Message in a Bottle

2013-04-26T02:09:23Z

Tancred RedStar: Removed link to Nystul's Fishing Guide as it no longer worked

{{tocright}}

On occasion, a lucky [[Fishing|Fisher]] or [[Aquarium]]-owner will discover a '''Message in a Bottle'''. Looking inside will reveal either a [[File:Waterstained_sos.png]] '''A Waterstained SOS''' or, on a 1 in 25 chance, [[File:Ancient_sos.png]] '''An Ancient SOS'''.

Travelling to the location the message specifies gives you the chance to attempt to fish a chest up from the ocean floor, though at least 65.0 skill points in Fishing are required for a chance of succeeding.

==Pre-chest Loot==
While attempting to bring up the chest, you may on occasion bring up other bits of random items with the special tag '''Recovered from a Shipwreck'''. Such articles include:

Scroll of Valiant Commendation

2013-03-16T15:42:42Z

Tancred RedStar: editting of backstory and replica

__NOTOC__{{Infobox item
| name=Scroll of Valiant Commendation
| image=Scroll_of_valiant_commendation.png
| weight=1
| text=Double Click to Permanently Gain +5 to Your Maximum Stats
}}

A '''Scroll of Valiant Commendation''' was awarded to some players participating in the destruction of [[Exodus]] during the [[Call To Arms]] event. When used, it confers a +5 [[stat]] cap increase.

===Distribution===
It was first distributed as a random drop in a pool of damage dealers for doing sufficient damage to Exodus during the finale of the Call To Arms event. The exact number awarded per event is uncertain but probably ranges from 15-30. The event itself is considered epic in nature as it kills off a major character from Ultima lore and is run only once per shard June 22 - 25, 2012. The time and date for the running of the event on each shard was publicized on the Ultima Online website via a [http://www.uoherald.com/node/625 published schedule]

====Replica====
{{Infobox item
| name=Scroll of Valiant Commendation [Replica]
| image=Scroll_of_valiant_commendation replica.png
| weight=1
| text=Double Click to Permanently Gain +5 to Your Maximum Stats
}}
After much outcry of missed opportunities and limited distribution, a Replica version of the scroll was introduced in the newly created [[The Exodus Encounter|Exodus Encounter]]. This version does not change its description to the one original version has and only adds a "Claimed By" item property after the scroll has been used.

===Usage===
Double-clicking the scroll adds five points to the character's stat cap. The scroll may be [[insured]] upon receiving and is neither [[blessed]] nor [[cursed]]. This is a bit unusual for such powerful consumable items as most player award items are blessed and power scrolls cursed. The scroll is not believed to be character-bound prior to usage. However, once used the item description changes from usage instructions to a personalized keepsake.

Ethereal Void

2012-09-03T21:02:29Z

Tancred RedStar:

The '''Ethereal Void''' is a place within the fiction of [[Ultima Online]]. It seems to be similar to the ''Astral Plane'' seen in Dungeons and Dragons, in that it is similar to outer space, but has breathable air.

It has been seen in the single-player [[Ultima Prime|Ultima]] games, but was not been seen in [[Ultima Online]] until the [[Mad Mage]] event (see next paragraph for an important qualification), when the [[Blackrock Detector]] created a mirror image of [[Moonglow]] in it, within which monsters were found, and from which the [[Shadowlords]] escaped into Britannia.

Though the Void wasn't specifically referred to at the time, in retrospect there's a good chance that the [[Void Shadow Dungeon]] was located there, as was a strange area that could be reached via the [[Magincia]] [[Moongate]] after the conclusion of the [[Magincia Invasion]] event (except on shards, such as [[Siege Perilous]], that lost the event).

Despite their physical similarities, there is no indication (as of Summer 2008) that the Ethereal Void is the same as the Sea of Stars that surrounds the continents of [[Malas]].

[[Lord British]] is said to have taken a powerful artifact to the Void to guard it against [[Minax]].

Fishing Village

2012-07-08T02:18:50Z

Tancred RedStar: Added healer mention

The Fishing Village is a location in the [[Ter Mur]] [[Facet]]. It is pretty much what it sounds like, and was not terribly noteworthy or exceptional until Act V of the [[The Awakening]] Scenario. At that point it became a quarantine area by order of [[Queen Zhah]] for a new plague that was unwittingly brought to Ter Mur by refugees from [[Ver Lor Reg]], the [[Gargoyle]] [[City]] in [[Ilshenar]]. An aptly-named [[The Mysterious Healer]] appeared outside a laboratory in the Fishing Village, offering books on instructions on how to create cures for the disease as part of a quest.

The Mysterious Healer

2012-07-08T02:16:36Z

Tancred RedStar: Created.

[[Image:The_mysterious_healer.jpg|frame|right]]
The Mysterious Healer is a hooded quest NPC found at the [[Fishing Village]] at the northern end of [[Ter Mur]], which has been set up as a quarantine area for infected gargoyles.

When double-clicked, he gives out a pair of books, '''A Plea For Help''' and '''Laboratory Instructions''' as part of the [[A Plea For Help]] quest. The books explain what items to gather to create a [[Cure For The Great Gargish Blight]] as well as how to use the lab equipment, a sort of puzzle game to produce dosages of the cure.

Cures can be turned into the hooded figure to assist with saving infected gargoyles who will literally die right and left.

Raw Yeast

2012-07-08T02:02:29Z

Tancred RedStar: Created.

[[File:Raw_yeast.png]] '''Raw Yeast''' is a quest item for the [[A Plea For Help]] quest and can be found as loot items on [[Orc]]s. When combined with other needed items for the quest, a cure dosage can be produced in the laboratory at the [[Fishing Village]] in [[Ter Mur]]. This cure can then be turned in to [[The Mysterious Healer]] to assist with saving the infected gargoyles as part of Act V of the [[The Awakening]] scenario.

Raw yeast does not stack and, unlike normal [[Yeast]], cannot be used in [[Distillation]] for ales and spirits.

Orc monster

2012-07-07T17:21:34Z

Tancred RedStar: Added Yeast and Raw Yeast as special loot drops

[[File:Orckr.png|frame]]

Orcs are the oldest and fiercest foes of humanity, but these days have been largely driven into Underground refuges. They have a face somewhat like a pig and a muscular, man-like body. It has long been said that they eat the flesh of man, but I believe they harass man for his gold, not for his meat. They are a cruel and rapacious lot, and the surface is better for their absence, but there are those who say that we may expect a great resurgence of orcish aggression in the near future.

