  • Fishing Leaderboard re-enabled

As a reminder of a couple of key server rules:

  • If you encounter what is obviously a bug, for example, a mob you can hit endlessly that does not fight back, do not exploit the bug. Please report it using /bug in game and we will address it.
  • Tools which help you macro by injecting into the client are prohibited. Tools which do not inject, such as LOUHelper, are permitted.

These rules are in place, ultimately, for the long-term health of the server. Violating these rules may result in a jail sentence or being banned from the server. Thanks for playing fair.

  • Basic Fishing Leaderboard feature added
  • Talk to any Fisher vendor to view & have your fish weighed and added to the leaderboard

Housing has been enabled on Dagger Isle, on both the island containing the Honesty shrine and the island northeast of the city.

The Item Fixer NPC was added recently as a temporary on-demand fixer but they have been promoted to full-time and relocated to Counselor Hall buildings in Britain, Minoc and Yew, to remain permanently.

They can now fix the following issues:

  • Cloaks fitting in the wrong slot
  • MLK Book handout not opening
  • Halloween Masks fitting in the wrong slot

If you had crafted any pieces of equipment (armor, weapons, clothing) anytime between today's restart 9 am UTC until about 11:25 AM UTC, these items are unfortunately bugged and cannot be accepted by a Bulk Order Deed even though they match.

Apologies for the issue! This is related to an issue that has been resolved, newly crafted items will work as expected.

  • Fixed an issue with not being able to harvest stone with a normal pickaxe & new pickaxes not having the toggle option
  • Fixed issue with crafting equipment not applying any properties like Exceptional or others
  • Fixed a few Crafting recipe issues for:
    • Cooking: Apple Pie Slice & Cooked Fish: issue fixed prevented cooking these items
    • Carpentry: Hitching Post: removed as this is moved to Veteran Rewards
  • Added improvements to player vendor's Recent Sales tracking; the list will now keep track of how many similar items were sold instead of printing a new line for each individual item & improved the interface readability
  • CAPTCHA has been added to plant picking (cotton harvesting)
  • Added missing Spinning Wheels to all towns
  • Fixed issue with Stone Masonry books being locked down in the backpack (if you have one stuck in your backpack please page for help)
  • Fixed issue with older crafting tools not working in some cases since the addition of Bulk Orders
  • Fixed an issue with not being able to add Ornate Rugs or possibly other items to matching Small Bulk Orders
  • Fixed an issue with loot from monsters or treasure chests being off slightly
  • Fixed an issue with the "Linen Helm" Tailoring recipe not being available
  • We're aware of and investigating issues with some items like rugs that cannot be added to matching Small Bulk Orders

  • We're aware that the Cloth stack is missing an icon so when you see Cloth in the inventory list, like in your backpack, it may show the icon of another object. This does not affect the ability to use the Cloth, however. This is currently out of hands to resolve, and there are many other items missing icons as well, one day we hope to have the ability to fix that in the client.

Ok, apologies for the earlier false start all. Please log in to your clients again - you should again get a new 'britanniamain' asset downloaded and the trees should be working.

Thanks as always for your patience.

  • Trees should now be properly harvestable again. Log out and back into the game and it should download a new 'britanniamain' asset

The following updates are now live!

Bulk Orders Added

Mining & Blacksmithy Changes

Tailoring Changes

  • Sewing Kits added as the primary tool for Tailoring
  • Scissors are now only used for cutting fabric and items
  • Cutting cloth items will now retain the color of the item being cut, resulting in colored material returns, allowing you to turn that material into something else
  • Spinning wheel added as a workbench for spinning cotton (cannot be crafted, received as loot for Tailoring BODs, also exists in tailoring shops)
    • Cotton now requires being spun on a spinning wheel, which will spin it to thread, which can then be woven into Bolts of Fabric on the Loom via Tailoring
    • Bolts of Fabric can no longer be used to craft with, instead, they need to be cut into sheets of fabric
    • Bolts & sheets of fabric now retain their color when working with them, meaning if you have a pile of fabric that is Green, then the shirt you craft will be Green also
    • Clothes can now be crafted as Exceptional

At approximately 5:00 AM UTC (about an hour from now), the server will come down for a few major updates. We expect the server will be offline for less than an hour. Thanks for your patience as always, and we're excited to share some new content with you!

The Item Fixer vendor has been spawned outside of Skara Brae Bank. For the next week, if you bring them your bugged MLK day handout book, right click and select Fix Item, then target the book, they'll take it and give you a new, functional one.

  • Vendors in Skara Brae have sorted out their supply line issues to the mainland and will now continually restock their goods after a short period of time.

After a nightly restart:

  • Players will no longer be able to stealth in full plate.
  • Wearing anything heavier than leather armor (> 10% Armor Penalty) will cause a penalty to stealth / increased chance to reveal (even at GM Stealth), with the chance to reveal increased based on the armor penalty of what you're wearing (see your paperdoll for armor penalty information)
  • There is no penalty whatsoever for stealthing in cloth or leather.

This change has been made in order to be more in-line with UO's stealth mechanics around heavier armors.
