Alchemy & Inscription

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.computer.ultima.online (More info?)

Is there by chance a powerscroll for alchemy? Even with GM status it is a
PITA to make Deadly Poison.

Also, is there any easy way to raise inscription? I've been stuck at 86.4
for awhile and i have plenty of extra points not used up yet.

TIA
Paul

No easy way I think. I just made a lot of circle 8 scrolls. Sometimes
skills get stuck, it has happened to me too with several skills. Usually
the best thing to do is to let that char rest a week or so and then
continue, at least that has worked for me.

The yo-yo effect in action...didn't they just turn down VB loot?
I'm looking forward to testing my dungeon chest run. Netted 15k last night
incl. jewels, hoping for some worthwhile items tonight!

Well the economy is really really going to be screwed now. It's still fun
right now though. At least until everyone is wearing 1000 Luck, 100% LRC
suits, etc.

Vorpals came in as part of the Jukka/Meer/Ant scenario arc about a
year or so before AoS. Their loot was OK until AoS, and then went
through the roof for about 3-6 months, and then was nerfed to near
non-existence.

(Over the last two years or so, I think I've made about 6-8 mill just
growing and selling thorns.)

Yeah, just increasing the gold doesn't work IRL, so I doubt it does in UO
either! At least there will be somewhere else other than Doom to pick up
decent loot.

What's the going rate for thorns going to be now? I still have a few
hundred left over from before the prices dropped after bunnies were
nerfed.

Who knows? I've been selling them 300/ea, put the first batch on at
400/ea this AM. Will creep up till they quit selling.