You will see Orcs with hundreds of different names. Here are but a few examples: Ewkbanok, Fagdud, Faghig, Fandagh, Farfu, Farghed, Fargigoth, Farod, Faugh, Feldgulg, Fidgug, Filge, Fodagog, Fogugh, Fozhug, Frikug, Frug, Frukag, Fubdagog, Fudhagh, Fupgugh, Furbog, Futgarek, Sakgu, Salthu, Saraugug, Sarfu, Sargulg, Sarhbub, Sarod, Sbghat, Seakgu, Sguk

City Trade Minister

2012-07-04T03:11:33Z

Tancred RedStar: Cleared up Value of Donation section after speaking to Mesanna tonight, there is no benefit to donating rarer types of resources(i.e. wood vs bloodwood)

[[Image:City_trade_minister.jpg|right]]
''Work in progress''
==Overview==
Introduced with [[Publish 77]], City Trade Ministers accept a variety of basic resources from players to assist in rebuilding their representative city and providing for the citizenry as part of [[The Awakening]] epic story arc. City Trade Ministers will accept goods across a variety of professions including, Lumberjacks, Miners, Hunters, Cooks, Fisherman, Archers, Alchemists, Tamers and Herders. Donated items and animals earn characters loyalty points with the city they are donated in and can be used to claim rewards such as various titles and [[City Banner]]s.

Trade Ministers can be found on the docks of the participating cities, with the exception of "Great Oak Vessels" for Yew and the Stables in Minoc as those cities lack docks.

==Greeting==
Double-clicking the City Trade Minister NPC will display a window explaining donations:

''Greetings and Salutations! I am overjoyed thou hath seen fit to donate to the City! Surely they good deed shall be worthy of praise!''
''We have need for resources and wares from a variety of professions! From Lumberjacks and Miners we require boards and ingots to rebuild our homes. From Hunters we require hides and cut leather to fashion goods and also cuts of rubs to feed the hungry. Cooks are in need to baked bread, while any citizen wouldst nay turn away a Fisherman's fresh catch of Crab and Lobster, or would even find fish steaks! Our archers are in need of tools for their trade, and so the Bowyer can provide Bows and Crossbows. Our citizens are always in need of healing, restorative, and sometimes devastating salves, and so we call upon Alchemists to donate simple potions. Finally our soldiers, ranchers, and farmers are in need of all manner of beasts. Hitch any dogs, cats, cows, goats, horses, sheep, pigs, or chickens to the post here and we will most certainly be appreciative!''

==Donations==
Donating items or animals in a city increases loyalty points for the character with that city.

===Animals===
The hitching post next to the trade minister will accept dogs, cats, cows, goats, horses, sheep, pigs and chickens. To donate the animal, double-click the hitching post and target the creature. A confirmation window will appear to verify your intent. Animals that have been [[Herding|herded]], but not tamed, may be donated, so beware of stealthers.

===Items===
For convenience, items may either be placed singly onto the donation crate or with other items in a container. When donating a container holding items, a confirmation gump will appear displaying the quantities of each of item by type. Make sure to check the listing as all donations are final.

The following items can be donated:
*Boards
*Ingots
*Hides
*Cut Leather
*Ribs - [[Image:Cut_of_raw_ribs.png]][[Cut of Raw Ribs]], NOT cooked [[Image:Cut_of_ribs.png]][[Cut of Ribs]]
*Baked Bread - [[Image:Bread_loaf.png‎]] but NOT [[Image:Bread_loaf_crumbed.png]]
*Fish Steaks - [[Image:Raw_fish_steak.png]][[Raw Fish Steak]]s, NOT cooked [[Image:Fish_steak.png]][[Fish Steak]]s
*Crabs
*Lobsters
*Simple Potions - stacked potions accepted, but cannot be donated in a potion keg
*Bows
*Crossbows

'''Note:''' Items that are not accepted when donating a container holding items will remain in the container in the character's backpack.
===Value of Donations===
The donation crate will accept different varieties of a type of item, although there is no benefit to donating rarer or higher-value types.

For example, while the donation crate will accept any type of cut leather, no differentiation is made when donating Barbed leather or Spined leather despite Barbed leather being worth more.

This is especially evident when donating items together in a container, ten pieces of two different types of leather would simply display as twenty pieces of cut leather in the donation confirmation window.

It is also not apparent if different types of animals confer different amounts of loyalty points.

The Awakening

2012-07-01T16:14:17Z

Tancred RedStar: June -> July in header section

{{Event}}
{{tocright}}

'''The Awakening''' is a story arc that began early in 2012, and is still ongoing as of the time of writing (July 2012). Broadly speaking, this story arc revolved around the political, social, and economic situation in [[Britannia]] deteriorating due in large part to lack of leadership from the central government, and foes of Britannia (so far, most notably [[Exodus]]) taking advantage of that situation.

The specifics of this story arc differed somewhat [[shard]] to [[shard]], due to [[Event Moderator]] input, thus attempting to satisfy Ultima Online players' long-standing like of shard-specific content and peculiarities.

==Act I==
This chapter introduced the deteriorating social, political, and economic situation in [[Britannia]]. It started with [[Publish 74]] and it is based on the riots that began across [[Britannia]], specifically in the [[cities]]:

{| width="50%"
|
* [[Britain]]
* [[Jhelom]]
* [[Minoc]]
|
* [[Moonglow]]
* [[New Magincia]]
* [[Skara Brae]]
|
* [[Trinsic]]
* [[Vesper]]
* [[Yew]]
|}

In each of these cities (with the exception of [[Moonglow]]), you will find [http://lofs.uorpc.net/wiki/index.php?title=Civil_Unrest a journal] of one of the citizens describing the situation. You will also find a '''Guard Captain''' stationed on the city center who seeks help against the rioters:

[[File:Guard captain of vesper.jpg|frame|'''Guard Captain''' of [[Vesper]] near a '''Box of Ropes'''.]]

: ''"The citizenry of [[Britannia]] are beginning a rebellion, and we must do what we can to maintain order.''

: ''Many of our poorer brothers and sisters are protesting, because they cannot earn a living in these hard times. Gifts of [[Gold|money]], [[food]], and [[clothing]] would go far to ease their fears.''

