what do you do with the 1000 starting GP? Do you use it? Do you drop it? Thinking of starting this type of play
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?
my "naturalist" character Evocah, do not use money , do not use vendor too. i use natural ressource, things laying on ground and loots. I keep money on bank but not use it.
This link explain what i am doing with this character : http://uorforum.com/threads/native-savage-and-naturalist-way.22030/
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!
