Black Belt

Black Belt

This Black Belt System is exclusive to UO Evolution. It is a very powerful system and is designed to be an end-game item. The Belt IS intended to to take months of challenging game play to create!

The belt starts white and evolves to a powerful black belt with use and experience

Enjoy the journey, grasshopper!

Crafting the Blackbelt

The Belt of Tokuno (Black Belt) is crafted using the Tailor skill (100+) and 12 Ancestral Cloth

Ancestral cloth can be obtained from killing Ancestral Spirits, and are located at ruin locations throughout Tokuno

Sieging the Temples/Dojos

Several fortified temples/dojos are located in the lands Tokuno. You must find the temples and defeat the special temple dwellers to be awarded points toward your belt.

Dojo 2 - Fandancer
Dojo 3 - Undead
Dojo 4 - Bushido
Dojo 5 - Bridge
Dojo 6 - Garden
Dojo 7 - Forgotten Desert
Dojo 8 - Abandoned

There are some unique defenses including fire traps, doors, and hidden foes that you must strategically defeat!

Tokuno Dojo Defenders

You can only earn points from the following:

• Sohie (Temple Guards)
• Yamabushi (Temple Guards)
• Temple Samurai
• Temple Monk
• Temple Priest
• Temple Archer

Emperor Seals

The beginner levels are relatively easy to achieve, but as you progress the Emperor requires a seal to prove that you are worthy before you move on to the Orange belt and above.

You must craft a special colored Emperor Seal before you can obtain the next belt level

Emperor's Seals are crafted with the tinkerer skill (100+) AND Bushido skill (100+). The materials required vary depending upon the color.

After you craft the correct colored seal for the Emperor, he requires you to collect 10 minor Treasures of Tokuno (ToT) artifacts as tribute to his greatness! After you collect the 10 minor artifacts, double-click the seal and add the artifacts to the seal. Once this is accomplished you can advance to the next level belt.

Note: You cannot use the Heirloom Chest as a minor artifact

Belt Stages

As your belt increases in power, the belt color will change at each stage as follows.

Stage 1 = White
Stage 2 = Yellow

Emperor Seal Required

Stage 3 = Orange
Stage 4 = Green
Stage 5 = Blue

After stage 5, the belt becomes soul-bound (permanently attached to your character)

Stage 6 = Red
Stage 7 = Purple
Stage 8 = Brown
Stage 9 = Black

There is a great post on the forums that describes a walk-through of the black belt system
