46 Hot Patch


- New players will now start with a book that gives them 100 in all skills.

We came to the conclusion that the real game of Pandora is getting items, imbuing, and getting those skills to 120. This should not effect gameplay, only keep newer players who do not want to build a character for the 10th time in their 15 years of playing UO.

- All players will have a book in their backpack that will set any skills that are 99.9 and below to 100. This will not effect skills over 100.

- The last 2 crashes were from the shrink system. This has been fixed.

- Animal Lore will now display bonding info

- FixMe gump cannot be moved

- Vehicle / Boat movement packets are fixed.

- All Renowned Mini-Champ bosses now have a 1/10 chance to drop Relic Fragments

- GeoLocation optimised with async functions

- Various other optimizations & fixes.

Stay tuned.

good idea saves a lot and you still have to work at 120 skills.

What was about time?

Set skills to 100.0

I think for newer players this is a reason to stay, cause they can start with collecting scrolls etc etc.

Agreed.

Question, you change it to where champs drop 1/10 or just mini champs? Just killed Neira with Drakania and no relics dropped. Just looking for clarification on this matter.

Champions haven't been touched. They continue to drop Relics, some more than others. Players who hunt them a lot could give better insight. That was many patches ago hehe.

[zaxarus]

Sure about Neira? She should drop always 1 Relic. Only (real) Champ i know who can drop 0 to 1 Relic is Coon.

[Walker]

100% positive. Drak never got close to the corpse and i checked it first, no relic. First champ i've killed without one.
