Just got back into UO the other week after 15 years, picked this shard (excited it exists) and tryin to figure out what my first character should be. Something relatively cheap and easy to GM with main goal being PvM Gold farming. Obvious choice is provo/peace something, guess im asking for deeper advice on a build and path. -Originally I thought- 100: Provo, Music, Tact, Anat, Sword or Arch. 81: Healing, Hiding. 38: Magery (for recall scroll). * First off, regardless of provo or peace... is this a good choice otherwise for a gold-making first char? Am I losing out too much on anything by doing 81/81/38? Im assuming that choosing archery will take a hit on total income from buying arrows (as for how much I dont know). Anyways, someone clued me into peacemaking... which in terms of gold mining, I have no clue about as an alternative to provocation but would like some thoughts/advice on which to choose. -Also, would this be a better option- 100: Provo, Music, Tact, Anat, Melee, Magery, Eval or Med or something else, etc. * I realize having to choose between Eval and Med is really bad and possibly just better off going full mage.. but maybe not? For my first char id like to avoid full mage if I can (I think).
I would suggest resist over hiding because when those MB's hit you for 40, you will wish that it would not be 40 damage. The rest seems fine to me.
Hi there, in general, I'd say Provo needs more skill in micromanagement than Peace. But you sound like you can handle it. Provo gives you much more farming options and more income. Choose that. I would skip all defensive skills like Resist and Hiding. Get 60-70 something magery for Reflect spells and Recall and try to have Reflect always up. And get GM Healing. So, something like Provo, music, weapon, tatics, anatomy, healing, 70 magery and 30 med.
This will be a great first gold earning character. I'll sign the petition for provo-dexers as well. Very powerful. I'd vote against Archery.
I agree with the provo warrior idea. I run: Music Provo Swords Tactics Anatomy Healing 90 Magery 70 Lumberjacking 40 Like blackeye said, keep reflect up and with that level of mageru you can g-heal well enough.
Welcome to UOR Chase!! Provocation would be my choice. I personally did a dexxer to get my initial funds while I built up my provo mage on the side. By the time your crushing earth eles and liches youll have enough gold to macro up your provo mage and start making some great loots! Provo dexxers are fantastic as well however! Good luck on what you decide.
thanx so much for the advice everyone! Yeah at this point Ill go with Provo Dexxer (relatively free to gm) untill I get some cash and then I can convert to build up into Provo-mage... figure lotta new ppl eventually do that anyways lol.
Any explicit reason, why you would change to a mage? I stick to my dexxers, because it's more income with more risk and fun.
mm thats a great point! esp if I wanna keep to a semi nostalgic vibe with melee.. seems like almost no one is melee anything on here.. and no archers, man that was my fave when it was something useful. I figured mage just cuz of the broader versatility but we will see.
Well, not everybody likes risk when farming gold (i.e. the majority of our "Feluccan" population, most of the PKs included btw).
yeah i dont think i like risk that much right now, i barely started playing the game, hell ive killed like 10 things maybe, just macroin the whole time so a dexxer next cycle
