I would really like to see a link between the water sprinklers and a water trough.  In OSI we had something similar with a water pitcher called, "The Endless Decanter of Water" which gave us the ability to link the pitcher to the water trough, thereby never needing to refill the pitcher while we watered our plants. Right now we're using a sprinkler-filling container which empties quickly, as does the sprinklers. 

Makes kind of real life sense to have a link from our sprinklers to a water source, like a virtual pipe leading from one to the other.

By the way, the decanter was gotten in a very funny way.  You had to toss a water filled pitcher at a live water elemental.  You had a chance to get the decanter in your pack.  Water elementals could only be used once for this purpose.  If you didn't get it the first time you had to find another water elemental and try again.  :)

I love this.  I too started plants and as I keep adding, I find it a pita to keep going to fill the pitchers from the WT.  This would be most awesome. 8)

Thank you guys for replies.   :)   The more plants I have the more I appreciate the sprinklers...the idea of doing all of that by hand is...well...ouch my sore hands!  But I'd still like a link from the water trough to the water sprinklers. 

This is such a great shard; I have found my niche.  :)

Build yourself a macro that does it.


Easy UO or UOSteam should be able to do it.


If they are able to connect the sprinklers and a water trough though I believe a lot of players will be very happy.


I would enjoy seeing a gump that would let a player turn a plot into a garden instead of a house plot which would then allow this.  A deed that places a tag on the plot might be doable for something like this.
