To anyone else looking for the green gates in the major cities - Just use regular moongate to Minoc, stay on your horse. Check the map in the OP, and simply keep the body of water to your right - the location is easy to find even with just the UO minimap. In front of the event keep is a green gate - you can pop in there to drop off your horse and bank your stuff, then pop out of the green gate to return to the event keep. Give the guard a really strong high five to enter the keep
Also - if your new - you won't die. You will go down to 1hp but you will never die. Seen a few people freaking out asking for a heal. Just park yourself in the pit with the other living people, feel the burn and watch those gains rack up. You will not die.
Its based on a damage calculation of the spell itself and the indirect effect of it hitting you through the floor, i believe. Some UOR numbers wonk can probably explain better.
I believe the mechanic is in place to stop players killing players through the walls of there houses with area field spells. So you can take them down to 1hp. But that's it. And the casters are on a second floor so that mechanic applies to us, in the pit. How's everyone doing? Anyone GM'd yet?
Awesome thanks for the answers, and thanks for hosting us! (BTW, how do I get out when I'm done or need to go collect a BOD?) **Nevermind, I just realized I could log out and back in!**
Came in to ask this exact question. Will I be logged back in inside, or will I need to enter again to continue? My toons are around 95, I think. From various starting points. Only just seen the hat thing though.
Let me get this right. Useskill mediatation Equip hat Wait 5 seconds. Unequip hat. Repeat to fade. Right? Even if char has zero med skill?
Seem to have levelled out on all three chars at the moment: 95.1 95.9 97.2 No gains for last 10 minutes. Weird.
It will keep going, don't sweat it @compsays - check to make sure you're not at skill cap though just to be on the safe side!
Cheers Sheep. Yep, I got just the one skill set to up (resist) and one set to down, on each toon. I'll come back in a while. Still nothing, after steady gains for the past 16 hours, which is very odd.
Got from ~30 to 77.8 over around 8-9 hours on the meteor pit, seems to have settled there as well, but it is still going, however slowly. Thanks again!!
