We will be updating the wiki with more information, current updates, new links, quest walk thru and removing all the old info that has become outdated or incorrect.
 
We would like players to submit any detailed information here, that you would like to be included in the wiki update

Awesome Dante, this is long overdue  ;) .  Another item that would help, on the donation page, could you guys include the stats of some of the items that are available like the pets, jewelry (wizard items)
most items are on display at the museum, pet stats are on the wiki,
and add weapons and armor to the "change item ID on clothing".  I'll keep looking, and again thanks for undertaking this!

I would be nice to see updated champ spawns page. Currently that page is missing at least one spawn and also describes non existing spawns (like Valor spawn in ilshenar which is replaced by something else), and info on champ respawn times is not precise. Also it would be nice to include some general info for new players like what are crafter champs, where you can get powerscrolls and where not, non-fel champ stealing rules.
send me the missing info and coords and ill change it asap

Parry and Bushido skill page rewrite.

To the best of my knowledge this information attached is correct.  Since the parry changes the wiki should have those two skill pages merged into one.

  The information you seek is found on the EVO wiki, under Craft Guides.

  Blacksmithing runic rules are the base for all other runics as far as I can tell. Use these rules for all other runic types. {Tailoring, Carpentry, Bowyery, & Tinkering}

I found a disrepency for the pet repair system. The wiki says it takes 10 willow sage to make a str tonic yet in game it says 15 willow. The dex tonic says it takes 10 pachouli to make yet in game it says 15. Interestingly enough the int tonic says 10 of the two kinds of herbs needed so I'm not sure if the wiki is wrong or if the in game vet tool is wrong; or even if int tonics are intended to be easier to make.
 
Also the follwing pet ointments arn't listed:
Cold resist ointment: valerian 10, mugwart 10, orange petals 5, bandages 100
Poison resist ointment: lavender 10, olive 10, slumgum 5, bandages 100
Energy resist ointment:rose 10, orris 10, orange petals 5, bandages 100
 
I would assume the min/max skills to be the same as physical/fire. 
 
I'd go in and change the wiki myself but I'm not sure if players are allowed to or if there is a limit on who can alter the wiki. Thanks Silver.

We are going to work on the Wiki update for the next month to get all the info current and accurate again after all of the 40 updates we have done in the last 6 months.  We are going to add lots of pics and charts along with more details. 


If you want to contribute any screenshots, info, walk-thrus, or how-to guides, please start working on them now and submit them to Dante for editing so we can add it to the wiki


Thank you very much for all the help improving YOUR shard:)

As a player started a week ago and read everything I was able to locate on the wiki, forum and google.. I was still missing (or found confusing) following information:
1) [new chat is disabled
It was an opt in channel and no one wanted to add it, so there was no assistance for the new players
2) Links to uo.stratics for Craft guides are very confusing, I would rather link uoguides
Yes we will update and add better links
3) HOW TO MAKE SOME MONEY WHILE I DON'T HAVE AWESOME PET? Something easier than "Gold panning". Some locations to make money would be perfect
4) More newbie information on pets. Something straight-forward and simple. Like "you should aim to get this/this/this pet first and make money as per 3)". Since a week time to bond is huge, average bond deed costs XXX and could be found on the market or bought on donations page
5) When I just downloaded a client I had no idea what first skills I had to choose for the start. At that time I had no idea that most of skills could be trained to 40 and skill gain is pretty easy for most of skills. Some suggestions HOW TO CREATE A CHARACTER and what skills to choose would be perfect here
This info is on the wiki, new player guide and skills info
6) Almost impossible to locate any good information on UOAssist/UOSteam (btw all download links are broken) (links on the "how to connect" section are all working.  Where do you encounter broken links?) It's good for me I am an IT person so it was easy for me, but I doubt it is will be easy for other people. There is more information on Razor over the web, but still it would be nice to have a dedicated page on wiki or post on forum answering lots of newbie questions. +Forum board to share scripts (btw, happy to moderate it, pm me if interested)
7) As addition to 6) - some tutorials on macroing, hotkeys etc
8. Clean up all outdated guides over the forum. Create a dedicated board for guides (now some of these are located in FAQ some in Help! etc)(yes we can easily organize in the future)
9) Emphasize Domino Library on the wiki. I've wasted a lot of time before I knew all runes could be easily accessed there.
10) MORE INFORMATION ON AUGMENTS! On types, how it work, etc. I still don't get it.
11) More information on weapons.

