	This user plays on the Oceania shard.

edit x2500	This user has made over 2500 edits on UOGuide.

A user of the (somewhat underpopulated) Oceania shard for roughly two years, I originally joined UO sometime around the start of 2006.

Typically I use the original 2D client (though I also have Kingdom Reborn installed and (usually) kept up to date). As a general rule I use human characters, as their "jack of all trades" bonus really does provide some level of reliability in any given situation (and because they can carry more gold then their elven equivalents).

More of a PvM then PvP type, my usual character choice is a tamer/mage. I do have a Stratics forum account, though I try not to spend too much time there - my internet addiction is bad enough as it is.

Oceania Characters:

Bomb Bloke - He who belts things with a sword
Boris - He who has far too many pets
Samantha - She who knows only of spells
Fluffles - He who crafts things
Frankston - He who is a crafter/resource gatherer

Bomb Bloke:

-I started out with a [[Swordsmanship|Swordsman]].
+A user of the (somewhat underpopulated) [[Oceania]] shard for roughly two years, I originally joined UO sometime around the start of 2006.
-After the first year I thought I was reasonably "powerful". I had a 50% chance of surviving against a [[Paragon]] [[Demon]] even! At this point, however, I discovered that [[Lower Reagent Cost|LRC]] can be used to reduce reagent costs to nothing and so I began training a tamer mage...
+Typically I use the original [[Clients#2D_Client|2D client]] (though I also have [[Kingdom Reborn]] installed and (usually) kept up to date). As a general rule I use [[human]] characters, as their "jack of all trades" bonus really does provide some level of reliability in any given situation (and because they can carry more gold then their [[Elves|elven]] equivalents).
-For those interested in creating such a character, start with as much [[Animal Taming]] and [[Veterinary]] skill as possible. They are painfully slow to train from scratch. I learnt this lesson the hard way.
+More of a [[PvM]] then [[PvP]] type, my usual character choice is a tamer/mage. I do have a [http://vboards.stratics.com/member.php?find=lastposter&t=98802 Stratics forum account], though I try not to spend too much time there - my internet addiction is bad enough as it is.
-[[Magery]] (and it's related skills), on the other hand, can be picked up fairly easily by equipping a skill reducing [[Wand]]. It was this skill I capped out first.
-Returning to the demon nest, I experimented with some summoning spells and found that what were once difficult battles were now simply a formality: Being able to sit behind my minions while throwing in the odd healing spell meant that my character's well being was no longer an issue.
-Upon finally reaching the skill levels required to tame a [[Nightmare]] (with heavy use of [[Jewelry]] I admit), I returned once again and found that I could now easily take on multiple even paragon demons with an untrained mare at my command.

-Since then I have stuck with my tamer, now able to venture where ever he should wish - Usually with my trusty [[Cu Sidhe]] in tow (a slow yet reliable combat steed). My current goal is to achieve a [[Treasure_Chest#Paragon_Chests|Paragon Chest]] from an [[Ancient Wyrm]] (the demons now being considered more as amusing scenery then as an actual challenge).
