How to Train Skills

Skills on Sanctuary should train in the normal way for UO. In addition, you can purchase limited training from NPCs as well as advanced " book skills" both of which are available on Master NPCs. Skills must be defined in your .spec to be trained.

Passive Skill Gain

You will gain skill simply by being in game. It takes approximately 170 hrs to GM a skill passively. However, we hope this will reduce any of the anxiety or rush to usage skill gain, not forcing you to choose between RPing and training. The system will randomly train any skill over 10 that is not locked. That means to have a skill be available for passive skill gain, you will need to usage train it over 10. It only picks one skill at a time to train, thus to GM 10 skills would take 1700 hrs. Passive skill gain is curved, lower skill trains faster then higher skill.

This system should also help the casual player. They won't need to choose between working a skill and just rping. Oh it will take a long time, but its free.

While many vendors and NPCs in UO train a variety of different skill, and many still do on Sanctuary as well, we have standardized the training to our Master NPCs. There is a complete selection of Master NPC;s on Summer Isle, and their locations have been indicated below. Further, the Master NPCs are likely to sell spell books, ability books and the crafting book skill. Read more ..
