Seems to work a bit faster if you let herding go up to 18-20 instead of 10.1. The way it works is that below 10 you have stat's trigger even if you fail to perform the skill, but after 10 you only gain stats if you successfully perform the skill. So bumping it up to 18-20 means you success the skill more and can gain more stats. I've gained around 6 str and 5 int in about 3-4 hours of macroing like this. Leave it running over night and you should be able to get around 20-30 stat points.

i am currently trying out alot of different skill values to gain stats. 10.1 worked but is not as fast as i woud like it to be obviously : ) right now im trying ~19. but im also thinking about just raising the skill (i.e.) spirit speak to as high as possible. as you pointed out one only gains stats if he succeed in the skill, and as i'm far from 7xgm in my needed skills (have alot of trash-skills to get to skillcap obv.), i wonder whats the idea behind "capping" ur skillgain atall.

Little OT, but I didn't want to make a new thread about this.

Has anyone ever heard of my UO fansite www.uothief.com?

(It's not monetized. This isn't just an advertisement. Just wondering.)

Just joined today. Haven't really played much, kinda lost on what to do though, besides killing skeletons on britania graveyard hehe. Read some guides in wiki and I am basically doing a warrior. Just became a citizen of Minoc.

My chars are:

- pickaboo (stealth archer)

- chopschops (lumberjack/carpenter)

I chop wood in Minoc, just holla.

The experience of this shard has been nothing short of awesome. Not only have I been able to relive (and in some cases re-discover) Ultima Online, I've also gotten the chance to do it with the TL.net folks plus the guys I used to play UO with (who are in the TL Guild).

Also, this never happened to me in the UO OSI shards:

I was in a dungeon and we were just farming mobs. This shady character kept coming around (you know the kind... no clothes or a death robe) and I was almost certain that we were going to either get looted or thieved. So finally after like the 5th time this guy came around I said something to him:

ME: Sup
HIM: hi
ME: Everything alright?
HIM: r u djwheat?
ME: yes
HIM: Ok then I won't loot your corpses
HIM: later

hahah

Sup brohams

I still have no idea how to join the TL guild but the drama on the IPY forums is hilarious

some goof today was stealing from everyone in the brit mage guild and i chased him down relentlessly for like 6 minutes with poisoned weapons shouting insults like i'm gonna getcha and you cant juke me bro

I kept following him around so he couldnt steal and he gave me my gold back at the bank and we chatted for a while it was pretty funny

I was using a scimitar and shield I probably could have gotten him if I had a poisoned halberd macroed >;O

Didn't even realize that the TL guild was teamliquid until randomly stumbling across this thread. Running weird character combos atm until i can afford to dump the tons of regs i'll need for gm magery (in the 70s atm)

If you see Draknar Everhate running around, dodging the tons of town theives hit me up, though mostly bard/maging things up in shame a lot of the time =D

Hi everyone, long time listener, first time caller.

I recently stumbled onto IPY completely by chance and it sparked my interest in playing UO (now I see this thread on TL and have to do a double take). I have never played UO before (?!) ~~and was just wondering if anyone can point me to a good guide or the like for scrubs like my lonesome.~~
Edit: This question has been answered in an earlier post.

I have been perusing the internet and most of what I have read is tailored to people that actually know what is going on. What I have figured out so far:
!Loop
UseSkill Hiding
Pause 11000

I hope to get up to speed and be able to play with the great TLians.
