by chugging a strength potion.

    Also, a lot of the skills do not show starting items

    Hello Kaedryl,
    Since you have yet to receive a response from administration, I'll just reply to the best of my ability as a player. The Compendium and website details are a seemingly perpetual work in progress. I have personally drafted several pages of data for it and the surface has really only been scratched.

    So, not to say your attention to detail isn't appreciated but the issue isn't really a bug, but evidence of the monumental task that has been building this shard and its supporting data from all of the various sources of UO data on the web, coupled with what we actually have here to the code level.


    Thanks for caring, welcome aboard and if you want to volunteer to assist with things, feel free to PM Chris and offer your time. He will reach out as needed or as he has the time, I'm sure.

    Telamon asked me to put these issues here despite not being server bugs. I'd be glad to look through the server's RunUO code and answer my own questions if the admins would be willing. I can also fix these website issues but it's tough to trust someone you don't really know with the inner workings of the site I'm sure.

    Website changes are always addressed after major patches as we work in a cyclical process of development.

    We have however assigned one of our new staff members to audit the website for inaccuracies and will slowly improve the information available there.

    Thanks for the reports, if you checked the patch notes you will notice that in patch 58 a variety of these issues were fixed.