: ''Some of our citizens have begun to riot. They have crossed the line and are causing destruction! There are too many of them for the city guard to handle. Please, take this [[File:Guardmans rope.png|link=Guardman's Rope]] [[Guardman's Rope|rope]] and use it to arrest the rioters, and return them here.''

: ''The rioters are starting fires and leaving trails of destruction behind them. We desperately need your help putting out the fires. Also, cleaning up the garbage would certainly be appreciated. (To put out a fire or clean up garbage, double-click it.)''

: ''Groups of raiders from other cities have been infiltrating our city and attacking innocent citizens! These vagabonds must be stopped. Use [[Spells|spell]] and [[Weapons|steel]], or set your [[dragon]]s loose on them if need be.''

: ''Slay the raiders if you must. However, you may attempt to subdue and arrest them. If you do so, they must be returned to their home city. Our jails are overflowing!''

: ''Our coffers are empty. The city cannot offer you any reward other than our thanks. Word of your deeds will spread.''

: ''Be wary, though. [[Britannia]]ns are turning against each other. '''If you try to lend a hand to everyone, all may end up hating you.''' Right now, your loyalty means as much as your assistance!"''

[[File:Angry rioter vesper.jpg|frame|An '''Angry Rioter''' in [[Vesper]].]]

|}

As the last sentence suggests, you should only help a single [[city]] of your choice since helping more than one [[city]] will make your loyalty decrease on other [[cities]]. A [[File:Guardmans rope.png|link=Guardman's Rope]] [[Guardman's Rope]] will drop into your backpack upon double-clicking on the chest '''Box of Rope''' which can be found near the '''Guard Captain'''.

: ''You take a rope from the chest. Use it to arrest rioters and subdued raiders.''

[[File:Raiders in vesper.jpg|frame|'''Raiders''' in [[Vesper]].]]

Note that the rope has a lifespan of 60 minutes or 3,600 seconds but you can take another rope from the chest even before the time expires. Rioters can be found inside the city, along with flames and garbage. Flames can be put out and the garbage can be cleaned by simply double-clicking on them:

: ''"... clear a pile of garbage" "... puts out a fire"'''

[[Criminal]] '''Angry Rioters''' can be arrested by using the [[File:Guardmans rope.png|link=Guardman's Rope]] [[Guardman's Rope]]. Returning the rioter to the Guard Captain will make your loyalty towards the city to increase:

: ''"Thank you for your assistance during these difficult times."''

You can calm the [[innocent]] '''Angry Protestors''' by giving them [[Gold]] or [[Food]].

From time to time, groups of 25 '''Raiders''' will attack a city. You can either subdue and arrest them or kill them. If arrested, they must be returned to their home city.

===City Titles===
You can declare citizenship for a city (which will grant you the title ''Citizen'') from the ''Rewards'' section of the Titles Menu which can be accessed from your characters context menu. You can receive further titles for that city if you have:
# the required minimum loyalty rating for the title.
# enough funds in your bank-box to donate for the title.

You can only declare citizenship in a single city and you can renounce your citizenship at any time. However, you need to wait a week before declaring citizenship for another city again.

==Act II==
[[File:Harlann's trail of blood.jpg|thumb|'''The trail of blood leading to [[Ver Lor Reg]].''']]

This chapter introduced the potential for a threat to [[Britannia]] to emerge from [[Ilshenar]]. Some of the groundwork had already been lain by [[Event Moderator]]s on some [[Shard]]s. It started on March 1st (April 1st on [[Siege Perilous]]) with the fiction [[BNN: The Awakening - Act II|The Awakening - Act II]]. Unlike the other quests which you can see the progress and details from the quest gump or the quest log, it follows classic keyword style.

===The Trail of Blood===
The quest starts at the blocked passageway to the [[Exodus Dungeon]]. You will notice a trail of blood. You should follow it into the Gargoyle city of [[Ver Lor Reg]].

* You can reach the blocked passageway from the [[Honor#Moongate|Honor moongate]] in [[Ilshenar]] using the tunnel at 84º N, 43º W. From there go to the pass between the desert and the Exodus Dungeon.

* An easier way to reach there was to use a [[Crystal Portal]] and speak "''Ilshenar Mint''" which teleported the players to the bank in [[Ver Lor Reg]]. As of [[Publish 76]], [[Crystal Portal]] teleports players to the gypsy camp south of the [[Compassion]] Moongate

[[File:Shirron.jpg|thumb|'''Shirron Argahrok waiting inside the Healer's Shop in [[Ver Lor Reg]].''']]
===Shirron Argahrok===

The trail of blood eventually leads to the unconscious Waymaster Harlann and a Shirron of the [[Juka]], Argahrok. They can be found inside the '''Healer's Shop: In-Mani-Lem''' in [[Ver Lor Reg]]. Argahrok responds to specific keywords:

* '''Greetings''': ''I am Shirron Argahrok, and I greet you with Respect and Honor, adventurer. I wonder can you help?''
* '''Help''': ''My faithful Waymaster, Harlann, has been severely injured during the catastrophe that befell us.''
* '''Catastrophe''': ''I am unsure its cause, but many of our people died. Our nightmares became reality.''
* '''Injured''': ''With my people scattered, I have nobody to face the dangers necessary for the cure she needs.''
* '''Cure''': ''The cure can only be made with certain ingredients... one is found in Blood Dungeon.''
* '''[[Blood Dungeon]]''': ''There is a creature in its depths known as a [[Purifying Blood Elemental|purifying blood elemental]]... its blood is key.''
* '''Creature''': ''If you can help by bringing a sample of the purified blood from them, I'll reward you.''
* '''Reward''': ''I can show you the ways of climbing and give you equipment to scale the mountain.''
* '''Mountain''': ''I do not know what lies there after the catastrophe... but there must be something left.''

You need to kill a [[Purifying Blood Elemental]] in [[Blood Dungeon]] to get [[File:Samples_of_purified_blood.png|link=Samples of Purified Blood]] [[Samples of Purified Blood]]. When you obtained it, return to the Shirron and give him the blood:

: ''This will aid greatly. As promised seek the famous mountain climber. Tell him the Shirron sent you.''

