Most of the above were updated in a Five ON Friday,# 53 UO:F brings it in first.

Each of the item properties has a maximum intensity (commonly called MAX) that it can possibly be spawned with. The intensity and combination of these determines it's value to other players. With UO: Mondain's Legend, some of these were raised, and are not accurately reflected anywhere but here on UOF!

Entries in yellow are linked to follow-on posts that discuss aspects in depth.

The normal limit on magic properties is 5. Most runic crafted items have 4 (but better chance of all high end intensity. Some Artifacts and wood enhanced items can exceed this.

The below list is the normal limits on intensity. Certain artifacts can and do exceed these.

Next to each heading is the common abbreviation used in game.

For a concise listing of item property, and intensity that may spawn, refer to the UO Playguide.

Mage Armor
Intensity Range: N/A
Found On: Armor
The Mage Armor property means that you will be able to meditate actively while wearing that piece of armor, even though it normally wouldn't allow you to do that. This of course also means that it doesn't slow down your passive regeneration rate.

Mage Weapon

A Mage Weapon will allow you to use your magery skill instead of the appropriate combat skill for that weapon. You will not be able to use the special moves on the weapon unless you have sufficient skill points in the right combat skill though.

A weapon with the Slayer property will do double damage against all creatures within a certain group.

Intensity Range: N/A
Found On: Weapons, Shields, Wands
Spell Channeling items allow you to cast magery spells even though you have a weapon or shield equipped.

The Spell Channeling property will always come with a Faster Casting -1 property, which means that if an item also spawns with Faster Casting 1, it will simply only show Spell Channeling because the two Faster Casting properties cancel each other out.

Found On: Jewelry, Spellbooks
Spell Damage Increase increases the amount of damage your spells inflict.
Spellbooks can only be crafted with a range of 1 - 9 Spell Damage Increase.

Use Best Weapon Skill means that instead of needing the appropriate weapon skill to wield the weapon effectively you can use any melee weapon skill and still get the best result.

Velocity
Intensity range:1-50? (needs to be verified with heartwood runic, anyone want to donate one for the cause?)
Found on: Runic crafted bows and M'arties
Additional to hit property akin to on hit lightning, but ALOT more damage (60-72 damage). Damage ranges are based on distance from the target (1-8 tiles). Farther away, more damage dealt. The % range is the chance for velocity to activate.

Since luck affects number of items, number of properties, and intensity of each property, it can be said that luck does in fact affect quality of loot. FoF submitted 16 August to clarify luck % effect on calculation.

AOS Luck Chart. This has changed some since the release of UOSE and UOML, but gives you a feel for the different categories.

My experiences with luck, and the pioneering work done by JC the Builder, and quite a few others on UOPowergamers shows that luck is indeed a factor. The sweet spot on the luck curve is about 800. At this point, you have a good chance of getting the *bump*, the suit is still affordable, and you can fit in resists.

Medable refers to the ability to use the meditation skill in certain armors. The below list is an inclusive list, with all expansion armors.

All jewelery, including necklaces and pendants ( ex, Luck Necklace and Pendant of the Magi) are medable.

Table 1

Table 2 shows DI % for items and EoO.

PVM: There is a 300% DI cap from Table 2 with a
sub-DI % cap from DI items which is 100%.

PVP: There is only the 100% DI cap from items. (Slayers and EoO do not work in PVP)

Table 2

Primer of Arms is consider a DI item when calculated DI %.
Lich Lord Killer 35% is an example DI talisman, in Table 2.

The max DI for PVM is 526.25% and for PVP is 326.25%.

To calculate the final damage (FD) done, first add the total DI % from Table 1 and Table 2, let's call this FDP (final damage percentage) then, you need to know the base damage (BD) of your weapon, and finally use this formula:

FD=BD+(BD*FDP)

Please take into consideration that this formula doesn't include the resists of your opponent.

Special thanks to uo.stratics for the formulas used.

This is a comprehensive cross link list. Too many people have spent too much time listing them on different sites for us to duplicate here. Items affected by recent changes will be reflected in this post, unless already updated on the source site.

Artifacts in UO are powerful items that can either be crafted, stolen, or recieved as loot for slaying bosses, or peerless.

There is another class of artifact called minor artifacts, or "Marties". These are powerful items found on paragon monsters in Ilshenar, on Leve 6 treasure chests, or Leviathans fished up by an Ancient fishing net.

UO: Mondain's Legacy (UOML) introduced even more "Marties", which have a chance to drop from ANY type of UO:ML monster, but are more commonly seen from named monsters and Peerless bosses.

UOML also introduced Community Collections. These give rewards that vary in strength, and some are exceedingly useful. Players turn in items specified by the Community Collector in order to receive a reward.

The Five on Friday (FoF) for 9 Mar answered several questions about SSI. Pulling all the various inputs together, we get the following facts.


NEW!!! Bendavho has created an excel spreadsheet calculator for swing speed. Thanks to Kitiara for the hosting! Click here to download the calculator. *DISCLAIMER* Practice safe surfing and ALWAYS virus scan before opening any document on the web!

SSI Formula
1. Figure out Weapon Base speed in ticks. Take whatever speed in seconds your weapon says on the tooltip and multiply that number by 4. If you are barehanded, you swing at the fastest weapon rate (10 ticks = 2.5 seconds). Example: The Halberd (4.25 second base speed) has a base speed of 17 ticks.
2. Figure out Stamina Ticks (Current Stamina / 30). Example: Current Stamina = 50. So Stamina Ticks rounded down = 1.
3. Figure out Swing Speed Increase modifier from equipment. Example: 20.

