MIB Fishing 101 - brought to you by SOUL!

[Synkara]

This here be a map system I created in order to make fishing up MIBs/SoS's take less time and cause less headaches.

The map was created using UO Automap, so for those of you using UO Cartographer or do not use any type of mapping system at all, you may not find this useful. Please be sure you have UOAM installed and pointing to your Ultima Online directory folder located in Program Files in Windows Explorer.

Bear in mind I have never used UO Cartographer so I cannot confirm if this will be useful with the program.

I have marked 32 spots throughout the Trammel facet of Sosaria. For best results I recommend making copies of the two runebooks I have located on Dragon Island in the Isle of Lost Souls: Runebook Library (131,44'S-18,33'W) Books are outside on stone table.

If you have any issues finding it you can PM Synkara ingame for a rune.

-Save a copy of the above map and put a shortcut on your desktop
-Open MIB Map (Above)
-Open UO Auto Map
-Click on Map and select Full Map

-Type in coordinates of the Waterstained SOS in UOAM by right clicking your map and selecting Go To Location..then select Latitude/Longitude. Type coordinates in the box and select OK. Select OK again to return to map.
Next click on Places and select Drop or Pick Up Marker. If you already have a current marker you will need to do this twice before you can move on to the next step..otherwise you will have to retype in coordinates again.

-Now before you move your character, refer to your MIB map and see which number is closest to your destination. Recall to the spot and place a ship in the water. Sail to location and fish up your treasure.

For those of you looking for an even quicker method. Go ahead and donate or farm up 3000 Oceanic Coins so you can obtain a Magical Water Quiver of the Sea Horse. If your taming is GM or higher you can buy a Sea Horse and ride it on water. So all you will need to do is recall to number closest to your destination and simply run into the water and head towards your destination. This saves time by eliminating having to place a ship into the water, sailing to the location, and having to sail back to land to redock your ship.

I find it even faster to make a Restock Agent in Razor to only loot Gold, Pandora Coins, Gems, and nets. Set hotkey and target treasure chest.
If you are looking for reagents, scrolls, gear, or chests to collect...this is not recommended.

It never hurts to carry along a Portable Trash Basket in order to get rid of unwanted junk. You can get one by donating!

Hope t' see ye lubbers more active on the open seas!

The map has been edited from the original copy due to the dungeon off of Island of the Avatar that is not shown on the map (#12)

Also I forgot to mention that the Runebook Library where the books can be found is on the Felucca side. Sorry bout that...but a pirate can't feel at home living in Trammel.

Not a problem mate. The library is still under construction so I apologize if any of the unmarked books are something you seek. We are also going to be putting a copy of the Library on the Trammel side as well for those Young Players out there and others who like to avoid venturing into Felucca.