[[File:Carl the mountain climber.jpg|thumb|'''Carl the Mountain Climber at the Gypsy Camp.''']]
===Carl the Mountain Climber===

The famous mountain climber Shirron talks about is '''Carl the Mountain Climber'''. He can be found at the '''Gypsy Camp''' south of [[Compassion#Moongate|Compassion Moongate]]. He responds to specific keywords:

* '''Greetings''': ''Did you hear that? I don't know what happened but the blasted mountain nearly collapsed.''
* '''The Shirron sent me''': ''Let me know when you are ready to learn. I am sure the Loremasters await an answer.''
* '''Loremaster''': ''I am sure whatever you find over there would be of interest to the [[Juka]] and [[Meer]].''
* '''Juka''': ''The Jukan Loremasters can be found near [[Mistas]].''
* '''Meer''': ''The Meer Loremasters can be found near [[Lakeshire]].''
* '''I'm ready''': ''Let me show you how this is done... a real natural! There is some equipment by the mountain to use.''

You will notice a '''climbing equipment''' near the mountain side. After you talk to him, say '''''climb''''' at the rocks right behind him. This transports you over the mountain next to the ruins of Lord Blackthorn's castle.

===Grave Robbers===

If you'll notice, not only is [[Castle Blackthorn|Lord Blackthorn's castle]] gone, so are the [[Meer Catacombs]]. The grave robbers have pilfered from both, and have on their corpses various Jukan and Meer heirlooms:

{|

Note that all of the heirlooms have the [[Lifespan]] property set to 86,400 seconds (24 hours) and they will disappear once the countdown timer has elapsed. The Grave Robbers have a lot of hit points and they also reflect half of the damage dealt every time you hit them.

===Loremasters===

You should take the heirlooms you recovered from the Grave Robbers to the Jukan and Meer Loremasters. Note that gaining Loyalty for the Meer does not diminish your Loyalty for the Juka, and vice versa. You can also read the [http://lofs.uorpc.net/wiki/index.php?title=The_Awakening,_Act_II:_Ilshenar books] written by other Loremasters and elders about the Jukan and Meer traditions while visiting [[Lakeshire]] and [[Mistas]].

====Adair the Loremaster====
The Meer Loremaster Adair can be found in [[Lakeshire]], north of the [[Sacrifice#Moongate|Sacrifice moongate]] in [[Ilshenar]]. He responds to specific keywords:

* '''Greetings''': ''Greetings traveler, these are most uncertain times for the Meer.''
* '''Uncertain times''': ''In an instant, our people all had the same nightmare, a great war with the Juka.''
* '''Great war''': ''Our forest was burned to the ground, many of our brothers and sisters died.''
* '''Forest''': ''I had a vision of a forest on the other side of the mountain. Many of our Heirlooms were lost.''
* '''Heirlooms''': ''I fear they may be lost forever. Should find any and return them I shall reward thee.''
* '''Reward''': ''Place them in the storage chest. Prove your loyalty and you can claim a token of your devotion.''

[[File:Adair the loremaster.jpg|thumb|center]]

Take the Meer heirlooms to '''Adair the Loremaster''' and put them in the chest next to him marked ''"Heirlooms"''. Put the Meer heirlooms in here to garner 50 Meer Loyalty for each. You can purchase a [[File:Meer_mage_statuette.png|link=Meer Mage Statuette]] [[Meer Mage Statuette]] for 5,000 Loyalty points and a [[File:Meer_warrior_statuette.png|link=Meer Warrior Statuette]] [[Meer Warrior Statuette]] for 10,000 Loyalty points.

====Erksine the Loremaster====
The Jukan Loremaster Erksine can be found inside the guard hall outside the gates to [[Mistas]] (easiest to get here from the [[Honesty#Moongate|Honesty moongate]]). It's the left turn on the bridge across the moat on the way in. He responds to specific keywords:

* '''Greetings''': ''I am the Juka Loremaster and I greet you with Respect and Honor.''
* '''Loremaster''': ''These are most uncertain times for the Juka.''
* '''Uncertain times''': ''In an instant, our people all had the same nightmare, a great war with the Meer.''
* '''Great war''': ''Our fortress was destroyed, where it once stood is now a crater.''
* '''Fortress''': ''There was a great flash and the ground shook. In an instant all our Heirlooms were destroyed.''
* '''Heirlooms''': ''Should find any and return them I shall reward thee.''
* '''Reward''': ''Place them in the storage chest. Prove your loyalty and you can claim a token of your devotion.''

[[File:Erksine the loremaster.jpg|thumb|center]]

Take the Jukan heirlooms to '''Erksine the Loremaster''' and put them in the chest next to him marked ''"Heirlooms"''. Put the Jukan heirlooms in here to garner 50 Juka Loyalty for each. You can purchase a [[File:Juka_mage_statuette.png|link=Juka Mage Statuette]] [[Juka Mage Statuette]] for 5,000 Loyalty points and a [[File:Juka_warrior_statuette.png|link=Juka Warrior Statuette]] [[Juka Warrior Statuette]] for 10,000 Loyalty points.

==Act III==
This chapter brought the role of [[Exodus]] into sharper focus. It started on April 10th with the fiction [[BNN: The Awakening - Act III|The Awakening - Act III]]. Like the previous act, it follows classic keyword style.

===Slim the Fence===
[[File:Slim the fence.jpg|thumb|'''Slim the Fence''' standing in front of '''A Box of Loot Recovered from Castle Blackthorn''']]
'''Slim the Fence''' can be found in the basement of '''The Salty Dog''' tavern in east [[Britain]], inside a side room with a locked crate labeled '''A Box of Loot Recovered from Castle Blackthorn'''. He responds to specific keywords:

* '''Greetings''': '''Alloa 'Allia, what 'ave we 'ere? Wha' ken ol' Slim do fer ya?''
* '''Slim''': ''Tha' be ma name, it be. Ya ain' no bleedin' guard, are ya?''
* '''No''': ''Good, Good---Ya buyin' or sellin' then? 'fraid I ain' lookin' fer much, but got plen'y''
* '''Selling''': ''Well, if ya wantin' ta sell, it better be summin' worth ma while, laddie, an' Ah don' see nuthin''
* '''Buying''': ''Now ya talkin', but talkin's easy---an' free. Tell ya wot tho'---listen close, aye?''

