**NEWS** BNN: Blackrock Detector to be Unveiled!

Merc · 28th March 2008, 08:41 AM

I heard that blackrock was spanwing in Ish but I forgot the karma thing and went in with my necro mage and died in a heart beat. So I am now heading back to the gate to get rezed

For that matter, where do you get the non-small blackrock? I've been gathering resources steadily since I returned to UO in Dec, and I've found nothing but smalls. Granted, I've got about 20 of them, but still...

I heard rumors that they are spawning in Ilshenar...any confirmation? Are they just showing up randomly on the ground?

Heard the same thing but not sure where they are spawning. But I know I need some.

Merc · 28th March 2008, 09:45 AM

This is what has changed so far.

They should be on the ground. But I've never found one. Too lazy to keep hitting ctrl-shift while I'm running around.

I'm there right now, nothing's happening yet.

vitriol

noun
1. (H2SO4) a highly corrosive acid made from sulfur dioxide; widely used in the chemical industry
2. abusive or venomous language used to express blame or censure or bitter deep-seated ill will

I'm guessing Kronos is a little bitter...

From the ultima V lore, I imagine we can expect the Shadowlord of Hatred to make an appearance, and the townspeople to start attacking players...

Speculation, but it fits the story as we know it.

Well, the oil of vitriol does burn you if you touch it. And the arcane circle works for a spell weaver focus. Using teleport, you can stand on the runes at the four corners, and even get into the water in the middle. I tried putting blackrock into the vitriol, but can't, and setting the blackrock on the arcane circle does nothing. I tried setting it in the water also, but there were other people around, and didn't want to lose it. I may try casting armageddon soon...

Update: By teleporting onto a rune, one can cast teleport again on the Spike in the center and be sent UNDER the machine. A barren pit, it would seem, atm... Interesting...

i should be back on in a hour, the boss is leaving early. I will provide another update then.

Arioch · 28th March 2008, 11:07 AM

A look inside the pit...

Magister_Returns · 28th March 2008, 11:23 AM

Splendid investigation and photo reconnaissance, my spies!

*head explodes with anticipation*

Inu has been hanging around the machine for about 20 minutes on LS... just babbling again. Getting lunch now, and will update when I return.
