Pandora | Ultima Online

So after alot of running around in towns, far more then whats healthy for you, i completed the achievment of adding 2 stealables per felucca town. (alot of checking what would fit for that town, or what hue it should be as rare* etc)

*Almost all stealables will have a chance of a different hue at 10% per spawn. The rest will just look different, and with that i mean it could be a stone that looks different each spawn, theres alot of different stones out there.. But thats just for example, since i dont want to give away any clues)

The stealables will blend in quite good, and will be inside houses, or in a towns vicinity, kinda. Most will spawn inside the town itself. But since most of the stealables will have a 10% chance of spawning as a different hue, those would be easier to spot then others. Most stealables wont even be highlighted if  you hover your mouse over them, so thiefs, start those stealing macros and hope that you know what has been added to that town!, it wont be easy! (they will spawn in the same place, so once you know one location, your good to go)

**i might or might not turn guards off for a few days, during the search.
Your allowed to change your vote!

Will the stealables stay up until they are stolen like normal ones or will they have a timer like the rare  Easter eggs did?

Spawn randomly in a 24 hour period on Sundays? The busiest time on shard.

Keep guards turned on, raise them stakes...  :o

I thought if i turned off the guards, players could wreck havoc.. one type of player trying to steal stuff, and one type of player that would try kill em.

And they will be out until stolen, and they will have quite long respawn delay, wont mention that since i dont want you all to know the timers, so u could try figure out when to check. Even tho that would be almost impossible i recon...  If i think some of the stealables will be too easy, i might put on a duration on em, but for a far more reasonable time, 1-3h or so.

And lastly, when i meant 0-24h period, i mean that i will set all the stealable timers to for example 14h, so all stealables will spawn at once, but you dont know when, just within that period of time. But if you notice someone found 1, that probably means they are out ^^

Guards should be turned off ^^ Makes it harder to get them for a while, and more action for us reds.  8)

I was waiting for Grims guards post  :P

34 invincible tiny clocks are now ticking.....tick....tock.....tick....tock.

Haha!  :P

When someone actually finds a new stealable, please post pics of it, just the item, not the location obviously....Nigel

(http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w71/Aminals420/never-1.gif) (http://s173.photobucket.com/user/Aminals420/media/never-1.gif.html)

just want to mention that the clocks have been silenced, for some time..  I will take a look if someone found any of the stealables yet..

Since i made a lil "oopsie" on my average spying agenda, i poffed a  certain someone to a certain place, instead of going to that player in question (buttons are extremly close to each other, if you want to know.. It was grim by the way), since i knew he was looking for stealables.. So i will mention one of the stealables to you all, Delucia, 5275,4011,39 and its a scarecrow.. I reset its timer.  Just infront of the stables, if you see 3 small plowed fields, the one most to the east is the one that has it.

edit: a general advice to you all, circle of transparancy is your best help to find em all!

I got  tree and a statue brit (fel)

you must have big pockets :D

here's the "stealys" me and tokey collected together

the 2 anchors (white) are im guessing the "colored" ones, and the stick (black) is one also

Good stuff guys. I got a bowl of bloody water that looks kinda like the one from Doom. I'd take a pic but i'm sure you can tell what it looks like :P

I got the weapons/swords display, kinda hard to see on my wall, but i will post a pic later today....Nigel

last time i checked, all stealables except one had been taken.. (apart from scarecrow due to i reset it, might been taken now if it have respawned).. Hope you enjoy and continue to enjoy these ^^ Next plan is to do a few for some felucca dungeons aswell, then after that, some extremly exclusive stealables, but those will pop back if whacked by guards, so some extreme stealth game and planning needs to be used.. But thats for the future, took around 5-10h to set em all up, took longer then i suspected, but alot of players in help postponed it all (dont worry, im here to help afterall).. Quite suprised that it took this quickly to find em all, the player that found the artifacts in wind, please feel free to pm me, or write here, how your tactics were =P

got 3 more today

Gratz on finding the red/white banner, it was the last stealable to be found!

Are the stealables going to keep respawning or was that it?

they will keep spawning ^^ But i might announce a none-respawning stealable, as a part of a mini event or whatnot

I would be interested if anyone is going to sell any of the doubles they may get, I know once you have found a spot, youre probably never gonna let it be known, so I would be very interested in buying some for my collection.

Noll, it would be great if you could add a few random spots that could pop up in different spots, I dont know if thats possible with your codes, but it would be interesting, no one could camp those, just a thought  Ty.....Nigel

well i will probably reveal all the locations soon.. and random spots.. sure could work for a few stealables, but as you might see, the current stealables are currently hidden near simular none-stealable items =P

Doing some runebooks now, with all the stealables.. I will place them somewhere later, perhaps an area that is a bit tricky to reach, since i saw some stealables were spawned.. So a mini stealable event, get to the runebook, go to a place you dont know about, perhaps steal the item, then mark it for yourself.. I will probably place them in an easier to access area later on

TY Noll ....Nigel

runebooks have been placed in covetous felucca, lake level... Also teleporters to those stealables in Wind/Delucia/Papua..
Will locate runebook and teleporters to somewhere thats easier access later, but for now, its a race to get all locations cleared and marked ^^.. Later on i will place em for a week or 2, somewhere better, so everyone will get a good idea on where each stealable is, feel free to contribute this to the pandora wiki, especially if you get there when a stealable is spawned, or bring yours and take a printscreen when your holding/dragging it over the spawn spot

For me, all the time I've spent finding these stealables, has just become a complete waste. Maybe I'm one of the few that enjoyed the feeling of accomplishment when I found a new location through my own efforts. Kinda soured by this decision to give people the locations that didn't actively go out and do the legwork.

Can understand what you mean, But due to the stealables hidden nature, a player knowing its location, can easily have his or hers own monopoly over this stealable...  So publishing the exact locations ~8? days after, i think it is rather fair, the early bird got atleast 1 or 2 of that particular stealable.

Not really into that whole stealable thing.
But maybe i can help (or make it worse!!^^):

You can find the exact locations of the "regular" stealables in UOGuide. So there is no real competition on those.

This made the new stealables more interesting (so i guess lol) and therefore also more valuable and worth the time searching for them. On the other hand there is this monopoly thing, yes. But how much could you really ask for one of these stealables? More than for the ruined painting (Doom)? I don't think so.

Although I understand why you, Noll, did this. I think there were only very few players who had all the locations or at least "a lot". Theoretically they could sell the stealables or the locations for a good price...
But still: Isn't this the whole purpose? Competition? Reward for those who took the time and looked for the items?

Maybe it's too late now. But I would suggest a more "salomonic" approach on it:
Add a book with 50% of the locations. So for the other 50% people still have to find out the exact location. Makes a few more valuable than others.
But maybe it's too late now.^^

(Note: I don't get anything out of this since i am zero interested in stealables.^^)

Fair would be to allow those that put forth the effort to reap the rewards. Eventually, through the selling of locations, trading among players, etc., the locations would become public knowledge.

I sure would like to know the secret to getting the banner?  No matter what I tried it was out of reach...Nigel

If you mean the one in Jhelom, i tried it and i managed to steal it.. a tiny bit of a trick to it..  Last target macro needed ^^

I still have no idea Noll, early sinility has kicked in big time, I will find you some day, maybe you could show me...TY Nigel