* '''Deal''': ''Well, lad, it'll lead ya ta where ya wan' ta go---but ya got ta pay. *rubs hands together*''

Dropping a single [[File:Gold coins.png|link=Gold]] [[Gold|gold piece]] on '''Slim''' will unlock the crate:

: "''Grammercy, grammercy... Maps in tha box by tha back wall. Ya follow it...''"
* '''Follow''': ''*grins crookedly* Follow it an ya migh' jus' come out richer'n when ya first came 'ere.''

Opening the crate will drop [[File:Map.gif|link=]] ''A Plainly Drawn Treasure Map'' into your backpack with a [[lifespan]] of 60 seconds, pointing to the northwest corner of [[Ver Lor Reg]].

===Ver Lor Reg===
[[File:Hole in Ver Lor Reg.jpg|thumb|A '''Rope''' across to a large, black hole in the mountain side of '''[[Ver Lor Reg]].''']]

You should find the location on the map in the Gargoyle city of [[Ver Lor Reg]].
* You can reach [[Ver Lor Reg]] by using the [[Honor#Moongate|Honor moongate]] in [[Ilshenar]] and entering the tunnel at 84º N, 43º W.

You will notice that there are [[Exodus Overseer]]s spawning just inside the city. Go to the blacksmith shop '''Agra-Char-In-Lem''' located in the northwest corner of the city and climb the stairs in the northwest corner inside, up to the roof. You will see a [[File:Rope.png|link=Rope]] rope across to a large, black hole in the mountain a few tiles to the southwest. Use the rope to enter the [[Exodus Dungeon]].

===Exodus Dungeon===
[[File:Journal and the machine in exodus dungeon.jpg|thumb|A journal next to a '''Keypunch Reader''' inside the [[Exodus Dungeon]].]]

The first thing you will see inside is a bizarre machine with a ''Cracked Viewing Crystal'' surrounded by ''Shattered Glass'', and covered in ''Spattered Coolant''. Next to it is a set of tinker's tools marked ''Callie's Toolkit'' next to a pile of bones with a book titled [[File:Gargish document - on the void.png|link=]] [http://lofs.uorpc.net/wiki/index.php?title=The_Awakening,_Act_III:_A_Journal A Journal]:
: ''Its been what seems like weeks since I have seen daylight. I can no longer stand the isolation of this dark place, but my work here is paramount. If what the fence says is true, there are untold riches to be uncovered from the machines with this mechanical citadel. My time has not been without peril, as I dodge attack daily from all manner of mechanical beast. I think though, I may have made a breakthrough! These bizarre tripods seem to be in a state of disrepair. I was able to fashion some tools from the corpse of one of the metallic behemoths. Luck would have it these instruments allowed me to interact with these strange tripods! Upon further examination it seems the intricacy of the circuitry varies but the outcome is always the same - when the correct circuit is connected the machine whirs to life and a small card is ejected. For days I pondered the use of such an item until I discovered a likely recipient for such a thing. I began feeding cards into the receiver, but to no avail, '''until without warning, I fed a card into the machine as I'd done previously and it came to life!''' What I am to do with the result of such a task is yet unclear, but it would seem...*the rest of the journal has rotted away*''

[[File:Nexus plain.jpg|thumb|'''Left:''' An inactive '''Nexus''' inside the [[Exodus Dungeon]]. '''Right:''' A reward '''Nexus''' placed inside a house.]]

You should kill [[Exodus Minion]]s for a chance to receive a [[File:Mechanical component.png|link=Mechanical Component]] [[Mechanical Component]] which can be used to make an [[File:Exotic Toolkit.png|link=Exotic Toolkit]] [[Exotic Toolkit]] by [[Tinkering|Tinkers]] who have 80.0 or more skill points in [[Tinkering]]. Note that the [[Mechanical Component]] has a [[lifespan]] of three days while the [[Exotic Toolkit]] has a [[lifespan]] of a week.

An [[Exotic Toolkit]] can be used on one of the large fixtures in between the rooms of the dungeon called a '''Nexus'''. This opens up a jewel-based puzzle mini-game which is nearly identical to those found in the [[Experimental_Room#The_First_Two_Puzzles|Puzzle Room]] in the [[Underworld]]. Once the puzzle is solved, a random hued [[File:Punch card.png|link=]] '''Punch Card''' will drop on your backpack along with the message:
: ''You repair the mysterious Nexus! As it whirs to life, it spits out a punch card.''
: ''Beep! Bop! Boop!''

You need to feed a total of '''50''' '''Punch Cards''' into the [[File:Keypunch reader.png|link=]] '''Keypunch Reader''' that is located near the journal to receive a [[File:Deed.png|link=]] [[Nexus Deed]]:

: ''As you feed the punch card into the machine it turns on!''

==Act IV==
This chapter enabled players to collect pieces of the long-lost history of [[Ilshenar]]. It started on April 30th with the fiction [[BNN: The Awakening - Act IV|The Awakening - Act IV]] and it is based on the catastrophe in [[The_Awakening#Act II|Act II]].

===Alec the Provisioner===
[[File:Alec the provisoner.jpg|thumb|'''Alec the Provisioner''' standing near the entrance of [[Ver Lor Reg]].]]
'''Alec the Provisioner''' (or a provisioner with a different name) can be found standing near the entrance of [[Ver Lor Reg]] in [[Ilshenar]]:

: ''"Greetings Traveler! It is fine provisions you seek? Then look no further!''

: ''For the modest fee of 1000 gold I will provide you with usable sifting tray!''

: ''This sifting tray will no doubt allow you to uncover untold riches in the shifting sands of this desert!''

: ''Before you get too excited you should know these sands can be treacherous and sifting should be done with care!''

: ''Of most valuable interest are the antiquity fragments settled here from the recent catastrophe that befell the Juka and Meer. You'd be wise to search only in this area, as it is where most of the debris is concentrated. Happy Hunting!''

===Sifting===
Dropping 1,000 [[File:Gold coins.png|link=Gold]] [[Gold|gold pieces]] on '''Alec''' will drop [[File:A sifting tray.png|link=A Sifting Tray]] [[A Sifting Tray]] on your backpack with 41 - 46 uses and you can also get more than one [[A Sifting Tray|Sifting Tray]] at a time. Use it on the desert around the entrance to discover [[File:Antiquity fragment.png|link=Antiquity Fragment]] [[Antiquity Fragment]]s:

:''*shake shake shake*''

:''"You sift for a while and discover an antiquity fragment!"''

