The answer, my friends, is pretty simple. Being skilled in Spirit Speak will allow you to connect your consciousness to the netherworld; allowing you to speak to ghosts! How to train Spirit Speak: The path to becoming a medium. Spirit Speak is an easy skill to train as long as you have time. You don't need any resources or ghosts for that matter! You can train Spirit Speak from most healer NPCs. Use Razor to macro the skill! Spirit Speak can be trained one a 5 second loop. Below is a macro for your reference. Code: !Loop Assistant.Macros.UseSkillAction|32 Assistant.Macros.PauseAction|00:00:05 In a couple of hours of macroing you will be a Grandmaster Medium! What can a medium do? Now that you are a skilled medium, you will no longer be bothered by the annoying incomprehensible "OoooOOoOo OOooOo" language of the dead. When you activate your Spirit Speak skill you will be able to understand the every word of a ghost. Let me demonstrate: What Spirit Speak DOESN'T dooOoOo on UO:R: Spirit Speak has seen many utilities on other shards and in other eras. So, to be clear you can expect that Spirit Speak on UO:R will not: Allow a GM Medium the ability to automatically interpret ghosts; you must activate the skill. Allow a GM Medium to be heard by the living when they are a ghost themselves. Channel energy of corpses and the netherworld to heal. Affect any other magical skills.
Nice guide - thanks. I really would like spirit speak could allow to see also non-war-mode ghosts. Would give it at least a bit of use by seeing ghost-spies. I thought/hoped this would work like this on the server. Your guide showed me: its not.
Yeah, definitely some functionality of Spirit Speak that isn't here. For instances, being able to be understood as a ghost with GM spirit speak. Not sure what is era accurate or not, though. Definitely some things that could be added to the skill to make it a little less useless.
