good times... good times..
LOL Oh heck ya!

Again, I think insurance in Fel just simply shouldn't apply and would be a lot more fun and risky again...risk=fun for me ~ Hell! That's the answer to the skill based issue as well. No one will wear that cincture or those midnight bracers!

Whatever happened to that Skill Tier idea the Dev's had going? Too unpopular??

Re: Being a Thief?

Doing it that was leaves extra room for more skills

Do you remember the disarm thieves tho in UO: R?

You could be fighting someone with a weapon like a katana, kryss, etc.. that was rather good and disarm\steal it lol

So, it seems the uptodate thieves are for champ spawns mainly now.. and not as much as field thievs by gates etc..

80 Stealthing
100 Snooping
110 Stealing
90 Posion
115 Fencing

I am almost there and I can't not wait to get out and try my new skill.

That's an interesting template you have there...
So your using fence for the shadow strike and poison right?
Good getaway template that can also be deadly.

How are you going to use him tho? It looks like your going to be a field thief for 1v1 targeting. Do you think the insurance is going to ruin alot of your fun? Or are you going to steal regs, gold, pots, and things of that sort?

I'm not sure if this can still be done, but I remember you use to be able to steal commodity deeds, and sometimes you would find some nice finds where people have put a large stack of material into one.

p.s. Is there anyone on Great Lakes that could maybe show me some good locations for money and\or taming. Blue beetles seem to sell good 50k a pop is what i saw one guy selling them for.

Re: Being a Thief?

No sure how I am going to use my char. I am very new to being a thief. I will be posioning people. But I don't think I will be doing alot of so called 1vs1 or PvPing at first. When I learn my template then maybe so. If I snoop some one and see something interesting then a shunkien to the face. And watch the posion go through there body. Then DS and maybe another inflect with posion. And take what I want. But I will be going after the PS at champ spawns.

But then you never know. I might turn him into a serial killer hehehe. So I have been thinking about maybe RP with this char. I just need to find some RP guilds on the Atlantic

Re: Being a Thief?

I've always wanted to get into RP, but have never gotten around to it.

Is this profession still used?

If so what all do people use it to do? Besides some of the artifacts like Inq. Gloves.?
Just having one makes you feel warm all over.