[[File:Desert bloodworm.jpg|thumb|A desert [[bloodworm]]: '''''"You sift for a while and disturb the underground lair of a sleeping creature!"'''''.]]
Note that you cant sift while mounted, [[Hiding|hidden]], [[flying]], in [[Animal Form|animal form]] or fighting. Also, while sifting there is a chance to disturb an underground lair of a sleeping creature: '''A Desert''' [[Scorpion]], [[Rotworm]] or [[Bloodworm]]. They can also spawn in [[Paragon]] form. According to [[User:Crowen|Crowen]], there is 1 in 3 chance to disturb a random creature while about 1 in 20 to 40 chance to recover an [[Antiquity Fragment]].

[[Antiquity Fragment]]s can be combined just like the [[ore]] pieces. You need to '''combine 10''' [[Antiquity Fragment]]s to get a random heirloom, the same heirlooms recovered from ''Grave Robbers'' in [[The_Awakening#Act II|Act II]] but '''without the''' [[lifespan]] property:

==Act V==
[[File:Dupre_call_to_arms.png|thumb|Lord [[Dupre]] addressing the crowd before the siege of [[Ver Lor Reg]].]]
During this act, [[Ver Lor Reg]] was first attacked and then fully re-occupied by [[Exodus]], who had held it many years ago. The [[Call to Arms]] event for this act is run only once per [[shard]] between June 22 - 25, 2012. The time and date for the running of the event on each shard was publicized on the Ultima Online website via a [http://www.uoherald.com/node/625 published schedule].

A mysterious plague began to appear in [[Ter Mur]] among the [[Gargoyles]] there, following the retreat of the Ver Lor Reg Gargoyles into Ter Mur to escape the oncoming Exodus onslaught. Official fiction (''[[BNN: The Awakening - Act V]]'') posted on June 11, 2012 indicated that the plague was carried to Ter Mur by the Ver Lor Reg gargoyles; the latter were immune to it, the former unfortunately was not. The plague carriers were isolated by [[Queen Zhah]] in the [[Fishing Village]] northwest of the [[Royal City]].

===Call to Arms===
:''Main article: [[Call To Arms]]''
Ver Lor Reg was then was re-rescued by the players led by [[Dupre]] during the [[Call to Arms]] event. Exodus, after over ten years of being a mysterious villain at the fringes of the game, finally was killed. [[Scroll of Valiant Commendation|Scrolls of Valiant Commendation]] were awarded to some players participating in the destruction of [[Exodus]] during the event.

This act concluded with the mysterious and worrying fracturing of the Honor [[Moongate]] in [[Ilshenar]] following the defeat of Exodus and the discovery of the mysterious tome known as [[A Weathered Journal]].

Tancred RedStar:

[[Image:City_trade_minister.jpg|right]]
''Work in progress''
==Overview==
Introduced with [[Publish 77]], City Trade Ministers accept a variety of basic resources from players to assist in rebuilding their representative city and providing for the citizenry. City Trade Ministers will accept goods across a variety of professions including, Lumberjacks, Miners, Hunters, Cooks, Fisherman, Archers, Alchemists, Tamers and Herders.

Trade Ministers can be found on the docks of the participating cities, with the exception of "Great Oak Vessels" for Yew and the Stables in Minoc as those cities lack docks.

==Greeting==
Double-clicking the City Trade Minister NPC will display a window explaining donations:

''Greetings and Salutations! I am overjoyed thou hath seen fit to donate to the City! Surely they good deed shall be worthy of praise!''
''We have need for resources and wares from a variety of professions! From Lumberjacks and Miners we require boards and ingots to rebuild our homes. From Hunters we require hides and cut leather to fashion goods and also cuts of rubs to feed the hungry. Cooks are in need to baked bread, while any citizen wouldst nay turn away a Fisherman's fresh catch of Crab and Lobster, or would even find fish steaks! Our archers are in need of tools for their trade, and so the Bowyer can provide Bows and Crossbows. Our citizens are always in need of healing, restorative, and sometimes devastating salves, and so we call upon Alchemists to donate simple potions. Finally our soldiers, ranchers, and farmers are in need of all manner of beasts. Hitch any dogs, cats, cows, goats, horses, sheep, pigs, or chickens to the post here and we will most certainly be appreciative!''

==Donations==
Donating items or animals in a city increases loyalty points for the character with that city.

===Animals===
The hitching post next to the trade minister will accept dogs, cats, cows, goats, horses, sheep, pigs and chickens. To donate the animal, double-click the hitching post and target the creature. A confirmation window will appear to verify your intent. Animals that have been [[Herding|herded]], but not tamed, may be donated, so beware of stealthers.

===Items===
For convenience, items may either be placed singly onto the donation crate or with other items in a container. When donating a container holding items, a confirmation gump will appear displaying the quantities of each of item by type. Make sure to check the listing as all donations are final.

The following items can be donated:
*Boards
*Ingots
*Hides
*Cut Leather
*Ribs - [[Image:Cut_of_raw_ribs.png]][[Cut of Raw Ribs]], NOT cooked [[Image:Cut_of_ribs.png]][[Cut of Ribs]]
*Baked Bread - [[Image:Bread_loaf.png‎]] but NOT [[Image:Bread_loaf_crumbed.png]]
*Fish Steaks - [[Image:Raw_fish_steak.png]][[Raw Fish Steak]]s, NOT cooked [[Image:Fish_steak.png]][[Fish Steak]]s
*Crabs
*Lobsters
*Simple Potions - stacked potions accepted, but cannot be donated in a potion keg
*Bows
*Crossbows

'''Note:''' Items that are not accepted when donating a container holding items will remain in the container in the character's backpack.
===Item Value of Donations===
The donation crate will accept different varieties of a type of item, although it is not clear if rarer or higher-value types award more loyalty points.

For example, while the donation crate will accept any type of cut leather, no differentiation is made when donating Barbed leather or Spined leather despite Barbed leather being worth more. This is especially evident when donating items together in a container, ten pieces of two different types of leather would simply display as twenty pieces of cut leather in the donation confirmation window.