to be continued.


tyvm for the suggestions

So, would there be any interest in someone like myself helping update the Wiki?  I have a decent amount of free time, and i compile information like a dragon hoards gold.  And i wouldnt mind helping to get it more up to date.  There have been times that i've gotten confused with a bit of things and i could help keep it maintained :)


Yes, please keep sending me updates!

I think it would be more useful if you allowed people to have accounts on the wiki.
Then you could just check the added pages, or even better have selected (distinguished) people as moderators on the wiki to check from time to time the added/modified pages.

This way it will be more easy to update it (and me and surely others would do their part to do it) and you'll have less work to do since you don't need to maintain the wiki anymore.
Moreover, a wiki should be like that anyway :P


We did do that for a while, but the griefers, spammers etc ruined it and it was more work to prevent that than it was to add it myself.  There is also special formatting to learn and too much misinformation and spoilers that were being added.  If you would like to add a section please just contact me or email it, ty

The uosteam link in the wiki needs to be updated. A few people in teamspeak couldn't connect, myself among them when we first started back, I had to uninstall and reinstall it directly from uosteam website.

Small and minor fix

Is anyone working on updating the Augments page? http://uoevolution.com/wiki/index.php/Sockets/Augments . The values seem to have changed from whenever this table was created.  One example is for Legendary Sapphire, The chart has:


[/t][/t]Sockets    Weapon              Shield            Armor      Cloth    Jewelry      Spellbook      Trinket        Creature
       
2          6 Hit Col Area    4 Cold Res            2 Int                            
2 Int             2 Int                 2 Int             10 Int

but the augment itself states:
         2          25 Hit cold area  15 Cold Res          8 Int                                                                                                  20 Int

This is a huge discrepancy. Is it possible to pull the numbers from the script again and update this? Would adding the Glimmering skill rocks and attack/defense runes that are available be possible as well? Also, i have never seen an augment list Spellbook or Trinket values in its tool tips?

 Any update would be very helpful to the entire population of us trying to figure out gear designs and not completely mess things up. Especially for those of us who have very little play time available.

  Thanks for the heads up, Drow.

Once Kane drops his new item creation system, I'll be sure to get around to asking questions about all sorts of items. That, as well as try to touch base, if not update the wiki pages on Augmentations.  Look for a wiki update coming soon, however, concerning Base Stats.

  The wiki needs improvement, and I like to start at the beginning. Once we have a good foundation, everything else falls into place.

Yeah, that page on the wiki needs to be updated.  In the meantime, here's some info to help new players understand this ability:

PET REPAIR SYSTEM

By opening an "Advanced Veterinary Kit" the current Tonics & Ointments that can be made to enhance/repair your pet are listed, as well as the ingredients needed to make the potions.

Monster Contracts:  There is an NPC named "Joseph the Monster Killer".  He can be found in his Monster Contract Dealer shop just north of Britain bank directly behind the Flower Shop.  When you click on Joseph and choose "Talk"--you will receive a monster contract in your main backpack.  On it is named the monster you need to kill and the amount to fulfill the contract, and the amount of money you will receive. There is a time limit before you can click on him again to receive another contract.