Here is the formula:
a. Hit Start = ((Base Weapon Speed - Stamina Ticks) * (100.0 / (100 + Swing Speed Increase)))
ex. Hit Start = ((17 - 1) * (100.0 / (100 + 20)))
c. Make sure minimum swing time is never less than 5 ticks (1.25 seconds).
ex. The calculated Halberd Hit Start speed = 13 ticks (3.25 seconds)

Mana Regen

UO Stuff Mana Regen Discussion

Passive Mana Regen: No cap on items (has lowered effect for each 1 MR. FoF Submitted 16 August for new formula due to Pub 67), 18 possible from Focus and Med, Bonus for high Int. Max possible MR per second is 3.9 mana per second(assuming 125 int, 120 focus, 120 med).

Active Mana Regen: 3.16 MR. Active Med was broke, fixed in Pub 67

Items : 24 possible (HOM +4, Runebeetle carapace +3, boomstick +3, Crystalline ring +3, pendant of magi +3, legs +2, Arms +2, gloves +2, Dark sapphire bracelet +2)] + Lich form (13) and Vamp form (4) bonuses apply as item bonus.
This list does not, and will not, include "EM" event items. I will not comment my thoughts on THAT.

Med: 12 (120 med) (1 MR for every 10 rounded down to nearest 10)

Focus: 6 (120 focus) (1 MR for every 20 focus, rounded down to nearest 20)

Necro bonus:
Lich form: 13 MR
OR
Vamp form: 4 MR
These are applied to your equipment bonus.

Intel bonus: CAP is 250. NOT the same as mana! Calculated ONLY when armor is entirely medable (leather or mage armor property) AND you have med skill = 3+INT.

MR value: EACH point of MR is converted to a MR rate of.1

Formulas for intel and med bonus:
For 99.9 med or less N = ((Meditation * 3) + Intelligence)
For GM med or above N = (((Meditation * 3) + Intelligence) * 1.1)

Formula for MR rate (med and int only, all other bonuses are additive)

Mana/second = Floor(N / 40) * 0.1 + 0.2 (0.2 mana/second is the mana regeneration rate everyone has regardless of any other considerations) (note: if you're wearing any meditation unfriendly armor, N = 0)

Slayer weapons (originally called virtue weapons by the players) were introduced unannounced Pre-AOS. They do double damage to the specificed type of monster.

Slayers do NOT work on players in PvP anymore, but DO work on players in shape shifted form. Players in another form will do extra damage (50%) to people using opposing slayers. See FOF 56

There are SUPER slayers and specific slayers. This list does not inlcude the slayer properties found on talismans. The below list is grouped by Super slayer, and the lower level slayers that fall under it.

There is a DOWNSIDE to using slayers. This is called "opposing slayer groups". Using an opposing slayer on a monster causes an increase in damage recieved (50%). Bards will have a decreased chance of success if using an opposed slayer instrument (using a repond slayer on a lich lord). The penalty will be assessed for using any of the slayer types under the group (using a troll slayer against lich lord is the same as repond against lich lord)


Slayer items can be crafted using a runic tool (fletcher, smith, carpenter) or by scribes on spellbooks. The most common is made by dull copper hammers. With the new arms lore changes, these crafted slayers can have up to 40% DI (35% GM bonus, 5% from GM arms lore).Mondains L

Talismans were introduced in UO:ML. The expansion aslo introduced a new equipment slot on the paperdoll to accomodate these new items. The can have up to 6 properties. They can be insured. Any talisman (even artifacts and community collections) can also spawn (rare)with the Owned by property. Owned by is a character specific bless (often called soul bound). Like a blessed item, it cannot be lost or stolen.

Picture courtest of Epona. Thank you for starting the original thread.



Where do I get them?
(gold font indicates a link to more information, either internal or external)
Talismans can be found in a variety of ways.

Peerless bosses(UOSTuff.com): All peerless have a chance to drop them

What properties can the non-artifacts have?

Crafting bonus: (FoF Sumbitted 26 jun for clarification of bonus formula, Answered 29 June) The bonuses are added directly to your displayed chance to craft or craft and exceptional item.
The crafting bonus comes in two forms.

%success: (1-30%)This increases your chance to succeed at crafting an item. You must be at a skill level that allows you to craft the item in order to recieve the bonus. Does not apply towards enhancement

Exceptional chance (1-30%) This increases your chance to craft an exceptional item. Some skills do not have exceptional items, so are NOT affected by this property (scrolls, potions, masronry, etc). This does not apply towards enhancement

NOTE: Skill gain and talismans (see FoF answer here). Talismans DO affect your chance to succeed / exceptional chance. Chance to gain is based on your chance to succeed (+/- 30 around chance to succeed / exceptional chance cap of 75%). Therefore, talismans can negatively impact your skill gains if you do not take this into account. If your talisman takes you over 75% chance of exceptional (the bonus is not displayed in the crafting menu), then you will not gain.
Overall, if you follow existing crafting skill guides, and use a talisman, you will experience a huge increase in the number of resources used to reach max skill. Personally verified with fletcher/bowyer.


Killer bonus (1-100%)
X% amount of additional damage to specific creature/monster type (unlike slayers, which can apply to multiple) (note: this is still limited to 300% DI, when using slayer weapons.Killer damage property DOES stack with slayer damage.)

Protection bonus (1-60%)
Specific creature/monster damage reduced by this amount. Stacks with your armor resists.

Slayer bonus

Will never spawn with the Killer bonus. Types are: Bovine, Bat, Beetle, Bird, Bear, Flame, Ice, Mage, & Vermin slayers : 100% additional damage to monsters. (Note only melee weapon damage and archery componded. Magic damage does not apply. Capped at 300% DI. Talisman slayer damage & weapon slayer damage do stack.