==Greeting==
''Greetings and Salutations! I am overjoyed thou hath seen fit to donate to the City! Surely they good deed shall be worthy of praise!''
''We have need for resources and wares from a variety of professions! From Lumberjacks and Miners we require boards and ingots to rebuild our homes. From Hunters we require hides and cut leather to fashion goods and also cuts of rubs to feed the hungry. Cooks are in need to baked bread, while any citizen wouldst nay turn away a Fisherman's fresh catch of Crab and Lobster, or would even find fish steaks! Our archers are in need of tools for their trade, and so the Bowyer can provide Bows and Crossbows. Our citizens are always in need of healing, restorative, and sometimes devastating salves, and so we call upon Alchemists to donate simple potions. Finally our soldiers, ranchers, and farmers are in need of all manner of beasts. Hitch any dogs, cats, cows, goats, horses, sheep, pigs, or chickens to the post here and we will most certainly be appreciative!''

==Turn-in Items==
===Animals===
The hitching post next to the trade minister will accept dogs, cats, cows, goats, horses, sheep, pigs and chickens. To donate the animal, double-click the hitching post and target the tamed creature. A confirmation window will appear to verify your intent.

===Commodities===
The donation crate next to the Minister of Trade will accept items by simply dropping them onto the crate. Multiple items can be donated together in a container and a confirmation window will appear detailing the number and general type of items to be donated.

The following items can be donated:
*Boards
*Ingots
*Hides
*Cut Leather
*Ribs - [[Image:Cut_of_raw_ribs.png]]Cut of Raw Ribs, not cooked [[Image:Cut_of_ribs.png]]Cut of Ribs)
*Baked Bread - [[Image:Bread_loaf.png‎]] but NOT [[Image:Bread_loaf_crumbed.png]]
*Fish Steaks - [[Image:Raw_fish_steak.png]][[Raw Fish Steak]]s, not cooked [[Image:Fish_steak.png]][[Fish Steak]]s
*Crabs
*Lobsters
*Simple Potions (stacked potions allowed, but cannot be donated in a potion keg)
*Bows
*Crossbows

===Item Value===
The crate will accept different varieties of a type of item, although it is not clear if rarer or higher-value types award more loyalty points.

For example, while the crate will accept any type of cut leather, no differentiation is made when donating Barbed leather or Spined leather despite Barbed leather being worth more. This is specifically evident when donating items together in a container, ten pieces of two different types of leather would simply display as twenty pieces of cut leather in the confirmation window.

[[Image:Potion_Keg.gif|right]]
Used mainly for the storage of [[Potion]]s. They cannot be stacked, [[Weight|weigh]] twenty stones each, and can be crafted by [[Tinkering|Tinkers]].

Kegs can store up to 100 potions of the same type. For every potion added, their weight increases by four fifths of a stone (up to a maximum of 100 stones). They may be dyed with a [[Furniture Dye Tub]], which is often helpful for coloring the kegs to match the potion type inside.

Potions removed directly by use of the [[Gardening]] display window will not decrease the weight of a keg. This is a bug. Manually pouring a potion into an [[Empty Bottle]] will correct the issue.

The contextual menu option to entirely dump the contents of a keg so that it may be re-used has not yet been implemented.

==Crafting==
Skill required: 
75.0 [[Tinkering]]

Components:
* 1 Empty [[Keg]]
* 10 [[Empty Bottle]]s
* 1 [[Barrel Lid]]
* 1 [[Keg Tap]]

==Turn-in Items==
===Animals===
The hitching post next to the trade minister will accept dogs, cats, cows, goats, horses, sheep, pigs and chickens. To donate the animal, double-click the hitching post and target the tamed creature. A confirmation window will appear to verify your intent.

===Commodities===
The donation crate next to the Minister of Trade will accept items by simply dropping them onto the crate. Multiple items can be donated together in a container and a confirmation window will appear detailing the number and general type of items to be donated.

The following items can be donated:
*Boards
*Ingots
*Hides
*Cut Leather
*Ribs (Cut of Raw Ribs, not Cut of Ribs(cooked))
*Baked Bread [[Image:Bread_loaf.png‎]] but NOT [[Image:Bread_loaf_crumbed.png]]
*Fish Steaks ([[Image:Raw_fish_steak.png]][[Raw Fish Steak]]s, not cooked [[Image:Fish_steak.png]][[Fish Steak]]s)
*Crabs
*Lobsters
*Simple Potions (cannot be donated in a potion keg)
*Bows
*Crossbows

===Item Value===
The crate will accept different varieties of a type of item, although it is not clear if rarer or higher-value types give more credit. For example, while the crate will accept any type of cut leather, no differentiation is made when donating Barbed leather or Spined leather despite Barbed leather being worth more. This is specifically evident when donating items together in a container, ten pieces of two different types of leather would simply display as twenty pieces of cut leather in the confirmation window.

Exodus

2012-06-24T14:13:18Z

Tancred RedStar: Updated and cleaned up a bit, could probably use a bit more info and clean up.

'''Exodus''' was a villain in Ultima lore, the spawn of the evil wizard [[Mondain]] and consort [[Minax]].

===Ultima Online===
In Ultima Online, Exodus was based out of [[Ilshenar]], in a dungeon (aptly called [[Exodus Dungeon]]) in the central region of that [[facet]]. His meddling in the timeline of Ilshenar caused the official fiction of that facet to change. He was behind the invasions of certain [[cities]] by the [[Juka]], together with Lord [[Blackthorn]] in 2003. Indeed, it is Exodus who is credited with "assisting" Blackthorn's transformation from philosopher of [[Chaos]] and spoiled, embittered nobleman to full-fledged agent of evil. Exodus was not actually seen in-game in UO, but it was said in February 2003 by [[Dawn]], a [[Royal Knight]] of the realm, that Exodus had greatly faded and that his power was waning in Ilshenar, following the death of [[Blackthorn]].

In 2012, during [[The Awakening]] epic story-arc, Exodus took advantage of civil unrest and a weakening of the boundaries between planes to attempt to subvert Britiannia. Various clues soon pointed to Ilshenar and specifically the Exodus dungeon. This invariably concluded with adventurers assaulting the dungeon, led by a recently returned [[Dupre]], and destroying Exodus in a final confrontation that was notable for the introduction and distribution of a rare item, the [[Scroll of Valiant Commendation]].

===Ultima Lore===
In classical Ultima lore, from the single-player games, Exodus was the prodigy of [[Mondain]] and [[Minax (Ultima)|Minax]], and alludes to "it" being a sentient computer of some kind, programmed by the use of four different punch cards. The highly mechanized features of the Exodus dungeon in Ultima Online appear to back that up to some degree.

Scroll of Valiant Commendation

2012-06-24T13:56:20Z

Tancred RedStar: Created.