To use the contract, kill the monster named on the deed. Double-click the contract deed, click the red "corpse" bar and a target cursor will come up.  Target the correct monster's corpse--it will disappear and one kill will be added to your contract.  When the contract is completed place it in your bank box and click on it. Money will be given to you and a special random reward item may appear in your main backpack including a book called "Advanced Veterinary Techniques and You", an "advanced veterinary kit", a dark blue "vial of restorative goo", or a "bio-engineering tool". (Please add more rewards to this list if there are others I haven't seen. Thank you.)

The book "Advanced Veterinary Techniques and You" is eaten/read/used to learn the advanced veterinary skill.  If you receive this book from fulfilling a contract you can use it if your vet skill is at level 110 or higher.  If you buy the book or acquire it any other way you will not be able to use the book until your vet is at 120.  Your other two pet skills should be gm or higher for either.

Using the Advanced Veterinary Kit:

There are two types of potions that can be made with the kit: Tonics enhance/repair stats: strength, dexterity and intelligence. Ointments enhance/repair magic resists: fire, cold, poison, energy, physical. 
Currently, there are no potions to enhance/repair hit points, stamina or mana.

For making Tonics: Cooking is the primary skill, (around 150.0 is a good level for success), combined with secondary skill Alchemy 75.0, and third skills are Taste Identification 75.0, Anatomy 75.0, , Ninjitsu 75.0, or Evaluating Intelligence 75.0, (depending on the specific tonic being made).  Magic cloth and a good talisman to enhance your primary skill is necessary to make Tonics 100 percent of the time. The secondary  and third skills can be the bare minimum listed above but it's always a plus to have them higher.

For making Ointments: Cooking is the primary skill, (around 150.0 is a good level for success), and secondary skill is Veterinary 55.0, and third skills are Magery 55.0, Necromancy 55.0, Poisoning 55.0, and Spellweaving 55.0, depending on the ointment being made. Once again, magic cloth and a good cooking talisman will better insure success in making the ointments and the secondary and third skills can be bare minimum as listed above.

Materials needed for Tonics: Spring water, a vial of restorative goo, a large jewel, (either a Dark Sapphire, Ecru Citrine or Blue Diamond depending on the tonic being made).

1. Spring water: Acquire these from Druids, (named reds), scattered throughout Ilshenar in groups of 1-4.  They are usually accompanied by a few aggressive wolves that will attack when you kill the Druids.  Both the druids and their pets are easy to kill.  Druids also drop "Destroying Angel" and "Petrified Wood" that can be used to make other things so be sure to pick those up, as well.

2. Vial of Restorative Goo: This can be found in locked chests in Felucca dungeons, bought from players/vendors, and found in treasure chests from fishing/cartography, or a reward from turning in completed monster contracts.

3. Large Jewels: Gold panning, treasure chests, locked chests in Felucca dungeons, bought from players/vendors or dropped as loot from a few monsters.
 

Materials needed to make Ointments: Plant resources, (either red leaves, orange petals or green thorns), slumgum, dragon's blood, bandages.

1. Plant resources: red leaves, orange petals, green thorns.  Refer to this great website for information on growing these resources yourself:  uo.stratics.com/content/basics/plantcrossing.php?color=Plain Colored&Plant=Snowdrops
Or buy from players/vendors.

2. Slumgum: (a product made when refining raw beewax acquired from the bee raising skill). The Vesper Bee Shop has all the materials to raise bees, including the bee hives, (The beehives come with a table that will automatically spawn when you place the beehive deed).  There is a stone of instructions in the shop to get you started raising bees.  There are stones where you can also purchase tools to extract honey and raw beeswax from the hives, and tools to render the raw wax into other materials, including slumgum.  Players/vendors sell slumgum, as well.

3. Dragon's Blood: Acquired from dragons and dragon types, stone silth or toxic silth and ruddy boura--(both types of silth and boura are found in Ter Mur). If there are any other monsters that drop dragon's blood could you add it to this list. Thank you. Players/vendors also sell dragon's blood on occasion.

4. Bandages can be bought in New Haven from the stone in front of the Tailor shop, bought from healers, or cut up cloth with scissors to make bandages.
