We will be using the last set of Serv UO scripts that we built. The user manual will contain only those aspects which are non-standard additions. To those who have never played UO before; this wiki does not teach you how to play UO, rather it assumes you know how, and only need to know what is new or different from standard game play. We will make an effort to provide a selection of other websites for players new to the game mechanics.

Not AOS

Please note that we have AOS (Age of Shadow) changes DISABLED on Sanctuary. We are not using any of the elemental resists or elemental damage options now standard in Ultima Online. Instead, we are using a blend of new stuff with the elemental aspects turned off, as well as a return to the old magic item options for power, destruction, etc. We understand that some of the screens (gumps) still show elemental resists, but they SHOULD NOT affect game play. (If they do please report it.).

This means that many of the skills in-game are not exactly like standard UO; so when reading UO Stratics or UO Guide, please keep this in mind. We do intend to do more with magic items and stuff, but not for a while.

Please Report

We are sure that there will be a number of things we find that will need to be fixed, as it stands, between now and Go Live (9/1). Staff reserve the right to fix/confiscate anything they think is either unbalanced or just plain ugly. Please help out and report any of the following things:

Glowing or spangled colored items.

Known Issues

8/11/19: Necromancy, Spellweaving, Chivalry (Devotion), Ninjitsu (Deception) and Bushido (Precision) are all only partially implemented because we turned of AOS and they all need a review and some attention. They should be resolved in a few weeks.
8/11/19: There are some really badly scripted mobs in the base Serv UO code and occasionally spawning them crashes the shard. Please be patient with us as we try and get Underhill spawned.
8/11/19: Almost all of Grimmwold's crafting system has been moved over, but some with more skill then others ... expect changes to keep coming.
8/14/19: Weapon abilities being set to pre-AOS.

Not Skills

How to Train Skills: Skills on Sanctuary use our Grimmwold methods for skill training, including passive gains, 2 min timer activation, no difficulty checks, more than 1300 skill points using a .spec setting, and so on.