[[Image:Scroll_of_valiant_commendation.png]]
===Overview===
A '''Scroll of Valiant Commendation''' was awarded to some players participating in the destruction of [[Exodus]] in the [[Call To Arms]] event. When used, it confers a +5 stat cap increase, supposedly above and beyond the current 255 maximum.

===Distribution===
It is distributed as a random drop in a pool of damage dealers for doing sufficient damage to Exodus. The exact number awarded per event is uncertain but probably ranges from 15-30. The event itself is considered epic in nature as it kills off a major character from Ultima lore and is run only once per shard June 22-25, 2012. The time and date for the running of the event on each shard was publicized on the Ultima Online website via a [http://www.uoherald.com/node/625 published schedule]

===Usage===
Double-clicking the scroll adds five points to the character's stat cap. The scroll may be [[insured]] upon receiving and is neither [[blessed]] nor [[cursed]]. This is a bit unusual for such powerful consumable items as most player award items are blessed and power scrolls cursed. The scroll is not believed to be character-bound prior to usage. However, once used the item description changes from usage instructions to a personalized keepsake.

Event Moderator

2012-05-11T02:48:58Z

Tancred RedStar: Updated Sonoma EM's

{{tocright}}
==Overview==
An '''Event Moderator''' is a paid "contract employee" of EA. Their job is to run in-game events (see [[EM Events]]), similar to those run by unpaid volunteers called [[Seer]]s many years prior.

==History==
The EM program was introduced in August 2003 to replace the volunteer program following the release of the [[Age of Shadows]]. The first EM events revolved around the return of the villain [[Minax]].

This first iteration of the program eventually waned and was discontinued by EA in February 2004. Based on statements made by players, the quality of the EMs, like the quality of their events, varied widely.

On many [[Shard]]s, the legacy of unfinished EM events, personified by things like burning docks at Trinsic and monster spawns in unusual places, remained for some years.

Some years later, specifically in October 2008, [[Calvin Crowner]] announced on [http://www.uoherald.com/news/news.php?newsid=455 UO.com] that the Event Moderator program would be returning for the [[Stygian Abyss]] and the epic [[Warriors of Destiny]] event cycle. This was shortly followed a week later with a [http://www.uoherald.com/application/ call for applications] which included both a writing sample and event sample as part of the application process. The finalized list of EM's for the beginning of the second iteration of the EM program was announced mid-December 2008.

Like the earlier incarnation of the program, the quality of the Event Moderators was said by players to vary widely. Those of [[Europa]], [[Catskills]], and [[Great Lakes]] seem to be particularly well-liked by the players.

==Controversies==
Since the [[Age of Shadows]] expansion, UO was more item-based than it had been previously. It is fitting, therefore, that the controversies of EM events have typically revolved around items.

During the first round, a common complaint was that EM Event items were often over-powered. (This was before there were caps on such item properties as [[Mana Regeneration]], [[Lower Mana Cost]], etc.) Also, many of the items were highly "duped" (see [[Duping]], and [[Replicas]]).

During the second round, a common complaint was that the EM Event items were decorative-only, and were handed out too infrequently. Another controversy, early on in the program, involved accusations of favoritism in distribution of items.

EM Event items are now decorative or ceremonial only, and are available only infrequently. This has, predictably, yet again led to complaints.

During the first round, the program generated controversy by having almost all of its events in [[Felucca]], where conditions almost universally favored [[Player Killer]]s, who managed to walk away with many items which their original owners swore were insured, but the Player Killers swore were not insured. (See [[Item Insurance]].)

==Reception==
It is fair to say that the second round of EM Events has been better received than was the first round. It seems to be generally true that players like the current round of the program and are attached to their Shard's EM. A prominent player from Great Lakes once proclaimed the EMs to be "the future of UO," drawing comparisons to the [[Stygian Abyss]] expansion.

==Operation of the Program==
During both rounds of the program, an EM had at least 2 in-game personae. One was him- or her-self. The other was a character, sometimes called an RPC or "RolePlaying Character." During the first round of EM events, this character was typically part of the [[Ruling Council]] that ruled [[Britannia]] after [[Lord British]] left the realm for the second time.

The two personae are usually entirely separate. When an EM shows up as him- or herself, the event is going to be out-of-character. Examples have included trivia contests and chicken killing. When an EM shows up as his or her RPC, the event is going to be in-character. It is usually going to have a specific task to perform, "clues" to find new event locations, etc.

For example, Lake Superior's EM during the first round was Glamdring, and he appeared in-character as Thomas Winters, Prime Minister of the Realm and Commander of the [[Royal Guard]]. For another example, during the second round, one of Great Lakes's EMs was Malachi, and his character was [[Magnus Grey]], the Royal Spymaster.

EMs who have participated the program since the beginning of the second round are granted the prepending title '''Elder'''.

In October 2010, the EM Program was extended to the Japanese shards, starting with [[Yamato]].

Leurocian

2012-05-06T20:25:44Z

Tancred RedStar: Created.

'''Patrick "Leurocian" Malott''' was a [[Dev]] for Ultima Online for two distinct periods. During his first tenure from 2004 til June 2005, he served as a Associate Game Designer and was known for refreshing the Fishing profession by introducing Ancient SOS's, [[Special Fishing Net]]s and other items as well as introducing exciting new content in [[Ilshenar]] such as [[Paragon]]s and [[Artifacts (Paragon)|Ilshenar Minor Artifacts]]. He ended this first stint with Electronic Arts in June 2005.

In 2006, Leurocian returned to UO as Lead Game Designer and mostly worked on the [[Ultima Online: Stygian Abyss]] expansion. In June 2009 he left the Ultima Online team and transitioned to EA's team working '''Star Wars: The Old Republic''' where he continues to work to this day(''May 2012'').

Leurocian is immortalized within Ultima Online by having the highly prized [[Leurocian's Mempo of Fortune]] named after him.

Ammo

2012-05-06T19:48:13Z

Tancred RedStar: Created.

Ammo, short for ammunition, is broadly a term used to describe arrows for bows or bolts for crossbows. When it appears as an item property, usually on [[Quiver]]s, it describes the number of remaining arrows or bolts held within out of the total capacity, which is the maximum number of those items that can be stored within. Since running out of ammo makes those weapons useless, it's important to keep an eye on the amount of ammo remaining.
