Black Belt System

Black Belt System

UO Evolution Ultima Online free shard has added an extensive amount of New Samurai Empire content to compliment the original SE:UO expansion.

The UOE team has been working on creating new buildings, monsters and systems to enhance the limited content from the original UO:SE expansion that was released by UO back in 2004.

The original reviews about the Samurai Empire expansion were not great, so it was always our intent, as developers, to make this new addition have engaging, relevant content that enhanced the Asian theme.

There are no other UO freeshards that have this expansion and this exclusive content is what sets UO Evolution apart from the other free shards

Belt of Tokuno - Blackbelt System

Emperor's 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.
