History

Maker's marks have undergone changes since Ultima Online was first released. This has led to some old items being considered rarities due to their deprecated maker's marks.

Early maker's marks, a broadsword for example, would simply display as "Broadsword by" with the crafter's name. Later maker's marks, a tailored item for example, added an action verb, such as "Sewn by" followed by the crafter's name.
