Shard will be down for a bit to do some necessary maintenance and also apply an update.
You are now be able to say “Boost” to a high priest NPC in order to receive a major blessing. This will require you to donate between 1 and 20000 gold pieces. The higher the amount donated (up to 20000) the better the blessing and the longer the duration (more than a hour at full donation).
Due to an IP change we will be updating the DNS and server. Estimated downtime is an hour.
We will be doing some necessary maintenance to the server and network. Downtime is expected to be several hours.
We will be doing some server maintenance and applying our latest patch which contains class balance changes.

We will be rolling out mega-clilocs (see screenshot below) in this patch. You will need to
download
this file and place it in your Ultima Online folder. Overwrite when asked. The Installer has also been updated.
These new clilocs will show class based information. This means a Mage will see different details than a Ranger or Thief. The new systems will also be making use of these mega-clilocs and useful information will be displayed accordingly.

– Two-Story Thatched Manor (6 teleporters)
– Four-Story Stone and Plaster House (1 teleporters)

*Retort, Oils and Amalgams (Refining stuff):
This system allows crafters to enhance and refine gear.
Crafters will have access to a new piece of equipment (a Retort) which can be purchased from the Vanity Shop.
With this tool you can combine certain reagents with materials to create the following items:
Mending Oil
Materials:
10 Brimstone
10 Ingots/Hides/Logs of any kind
The Mending Oil will take on the quality of the material used and use it to repair any piece of equipment.
Oils have 100 “charges” and the repair effectiveness of each charge will depend on the quality of both the Oil and the Equipment.
Mending Oil is non-stackable (due to charges and quality)
Refining
Alloy:(metal equipment)
10 Bloodspawn
10 Ingots
Varnish:(wood equipment)
10 Daemon Bone
10 Logs
Compound:(leather armor)
10 Bat Wings
10 Hides
Refining items will take the quality of the material used and you can use it to increase the quality of weapons and armor.
Your chance of refining depends on the quality of the Refining Item and the Equipment. You cannot refine GM items or Artifacts.
On Success it’ll increase the equipment quality by 0.1 (that’s the equivalent of 2.5% damage or AR)
On a failure three things can happen:
5%: Completely destroy the item
15%: Reduce item quality by 0.2
30%: Reduce item quality by 0.1
