Peeps mabey you can help me i am having alot of trouble working up my anatomy and taming and suggestions my anatomy is 55 and my taming is 35 also what exactly is anatomy for and is it good for a paladin.thanks all

Anatomy is good for healing with bandages and fighting witha weapon. Only way to gain anatomy is fight or heal your wounds with bandages.

Taming is hard to gain. Someone else might be able to comment on that. Its a while since I've worked taming.

thanks for the insight so far

If you plan to use the healing skill then anatomy is essential. To gain you should fight lower level monsters and heal yourself constantly. Maybe you could surround yourself with Lizardmen in despise for a bit.

As far as taming is concerned I don't know. I've never worked a tamer.

so when you say healing skill when im damaged go to skill then healing not the healing in the book of chivelry

It's completely up to you.

I'm not sure what template you envision for you character. There certainly are good characters whose only means of healing are through chivlary spells. I personally like to use bandages (healing skill and anatomy required) and use chivalry spell to supplement.

thanks im just still all new to this so looks like i am going to but some bandages to heal and increase my skill thanks all

Using "close wounds" will not raise anat or healing. You have to use a band aid for that.

Now for taming check out this thread .

Taming is/was one of the most boring/toughest skills to gain. Good Luck

I always tried to pick tameables that were somewhere in numbers and easy to tame. At low levels polar bears on ice. If my skill was too low then i'd bump it up a little, once it raised then take off jewels and stick with polar bears until I couldn't any longer, etc.. Gamans are also great in the mid 80s for this same plan. The less time you spend searching the more time you spend taming the better.

If the perfect thing for you to tame % wise is an imp but you have such a difficult time taming them and you spend more time healing and running than taming then find something easier to find/tame by moving your skill around with jewels.

If this is your first character, or you are inexperienced at playing UO, it's best to make your Paladin a pure warrior type, not a hybrid warrior/tamer. Taming is extremely slow to raise, and the fighting skills can be best used by themselves.

A typical Paladin has:

100 weapons skill (swords, macing, fencing)
100 Chivalry
100 Healing
100 Anatomy
100 Tactics
100 Parry
100 Magic Resist


Battle with Deathwatch Beetles and Dethwatch Beetle Hatchlings in the Waste of Makoto-Jima (Tokuno Islands) until you're in the upper 60's in your skills, then switch to Ettins and Earth Elementals in Despise, and finish off with Solen Infiltrators in the Wind Maze.

You'll end up with a powerful warrior who can make money easily and can go nearly anywhere in game.
